Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel dispensing system comprising a fuel dispenser associated with a control system adapted to detect a drive-off when fuel is delivered and not paid for, and generate a drive-off signal when a drive-off condition is detected. A receiver is associated with the control system and adapted to receive signals including identification indicia from a remote communications unit associated with the customer. A transmitter associated with the control system is adapted to transmit the drive-off signal to the remote communications unit. The drive-off signal is adapted to cause the remote communications unit to take measures to prevent future transactions involving that customer, and, in particular, the remote communications unit.

Abstract: A computer aided designing (CAD) apparatus for generating knitting commands accessible by knitting machines having built-in computers. The knitting commands include forming, transferring and overlapping stitches. The commands are stored on a computer retrievable memory such as a computer disk.

Abstract: A remote control system for remotely controlling a legged moving robot has a robot manipulator operable by an operator seated on a seat assembly thereof for applying an operation command to the legged moving robot, the seat assembly having a seatback or a seat which is tiltable. A robot control unit on the legged moving robot controls the legged moving robot automatically to achieve a target orientation stably depending on the operation command from the robot manipulator. An orientation detector detects an orientation of the legged moving robot, and a tilting mechanism tilts the seatback or the seat depending on a deviation of the orientation of the legged moving robot detected by the orientation detector from the target orientation.
