摘要:
A method of a method of inductively populating a compactable tier set. The method can include obtaining two or more component sequences. The method can also include designating one of the sequences as the primary sort-order sequence the method can also include populating a locations index for one or more component sequences other than the primary sort-order component sequence. The method can also include adding each locations index to a locations index set. The method can also include creating and initializing a primary sort-order item counter. The method can also include creating a compactable tier set. The method can also include creating a generated location n-tuples container. The method can also include determining whether each locations index in the locations index set contains an associated locations list associated with the primary sort-order cursor item. The method can also include generating a smallest primary sort-order location n-tuple when each locations index in the locations index set contains an associated locations list associated with the primary sort-order cursor item. The method can also include determining whether the compactable tier set is empty. The method can also include creating a new compactable tier, adding the smallest primary sort-order location n-tuple to the newly-created compactable tier and adding the newly-created compactable tier to the compactable tier set when the compactable tier set is empty. The method can also include emptying the generated location n-tuples container when the compactable tier set is not empty. The method can also include creating a compactable tier countdown counter and initializing it so that it references the most recently created compactable tier in the compactable tier set. The method can also include creating a compactable tier location n-tuple counter and initializing it so that it references the first location n-tuple in current compactable tier. The method can also include attempting to generate a smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple with respect to the current compactable tier current location n-tuple. The method can also include determining whether a smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple was generated. The method can also include determining whether the generated location n-tuples container contains a location n-tuple that is smaller than or equal to the smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple when a smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple was generated. The method can also include adding the smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple to the generated location n-tuples container when the generated location n-tuples container does not contain a location n-tuple that is smaller than or equal to the smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple. The method can also include determining whether the current compactable tier is the most recently created compactable tier in the compactable tier set. The method can also include creating a new compactable tier, adding the smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple to the newly-created compactable tier and adding the newly-created compactable tier to the compactable tier set when the current compactable tier is the most recently created compactable tier in the compactable tier set. The method can also include attempting to place the smallest unambiguously larger primary sort-order location n-tuple into the compactable tier that was added to the compactable tier set immediately after the current compactable tier when the current compactable tier is not the most recently created compactable tier in the compactable tier set. The method can also include determining whether the current compactable tier current location n-tuple is the last location n-tuple in the current compactable tier. The method can also include adjusting the compactable tier location n-tuple counter so that it references the next location n-tuple in the current compactable tier when the current compactable tier current location n-tuple is not the last location n-tuple in the current compactable tier. The method can also include determining whether the current compactable tier is the first-created compactable tier in the compactable tier set when the current compactable tier current location n-tuple is the last location n-tuple in the current compactable tier. The method can also include adjusting the compactable tier countdown counter so that it references the compactable tier that was added to compactable tier set immediately before the current compactable tier when the current compactable tier is not the first-created compactable tier in the compactable tier set. The method can also include adjusting the compactable tier location n-tuple counter so that it references the first location n-tuple in the compactable tier referenced by the current value of the compactable tier countdown counter. The method can also include determining whether the generated location n-tuples container contains a location n-tuple that is smaller than or equal to the smallest primary sort-order location n-tuple. The method can also include attempting to place the smallest primary sort-order location n-tuple into the first-created compactable tier in the compactable tier set when the generated location n-tuples container does not contain a location n-tuple that is smaller than or equal to the smallest primary sort-order location n-tuple. The method can also include adjusting the primary sort-order item counter.
摘要:
A method of generating one or more primary sort-order location n-tuples and placing one or more of the primary sort-order location n-tuples into one or more tier sets. The method includes obtaining two or more component sequences and selecting one of the component sequences as the primary sort-order component sequence. The method also includes creating one or more tier sets and populating a locations index for at least one component sequence other than the primary sort-order component sequence. The method further includes adding each location index to a location index set and creating a primary sort-order item counter.
摘要:
A method of finding common subsequences in a set of two or more component sequences. The method includes obtaining two or more component sequences and identifying the location(s) of one or more distinct items that occur at least once within each of the two or more component sequences. The method also includes placing the location(s) within each component sequence of each commonly-occurring distinct item in a location n-tuple and storing each location n-tuple in a location n-tuple container. The method further includes sorting the entries in the location n-tuple container and placing each of the location n-tuples in the location n-tuple container into a tier in a tier set. The method additionally includes obtaining any desired information regarding common subsequences.

A system for coating articles by the use of electrostatic attraction of ionized particles which are subsequently cured. The system includes a pair of carriers for jointly carrying each article through the system, from application of the particles to the article through curing of the particles on the article. Each carrier is capable of carrying the article independently of the other. After deposition of the particles on the article, the article and the carriers are conveyed through a cleaning station wherein one of the carriers is moved out of carrying engagement with the article and cleaned while the article supported by the other carrier. The other carrier is then moved out of supporting engagement with the article and cleaned while the article is supported by the first carrier. The system also includes a spray booth for depositing the particles on the article which limits the exposure of the carriers to the spray of particles and includes a removable replaceable insert to eliminate the need for cleaning the spray booth when there is a change in the nature of the particles being used, such as color.
摘要:
An apparatus for and method of coating an article by the use of electro-static attraction of ionized particles which are subsequently cured. The apparatus includes a first foraminous conveyor for carrying the article through a powder coating zone and a second conveyor for carrying the article through a curing zone. The surface of the article which rests on the foraminous conveyor is cleaned of particles as the article is transferred from the first foraminous conveyor to the second conveyor. The first foraminous conveyor is also cleaned of particles after the article has been transferred. After the articles have been cured to form a coating on the article, the article is put through the coating system again except that the article is supported on the conveyor so that the surface which was not coated in the first pass through the system is out of contact with the conveyor. During the subsequent pass of the article through the coating zone, the uncoated surface of the article is then covered with powder which is subsequently cured during the second pass of the article through the curing zone. The second coating step for the article may be accomplished by passing the article through the same apparatus as for the first step or by passing the article through a second identical apparatus.
