摘要： A monitoring system signals a low bag supply condition in a bag supply of a self-checkout station before the bag supply is depleted and requires immediate attention to enable use of the self-checkout station. The monitoring system includes a low bag supply sensor that detects the removal a bag from the bagwell of the self-checkout station. A counter then records the detection of a bag removal either by incrementing an accumulated count of removed bags or by decreasing a count of the number of bags in a supply. A signal generator generates a low bag supply signal in response to the count exceeding a low bag supply threshold. The threshold corresponds to the number of remaining bags or the number of bags removed depending upon the direction of the counting. The low bag supply signal may be a visual or audible signal sent to an attendant's station so the attendant may schedule the replenishment of the bag supply at a time when the self-checkout station is not being heavily used. The bag removal sensor may be a scale monitor, a movable arm that engages the bags of the bag supply, or a radiation detector that recognizes fluctuations in radiation levels as bag removals. The monitoring system enables an attendant of multiple self-checkout stations to remain available for customer assistance rather than being diverted by station maintenance.

摘要翻译： 一个监控系统在袋子供应耗尽之前，指示一个自助结账站的袋子供应中的低包装供应状况，并且需要立即注意使能自我检验站的使用。 监控系统包括一个低袋供应传感器，用于检测从自动检测台的袋状空间中取出袋子。 柜台然后通过增加已移除袋子的累积数量或减少供应品中的行李数量来记录袋子移除的检测。 信号发生器响应于超过低的袋供应阈值的计数器产生低的袋供应信号。 阈值对应于剩余袋子的数量或取决于计数方向的袋子数量。 低包装供应信号可以是发送到服务员站的视觉或听觉信号，所以服务员可以在自签结站未被大量使用的时候安排行李供应的补充。 袋去除传感器可以是比例监视器，接合袋供应的袋的可移动臂，或者识别作为袋移除的辐射水平波动的辐射检测器。 监控系统使得多个自助结账站的服务员可以保持可用于客户帮助，而不是通过站维护转移。

摘要： A method and an apparatus for measuring linearity in a reproduction appliance includes an operating carriage bearing a scanning or recording device. The operating carriage is able to be moved in discrete steps in a given direction along a straight line. The operating carriage is successively moved along partial segments of the line. Each of the partial segments is longer than a travel corresponding to one of the steps and is shorter than the entire length of the line. The partial segments each have an exactly defined length defined by an additional carriage moveable along the given direction. The number of steps needed for each partial segment are counted and deviations between values for a travel of the operating carriage resulting from the partial segment and values for the travel of the operating carriage resulting from counting the steps are calculated.

The cable or belt are fastened to the frame. The articulation between the frame and the carriage allows at least one pivoting along a pivoting axis (x) parallel to the plane of said carriage. Advantages: the forces and moments exerted by the cable or belt are not exerted directly onto the carriage. The forces along an axis other than the measuring axis are absorbed by the frame.

摘要： A system and method are provided to measure relatively short distances between one or more moveable objects and with respect to an environment. The transponders may be affixed to other moveable objects and/or may be affixed in position within the environment. The transponders detect the query signal and respond with an acoustic response signal. A synchronized clock system establishes common timing between the transponders and the moveable objects such that the start time at which the acoustic response signal is sent is known. The moveable object detects a receipt time when the acoustic response signal is received. Knowing the start time and the receipt time, a transit time for the acoustic signal can be determined whereby a separation vector may be calculated. The system may be used to determine and transmit a table that contains the relative positions of all moveable objects in the environment.

摘要： A method of locating a fixed terminal of a telecommunication system comprising a constellation of satellites, a plurality of gateway stations and a plurality of fixed terminals includes “coarse”, “intermediate” and “fine” location phases. During the “intermediate” location phase, the terminal calculates at least three hyperboloids and their intersection, assuming a “coarse” estimated position of the terminal is known. Each hyperboloid can be written: Hi,j:dj−di=(tj′−tj).c−(ti′−ti).c where: di is the distance between the terminal and the position pi of the ith active satellite at time ti, dj is the distance between the terminal and the position pj of the jth active satellite at time tj, ti and tj are the ith and jth times of transmission by the ith and jth satellites, respectively, of ith and jth information relating to ti and di and to tj and dj, respectively, ti′ and tj′ are the ith and jth times of reception by the terminal of the ith and jth information, and c is the speed of light.
