SmartCVS Enterprise 7.1 [Win/Linux/Mac]
SmartCVS Enterprise 7.1 [Win/Linux/Mac]
SmartCVS is an innovative CVS client which runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It has powerful features, like built-in File Compare/Merge, Transaction display or List Repository Files, and still is easy and intuitive to use. SmartCVS focuses on your day-to-day tasks and usability and is not limited to the available CVS command set. With SmartCVS Enterprise you can handle tags and branches as convenient as if they were a native Subversion feature. Once you have defined the project repository locations for the trunk, the tags and branches, you won't need to deal with hard-to-remember URLs anymore. Just use tags and branches as you are used to from other version control systems, e.g., CVS.
The SmartCVS project window gives you a very good overview over the whole project. With a single look you can see which files have been modified and for what files new revisions exist in the repository. This helps to detect potential conflicts before they occur.
You can filter the displayed files either by file type (e.g. hide unchanged files) or by file name (e.g. show only *.java files). The table sorting and column ordering can be customized to your needs. To search a file just start typing its name.
When working on a project, often different tasks need to be done at the same time, e.g., implement feature in files X, fix bug in file Y and correct typo in file Z. This causes your project to contain modified files from different tasks.
Use Viewer to Compare Files
Usually, projects not only consist of text files, but also binary files, e.g. graphics. Unfortunately, file compare tools for specific binary content are hard to find, but file viewers for these files are often very easy to find.
With SmartCVS you now can configure file viewers as file compare. Of course, there happens no automatic compare, but for a lot of file types, e.g. graphics, seeing both states on screen lets a human see differences easily.

You have placed this person (#75427773) in the wrong cemetery. That is the old cemetery on the south side of the church. No burials are being made in it anymore. Beatrice is in the "new" cemetery on the north side of the church. See Find A Grave#75418557 which includes a photo of the stone.
You may add your photos to that memorial. Please delete the incorrect one. Thank you

#57583890 and #57583977
George Roudebush (my ancestor) is not buried in the Leesburg Cemetery. He is buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Bristol, Indiana in Section 3, Row 7, Grave 21 per Cemeteries of Elkhart Co, IN, Vol. IV by Elkhart Co Genealogical Society. I have visited the grave back in 1993 and have a photo of the monument. It is not included in the Find-a-Grave Oak Ridge Cemetery listings. It is in a row of eight very old stones along the river and they may be overgrown.
Also, George's wife's maiden name is Susannah Brower, not Brown, according to Montgomery, Ohio Marriage Record, Vol. A-1, Pg 18. Date of marriage was November 1, 1807. She is buried in the Leesburg Cemetery as you correctly show.
I appreciate the work you have done very much and hope you can correct these facts. Is there someone else I should notify?

I am an ancestor of the Frey Family. I read an article about the Frey family as Veterans from the 1700's to WWII in the Reading Eagle in 2007. My ancestor was John Phillip Frey a Rev War Patriot and mentioned in the article. I have been doing research on this family for some time and have some questions about John Phillip Frey's son, Carl or Charles who was married to Catherine Wolbach. If you might have a contact person or if you might have more information on this family, I would appreciate your help.

(Reuters) - Monsanto Co's Climate Corporation is building a network of in-field sensors to expand the scope of soil, weather and other data flowing into its digital agriculture tools that help farmers increase crop yields and reduce costs, the company said on Wednesday.
San Francisco-based Climate also said it will open up its software infrastructure to third-party developers, enabling them to create new applications that enhance the data-fueled services it currently offers. Climate announced a deal with a Kansas-based soil sensor company on Wednesday but did not disclose terms.
The goal is to build an Amazon.com-like network of agriculture products and services that the company says will speed innovation and bolster the capabilities of its Climate FieldView platform.
"We see it as the Amazon of agriculture, where we're bringing additional apps up onto that platform and where the best apps win," Hugh Grant, Monsanto's CEO, told investors gathered for an investor event in St. Louis on Wednesday.
Agriculture companies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on technologies that capture and analyze detailed data about plants, soil and weather to help farmers increase yields and lower costs. The companies hope to capitalize on what they believe is the biggest step forward in agriculture since biotech seeds.
But many farmers, squeezed by tightening farm profits, have not fully embraced the big data offerings.
The strategy of opening up the software platform to developers goes beyond the existing data transfer agreements between Climate and other companies, Climate's chief technology officer, Mark Young, said.
Monsanto has spent more than $1 billion in recent years on expanding its digital platform, which has not yet grown into a big revenue generator. The seeds and agrochemicals company says data science is the key to its long-term growth and the "glue" that connects its breeding, biotechnology, chemistry and microbes offerings.
FieldView services are used on about 92 million acres of U.S. farmland currently, mostly in free services such as field-specific rainfall totals. Only about 13 million acres are enrolled in the platform's premium services.
Monsanto anticipates gross profit from Climate Corp "in the range of a few hundred million dollars" and forecast paying acres on the platform of 300 million to 400 million by 2025, Grant said.
Soil sensor company Veris Technologies is the first to sign on to the new sensor network, Climate said.
Climate is also in talks with other potential partners, spokeswoman Chelsea Shepherd said in an email, without elaborating.

