Abstract: Apparatus for automatically stacking differently sized packs of panels (P), or may be differently sized panels, formed by a dividing apparatus, on respective lifting platforms, in such a logic mode that packs of panels (P) of a same size will be stacked on one and the same lifting platform. The rows (H) of packs of panels (P) moved out of a cutting machine in the dividing apparatus, are shifted in a parallel direction to the final cutting line (Z) in the dividing apparatus. The said rows (H) consisting of a plurality of successive packs of panels (P) having a same length but an even differentiated width, are fed to at least one transport runway (12) arranged at right angles thereto. The single packs of panels (P), or the single panels, composing a panel row (H), are then individually transferred to the said transport runway (12) by suitable means (13, 113) so as to be mutually set in line thereon in the same way. When the packs of panels (P), or the panels, are already disposed in this way, they are simply translated onto the said runway (12), while in the contrary case they are turned, or turned over 90 DEG  around a vertical axis and simultaneously translated, so that these packs of panels will be properly disposed and laid on the transport runway (12). Lifting platforms (T) are provided at one side of the transport runway (12) for packs of panels (P), or may be panels, to be transferred thereto and stacked thereon. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical fiber connector apparatus and method
Inventor: SOULARD ROGER R
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 1991-09-24
Abstract: A connector provides alignment between an electro-optic device and an optical fiber of an optical fiber cable. The connector employs a holding member for removably retaining the working end of the optical fiber and an electro-optic device aligned with each other for communication therebetween. The holding member has a cavity in one side wall in which the device is removably retained, and a channel, from an opposite side wall to the base of the cavity, in which the optical fiber is positioned. The channel is of varying diameter, and includes a cavity facing end having a diameter which is sufficient to accommodate the optical fiber but which is smaller than the outer diameter optical fiber cable. The cavity facing end of the channel ensures alignment of the optical fiber with the device retained in the cavity. A clamp member comprising spreadable prongs secures the optical fiber cable in position in the larger diameter region of the channel of the holding member.  The clamp member and holding member cooperate together to form a single connector unit which is easily accommodated on a circuit board and secureable thereto.

Title: Railway cab signal
Inventor: EHRLICH ANTHONY G
IPC: B61L3/24
Filed: 1993-09-24
Abstract: ABSTRACT        An improved railway cab signal transmitter for transmitting a cab signal onto a pair of rails for reception by a railway vehicle on said rails.  A tuning arrangement is connected across the rails to generally resonate with the leaving end impedance bond at a preselected cab signal frequency.  The cab signal is coded at the preselected frequency such that the resonant circuit acts in conjunction with the code signal generation to act as a constant current signal source feeding the rails.  A reduction in the maximum cab signal rail current is achieved thereby mitigating runby cab signal currents which might be available for reception by following trains.  Embodiments of the tuning arrangement use a capacitor on the primary winding of the feed transformer.  Other embodiments include inductance in series with a capacitor.  Receivers for wayside displays that also use the cab signal current include embodiments having a capacitor or a capacitor/inductor across the wayside receiver transmitter secondary.

Abstract: ABSTRACT An automatic washing machine having an automatic liquid level control system including an ultrasonic transmitting and receiving arrangement. The automatic washer includes a vertical axis tub disposed within a cabinet and further having a rotatable perforate wash basket disposed within the tub for receiving a load of clothes and a quantity of washing liquid. The cabinet includes an openable lid disposed above the tub and the wash basket. A transducer is provided, mounted in the cabinet lid, for operating in a first mode as a transmitter for transmitting a sonic pulse into the wash basket. The transducer operates in a second mode as a receiver for generating an electronic signal responsive to receipt of a sonic echo pulse from the surface of the load of clothes disposed within the wash basket. The height of the load of clothes may then be determined in accordance with the elapsed time between transmission of the sonic pulse and reception of the corresponding sonic echo pulse. The wash basket is controlled to rotate while a plurality of sonic pulses are generated and the corresponding sonic echo pulses are received such that a plurality of clothes load heights values are measured and stored. From the plurality of clothes load height values, an average clothes load height and an average clothes height deviation value may be determined. An optimum quantity of washing liquid may then be determined in response to the calculated average clothes load heights and the average clothes height deviation value.
