The preferred material handling system further comprises a gate plate is interpositioned between the pair of space apart end plates and reciprocates freely therebetween. The end plates are configured to allow a plug of municipal solid waste to pass therethrough.

Abstract: A pocket for a lacrosse head including a scoop, a throat, first and second sides, a front and a back. The pocket comprises at least one runner having a longitudinal axis a first runner side positioned to face the front, a second runner side positioned to face the back. An opening is positioned between the first and second runner sides wherein the opening spaces the first runner side from the second runner side and is positioned and shaped to restrict movement of a cross member in directions parallel with the axis of the runner, toward the front of the lacrosse head, and toward the back of the lacrosse head. The opening is positioned and shaped to allow movement of the cross member in directions toward the sides of the lacrosse head. At least one tubular member can be positioned between the first and second runners and the cross member can traverse the tubular member.

Abstract: In a process for controlling a tank of an aircraft in flight configuration, provided with at least one filling fitting and at least one purge fitting, a detection gas supply is connected to at least one of the purge or filling fittings. An adaptor for measuring pressure and/or controlling the concentration of detection gas to at least one of the purge fittings is connected when the supply is connected to one of the filling fittings or to one of the filling fittings when the supply is connected to one of the purge fittings. A detection gas under pressure is injected into the tank, and at the periphery of the tank the presence of detection gas from a possible leak is detected.

Abstract: A paper sorting system allows the high speed determination of color, glossiness and the presence of printed matter for individual sheets of paper in a stream of waste paper. Sorting criteria may be selected from a plurality of predefined options to sort the paper stream.

Abstract: A device for the treatment of vertigo or dizziness comprises a fluid-filled tube containing a communicating means such as a bead that passes through the tube. The tube is attached to the user's head so as to allow the user to see the entire tube and communicating means, and the tube is shaped so that the communicating means will only travel through the tube from end to end if the user performs a particle repositioning maneuver.

Abstract: A spring biasing locking mechanism is provided for a step and repeat motor. The motor includes a base having a channel, an output member in the channel, at least one translator drive element and first and second clamping elements. The spring biasing locking mechanism includes a locking structure joined to the base by a hinge. The locking structure spans both clamping elements. A spring biases the locking structure toward the channel so that the spring force is transmitted to the two clamping elements. The spring biased locking mechanism accommodates wear of the device, accommodates thermal expansion of the motor components, provides a limit on clamping force and provides a zero power hold condition.

Abstract: In a system for providing media content to a communication device, a device capabilities determination is made by a rules engine that compares content attributes with constraints on those attributes for a device. Metadata describing the content is derived and entered into a database. As the specifications of different devices are entered into the system, corresponding constraints are associated with the devices that tell the engine the valid range of values for the content attributes. The engine creates an available content library for each class of devices by excluding all instances of content that have attributes outside the range of values prescribed in the constraints. A similar rule set determines whether the content can be distributed through a particular delivery channel, based on the distribution channel capacity to support a media type.

Abstract: A turbogenerator/motor controller with a microprocessor based inverter having multiple modes of operation. To start the turbine, the inverter connects to and supplies fixed current, variable voltage, variable frequency, AC power to the permanent magnet turbogenerator/motor, driving the permanent magnet turbogenerator/motor as a motor to accelerate the gas turbine. During this acceleration, spark and fuel are introduced in the correct sequence, and self-sustaining gas turbine operating conditions are reached. The inverter is then disconnected from the permanent magnet generator/motor, reconfigured to a controlled 60 hertz mode, and then either supplies regulated 60 hertz three phase voltage to a stand alone load or phase locks to the utility, or to other like controllers, to operate as a supplement to the utility. In this mode of operation, the power for the inverter is derived from the permanent magnet generator/motor via high frequency rectifier bridges.