The following article is based on a subject that has not been officially named in any official Square Enix material; the current title is merely a placeholder.
The Grim Reaper (死神, Shinigami?)[1] is a recurring motif in the Final Fantasy series. A psychopomp and personification of death, its appearance differs in every installment, but shares a distinct similarity: a reaper is summoned whenever someone uses the spells Death or Doom, more frequently the former.
Final FantasyEdit
The Grim Reaper in its first appearance is summoned through the spell Death (called RUB in the NES version and Reaper in the Origins version). A skeletal figure wearing a red cape beckons the target's soul and slices it down with its scythe. Or, if using another spell, it throws back its cloak, and four skulls emerge, attach to the soul, and fly upwards.
Final Fantasy IIEdit
Multiple Grim Reapers appear during the spell animation for Curse. They are skeletal blue-hooded floating figures with scythes.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
The Black Magic spells Doom and Death summon the Grim Reaper upon the target. The Reaper appears shrouded in black, has a skull with red eyes, and carries a dark scythe. In the Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection, the Reaper looks like an famished man with a skull for a head covered in a ghostly white shroud. He is also mentioned in Kain's Lunar Trial, as Dark Kain's shrouded appearance and polearm remind the townsfolk of the legendary Grim Reaper.
Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-Edit
The Grim Reaper's depiction remains the same.
Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsEdit
The Grim Reaper's depiction remains the same.
Final Fantasy VEdit
The Blue Magic Doom summons the Grim Reaper. Hitodama appear around the target, followed by the Reaper floating away. The Reaper is dressed in faded red robes and carries a silver-colored scythe. It also appears when the player uses Predict and it generates the Pestilence effect.
Final Fantasy VIEdit
The Death spell summons the Grim Reaper. In its red cloak and a scythe, it appears out of thin air and carries the target's soul skywards while laughing.
Final Fantasy VIIEdit
The Death spell from the Destruct Materia (also seen in Cait Sith's attack "Game Over" from his "Slots" Limit Break) summons the Grim Reaper. Its appearance is more machine-like, its head placed in a red saucer, abstracting its red cloak, and its arms oversized, with its right arm an outright scythe and its left arm large, with a crest with the kanji for death on its hand. The Grim Reaper emerges from black smoke and slashes its scythe across the target. These are the only ways to summon the Reaper; other Death spells, such as Doom, summon an elongated skull instead.
Final Fantasy VIIIEdit
The Grim Reaper's appearance differs greatly from before, with its color scheme being black, red, and purple. It has a dark, mouth-less head and wears a horned skull. Its back has bat-like wings, and its red hands carry a darkened scythe. It is summoned using the spell Death and the command Doom.
Final Fantasy IXEdit
The Grim Reaper wears brownish robes of Middle Age attire with a skull as its head. It appears with four spells: Lv5 Death, Death, Doom, and Roulette. There was a design for an alternate Grim Reaper to be summoned during the final battle, but this idea was scrapped. It appears to have been a precursor for the Hades, which appears as a superboss in the final game.
Final Fantasy XEdit
The Grim Reaper's appearance is similar to the Malaysian penanggal: a bodiless shriveled head. It wears a horned headdress and a cape, and has only a clawed left hand. With that clawed hand it reaches into the target, extracting its soul and crushing it, killing the target.
Final Fantasy XIII-2Edit
When a player runs out of time in the Mog Clock a battle is initiated where the player cannot escape. Images of skulls shrouded in black mist appear on the screen during the battle transition, representing the idea of a Grim Reaper.
Also, Cie'th Gorgyra resembles a Grim Reaper and can even cast Doom.
Final Fantasy Versus XIIIEdit
A large Grim Reaper statue held a painting of goddess Etro, who is known as the goddess of death. Worship of the Grim Reaper was to be a theme in Final Fantasy Versus XIII, but had to be toned down for Final Fantasy XV due to ratings concerns in certain countries. Explicit references were replaced by having the color black be special in the kingdom of Lucis. For example, the main cast dress in this color.[2]
A winged skull motif still recurs within crests and banners in Lucis in Final Fantasy XV, and the main cast has skull motifs on their outfits.
Final Fantasy Tactics AdvanceEdit
Grim Reaper appears when the Doom counter expires or Level 5 Death is used on a susceptible target by Jawbreaker or a Morpher using their powers. It will appear above the target, laugh maniacally and then draw the target's soul towards it, KOing them.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the RiftEdit
When the Death spell is used several Grim Reapers fly over the battlefield, which turns red. It also appears when the Doom counter reaches zero, when Doom is inflicted via Sniper's Death Sickle, and when instant kill moves such as the Parivir's Lifethread Blade are used. It flies onto the battlefield and seizes what appears to be the target's soul, and takes it off the screen.
Final Fantasy Legend IIEdit
The reaper will appear when a character uses the Death spellbook. A skull shrouded in a black cloth will appear on a target for a split second and vanish. He will take the target with him if the spell was successful.
Final Fantasy Legend IIIEdit
The reaper is a slightly modified version of the reaper sprite from Final Fantasy Legend II. It appears when a character uses the black magic Fatal spell. A skull shrouded in a black cloth will appear on a target and vanishes after he finishes laughing. He will take the target with him if the spell was successful.
Final Fantasy Airborne BrigadeEdit
Grim Reaper appears as part of Cait Sith's Game Over attack.
Final Fantasy Record KeeperEdit
Death is often given the name Grim Reaper and, from the 15th century onwards, came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood.The concept of death as a sentient entity has existed in many societies since the beginning of history. In English,

