Title: System and method for encoding facsimile data
Inventor: FRIEDMAN STEVEN J
IPC: H04N1/41
Filed: 1994-10-07
Abstract: SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENCODING FACSIMILE DATA                  Abstract of the Disclosure A system and method for facsimile data encoding uses vectors indicating the locations of changing elements along a horizontal scan line. The change vectors are stored in a vector table. The system may use a reference vector table and a coding vector table if CCITT recommendation T.6 two dimensional encoding is used. The system encodes horizontal scan lines using the vectors to determine the location of the changing elements. The value of the reference changing element is easily determined using the vector tables. The system determines the locations of all changing elements on a horizontal scan line before performing any encoding of that particular scan line thus simplifying the encoding process. The system can receive and decode facsimile data to generate change vectors. The change vectors provide a simple mechanism for regenerating the raw data. The change vectors are used to encode raw data into any standard facsimile encoding format, to decode facsimile data, and to interconvert from one encoding format to another without having to convert the encoded data back to raw data.

IPC: B66F9/12
Filed: 1994-11-28
Abstract: Flat, flexible articles such as carpets are commonly transported on wooden pallets, which are prone to breakage, and which must be returned for re-use after the articles have been delivered to their destination.  A simple solution to the problem is to provide a pallet assembly which forms the floor of a truck or tailer, and which includes a casing, a cover on the casing with a load supporting surface, a plurality of support bars vertical slidable in the cover for movement between a lower position substantially flush with the load supporting surface of the cover and an elevated position in which the load is supported by the support bars only, and a drive mechanism at each end of the support bars for simultaneously moving all of the support bars between the lower position and the elevated position.  In the elevated position, the forks of a forklift truck can be inserted between the support bars for transferring a load to such bars or for removing a load therefrom.  A load on the support bars is lowered using the drive mechanism, so that the load is supported by both the bars and the top surface of the cover.

Title: Method for induction sealing an inner bag to an outer container
Inventor: GROOMS JOHN P
IPC: B29C65/18
Filed: 1995-07-07
Abstract: A process for forming, handling, circumferentially sealing, and inverting a thin plastic half bag to an inwardly tapered, continuous inner side wall of an outer plastic container. A non-metallic mandrel is used as a tool for thermoforming a half bag over the top of the mandrel. The top of the mandrel with bag attached is inserted into an open end of the outer plastic container. A continuous metal ring connected at the circumference of the mandrel, positioned near the open end of the half bag, wedges the bag against the tapered inner side wall of the container near the midpoint of the container to form a sealing interface therebetween. A magnetic induction field generated near the container heats the metal ring on the mandrel. Heat is conducted to the sealing interface to weld the bag to the container. After the field is removed and the metal ring cools, the mandrel with metal ring is withdrawn from the thin plastic bag. Vacuum applied to the closed end of the bag from the top of the mandrel causes the bag to be inverted to the open end of the container as the mandrel is withdrawn.
