20110120834 | CONVEYING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SORTING PRODUCTS - A conveying apparatus comprises a first conveyor for conveying products in a first conveying direction, which first conveyor comprises a first supply location, where a first series of products are supplied to the first conveyor via a first supply station, a second conveyor for conveying products in a second conveying direction, which second conveyor comprises a second supply location, where a second series of products are supplied to the second conveyor via a second supply station. The conveying apparatus further comprises a channelling element for channelling at least one product out from the second conveyor, and a channelling conveyor for conveying a channelled-out product from said channelling element. The channelling conveyor and the first supply station being arranged and cooperating with the first conveyor in such a manner that a product that has been channelled out from the second conveyor and said first series of products are supplied to the first conveyor in such a manner as to jointly form an at least substantially continuous product flow. | 05-26-2011 |
20110272241 | SORTING DEVICE AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SORTING DEVICE - A sorting device comprises a support member for supporting and transporting an article. The support member is drivable in a conveying direction. The sorting device also comprises a loading station at which at least an article can be loaded to the support member, and an unloading station at which at least an article can be removed from the support member. The unloading station is provided with a plurality of receivers for receiving an article that is removed from the support member. The receivers are arranged transversely with respect to the conveying direction and disposed such that they are below the support member when the support member is at the unloading station. Furthermore, the sorting device comprises a controller for directing an article that is supported and transported by the support member to a selected one of the receivers. | 11-10-2011 |
20140182997 | Apparatus for Transport and Controlled Discharge of Products - An apparatus for comprises a frame having a guide, a transport unit including a support tray and a drive to transport the transport unit with respect to the frame. The transport unit includes pushing member displaceable with respect to the tray transversely with respect to a transporting direction. The pushing member includes a pushing portion that pushes against a product on the tray and an actuator which is guidable along said guide such that the pushing portion displaces with respect to the tray upon moving the transport unit in the transporting direction when the actuator contacts the guide. The pushing portion is resiliently connected to the frame when the actuator contacts the guide under operating conditions. The damping factor of said connection has such a low value that the process of compression/expansion of the resiliency at least partly occurs within a period of contact of the actuator and the guide. | 07-03-2014 |

20090111290 | ELECTROCOATED CONTACTS COMPATIBLE WITH SURFACE MOUNT TECHNOLOGY - According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of contacts that may be compatible with surface mount technology. The contacts may be surface mountable for establishing an electrical pathway (e.g., electrical grounding contact, etc.) from at least one electrically-conductive surface on the substrate to another electrically-conductive surface (e.g., EMI shield, battery contact, etc.). In one exemplary embodiment, a contact generally includes a resilient dielectric core member. At least one outer electrically-conductive layer is electrocoated onto the resilient dielectric core member. A solderable electrically-conductive base member may be coupled to the resilient core member and/or the outer electrically-conductive layer. The base member may be in electrical contact with the outer electrically-conductive layer. | 04-30-2009 |
20090114438 | Fabric-Over-Foam EMI Gaskets Having Transverse Slits and Related Methods - According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of fabric-over-foam EMI gaskets. In one exemplary embodiment, a fabric-over-foam EMI gasket generally includes a resiliently compressible foam core and an outer electrically-conductive fabric layer. At least one slit extends generally transversely across an upper surface portion of a longitudinally extending region of the gasket. | 05-07-2009 |

20100266246 | EMI SHIELDING AND/OR GROUNDING GASKETS - An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and/or grounding gasket generally includes one or more sides and slots along the one or more sides. Finger elements are defined by the slots. The finger elements include contact portions for electrically contacting at least one electrically conductive surface adjacent to a mounting surface when the gasket is mounted thereto with its one or more sides disposed about and in electrical contact with the mounting surface. The gasket may thus be operable for establishing an electrically conductive pathway between the electrically-conductive surface and the mounting surface. | 10-21-2010 |
