摘要:
A mechanism and method for making status reporting devices for container handlers, including: providing a micro-controller module, and installing a program system into memory accessed by a computer directing the micro-controller module. The micro-controller module communicatively couples with means for wirelessly communicating and for sensing a state of the container handler. Means for wirelessly communicating may include means for wirelessly determining container handler location. The micro-controller module may be communicatively coupled to a separate means for determining location. An apparatus making the devices may include a second program system directing the invention's method through a second computer, which may control an assembly device in creating the micro-controller, coupled with the means for sensing and for wirelessly communicating.

An optical characteristic system configured to couple to a container handler for transferring a container to/from a rail car. A server interface configured to receive from at least one container handler. An optical characteristic system configured to couple to a front end loader. A container handler configured to transfer at least one container to/from a rail car and to report its container image, optical characteristic, container code estimate of the container, a rail car identifier estimate and/or a container chassis identifier estimate. A rail kiosk configured to receive the container image, etc from at least one container handler to create the optical characteristic, the container code estimate, manifest for the rail car, confirmation of the manifest and/or an insurance record for the container. A method operating at least one of the server interface, the rail kiosk and a container inventory management system and the products of those operations.

A method for energy storage and recovery for load hoisting equipment driven by a diode controlled DC motor and having an inverter controlling an induction motor which drives a flywheel whereby, utilizing rest power such as reverse power from the DC motor when lowering a load and unused power at small load or idle to accelerate rotation of a flywheel, whereby energy is stored, and the system is reversed when a load is lifted and power is consumed whereby the flywheel causes the induction motor to generate power and deliver it to the DC motor.
摘要:
A method and system for a quay container crane with container code recognition of a container identified by a container code with container positional identification is disclosed. The system and method are capable of performing these tasks without the use of non-standard container tagging.
摘要:
A partition-based high dimensional similarity join method allowing similarity to be efficiently measured by beforehand dynamically selecting space partitioning dimensions and the number of the partitioning dimensions using a dimension selection algorithm. A method of efficiently performing similarity join for high dimensional data during a relatively short period of time without requiring massive storage space. The method includes according to the present invention comprises the steps of partitioning a high dimensional data space and performing joins between predetermined data sets. Dimensions for use in partitioning the high dimensional data space and the number of partitioning dimensions are determined in advance before the space partitioning, and the joins are performed only when respective cells of the data sets are overlapping with each other or are neighboring each other.
