  • Publication number: 20160244315
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lockable fuel pump dispenser comprising a fuel outflow nozzle, locking means a transferring unit and a converter unit. The converter unit transferring a mechanical motion rendering a locking unit that is having locking means on the fuel outflow nozzle to fixate the fuel outflow nozzle securely inside a fuel tank of a vehicle. The converter unit comprises a battery, a solenoid or an electrical motor, a computer and a transmitter/receiver unit. The converter unit being able to wirelessly communicate with a unit operated from inside the station. The battery is being charged when the fuel pump handle is placed in the pump station.

  • Publication number: 20150127650
    Abstract: An exemplary method may comprise receiving a matrix for a set of documents, each cell of the matrix including a frequency value indicating a number of instances of a corresponding text segment in a corresponding document, receiving an indication of a relationship between two text segments, each of the two text segments associated with a first column and a second column, respectively, of the matrix, adjusting, for each document, a frequency value of the second column based on the frequency value of the first column, projecting each frequency value into a reference space to generate a set of projection values, identifying a plurality of subsets of the reference space, clustering, for each subset of the plurality of subsets, at least some documents that correspond to projection values, and generating a graph of nodes, each of the nodes identifying one or more of the documents corresponding to each cluster.

  • Patent number: 8630958
    Abstract: A computer system for allocating and routing a plurality of servicing objects within a map of a region such that work load is balanced across the plurality of servicing objects is provided. The system formulates a model for allocating and routing the plurality of servicing objects in the region. The model comprises a distance matrix based upon a first plurality of segments or a second plurality of intersections in the map. The memory stores instructions for partitioning the map into a plurality of disjoint contiguous sub-regions in view of the distance matrix using an equitable convex region partition algorithm. The memory further stores instructions for calculating a corresponding tour graph for each sub-region in the plurality of sub-regions, where, for each respective sub-region in the plurality of sub-regions, a servicing object in the plurality of servicing objects is assigned to the tour graph that corresponds to the respective sub-region.

  • Patent number: 7114246
    Abstract: A component mounting machine is arranged to perform a method for handling boards in a component mounting machine includes the steps of moving a plurality of boards substantially simultaneously from a first plurality of cassettes, arranged in parallel at the machine, onto a board carrier; processing said plurality of boards by mounting components thereon; moving said plurality of boards substantially simultaneously and in parallel from the board carrier into a second plurality of board cassettes arranged in parallel at the machine and moving a next plurality of boards from said first plurality of cassettes onto the board carrier; repeating the steps of processing and moving the plurality of boards until said first plurality of cassettes are empty; and exchanging cassettes and repeating the method from step a.

  • Patent number: 4416121
    Abstract: A heat recovery device comprising a heat pump (1) the vaporizer of which receives heat from the exhaust air (P1) of a building and the condenser (6) of which delivers heat to the water in a container (2) for hot consumption water. A circulation circuit (14,11,12,9) for the recovery of excess heat from the container (2) to the building is arranged in heat transferring contact with the water in a lower part (Z1) of the container (2), the condenser (6) and a supply connection (9) for cold water being likewise situated in the lower part of the container. This arrangement results in separation of the water temperature in the container (2) and increased efficiency of the heat pump (1).
