Abstract: A passenger service vehicle is described. The vehicle has a front chassis assembly portion (2) and a rear chassis assembly portion, and a vehicle entrance platform (24) located wholly or substancially above the front chassis assembly portion (2) for passenger access to the vehicle, wherein the length of the front wheels (6) and the front of the portion provides an entrance platform area (24) able to accommodate a secure space for an occupied wheelchair (30) as well as an able-bodied passenger serviceway (26).

Title: Method and device for processing fillets of fish (conveyor belt fillet production)
Inventor: GROSSEHOLZ WERNER
IPC: A22C/
Filed: 2002-03-28
Granted: 2005-12-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing fish fillets includes subjecting fish fillets lying on a skin side to a brief pulling cut in the tail region and a splitting separation by a stationary separating edge which, when the fillets approach, enters in the region of the pulling cut between skin and flesh layers and separates the two layers from each other, while at the same time a pull is exerted on the skin layer. Pressure is exerted on the flesh side of the fillet in the input region thereof against the separating edge, and the pulling cut is triggered under the control of a signal, effected in a few strokes and interrupted again immediately afterwards under the control of the signal, whereupon for continuation of the final separating operation the separating edge enters the region of the pulling cut between skin and fillet flesh layers.

Abstract: An input/output hub includes an inbound ordering queue (IOQ) to receive inbound transactions. All read and write transactions have a transaction completion. Peer-to-peer transactions are not permitted to reach a destination until after all prior writes in the IOQ have been completed. A write in a peer-to-peer transaction does not permit subsequent accesses to proceed until the write is guaranteed to be in an ordered domain of the destination. An IOQ read bypass buffer is provided to receive read transactions pushed from the IOQ to permit posted writes and read/write completions to progress through the IOQ. An outbound ordering queue (OOQ) stores outbound transactions and completions of the inbound transactions. The OOQ also issues write completions for posted writes. An OOQ read bypass buffer is provided to receive read transactions pushed from the OOQ to permit posted writes and read/write completions to progress through the OOQ. An unordered domain within the input/output hub receives the inbound transactions transmitted from the IOQ and receives the outbound transactions transmitted from an unordered protocol.

Abstract: A main frame carries three slides moving in different directions. The first two slides(S1,S2) move along horizontal directions at a right angle to each other and have their own drives(A1,A2) for these movements. The second slide supports a third slide(S3) with its own drive unit(A3) for movement in a third direction so that a molding gripper at one end can move between the open tool halves. A main frame carries three slides moving in different directions. The first two slides(S1,S2) move along horizontal directions at a right angle to each other and have their own drives(A1,A2) for these movements. The second slide supports a third slide(S3) with its own drive unit(A3) for movement in a third direction so that a molding gripper at one end can move between the open tool halves. A further drive(A4) mounted on the second slide produces a swiveling movement of the third slide. Interaction of all four drives(A1-A4) moves the third slide(S3) out of its third, usually vertical movement, into a fourth movement direction. The swiveling movement, which is through 90degrees, occurs around a horizontal axis(30) so that the third slide then moves horizontally(X') and parallel movement(X) of the first slide(S1). For removal of molded parts both first and third drive units are operated simultaneously. An arm(31) on the second slide(A2) carries the swiveling drive(A4) and the third slide is carried by a swiveling arm(32) so that the second(S2) and third(S3) slides are equi-distant from the swiveling axis(30) connecting both arms. Stops support the swiveling arm in its end position. The first slide movement runs transverse to the center line of the injection machine(10) and second slide movement parallel to the same line. The demolding robot lies adjacent to the injection machine. First, second and fourth drives can operate simultaneously durin g movement of the molding gripper in and out of the open tool.
