700243, 700242, 700214, 700225, 414270, 414273, 41433104

Abstract:

A storage system for receiving, delivering and storing items, e. g. mail items, to be distributed. Items are stored in a flexible manner allowing sufficient space to be allocated to each item while ensuring that the total available space is utilised in an optimal manner. Items may be carried on trays. The size of the items is determined in order to allocate the correct amount of space. Items may be repositioned during non-operational periods in order to reduce time consumed during delivery of items from the system. Further, methods for receiving and delivering items to/from the system. A payment system is provided.

12/944092

Inventors:

Brian J. Urban - Hyannis MA, US
Joseph J. Wisniewski - South Plainfield NJ, US
David Simon - Highland Park NJ, US

Assignee:

White Systems, Inc. - Hyannis MA

International Classification:

G06K 15/00

US Classification:

235383, 235379

Abstract:

A mobile retail store structure transportable to a plurality of different locations includes a trailer construction configured both exteriorly and interiorly for housing a plurality of storage bins wherein products and/or parts can be stored. Each trailer is a self-sufficient module which includes doors at one end of the trailer unit for entry and exit thereto, portable stairs for providing access to the entry doors, opposed side doors and associated walkways for allowing coupling to additional similarly constructed trailers, extendable canopies for providing a secure passageway between the respective coupled trailers, and a generator/HVAC system for providing heating, cooling and electrical power to each trailer unit. In one embodiment, a terminal is provided to allow a user to either browse electronically various items for selection and/or sale, or access a self-service check-out station to complete a transaction. A plurality of terminals can be coupled to communicate with a master server terminal over a wired/wireless network.

Filed:

Dec 14, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/561414

Inventors:

David J. Simon - Glen Rock NJ

Assignee:

The Singer Company - Little Falls NJ

International Classification:

G05B 100

US Classification:

340347SY

Abstract:

Multiple input channels, containing servo angle data, undergo analog multiplexing by a single non-linear ladder and switch network which generates a steering voltage on a channel-by-channel basis. The steering voltage undergoes demodulation and digitization for feedback to the multiplexed non-linear network thereby emulating a Type II servo loop. The digitized angle information is also made available as tracking converter outputs.

Filed:

Jun 11, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/158188

Inventors:

David J. Simon - Glen Rock NJ
James J. Duckworth - Rockaway NJ

Assignee:

The Singer Company - Little Falls NJ

International Classification:

H03K 1302

US Classification:

340347SY

Abstract:

A dual speed resolver to digital conversion system with coarse and fine interlocking. The reference frequency is utilized to drive a bang-bang servo loop under priority control of the coarse mathetics when it is necessary to pass control to the coarse loop.

Filed:

Nov 21, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/853341

Inventors:

David J. Simon - Saddle Brook NJ
Edward C. Costello - Scarsdale NY

Assignee:

The Singer Company - Little Falls NJ

International Classification:

H03K 1302

US Classification:

340347SY

Abstract:

In a digital to synchro/resolver converter which has an intrinsic transformation ratio variation with respect to input angle greater than desired in a given application, the intrinsic variation is corrected by applying a correction to the reference voltage used in carrying out the digital to synchro conversion.

Appl. No.:

7/594344

Inventors:

David Simon - East Brunswick NJ

Assignee:

White Storage & Retrieval Systems, Inc. - Kenilworth NJ

International Classification:

A47F 500

US Classification:

211122

Abstract:

A storage, transportation and retrieval system, and accompanying storage racks, are disclosed for increasing the effective storage capacity of the storage racks, providing simultaneous access to two adjacent storage racks, requiring less call-ups to locate desired items. The system is so arranged that it can be implemented to occupy less area. The storage racks are constructed to provide access to its storage area from at least either side of the storage rack. The system is arranged to move the storage racks in a path which may be of virtually any shape. A circular or substantially similar path imparts the advantages of permitting ready access to any two adjacent storage racks.

Filed:

Jun 1, 1976

Appl. No.:

5/691272

Inventors:

David J. Simon - Saddle Brook NJ
Edward C. Costello - Paterson NJ

Assignee:

The Singer Company - Little Falls NJ

International Classification:

H03K 1302

US Classification:

340347SY

Abstract:

A digital to analog resolver converter uses a digital to analog converter to convert a part of the digital input to a corresponding analog angle value. This analog angle value is applied to sine and cosine function generators which use the equations of chords to approximate the value of the sine and cosine functions in one octant. Bits of the digital input are used to select slope values from the chord equations for approximating the sine and cosine of the analog angle value. The digital to analog resolver converter uses the minimum number of precision resistors to generate the sine and cosine slope and intercept values for the equations of a given number of approximating chords.

Appl. No.:

5/959822

Inventors:

James J. Duckworth - Parsippany NJ
David J. Simon - Saddle Brook NJ

Assignee:

The Singer Company - Little Falls NJ

International Classification:

G05B 106

US Classification:

318654

Abstract:

In order to provide high accuracy shaft angle to linear DC voltage conversion using low accuracy devices, a linear synchro is excited by a 2. 5 KHZ square wave which is power buffered, the square wave also used to synchronously demodulate the output of the wound component by sampling and a demodulated voltage then filtered and scaled to the required levels using commonly available operational amplifiers.
