Abstract:
A disposable packing for flat glass plates can stack the plates for transportation in standard containers. This disposable packing has lateral wooden upstanding posts which rest against the internal walls of the standard container. By using wedges, the upstanding posts are inclined with respect to the internal walls of the container. The angle of inclination between the post and the floor of the container is obtuse. The posts are attached at their base to supporting boards affixed to the floor of the container. The boards have the post affixed to one face while the other face of the boards has a flexible cover. The glass plates are visible at their periphery. The posts have cushioning strips of styropor or plush, for example. A central V-shape space is formed between the packages resting on the post. At least one retaining element can be placed horizontally between the flat glass sheet packages and at least one stopping element can be placed between and in contact with each of the end edges of the packages and the container walls to avoid forward and rearward displacement of the flat glass sheet packages.
Abstract:
One embodiment of an electronics convenience vehicle (ECV) may include a frame, a plurality of wheels configured to support and move the frame, a seat supported by said frame, a steering mechanism disposed toward a front portion of the ECV, a motor configured to cause at least one wheel to be propelled forward, propelled backward, or to remain in a fixed position, a throttle, when activated in a first position, causes said motor to propel said at least one wheel in a forward direction, when activated in a second position, causes said motor to propel said at least one wheel in a reverse direction, at least one sensor directed to detect objects in front of a direction of travel of the ECV, and a control and communications unit (CCU) disposed in front of said seat, and configured to receive said sense signals and to control operations of said motor.
Abstract:
A method of and apparatus for producing magnetic media are disclosed. Magnetic particles in a magnetic layer are oriented under the influence of a magnetic field positioned on one side of the layer and having its lines of flux extending in a direction which is generally perpendicular to the magnetic layer, while the latter is cured by being subjected to electron beams incident on an opposite side of the layer, whereby the particles are fixed in the desired orientation.
