  • Patent number: 5918171
    Abstract: A radio communication system for processing information signals received from telephone trunk lines for transmission over a plurality of RF subscriber channels. The system includes a network interface exchange for sampling the received information signals and for sequentially combining the resulting sampled information signals into a multiplexed transmit channel bit stream, each of the sampled information signals occupying a repetitive slot position in the multiplexed transmit channel bit steam. The network interface exchange further includes a processor for assigning a first of the sampled information signals from one of the trunk lines to the repetitive slot position corresponding to a first of the RF subscriber channels associated with a call request signal received over the one trunk line. A transmitter is provided for transmitting a forward interface signal over a network interface channel in response to the multiplexed channel bit stream.

  • Patent number: 5845201
    Abstract: A radio communication system for processing information signals received from telephone trunk lines for transmission over a plurality of RF subscriber channels is disclosed. The system includes a network interface exchange for sampling the received information signals and sequentially combining the resultant plurality of sampled information signals into one or more multiplexed transmit channel bit streams. The network interface exchange includes a processor for assigning a first of the sampled information signals from one of the trunk lines to an available repetitive slot position of a first of the transmit channel bit streams provided to a first destination node associated with the first of the sampled information signals, the first destination node being determined in accordance with subscriber unit identification information received over the trunk line.

  • Patent number: 5412844
    Abstract: A sawless lint cleaner receives the cotton as doffed from the gin stand in an airstream. The lint is deflected toward spiked cylindrical rollers of a cleaner and wiped across a grating at a speed about equal to the airspeed. The grating is in cylindrical segments as close to the spikes as tolerance will permit. The grating is composed of parallel bars approximately 5 mm thick spaced 13 mm apart and angled about 15.degree. from the radial line of the shaft of the spiked cylinder. Trash passes through the grating. The lint is reunited with the air at the end of the cleaner and conveyed to a condenser. The condenser separates the air and forms the lint into a batt for further cleaning by a typical saw lint cleaner.

  • Patent number: 5392495
    Abstract: Seed cotton is cleaned in a cotton gin by wiping it over grid bars having a large gap between them. In this manner more cotton per hour may be cleaned. Excessive seed cotton falling through the grid bars with the trash is reclaimed by saw cylinder reclaimers. The cotton with the least amount of trash has the trash from a preliminary reclaimer going to the saw cylinder receiving cotton with more trash. The seed cotton which has been reclaimed may be further cleaned by wiping it across a grid bar and thereafter reclaiming any cotton which might go through the grid bars of the reclamation wiper cleaner. By-passes are provided to by-pass the cleaner cotton that passes through grid bars into the main stream of cleaned cotton. Also, the cotton which is first reclaimed can be passed into the stream of clean cotton without further cleaning.

  • Patent number: 4654933
    Abstract: A cotton gin lint cleaner includes a rotating saw cylinder. A continuous layer of lint cotton is fed along the cylinder by feed works. The layer is seated in and moved downstream by saw teeth on the cylinder. Foreign matter is loosened from the layer as it is moved beneath grid bars spaced along the cylinder surface. A combing bar downstream of the grid bars with teeth opposed and proximate the saw teeth further cleans the cotton layer.
