Abstract:
A change delivery device in a coin sorting controller, including a change enclosing cylinder, a motion changing mechanism disposed below the change enclosing cylinder for changing a rotational motion into a horizontal reciprocating motion and discharging coins successively by virtue of such reciprocating motion, and a drive unit disposed below the motion changing mechanism for imparting a rotational motion to the latter. It is compact as a whole and ensures a change delivery operation.
Abstract:
A process for producing a foamed synthetic resin body comprising continuously extruding a foamable thermoplastic resin extrudate composition from an extruder die into a reduced pressure zone, subjecting the extrudate to an expansion molding step, a cooling-hardening step and a cutting step while transporting the extrudate through the reduced pressure zone to obtain a foamed piece of predetermined length, shutting off a portion of the reduced pressure zone surrounding the foamed piece from the other portion thereof when the foamed piece has reached a specified position to restore the foamed piece surrounding portion to a normal pressure, subsequently discharging the foamed piece into the atmosphere, and thereafter bringing the surrounding portion into communication with the reduced pressure zone again upon reducing the pressure. Foamed resin bodies of desired expansion ratio and shape can be prepared continuously with high cooling efficiency. An apparatus for practicing the process is also disclosed. Such apparatus includes means to form a continuous length of extrudate within a vacuum chamber and means to cut the extrudate to length and means to pass the cut extrudate into a second chamber, and then to cause the cut length to exit the second chamber without affecting the reduced pressure in the chamber or reduced pressure zone.
Abstract:
Apparatus for automatic feed of change coins in a coin operated machine comprising a storage section for change coins including a cylinder for the change coins, a discharge section for discharging coins stored in the cylinder into a guide section which in turn supplies the coins to a second cylinder in which the coins are stored for distribution as change when instructed by a coin selection control device. Such control device includes a drive motor which operates the discharge section under the control of a switch which is operated when the coins in the second cylinder reach a pre-determined minimum amount.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for wireless data transmission in a multimedia network are disclosed. Disclosed is a network having a source coupled to a sink using a virtual channel that includes a wireless communication channel. A source end of the system provides a packetizing data stream having a stream of payloads such that each payload is associated with its respective originating source stream. The system configured to encode the packetized data stream for wireless transport. A non-wireless source end of the system receives quality of service information from downstream. Thereby enabling adjustments to the source content and packetized data streams.
Abstract:
Various methods, systems, and apparatus for implementing aspects of latency control in display devices are disclosed. According to aspects of the disclosed invention, a source device commands a display device to minimize the delay between the time that image data enters the display device and the time that it is shown on the display device. In one embodiment, the source device transmits data to the display device that specifies whether the display device should time optimize the image data, such as by transmitting a data packet for this purpose either with the image data or on an auxiliary communication link. In another embodiment, the source device and the display device are coupled via an interconnect that comprises multi-stream capabilities, and each stream is associated with a particular degree of latency optimization.
Abstract:
A passive cable adaptor for connecting a data source device with a display device is described. The adaptor has a packet-based interface connector at one end, the connector having a positive main link pin, a negative main link pin, a positive auxiliary channel pin, and a negative auxiliary channel pin. At the other end is a micro serial interface connector, wherein multimedia content is transmitted over the cable adaptor and electrical power is supplied over the cable adaptor simultaneously. The cable adaptor has an auxiliary and hot plug detect (HPD) controller utilized to map the auxiliary channel and HPD signals of the packet-based digital display to the micro serial interface ID signal.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for displaying video data after a hot plug event during a start-up dead period. In particular, approaches for receiving data, determining whether link training can be performed and, if not, self-configuring a receiver to display the information in a proper format even during the dead period.
