  • Publication number: 20200307846
    Abstract: A method of packaging a series of differently shaped objects. The method includes receiving a first object to be packaged and identifying a first length of a stock packaging material suitable for enclosing the first object. The method continues by creating, with a bag making machine, a first bag from the stock packaging material having approximately the first length, which leads to substantially enclosing the first object in the first bag. Then the method continues by receiving a second object to be packaged, the second object having a shape or size different from the first object. A second length of the stock packaging material suitable for enclosing the second object is identified. The method continues by creating, with the bag making machine, a second bag from the stock packaging material having approximately the second length, followed by substantially enclosing the second object in the second bag.

  • Publication number: 20030056036
    Abstract: A USB test device is disclosed comprising an input/output (I/O) subsystem to capture communication between a host and a peripheral device communicating via at least on USB cable. A processor subsystem analyzes the captured communication and determines if a communication failure occurred and if the host or peripheral device caused the communication failure. The tester can also be part of a computer system that comprises at least one universal serial bus (USB), a host computer and a peripheral device. The host computer and the peripheral device communicate over the at least one USB. A test device is connected to the at least one USB to capture USB communications between the host computer and the peripheral device. The test device analyzes a captured communication, determines if a USB communication failure occurred, and determines whether the host computer or the peripheral device caused the USB communication failure. A method for testing communications over a USB is also disclosed.
