Abstract: A vehicle system including a pre-trip inspection algorithm includes a service brake controller for controlling service brakes at a plurality of wheel ends of a vehicle and for monitoring a change of state of the vehicle, a parking brake controller for controlling parking brakes at a plurality of wheel ends and in communication with the service brake controller; and a driver interface unit in communication with the service brake controller for receiving a driver request for an automated pre-trip inspection of a vehicle. In response to the driver request for an automated pre-trip inspection, the service brake controller automatically applies the service brakes and in response to a change of state of the vehicle, the parking brake controller applies the parking brakes automatically.

Abstract: A continuous process and apparatus are disclosed for applying an adhesive coating to one surface and a release coating to an opposite surface of sheets of previously embossed and optionally decoratively printed paper, and for drying the sheets and then stacking them for processing into individual pads of embossed, self-stick, removable sheets of notepaper. Individual sheets of embossed paper are fed onto a conveyor system, and the feed and conveyor speeds are regulated so that the sheets are in slightly overlapping relationship to form an artificial web as the sheets pass continuously through release coating and adhesive coating subassemblies which continuously apply release and adhesive coatings to opposite sides of the web. Conveyor speeds downstream of the coating subassemblies are regulated to separate the web into its individual coated and embossed sheets as they pass through a dryer.
