摘要： An electronically activated gas cooktop control system, responsive to a touch-sensitive user interface, and capable of providing a predetermined range of cooking and simmer levels of BTU output, has two complementary heating modes of operation A first heating mode of operation is provided to produce a wide selection of simmer levels of BTU output, by electronically sequencing a solenoid-operated modulating gas valve “on” and “off”, at a predetermined level of flame. A second cooking mode of operation is provided by electronically modulating the level of flame, through use of a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) output signal to produce a wide selection of cooking levels of BTU output. An igniter system capable of insuring proper ignition of gas without generating harmful electromagnetic interference is also provided.

摘要： A packaging machine places cartons on an carton conveyor in an inverted-T configuration with the panels of the carton being generally horizontal and the walls of the carton collapsed together in a generally vertical orientation. An overhead assembly has carrier assemblies for picking up the cartons, opening the cartons, and lowering the cartons onto article groups. Each carrier assembly has a pair of opening members with protruding fingers for insertion within cut-outs formed in the cartons. After a carrier assembly has engaged a carton in an inverted-T configuration, one of the opening members in the carrier assembly is moved away from the other opening member, thereby opening the carton. Each carrier assembly has cam followers which travel within three cam plates, one for controlling an orientation of the carrier assembly, one for supporting the carrier assembly, and one for opening and closing the opening members. The overhead assembly is substantially located on only one side of the articles and cartons and thus provides easy access for repairs, maintenance, or removal of article or cartons jams. The packaging machine can package articles of various sizes and configurations into various types of cartons. In general, the packaging machine can package articles into any type of carton having panels opposite each other which may be engaged and lowered onto an article group. The packaging machine can also operate at fairly high speeds since cartons are positively and quickly opened by the movement of the opening members.

摘要翻译： 包装机将纸箱放置在倒T形的纸箱输送机上，纸箱的面板通常是水平的，并且纸箱的壁以大致垂直的方向折叠在一起。 塔顶组件具有用于拾取纸箱，打开纸箱并将纸箱下放到物品组上的托架组件。 每个托架组件具有一对开口构件，其具有突出的指状物，用于插入形成在纸箱中的切口内。 在托架组件已经将倒装T形结构的纸箱接合之后，托架组件中的一个打开构件移动离开另一个打开构件，从而打开纸箱。 每个载体组件具有在三个凸轮板内移动的凸轮随动件，一个用于控制载体组件的取向，一个用于支撑载体组件，一个用于打开和关闭开口构件。 架空组件基本上仅位于物品和纸箱的一侧，因此可以方便地进行修理，维护或取出物品或纸箱卡纸。 包装机可以将各种尺寸和配置的物品包装成各种类型的纸箱。 通常，包装机可以将物品包装成具有彼此相对的板的任何类型的纸箱，其可以被接合和降低到物品组上。 包装机也可以以相当高的速度运行，因为纸箱通过打开构件的运动而被正面快速地打开。
