The present invention relates to kit for a trash container utilizing injection molded plastic panels capable of being packaged and shipped in a knocked-down state and constructed into a secure container.

The present invention provides an assembly, or kit, of injection molded components having integrated connectors which combine to form a storage container having a plurality of snap-in spherical roller assemblies and a cooperating lid member. The storage container components are formed of injection molded plastic and include integrally formed connectors to interlock with one another without the need for separate fasteners. The integrated assembly of the bottom storage container panel and the spherical roller assemblies simplifies storage container construction and minimizes the number of components required to complete the assembly.

The present invention provides a method and system for online health condition monitoring of rotary machinery such as printing presses. The rotary machines have one or more stages and each stage has one or more rotary components. The method comprises the steps of: receiving one or more signals from sensors at each of the rotary units or bearing housings; generating an error matrix and diagnosing rotation synchronization errors among the different stages; generating error matrices using different signal processing techniques and diagnosing the health conditions of rotary components such as gears, bearings and shafts; and identifying the stages and rotary components having imperfections by comparing the current error matrices to stored reference error matrices. The present invention can also be used in other applications involving rotational components such as automobiles, airplanes, and power turbines to name a few.

A passive vehicle acoustic data analyzer system having at least one microphone disposed in the acoustic field of a moving vehicle and a computer in electronic communication the microphone(s). The computer detects and measures the frequency shift in the acoustic signature emitted by the vehicle as it approaches and passes the microphone(s). The acoustic signature of a truck driving by a microphone can provide enough information to estimate the truck speed in miles-per-hour (mph), engine speed in rotations-per-minute (RPM), turbocharger speed in RPM, and vehicle weight.

The present invention provides a system of injection molded panels having integrated connectors which combine to form a low profile enclosure having a telescoping roof. The panels are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The ends of the wall panels have cavities to accept both roof and floor outwardly projecting locking posts for interlocking cooperative engagement which serve to rigidly connect the components together. The construction of the wall, roof, floor and door components minimizes component shapes and simplifies enclosure construction.

The present invention provides a video buffer control apparatus for dual video decoding and digital broadcasting receiver. In the present invention, one read block controls the reading of at least two video buffers in performing video decoding on at least two channels, whereby the video buffers can be efficiently controlled and whereby the hardware size of the video buffer control apparatus can be reduced. Moreover, the present invention can simultaneously decode both of the digital broadcasting and a video clip or MPEG still picture having a data format inputted via path different from that of the digital broadcasting.

A self-fastening wall cabinet including a plurality of panels having integrated connectors, and a flipper door. The plurality of panels are formed of injection molded plastic and interlock with one another to assemble the wall cabinet without the need for separate fasteners or connectors.

A walking machine that includes a chassis with an operator interface, a main controller in data communication with the operator interface, at least two leg members operatively connected to the chassis, and a power system in data communication and electrical communication with the main controller. Each leg member includes a leg control system that includes a leg microcontroller in data communication with the main controller and at least a first electro hydrostatic actuator in electrical communication with the leg microcontroller. The power system includes an electrical generator, power supply electronics in electrical communication with the electrical generator, an electrical storage medium in electrical communication with the electrical generator and in parallel with the power supply electronics, and an electrical power bus for distributing power from the power system to the leg control systems.

A multiplication engine is described in which a decision threshold engine utilizes a Y-adder powers of two shift table to iteratively generate shift-add combinations. The shift-add combinations are output in a sequence with decreasing levels of contribution wherein the accuracy of the associated multiplication increases up to any desired level of accuracy to meet the requirements of the application. The multiplication engine can be used for generating the combinations either statically or dynamically. One embodiment describes a Y-adder hardware slider table engine in which the shift table is implemented with shifters and adders that can be set for active state or pass through state, and selectively summed to generate a product result directly from the table without the need to combine shift and add hardware.
