Abstract: Disclosed is a control method of an airbag-type intelligent control device for vortex-induced vibration of bridges. The airbag-type intelligent control device for vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of bridges includes a control system, which comprises a monitoring device and a control workstation; the monitoring device is used to detect the wind speed and direction near the bridge and the vibration state of the bridge; the control workstation is connected to the monitoring device. The VIV order of bridges is determined based on the detected wind speed, wind direction, and the vibration state of the bridge. The airbag system is mounted on both sides of the bridge and connected to the control workstation; according to the obtained VIV order, the sectional shape parameters of the airbag system are determined, and the airbag system is regulated to have the appropriate sectional shape.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a pollutant generation system. The pollutant generation system includes a pollution source and a pollutant emitter. The pollutant emitter is connected to the pollution source. The pollution source is composed of two gases including air and methane. The flows of the gases are strictly controlled. Then, the gases enter a magnetic bead glass bottle. Due to the disturbance of magnetic beads to the flowing of the gases, the gases are sufficiently disordered, and the two gases are sufficiently mixed by using a spiral tube to generate a uniform and stable pollution source.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for palletizing rectangular packages received in random size and weight. A “corner”-based modeling system is used to assist in evaluating possible placements of packages accumulated on a line conveyor, and a placement evaluation process is used to select a “best” package placement based on heuristic analysis. Statistically-based measurement and comparison is used to assist in the evaluation process.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to enhance the overall performance of vibration dampers by adjusting the damping and stiffness in the damper for flexible members (e.g., stay cables, cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, power lines, and signal posts) experiencing excessive fluctuating vibration in any direction is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus comprises a second structural member, first structural member, springs, and one or more magnetorheological (MR) damper. The second structural member anchors the flexible member and transfers vibration energy to the variable damper(s) and first structural member. The springs provide elastic stiffness for the damper. The MR damper(s) allows for the controllably adjustable, absorption and dissipation of vibration energy in the flexible member by adjusting the damping and stiffening in the damper to a level such that the vibration frequency of the first structural member is about the same as that of the flexible member.

Abstract: An efficient package sorting system in which a stationary matrix of multi-directional conveyor cells sorts packages to a plurality of destination locations. In a preferred embodiment, the matrix delivers sorted packages to a plurality of lift assemblies that further transfer the packages to receiving conveyors or chutes on different levels. According to another preferred aspect of the system, a selectively elevating stop bar is provided to control side transfer between conveyor cells. A controller is operative to plan a path for each of the objects from the input cell to a destination location, to monitor availability of successive conveyor cells along the path, and to cause an object to be moved to the next conveyor cell along its path only when the next conveyor cell is available. The system may include a plurality of sensors positioned to sense the passage of objects from one conveyor cell to another, the sensors being connected to the controller.

Abstract: An apparatus for selecting individual packages from an accumulated package line, which measures one common dimension of a plurality of packages, combines the packages together in line contract, establishes an "actual line error" by comparing the actual overall length of the line to a theoretical length, and assigns portions of this actual line error to different packages in the line, depending on their location in the line.

Abstract: A conveyor control system and method for positioning an object at a desired location along a conveyor. The system and method detects objects moving along a conveyor and controls deceleration of the conveyor in order to position the object as desired. The system and method account for varying distances between objects on the conveyor and varying distances between objects and the desired position by calculating a delay period during which the conveyor is allowed to continue to accelerate before it is decelerated. At the end of the deceleration, the object reaches the desired location. The delay period is calculated by comparing the known acceleration and deceleration rates of the conveyor with the measured acceleration time of the conveyor from a starting time to the time the object is detected. The system and method are useful for stopping an object such as a package at the exit end of the conveyor.
