Abstract: A radio communication system (100) has an information display interface (201) to provide operator assisted operational control. The information display interface (201) has multiple control sheets (240, 250) each containing an operator configurable category of radio system control information. A particular control panel (263) for controlling a particular portion of the radio communication system is co-located on multiple control sheets (240, 250). One of the control sheets (240) is made active and displayed in a foreground display mode. Operational control of the particular portion of the radio communication system (100) is conducted through the particular control panel (263) on the active control sheet (240).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for stacking newspapers is disclosed which obviates the need to fasten individual stacks. Once ejected from a stacking device, stacks of newspapers pass through an assembly station where they are arranged into groups of three, called slugs, and compressed. The slug then enters a collector where a layer consisting of four slugs is positioned on a sliding table. This positioning requires lateral movement of slugs. Lateral support is provided throughout this movement to prevent the stacks from toppling over. Once a full layer has been accumulated, the sliding table is retracted, and the layer of newspapers falls onto a floating table below. This floating table, which serves as the bottom floor of the container in which it is housed, is automatically lowered by discrete amounts as layers are received. Extendible cylinders located below the collector vertically move the floating table.

Abstract: A dispensing cart for use in supporting food packages in a cooking and thawing oven, and for further use in dispensing the packages to the consumer, includes a main frame on which a plurality of shelves are pivotally mounted for movement between a first horizontal position and a second inclined position which is tilted towards one side of the main frame. In the horizontal position of the shelves, the cart can be inserted in an oven adapted to receive the cart while in the tilted position of the shelves, the cart can be used to display the food packages on the shelves for selection by the consumer. Means are provided for tilting all of the shelves on the cart simultaneously when it is desired to display and distribute the packages on the cart shelves.
