    摘要: The field of the present invention relates, in general, to apparatus and methods of knitting a material into a tubular form, where the length of such tubular form is not dictated by conventional distances between the knitting areas and the catch basins of integrated machines. In short, this invention increases the distal relationship between the needle-equipped element, which performs the knitting function, and the basin that catches the resulting tubular form of the material. The basin rotates synchronized with the rotation of the resulting tubular form. The separation facilitates the continuous production of a length of the resulting tubular form of the material. The tubular form thus can be longer than such length where, as taught in the prior art, the catch basin is fixed—as part of integrated machines—in close proximity with the element that performs the knitting. As an inventive method, the steps include (A) feeding such material into the proximity of a needle-equipped element; (B) knitting such material with such needle-equipped element to produce such resulting tubular form; (C) catching such resulting tubular form in a basin that is physically disconnected from the needle-equipped element and distanced therefrom to produce a desirably longer length of the resulting tubular form; and (D) electronically controlling such feeding step, such knitting step, and such catching step (synchronizing the catching with the rotation of resulting tubular form), whereby the rates of the feeding, knitting and catching produce such resulting tubular form that is unbuckled.

    摘要: This invention is an apparatus that can be intermittently bottom moored and moved with buoyancy as it uses its sensors to collect data in deep ocean water. In one embodiment of the invention, the apparatus includes one or more floats, buoyancy engines, payload sensors, depth sensors and electronics. The electronics provide the power and, among other things, control the transmission of data from and the reception of information by the apparatus. An anchor is used to moor the apparatus at desired locations. When not moored, the apparatus drifts with the currents at the depth at which the apparatus is then positioned, with the movement being directed by current flow of the water. The movement of the apparatus is guided with knowledge of the currents and tides (it is not random).

    摘要: Described is a system and method through which (a) information related to detected moving objects can be received, processed and confirmed, (b) such information can be evaluated—with the information from differing receiving, processing and confirming sources being aggregated and integrated, thereby increasing the overall efficiency and accuracy of the system and method, and with the elements of the system and the practice of the method resulting in the sharing of such information with such elements controlling various aspects of their own operation—to assess the possible impacts of the presence and/or operation of such detected moving objects within a specific environment, and as a result of such evaluation (c) actions can be initiated based upon (x) the identification of the detected moving object and (y) the possible impacts thereof within such specific environment.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to a system and a method for distributing materials in confined spaces, such as, for example, feeding animals in captivity. The system can be used to for example, animals through the operation of a cable mounted transport mechanism that carries storage container for food, a dispenser, and sensors that assist in the movement of the transport mechanism and the dispensing of food by the dispenser. Disclosed also is a method including the steps of (A) receiving, in a cable mounted transport mechanism, information regarding the timing for dispensing, (B) accessing information about the position(s) from which food should be dispensed, (C) sensing and monitoring the amount of food in the food storage container attached to the transport mechanism, (D) moving the cable mounted transport mechanism to the position(s) prescribed by the information accessed, and (E) dispensing food from the food storage container at the desired position(s) based upon the information regarding the timing for dispensing, the position(s) for dispensing and amount of food then in the food storage container.
