  • Publication number: 20200049833
    Abstract: A method converts a GNSS receiving system having no interference protection into an interference-suppressing CRPA receiving system. To achieve a low-effort conversion, it is proposed that an existing GNSS antenna is replaced with a CRPA antenna having a CRPA interference suppression unit and the CRPA interference suppression unit is connected to a GNSS receiver by a coaxial cable. A control unit is connected to the coaxial cable, the control unit uses the coaxial cable to conduct a bidirectional communication with the CRPA interference suppression unit. A GNSS signal is received using the CRPA antenna and has interference suppressed using the CRPA interference suppression unit, and the interference-suppressed signal is routed to the GNSS receiver by the coaxial cable.

  • Publication number: 20070204567
    Abstract: A cartoning method including the steps of: feeding blanks from a single magazine through a single blank feeder in a first direction; forming an array of at least two blanks from the fed blanks and thereafter transporting the array for forming, loading and closing via respective robot kinetics of at least two axis motion. Carton blanks and cartons travel through a path. Robots below the path transport the cartons. Robots above the path facilitate carton forming, loading and closing. Methods and apparatus are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4783374
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coated article having a substrate with an adherent, abrasion resistant alkene-silane plasma reaction product coating. In a preferred exemplification the coating is substantially transparent to visible light and partially absorbing to ultraviolet light. The coating is a plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition deposited coating.
