International Classification:

B66F 11/04

US Classification:

182 19, 182 631, 700282

Abstract:

A control system optimized for low-power operation includes an electronic valve controller for controlling a hydraulic valve and a control interface for receiving operating commands from a user and communicating the operating commands to the electronic valve controller. The control interface includes a multi-function single hand control with a plurality of position indicating elements for detecting actuation of the single hand control, a master enable associated with all of the position indicating elements, and a plurality of individual enable elements each associated with one of the position indicating elements. A controller directs operation of the control interface and is configured to sample a position indicating element only if the master enable is asserted and the corresponding individual enable element is asserted. Other aspects of the control system minimize power consumption, including fast sampling that allows the controller to spend more time in a low power mode.

US Classification:

40633

Abstract:

A wristband business form comprising a non-woven fabric wristband as part of a laser printer processible form. The form has several embodiments including a wristband die cut into a web of non-woven fabric, with the fabric web adhered to a carrier web, or a pre-cut fabric wristband releasably adhered to a carrier web. The fabric wristband may be releasably adhered in any one of several ways including with a plurality of dots of adhesive, a dry release adhesive or a layer of a light tack adhesive. A layer of solvent or acrylic resin or the like may be applied to the fabric wristband to enhance the ability of a laser printer to apply an image, although that is considered as an optional feature.

Assignee:

LASER BAND, LLC - Saint Louis MO

International Classification:

A44C 5/00

US Classification:

40633

Abstract:

A printer processible wristband has a cinch slot at one end and an imaging area at another, connected with a strap therebetween. The imaging area is shaped like a shovel and the cinch slot is shaped like a “D” and sized so that the imaging area interference fits through the cinch slot to thereby join the wristband about the wrist. The imaging area may have one of its ends adhered to the strap to clamp it in place and further secure the wristband or it may be left loose to act as a hang tag. Alternate embodiments are disclosed including providing a self adhering label to attach to the imaging area, providing a layer of laminate to laminate the printed information or label, providing a second imaging area along with a second strap, and providing a snap closure to further attach the wristband.
