Abstract: A driving force control device for a four-wheel drive vehicle including one pair of front or rear driven wheels which are driven directly by a prime mover and another pair of front or rear driven wheels which are driven via a hydraulic clutch, a first hydraulic pump which is driven by being operatively connected to the one pair of driven wheels, and a second hydraulic pump which is driven by being operatively connected to the other pair of driven wheels. The engagement force of the hydraulic clutch is controllable based on the difference in rotation of the first and second hydraulic pumps. The torque transmission to the other pair of the front or rear driven wheels can thus be controlled according to the driving conditions of the vehicle. The engagement force of the hydraulic clutch is controlled by an engagement force control unit by selecting from multiple engagement characteristics, in which the responsiveness of the torque transmitted by the hydraulic clutch is varied, according to the driving conditions of the vehicle.

Abstract: A material moving system is disclosed for use in a plant such as a metal foundry. There is an overhead gantry for moving a main hook and auxiliary hook. The main hook carries a container such as a scrap charge bucket. The auxiliary hook carries a multi-function auxiliary tool such as a magnet with a tool hook affixed to the magnet. The scrap charge bucket carries a target member on a saddle on the outside of the bucket. The bucket also has a hold out stand that positions the target member for easy accessibility. The target member is attached to actuator cables that are attached to clam shell bottom members of the scrap charge bucket. The auxiliary tool may be used to lift and pull the target member to open the clam shell members without removing the magnet from the auxiliary hook, saving time. The hook on the magnet is positioned so that the hook does not damage the scrap metal bins or electric arc furnaces when the magnet is used for its usual purposes. The target member is shaped so that its position on the magnet is secure when it is lifted off of the saddle support; it has two plates with edges that complement the shape of the magnet, and with a center of gravity that tends to hold the target member against the magnet.

Title: Process for the region-wise transfer of the decorative layer of a transfer foil onto a sustrate and a transfer foil suitable therefor
Inventor: BREHM LUDWIG
IPC: B65C9/25
Filed: 2000-04-22
Granted: 2006-04-18
Abstract: Described is a process for the region-wise transfer of a decorative layer of a transfer foil, which includes an activatable adhesive layer from a carrier film onto a substrate, wherein the adhesive layer of the transfer foil is partially activated before the actual stamping operation, more specifically in such a way that the adhesive layer experiences activation only in the surface regions in which the decorative layer is to be transferred onto the substrate. A transfer foil which is particularly suitable for that process has an absorption layer in the surface regions of the decorative layer, which are to be transferred onto the substrate, which absorption layer absorbs the radiation energy causing activation of the adhesive layer and activates the adhesive layer under the action of the absorbed radiation energy.

Title: Dog training lead
Inventor: BESANCON KENNETH J
IPC: A01K27/00
Filed: 2001-03-21
Granted: 2008-12-30
Abstract: A dog training lead includes first and second sound-producing strips or members. An elastic member is interposed between the first and second strips, and is connected at the opposite ends thereof to and in a coaxial manner with the lead. The elastic member is dimensioned to bias the terminal ends of the first and second strips toward each other to thereby place the central portions of the first and second strips in a first or laterally spaced-apart relationship relative to each other. Upon application of a sharp, corrective pull on the lead by a trainer, the elastic member elongates toward a second position, and this results in the central portions of the first and second strips contacting each other with sufficient speed and force to emit a sharp "snap" sound.

Abstract: A hand held, omnidirectional symbology or bar code reader (10) images linear and two-dimensional bar codes (28; 34; 40; 52; 54) over relatively long working distances. The reader (10) includes an imaging system including a focusing objective taking lens (92) and a two-dimensional photodetector (93) that forms an image of a bar code in X and Y directions simultaneously and generates an electrical signal representative of the code for subsequent downstream processing. Focusing is achieved via a rotating disk (94) that carries a plurality of optical shims (130) or other tight controlling surfaces for different focus zones. A through-the-lens (TTL) targeting system is provided to visually assist the user in positioning the reader (10) for a variety of code modalities to assure that a bar code will be captured within the field of view and be sharply imaged on the photodetector (93) when the lens (92) is focused. Two different forms of artificial illumination are provided to accommodate nearby codes that may be either specular or partially diffuse and more distant codes where the reflection characteristics have less impact on code contrast. All of the reader's components are housed in an ergonomically designed shell (12) to reduce user repetitive stress injuries while providing access to a user interface anda protective cover for the reader's various systems.
