Title: Envelope transport turn module and ramp for an output portion of an inserter system
Inventor: AUERBACH DAVID R
IPC: B65H15/00
Filed: 2003-06-13
Granted: 2010-01-19
Abstract: An apparatus and method for changing the orientation, height and direction of envelopes conveyed in an inserter system. The invention reorienting horizontally transported envelopes to a vertical position. The envelopes then being transported around a turning arrangement comprised of a length of driven belt urged against a large diameter idler wheel. A turning guide serves to aid the envelopes through the turning arrangement. A ramp module comprised of nips having toroidal outer circumferences elevate the vertical envelopes. The envelopes finally are turned 180 degrees to be sorted into sorting bins. The overall arrangement of the invention results in an output sub-system of an inserter system with a shortened footprint and ergonomically desirable layout. Also, features of the invention provide that envelopes avoid damage and jamming and that recently closed envelope flaps do not inadvertently open.

Abstract: The present invention provides a grazing container for growing a plant variety, such as grass, and making it accessible for a small animal to graze on while preventing access to the growing medium. The apparatus consists of a cover and a container, whereby the cover prevents the unwanted access of the small animal. The cover consists of a framed grid having a plurality of openings.  The container is filled with a growing medium, and seeded to grow one or more plant varieties. The plurality of openings in the cover is dimensioned to allow grass to grow through while preventing limbs of small animals from extending through the grid. These openings also allow watering of the growing medium without the need to remove the cover. The cover may also have a larger opening dimensioned to allow a person to extend a human finger through the larger opening to feel the growing medium for moisture content, yet prevent small animal limbs, such as cat paws, from entering the larger opening. The present invention may also include an attachment member or locking mechanism for securing the cover to the container.

Abstract: Cathodic protection of an existing concrete structure, including a steel member at least partly buried, such as steel rebar, in the concrete structure, is provided by embedding anodes into a fresh concrete layer applied over an excavated patch and/or as a covering overlay. The anodes are embedded at spaced positions or as an array in the layer and connected to the rebar. A reinforcing layer is applied to the anode or adjacent the anode to resist expansion of the anode body tending to cause cracking of the concrete caused by the larger volume of the corrosion products relative to the anode material. Pores are provided in the anode body so as to take up the corrosion products. The reinforcing layer can be provided in the actual anode body as a closed surface surrounding the anode material inside or may be provided in the concrete as a layer on top of the anode in an array form at or near the outer surface of the concrete.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de transférer une pointe d'un matériau en bande (1) d'une première étape de traitement vers une seconde étape de traitement subséquente. Selon l'invention, le matériau en bande (1) est divisé par formation d'une bande (1a) au niveau d'un bord du matériau en bande. La bande (1a) est passée entre deux bords tranchants (5a,6a) proches l'un de l'autre, de sorte que les deux bords tranchants (5a,6a) entourent la bande comme une paire de cisailles. Ensuite, l'un des bords tranchants (6a) est déplacé vers l'autre bord (5a) de sorte que ledit bord (6a) passe sur ledit autre bord (5a), coupant ainsi la bande. Par le même mouvement, la pointe reçoit une impulsion, dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la bande (1a), vers un convoyeur de pointe (7,8) qui intercepte la pointe et la fait passer dans la seconde étape de traitement.

Abstract: A method of transmitting a context identifier of header compression on a data packet connection in a telecommunications system, in which the context identifier can be transmitted either as part of a compressed data packet or in the header of a data packet to be transmitted at the convergence protocol layer of the telecommunications system. The transmission method of the context identifier is selected by comparing the space available in the header of the convergence protocol layer data packets with the number of context identifiers defined for the compression method, and attaching the context identifiers to the headers of the convergence protocol layer data packets or to a compressed data packet, depending on whether the space available in the header of the convergence protocol layer data packets is larger or smaller than the number of context identifiers defined for the compression method.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for limiting communication capabilities in mobile communication devices are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a predetermined condition such as an unsatisfactory temperature or a low battery voltage is detected at the mobile communication device. At this time, a communication request for communicating information through a wireless communication network is received through a user interface. If the communication request is for a non-emergency communication, the non- emergency communication is inhibited during the existence of the predetermined condition. If the communication request is for an emergency communication, however, the emergency communication is allowed despite the existence of the predetermined condition. The emergency communication may be allowed at a reduced transmit power and/or using limited coding/modulation methods. The emergency communication may be a "911" voice call or an emergency message. The reception of communications may still be allowed but inhibited upon more adverse conditions.
