Publication number: 20070296600Abstract: An apparatus is provided for detecting the presence of an obstruction with respect to a height-adjustable bed. The apparatus includes sensors coupled to the bed. At least one of the sensors has an output signal which is variable in response to changes in a weight applied to the support surface. The apparatus also includes a controller having inputs configured to receive the output signals from the sensor or sensors. The controller is configured to monitor the output signals, and to provide an indication of the presence of an obstruction with respect to a change in position of the bed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: Steven Dixon, Douglas Menkedick, William Jacques, James Jones, James Findlay, Jack Wilker, Eugene Osborne, Carl Riley

Patent number: 7027886Abstract: Interfaces are provided which integrate mistake-proofing concepts in a way easily understandable by the operator and easily configured by a manufacturing engineer. As mistake-proofing concepts are developed tables are populated and associated with specific assembly processes. Sensors are employed to monitor parts selection and tool usage. Sensors used for tool use and parts selection, error messages and actions to be performed or monitored are all defined and related in the tables and in turn to specific assembly orders. The tables are also populated with logic pointers, which are referenced by a Process Logic Control (PLC) unit that has been programmed to recall and carry out infinitely variable monitoring or control of the assembly process. For example when a particular order has been identified to the PLC by way of a scanned barcode or other means, a bill of material and assembly sequence is provided to the operator by appropriate means such as a CRT monitor.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2005Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Deere & CompanyInventors: Vern Richard Hoppes, Larry Linn Kriener, Matthew Jon Pipho, Joshua Mark Edgin, James Anthony Mitchell, Ibrahim Hussein Shehata, Anthony Nate Rath, Robert Joseph Mills, Michael Eugene Osborn, Mark Douglas Smith, Terry John Phillips, Kevin Dean Bortolazzo, Dave Anthony Sink, Joel Floyd Myers, Kenneth John Kresser, Gary Lee Miner, Lesley Ann McNaught
