Abstract: The present invention is a method for archiving data stored in a plurality of linked web pages, including traversing the plurality of web pages by recursively following the links to identify each of the individual web pages to be archived; making a list of web pages to be archived; sequentially retrieving the contents of each web page on the list; forming a digital image of the visible content of each web page; and ultimately creating a visually perceptible archival copy of each web page from the digital image on a durable, human readable medium.

Abstract: A fully automatic stationary wrapping mechanism is utilized in conjunction with an upstream palletizing device and a downstream distribution system. An inbound zone accepts palletized materials and selectively passes them along to a wrap zone. An outbound zone provides a direct link with the wrapping device in any downstream distribution conveyor system. The apparatus provides a relatively short, straight pathway from the point of construction of the loaded pallet through the wrapping station to the outbound conveyor. An improved film gripping device is provided as an elongated arm, extendable from a home position outside the wrapping area to within the wrap zone in order to grip the film, and such that the specific location of the free end of film is not particularly critical.

Abstract: An apparatus, which is utilized to secure loads to a number of pallets emanating from a plurality of sources, provides a relatively short, straight pathway from the point of construction of a loaded pallet to the wrapping station. The device further provides a plurality of stations to permit maximum utilization of a single wrapping apparatus. An improved swing arm is utilized to mount the stretch wrap on the stacked pallet and permits increased efficiency in pre-stretching and wrapping of the stacked loads. The wrapping apparatus is mounted at the end of a series of pallet conveyors. Each pallet transportation conveyor terminates in a wrapping station which is collinear with the other wrapping stations. A support beam extends longitudinally along the line of wrapping stations at a pre-selected height thereabove. A rolling transport is mounted upon wheels and rolls along the length of the beam. The transport contains the operating controls of the device as well as the swing arm which wraps the stacked pallets.
