A process is provided for generating a flow chart representing a control program defined by associative relationships between program levels, states and conditions, each condition specifying a transition from an associated one of the states as a source state to a corresponding selected destination state upon satisfaction of the condition during execution of the control program by the logic control unit. Each program level defines a sub-process of the control program. The process includes the steps of rendering on a chart: a first group of state indicators each representing a corresponding one of a first plurality of the states, and including an associated first state anchor point; a first group of condition indicators each being associated with a corresponding one of the first group of state indicators, each of the first group of condition indicators indicating a corresponding one of a first plurality of the conditions, and including an associated first condition anchor point; a second group of state indicators each indicating a corresponding one of a second plurality of the states, and including an associated second state anchor point; a second group of condition indicators each being associated with a corresponding one of the second group of state indicators, each of the second group of condition indicators indicating a corresponding one of a second plurality of the conditions, and including an associated second condition anchor point; and for each of the conditions, a corresponding transition indicator indicative of transition information specified by the condition.

The invention provides a battery cooling system to cool an electric vehicle battery pack and extend the operating range of an automotive heat pump system. Waste heat from the battery pack is transferred to a secondary coolant system thereby cooling the battery pack. A secondary heat exchanger is coupled between the secondary cooling system and a reversible HVAC system. The secondary heat exchanger transfers the secondary coolant system heat energy to the reversible HVAC system. The heat energy transferred to the reversible HVAC system supplements the existing stored energy thereby extending the heating mode operating range of the HVAC system. The requirement for supplemental electric heating is reduced, further increasing the electric vehicle energy efficiency.

The disclosure relates to a swimming pool drain chamber which is positioned over an outlet of a swimming pool. The chamber includes sealing means for effecting a liquid seal adjacent the outlet. An upper portion of the chamber extends above the normal water surface of the swimming pool. The water in a line connected to the outlet can be removed without lowering the water level in the entire pool to an elevation below the outlet. In a preferred embodiment, the chamber extends below the outlet to facilitate draining the line completely and also to keep small amounts of water entering the chamber out of this line.

An automated banking machine operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The automated banking machine includes a card reader operative to read card data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts. The automated banking machine also includes a display and a printer to produce records of financial transactions carried out with the machine. The machine is operative to cause a computer determination to be made that the card data corresponds to an authorized machine user. The automated banking machine may also include a storage device that is operative to unlock a secured area including information thereon that is used by the automated banking machine to carry out financial transfers.

A specially shaped laser pulse energy profile characterized by different laser wavelengths at different times of the profile provides reduced, controlled jitter to enable semiconductor device micromachining that achieves high quality processing and a smaller possible spot size.
摘要:
A laser pulse with a specially tailored temporal power profile, instead of a conventional temporal shape or substantially square shape, severs an IC link. The specially tailored laser pulse preferably has either an overshoot at the beginning of the laser pulse or a spike peak within the duration of the laser pulse. The timing of the spike peak is preferably set ahead of the time when the link is mostly removed. A specially tailored laser pulse power profile allows the use of a wider laser pulse energy range and shorter laser wavelengths, such as the green and UV, to sever the links without appreciable damage to the substrate and passivation structure material located on either side of and underlying the links.

An apparatus and a method for determining wear of a feedscrew and barrel combination includes a measuring aperture formed in a wall of the barrel, a gage plug releasably retained in the measuring aperture and having an inner end curved to correspond to a curvature of a surface of the central bore surrounding an inner end of the measuring aperture, and a retaining plug releasably retained in the measuring aperture for maintaining the gage plug in place. When the plugs are removed, the gage plug can be measured for barrel wear and a probe can be inserted into the measuring aperture for determining feedscrew wear. A test bar simulating feedscrew wear is used to calibrate the probe.

The present invention provides a checkout system which comprises an item accumulation (bagging) area which is partitioned into two or more sections using a flexible divider. The flexible divider extends from the entry zone of the accumulation area to a point on the boundary of the accumulation zone, but is longer than required to achieve this. When items are introduced into one section of the bagging area, if the items push against the flexible divider, for example due to weight of numbers, the divider flexes into the other section thereby making more space available in the current section for the items. Optionally the flexible divider is movable between two positions in the entry zone such that it further acts as a diverter for diverting items into one or other of the two sections and preferably a motor is used to automatically perform the movement.

A dunnage removal apparatus is situated adjacent a load conveyor and more particularly at a transfer device that moves a unitized load from the load conveyor to a pre-feeder. The dunnage removal apparatus includes a guide chute that funnels a loose flap of the dunnage sheet toward a sheet stripper mechanism. The mechanism includes a motor driven drive roller and a pair of pinch rollers that pinch the flap and pull the dunnage sheet from beneath the load. The pinch rollers are supported for movement relative to the drive roller to accept dunnage sheet(s) of variable thicknesses. A backstop plate is provided that moves with the pinch rollers. The load bears against the backstop plate as the dunnage sheet(s) is removed.
