摘要： An automated transportation (10) system includes a plurality of vehicles (22) adapted to travel along a pathway, and a monitoring system (70) located within each vehicle and adapted to monitor a location and a speed between an associated vehicle and the pathway. The automated transportation system (10) also includes a transmitter (72) located within each vehicle (22) and adapted to transmit a signal that includes data on the location and the speed monitored, and a receiver (76) located within each vehicle and adapted to receive the signal from each of the other vehicles. The automated transportation system (10) further includes a controller (78) located within each vehicle and adapted to interpret the signal received by the receiver and control the associated vehicle to provide proper spacing between the remaining vehicles to avoid collisions therebetween and maximize throughput of the vehicles along the pathway.

摘要： An integral fastener (30) particularly for use in mounting a sheet (22) material to a structural member (12) with a plurality of threaded studs (14). The integral fastener (30) in one embodiment is connected to the sheet (22) by a web (34) adjacent an aperture in the sheet (22). The fastener (32) has an opening that defines multiple flaps. To fasten the sheet material to the stud (14), the stud (14) is inserted through the sheet aperture and the fastener (32) is pressed on the stud (14) so that it extends through the fastener (32) opening, deflecting the flaps, which engage the threads of the stud (14). In another embodiment, the fastener is formed within the sheet and defines an opening through which the stud (14) passes. In a third embodiment, the stud (14) comprises a T-shaped flange and the fastener (32) has a slotted opening at an acute angle to the plane of the T-shaped flange to retain the fastener (32) on the T-shaped flange.

摘要： An individual transportation system (10) includes a track system (12), including a primary track section (14), a switching track section (16) and loading/unloading section (18). The transportation system (10) additionally includes a plurality of carriages (20) supported by the track system (12), and a plurality of underslung passenger vehicles (22) each matably engageable with one of the carriages, and adapted to hold at least one passenger therein. The transportation system (10) further includes a storage facility (24) for storing the vehicles (22) when they are disengaged from the carriage, whereby a carriage and vehicle combination traveling on the primary track can be switched between primary track section (14) via an associated switching track section (16), and can be switched to the loading/unloading track (18), wherein the vehicle may be disengaged from carriage (20) and stored in the storage facility (24).
