Abstract: An apparatus for positioning a feed finger engageable with a saw blade includes: a first motion system configured to move the feed finger in a first degree of freedom; a second motion system configured to move the feed finger in a second degree of freedom different than the first degree of freedom; and a third motion system configured to move the feed finger in a third degree of freedom different than the first and second degrees of freedom. The third degree of freedom includes linear translational motion in a direction having a non-zero component normal to a plane of the saw blade.

Abstract: A water recirculation system for a shower unit comprises a plurality of reservoirs and switching means for selecting from which of the reservoirs the shower unit receives water. A pump recirculates water from a waste trap of the shower unit to the active reservoir. Each reservoir contains a heater. At the user's command, a system of valves is reconfigured so that the shower unit becomes supplied with fresh water circulated from a second reservoir. Meanwhile, the first reservoir is emptied, refilled and reheated to be ready for further use if required. Further pipes may be provided to allow preheating and circulation of the water in the system prior to use of the shower unit; and to allow the system to be flushed with water from a mains supply.

Abstract: Devices, apparatus, methods and processes are adapted and arranged to efficiently produce both hydrogen and oxygen, while at the same time producing electricity. Advantageously, virtually no undesirable by-products are produced, thus yielding environmentally friendly sources of fuels and energy. Through the cyclic use and re-use of acidic compounds, and especially sulfuric acid, water is processed to produce hydrogen, oxygen and electricity. One or more of the hydrogen, oxygen and electrical output of the methods, devices and apparatus of the invention can be stored, or can be used in many ways, for example, in a fuel cell to produce additional electricity or other reaction products.

Abstract: A ghost removing device for a marking apparatus includes a photoreceptor, a primary charging device, an erase light generating device to generate an erase light when activated, a voltage source to supply a charge voltage to the primary charging device, and a controller configured to control the at least one voltage source to supply the charge voltage to the primary charging device and to activate the erase light generating device substantially simultaneously after transfer of a toned image within a marking cycle. A ghost removing method for a marking device with a photoreceptor, including performing a partial print cycle, applying an erase light to the photoreceptor, and applying a charge voltage to the photoreceptor, wherein the erase light and the charge voltage are applied to the photoreceptor substantially simultaneously after completion of the partial cycle.

Abstract: A system for cleaning totes is disclosed in which each tote has a fill opening at its top and a dispensing valve, both of which are open to an interior chamber of the tote. The system includes a conveyor line having a receiving end and a discharge end and which is adapted to transport the totes from the receiving and to the discharge end. At a first station along the conveyor, the tote is initially drained of any remaining fluid within its interior and the tote is then moved to a second station. At the second station, a wash solution is cycled through the tote in order to clean the interior of the tote. The wash solution is recycled and appropriate fillers are used to remove the impurities from the wash solution. The tote then progressively moves through three rinse stations along the conveyor line in which each rinse station includes a lid attachable to the fill opening of the tote and which progressively rinses the interior of the tote.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for enabling a user to determine a desired geographical route between supplied locations. To this end, a means is employed for supplying to a central processor information identifying geographic locations. The central processor, after correlating the identifying information to geographic locations, generates routing directions for travel between the two locations. The routing directions are made available for outputting to the user through a plurality of output devices.
