Article rack and dunnage system therefor

A rack for shipping articles such as automobile parts and a modular dunnage system therefor maintains the articles in a fixed, spaced relation. The dunnage pods may be molded to compliment the configuration of the article being shipped, to minimize opportunities for jostling or shifting during transport and maximize storage efficiency. The article rack of the invention is readily adaptable to supporting articles of a specific predetermined configuration in a stable, fixed position, and can be adapted to articles of a different configuration merely by changing the dunnage pods and/or mounting members as required to suit the particular article. In the preferred embodiment the dunnage pods are hingedly mounted to the rack and pivotable between a supporting position and a rest position in which the dunnage pods are retracted toward the side rails of the rack to allow greater clearance for the loading and unloading of articles from the rack. In the supporting position each dunnage pod supports the next higher dunnage pod in the column, thus transferring the weight of the stack of articles to the floor of the rack. A locking system comprises a cam-locked retaining bar which applies a uniform force across the top article in each stack, to retain the columns of pods in the supporting position.

Digital to analog converter with switch function compensation

A digital to analog converter including an R-2R ladder network receives digitally encoded sample signals in parallel through a set of chains of transistor switches, each chain having equal delay. The ladder network output impedance matches the characteristic impedance of a coaxial cable transmission line that couples the converter output to a utilization circuit. Output resistances of the switches which are connected to ladder network rung circuits are scaled in accordance with a predetermined algorithm to maintain symmetry of parallel connected resistive branches of the latter network seen at each rail terminal of the ladder. Three of the most significant bits of each input binary coded work are decoded to a bar code format before being coupled through the set of switch chains. Switch output conductances in the switch chains are scaled in accordance with a stage-to-stage conductance ratio F, and at selected stages of selected ones of the chains dummy-load switches are added to enable both conformance to that ratio and substantial equality of delay among all of the chains.

FAST-OPERATING ANALOG-DIGITAL CONVERTER WITH REDUCED INPUT LOAD

A flash analog-to-digital converter includes 2N comparator circuits for an N bit resolution. Each comparator comprises a summing capacitor which is alternately connected to a reference ladder and to the input signal. The majority of the capacitors are substantially charged and discharged between input potential and reference potential each cycle. The charging/discharging tends to load both the reference ladder and the input signal source. The loading is reduced by including a D.C. biased FET between the input signal source and each summing capacitor. The FET's are biased to condition them to operate as source-followers with the summing capacitors as the load element for at least a portion of the input signal range. Respective ones of the summing capacitors are thereby precluded from charging/discharging over the full input signal excursion which in turn reduces loading on associated circuitry.

Novel substituted imidazolones having herbicidal activity

Precise, high speed CMOS track (sample)/hold circuits

A precise, high speed CMOS track (sample)/hold circuit uses a first circuit leg including four Schottky barrier diodes configured to form a Wheatstone bridge, a second leg with a single n-channel MOS transistor, an essentially constant current source having MOS transistors, a capacitor for holding output signal, and reverse biasing circuitry having MOS transistors for selectively reverse biasing the four diodes. An analog input signal is applied to the cathode of the first diode and to the anode of the second diode. An output signal of the same magnitude and polarity as the input signal is generated at an output terminal (the cathode of the third diode and the anode of the fourth diode) of the circuit when current flows through the first circuit leg. When the current flowing through the first circuit leg is switched to the second circuit leg, the capacitor, which is connected to an output terminal of the circuitry, holds the generated output signal level and the reverse biasing circuitry reverse biases all of the diodes so as to isolate the capacitor from all other components of the circuit.

System and method for remote identification of coded articles and the like

There is described an electronic interrogation and identification (I/I) system in which an interrogator/reader (I/R) unit operates remotely using a microwave beam in conjunction with one or more coded articles. The articles are identified by a unique method and search sequence. As the I/R unit interrogates the articles, one or more of them respond to the I/R unit whenever a code word (data value) sent from the I/R unit matches a code word stored in one or more of the memory positions within the articles. After searching through all of the possible code words and word positions the I/R unit will have identified at least one code word stored in each of the word positions of at least one article. Then combinations of the just-identified code words are matched with the respective stored words of the various articles. After being uniquely identified each article is "powered-down" on command from the I/R unit and remains inactive so that one-by-one all remaining articles are also identified.

Voltage controlled oscillator having equally controlled current source and current sink

The VCO circuit includes means for varying the potential across an inverting stage of a ring oscillator for changing its frequency of oscillation, while maintaining the quiescent point of the stage output centered between the two operating voltages powering the circuit. A current source is connected between the more positive of the two operating voltages and the positive voltage terminal of the stage and a current sink is connected between the more negative of the two operating voltages and the negative voltage terminal of the stage. The current supplied by the current source and the current drawn by the current sink are proportional to an input control voltage and are equal in magnitude. The oscillator stage is biased in the linear portion of its transfer characteristic and provides a conduction path between the current source and the current sink.

Method of making the optically active derivatives of cyclopropancyrboxyle acid

There is described a new process for the preparation of optically active 2-(2',2'-dihalogenovinyl)-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acids substituted in the 3 position, and derivatives thereof. A racemate of certain cyclobutanones is reacted with a sulfurous acid salt of an optically active base to obtain a mixture of diastereomeric 4-(2',2',2'-trihalogenoethyl)-cyclobutane-2-sulfonic acid salts; this mixture is then separated into the pure diastereomeric sulfonic acid salts. Either the pure diastereomeric sulfonic acid salts are converted directly to the desired optically active products, or the optically active cyclobutanones obtained from the pure diastereomeric sulfonic acids salts by decomposition are converted, in the presence of a base, to the desired product. Optionally, the product, optically active 2-(2',2'-dihalogenovinyl)-cyclopropane-2-carboxylic acids can be converted to their 1',2'-dibromo derivatives.
