Abstract: A system for packing items into cases includes a computer system for receiving information regarding items to be packed into a case, the computer system configured to determine a needed case size for loading based upon physical information regarding the items to be packed. A case handling machine includes multiple components that are position-adjustable according to case size to be held, formed and sealed, the case handling machine including a control system including a memory storing a plurality of machine set ups, wherein each machine set up includes data corresponding to positions for the multiple components. The computer system is configured to communicate needed case size information to the case handling machine, wherein the control system of the case handling machine is configured to implement component position adjustment based upon the needed case size information.

Abstract: A semi-automatic case handling machine includes a case holding and forming section with laterally movable spaced apart walls, bottom major flap kickers movable with the walls, and a bottom minor flap kicker movable axially. A case sealing section of the machine includes a bottom taper for taping bottom major flaps, an upper taper for taping upper major flaps, the upper taper movable vertically, and a pair of spaced apart conveyors for moving cases past the bottom taper and the upper taper for taping, wherein the spaced apart conveyors are movable laterally. An adjustment system includes a memory storing a plurality of machine set ups, wherein each machine set up includes data corresponding to (i) lateral positions for the spaced apart walls, the spaced apart bottom major flap kickers and the spaced apart conveyors, (ii) axial position for the bottom minor flap kicker and (iii) vertical position for the upper taper.

Abstract: A case sealing apparatus includes a frame structure including a case conveyance path extending from a case infeed station to a case outfeed station. First and second side conveying units extend between the infeed station and the outfeed station. The first and second side conveying units are moveable toward and away from the conveyance path for engaging opposite sides of cases to move cases of various widths from the infeed station toward the outfeed station. A lower tape head assembly is positioned along the conveyance path to apply tape to case bottoms. The lower tape head assembly is movable between a lowered position for taping and a raised position for changing tape. An upper tape head assembly is positioned along the conveyance path to apply tape to case tops. The upper tape head assembly is vertically movable to accommodate cases of various heights. A control system controls movement of the first and second side conveying unit, the upper tape head assembly and the lower tape head assembly.

Abstract: The present invention related to a medical apparatus capable of recording physiological signals, which uses a EEG detecting circuit to detect the human brain and produce a EEG signal, a ECG detecting circuit to detect the human heart and produce a ECG signal, a microcontroller circuit to receive the EEG and ECG signals and produce a control signal, and a storage unit to receive the control signal and store the EEG and ECG signals. The EEG and ECG signals are correlated. Accordingly, physicians can analyze diseases conveniently.

Abstract: A human-transporting vehicle has a chamber, a gas collector, a detection circuit and a determination circuit for improving driving safety. The gas collector collects a gas sampling and the determination circuit determines whether a concentration of a certain composition in the gas sampling exceeds a predetermined value. If the determination result is positive, the determination circuit disables the vehicle so that the vehicle cannot start. An audio device and a display are utilized for providing the driver with information to know whether it is safe to drive the vehicle.
