Abstract: What is described is a configuration for determining the position of a body on an at least largely linear motion coordinate, along which two magnetic configurations are disposed, each equipped with at least one pair of magnetic north and south poles, and disposed between the magnetic configurations is a magnetoresistive angle-sensor configuration, which is set up to measure the direction of a resultant magnetic field spanned by the magnetic configurations and extending between them in a measurement plane relative to a spatial reference direction lying in this measurement plane. The motion coordinate is aligned at least largely at right angles to the measurement plane of the magnetoresistive angle-sensor configuration, and magnetic axes of the two magnetic configurations extend essentially parallel to the measurement plane and projections of these magnetic axes onto the measurement plane are aligned to be offset by predetermined angles relative to one another. At least a first of the magnetic configurations is connected to the body and disposed to be mobile, together with the latter, relative to the magnetoresistive angle-sensor configuration along the motion coordinate.As a result, a configuration for determining the position of a body with the aid of an angle sensor in cases of an at least largely linear motion is created.

Abstract: Presented is an ad-hoc low rate - wireless personal area network
(LR-WPAN) which includes an ad-hoc network coordinator (24) and a
plurality of ad-hoc network devices (14). A low-cost, incremental
source routing is employed to route packets between the network coordinator
and the destination network device. In other words: the address field
(44,54) within a packet increases, for uplink communications (36), or
decreases, for downlink communications (38), hop after hop. The network
coordinator stores complete communication routes for messages from the
coordinator through at least one of the devices to other devices, whereas
the devices only store an identification of another device to forward a
message toward the coordinator. Each network device maintains a routing
table containing connected device information such as the number of hops
to the network coordinator and the link quality history.

Abstract: The cleanout cover system of this invention is operable with a container having a reciprocating slat-type conveyor for supporting and moving particulate material rearwardly at an unloading site. The container has laterally spaced side walls and a front connecting wall, the rear end being operable for unloading. The cleanout system includes a flexible cover sheet spanning the distance between the side walls and an elongated strap connected at one end to the center point of the front end of the cover and at its opposite end to a strap wind-up reel powered by a pneumatic motor. The reel and motor assembly is mounted on the container adjacent the upper end of the front wall of the container centrally between the side walls. A brake system associated with the reel serves to prevent unwinding of the strap when the pneumatic motor is deactivated after the strap is wound fully onto the reel with the cover suspending therefrom and permit unwinding of the strap when pulling tension is applied by the cover during unloading operation of the reciprocating slat-type conveyor of the container.
