  • Publication number: 20060175323
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for removably attaching an ISO corner fitting to a composite material shipping container. The apparatus and method of the invention comprises a post that is anchored in the composite material frame of the container. The ISO corner fitting is then attached to the post using a connector assembly that may be engaged and disengaged as needed to attach and detach the ISO corner fitting from the post. The post has a plurality of grooves formed thereon that help hold the post in the composite material of the shipping container. The grooves transfer any tension or compression loads that are applied to the ISO corner fitting directly to the shipping container.

  • Patent number: 4718025
    Abstract: A computer management manufacturing monitoring system for monitors the operation of a manufacturing process. The input section of the system is coupled to a plurality of sensors for monitoring the states of such sensors. A logging program periodically reads the states of various sensors and stores information relating to each such sensor state in a data base. The stored data includes both direct sensor readings and as derived sensor information calculated from readings of the states of certain sensors. The operation of the logging program is predicated on a logging model constructed by an operator. A database storage section stores the information received from the logging program relating to the reading of each sensor state read in a database format. A display generator causes information to be displayed from the database on a display screen.
