Title: A method and apparatus for positioning at least one thread, band or the like in a pre-determined pattern on a material web
Inventor: PERSSON LENNART
IPC: B65H57/28
Filed: 1989-07-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for positioning at least one thread, band or like element (8) in a pre-determined pattern above a conveyer path (1) with the aid of thread outfeed device (3) having at least one thread outlet device (5). In accordance with the invention, the thread outlet, or each thread outlet, is moved in a simple or a composite rotational path in a plane parallel with the conveyer path, and the path is moved linearly in relation to the rotational axis of the thread outlet. This will cause the thread outlet to move in a spiral-like movement path relative to the conveyer path. The conveyer path has mounted thereon dogging elements (2) which are located within the spiral-like movement path of the thread outlet, such as to enable the thread to be laid out in a pattern determined by the dogging elements. The invention also relates to apparatus for carrying out the method.

Title: Chain conveyor
Inventor: HALDIMANN HANS-RUDOLF
IPC: B65G1/06
Filed: 1997-10-10
Abstract: A chain conveyor comprises a roller chain (6) [should read "8"] and a supporting rail (5) for vertically supporting the roller chain (6) [should read "8"]. The roller chain (6) [should read "8"] consists of a plurality of supporting rollers (3) that are interconnected by means of chain links (1). The chain links are of U-shaped design inasmuch as they comprise two legs (11, 12) and a base portion (10) located there between. The mean length (L) of the base portion (10) corresponds at least approximately to the distance (A) of the axes of two adjacent supporting rollers (3). The front faces of adjacent base portions of adjacent chain links are correspondingly designed and act as stops, inasmuch as they limit the mutual rotating movement of adjacent chain links, exceeding a predetermined angle, in such a way that the roller chain can transmit thrust forces. For laterally guiding the roller chain, discrete guiding elements (2) are provided which are inserted into the shafts that interconnect the chain links in an articulated manner.

Title: Improved method and apparatus for customer account servicing
Inventor: SZLAM ALEKSANDER
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 1989-12-20
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for retrofitting and extending or upgrading an existing customer account servicing system to provide for automated handling and processing of both incoming and outgoing calls. A mainframe computer or host (16) contains customer or potential customer account records. A plurality of operator terminals (12) allow the operators to converse with the called or calling party and make changes to the customer account information via a data terminal (12a4). A system controller (11), trunk interface unit (10), operator terminals (12) and cross-point switch or PBX (13) provide a retrofit to an existing system, a mainframe computer (16), to provide for automated handling and processing of both incoming and outgoing calls. The system controller (11) and terminals (12) use the same command and data format structure as that already in use by the existing system and software or programs of mainframe (16). The system controller (11) is transparent to the operation of the mainframe (16) and the operator terminsla (12) and allows the system to be upgraded without the necessity of purchasing different software or programs for the mainframe (16). This invention is useful with both new and previously existing operator terminals (12). The system controller (11) monitors and handles both incoming and outgoing calls via the trunk interface units (10) and, when appropriate, causes the cross-point switch or PBX (13) to connect a selected trunk line (T) with an appropriate available operator terminal (12) and causes the customer account record to be displayed on the screen of the operator terminal.

Title: High-speed electrolysis cell for processing strip-shaped material
Inventor: BECHEM WERNER
IPC: C25D5/08
Filed: 1986-03-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a vertical electroplating cell for processing metal strips in which the strip to be processed running from an upper conductor roll is led to a lower deflecting immersion roll and from there to a further upper conductor roll, the respective descending and ascending strip portion to be processed being subjected in a canal between vertically disposed anodes to the electrolyte flow conducted in circulation at high speed against strip running direction. In such a electroplating cell the circulation of large electrolyte amounts using the minimum possible pump energy is achieved in that the electrolyte flow directed in each case in the canals (6, 7) between the anode rows (5, 7) against the strip running direction are generated via liquid jet pumps disposed on outer canals between rear sides of anode rows and housing walls.

Title: Coin testing
Inventor: DORT KLAAS PIETER VAN
IPC: G07D5/02
Filed: 1980-03-27
Abstract: A coin testing apparatus (10) comprises a coin passageway, a coin track (13) along which coins pass on their edges through the coin passageway and an inductor (16) adjacent the coin passageway. The inductor is connected in an oscillating circuit (40) so that the inductor (16) produces an oscillating magnetic field in the coin passageway. The frequency of the oscillating circuit is measured using a counter (41). A number representative of the idle frequency is stored in register (44). When a coin passes the inductor (16), the apparatus (10) detects whether the resulting frequency shift corresponds to the shift for an acceptable coin by comparing the difference between the number stored in register (44) and the number stored in counter (41) with a number previously stored in memory (48). The inductor (16) is oblong and has its major axis perpendicular to the track so that the arrangement is sensitive to variations in diameter over a large range of diameters.

Abstract: An upstream weigh bridge WB2 is provided and is mechanically separated from a downstream weigh bridge WB3, with a loading chute 18 overlying one of the weigh bridges for dispensing material to the freight cars 10, 12, 14. The upstream weigh bridge WB2 has a length that is less than the distance between the rear axle of one car 12 to be loaded and the front axle of the succeeding car 14. The position of the freight car under consideration is sensed and the chute 18 is opened to load the freight car. The full draft weight of the freight car during loading is detected, taking the weight on the upstream weigh bridge into consideration. The chute is closed when the weight reaches a predetermined amount. The weight of the loaded freight car is determined after the freight car has left the upstream weigh bridge and only the weight on the downstream weigh bridge is taken into consideration. The downstream weigh bridge WB3 may comprise a plurality of mechanically separated weigh bridge sections, operable for full draft weighing of different size freight cars during loading.
Patent AU-5870890-A (AU)
Title: Data and forward error control coding techniques for digital signals
Inventor: MCMAHON DONALD H
IPC: H03M13/00
Filed: 1990-07-04
Abstract: An encoder encodes a plurality of bit sequences of a digital signal into data codewords having improved signal characteristics, i.e., limited maximum run lengths and limited cumulative DC-offsets. Then, the encoder performs error protection encoding on the data codewords using a forward error correction ("FEC") code to form an FEC code block from a number of the data codewords. Preferably, the FEC code block is formed by generating a number of check or FEC bits equal to the number of data codewords in the block, and then concatenating one FEC bit and its binary complement with each data codeword so that one FEC bit and its complement are interposed between each successive codeword. In a preferred embodiment, a 96-bit FEC code block is formed from eight 10-bit data oodewords (formed by an 8b/10b data encoder), eight FEC bits, and eight FEC complement bits. In another preferred embodiment, each 16-bit input sequence (DATA 0, DATA 1) is encoded into a 20-bit data codeword pair made up of a 9-bit codeword and an 11-bit codeword. An implementation of this embodiment uses a precoder and 8b/9b and 10b/11b sub-encoders, which collectively perform 16b/20b encoding. Then, an 8-bit FEC word is generated from an 80-bit block consisting of four of the 20-bit codeword pairs. One FEC bit and its binary complement are concatenated to each 9-bit and 11-bit data codeword, resulting in a 96-bit FEC block. Preferably, the data codewords in the FEC blocks are 3/4/3 codewords. Also, the complementary FEC bit pairs can be used at the receiver to obtain proper framing of the FEC code block prior to decoding.
