摘要:
A method for analyzing performance of a manufacturing system includes constructing a descriptive representation of the manufacturing system, selectively binding the descriptive representation to an analytical module using a software isolation layer, invoking the analytical module, and utilizing an output of the analytical module using an end-user application program configured to utilize the output.

An embodiment of this invention is an adjustable wand for a carpet cleaning apparatus wherein the upper tube telescopes within a lower tube and allows lengthening of the wand. The lower nozzle is adjustable in that it allows rotation about the wand axis and allows removal of the nozzle. The preferred means for adjustment is a cam lock mechanism that tightens an adjustment clamp around the wand upper tube or nozzle neck.

A carpet yarn containing continuous synthetic filaments having a four sided cross-sectional contour and four substantially equispaced continuous voids are disclosed. The voids have a substantially round or nonround shape, and each void is substantially centered on a side of the filament's contour.

A system, method, and apparatus are disclosed for managing utility consumption. An embodiment is disclosed for reducing peak demand for a utility by staggering requests for that utility. Another embodiment is disclosed in which sensors monitor utility consumption throughout a facility. Those items of equipment not in active use, but still drawing utility resources, are shut down after a predetermined interval. Another embodiment is disclosed in which storage and conversion technologies are used to offset peak demand and the associated peak demand costs.
摘要:
A system for bonding alternate S and Z twist plied yarn. The system bonds the plied yarns as they move in a path through the process and permits balanced expansion of the yarn while preventing lateral movement out of the path. The bonding of the yarn strands while plied together, forms a bond characterized by a dense region of filaments adhesively joined together where one of the strands overlaps another strand, followed by a less dense region along the one strand where fewer filaments are adhesively joined, followed by another dense region.

The invention is a lifting or elevator device to lift one end of a package or load for insertion of a pull-tab slipsheet thereunder. It comprises a tiltable elevator having a load supporting cross bar raised and lowered by jacks located at each end. The jacks are rigidly mounted to each other. Both are mounted to a base member so that they can be tilted forward to move the cross bar beneath the pull tab and out of interfering position with a load handling push/pull lift truck.

A software tool for manufacturing system performance analysis includes modeling and analysis functions. A modeling isolation layer provides user access to the analysis capabilities through object-based model building and analysis invocations. Various model, performance and higher level analyses are performed through analysis modules kept separate from any end-user application programs by the modeling isolation layer.

A power-actuated closure system is disclosed. The system includes a power-actuated closure panel having a leading edge. One or more non-contact optical sensing system(s) is/are affixed to the power-actuated closure panel. The sensing system is adapted to detect the presence of an obstruction in proximity to and in advance of the leading edge of the closure panel. The system also includes a control system that selectively controls the motion of the closure panel in response to signals received from the sensing system.