Was Recasting 'The Powerpuff Girls' The Right Move?
Cartoon Network recently debuted its new voice cast for its reboot of "The Powerpuff Girls." Not everyone is happy with the choice, though.By Katherine Biek | June 10, 2015
Rebooting a TV show certainly turns up the nostalgia, but just because the new show might look the exact same as the original doesn't mean it is.
"Using their ultra super powers, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and forces of evil." (Video via Cartoon Network / "The Powerpuff Girls")
So that was the old "Powerpuff Girls," which debuted in 1998. And here's what the superhero sisters will look like when they hit television screens next year.

South Carolina star to miss Monday night game
Sindarius Thornwell will not play on Monday against Seton Hall, according to a report from ESPN. South Carolina will be playing the Pirates in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Thornwell was suspended indefinitely from the team last weekend. Frank Martin discussed the suspension on the radio on Thursday.
"He's been with us at practice, he'll travel with us, he's excited about our team, his role on the team," he said. "Sindarius is one of my favorite guys I've ever come across. He messed up and it is what it is. He's like a son to me. He messed up and he's owned up to his mess up."
"Outside of that, I'm not going to get into anything else. He has my full support. Our job is to prepare our team to play, we don't prepare individual players to play. It's no different to someone rolling an ankle. We're down because of a bad decision. We'll be fine."
Josh Hart leads No. 1 Villanova past No. 23 Notre Dame
Josh Hart put on a show on Saturday as the senior willed No. 1 Villanova to a 74-66 win over No. 23 Notre Dame.
The matchup of unbeatens in New Jersey was tight throughout, but Hart put together one of the best performances any player will have all season, finishing with a career-high 37 points, 11 rebounds and four assists as Hart looked completely unstoppable.
With most of Villanova's roster struggling on the offensive end, Hart took it upon himself to take over the second half. The Wildcats (10-0) only shot 25 percent (4-for-16) from three-point range but Hart's aggressiveness attacking the basket was the difference. Hart finished 10-for-14 from the field and went 14-for-14 from the free-throw line as he put together the signature performance that could eventually help land him Player of the Year honors.
Notre Dame (9-1) put together a strong first half to jump out to a 41-36 halftime lead but the Irish's offense didn't perform at the same level in the second half. The first half saw a tremendous effort from junior point guard Matt Farrell as he torched the Villanova defense for 12 points and six assists in the game's opening half.
Villanova's defense made halftime adjustments and did a much better job of defending ball screens and forcing turnovers as Farrell and Notre Dame's offense was slowed down in the second half. Farrell finished with 18 points but he didn't pick up any assists in the second half as he finished with six. Steve Vasturia also added 18 points for Notre Dame while Bonzie Colson chipped in 11 points.
This win was a good one for Villanova because they were able to beat a tough opponent when most of the roster wasn't performing up to standard expectations. The Wildcats definitely don't want to rely on Hart that much during most games but the Villanova defense deserves credit for performing better in the second half after looking very poor at times during the first. Eric Paschall also provided a really nice lift for Villanova off the bench as he went 4-for-4 from the field, finishing with eight points and giving good energy on the defensive end.
Free-throw shooting was also an important factor in this one as Villanova was 20-for-22 from the charity stripe. With their ability to close out games at the line while having perhaps college basketball's best closer in Hart, Villanova is looking like the toughest defending national champion we've seen since the back-to-back Florida titles 10 years ago.
Alleged victim of Carlton Bragg Jr. assault held in jail
Carlton Bragg Jr.'s battery case took an interesting twist Saturday morning.
On Friday afternoon, a 19-year old woman was arrested at the same address that Bragg was arrested. She was charged with suspicion of battery at 4:42 p.m., after Bragg's appearance in court, and it was filed under the same case number as Bragg's. The Kansas City Star is reporting that the woman is Bragg's girlfriend.
According to Douglas County Sheriff's records, the woman is still in custody.
NBC Sports is not identifying the woman as she has not yet been charged with a crime.
Bragg was charged with battery, a misdemeanor, Friday afternoon after an early morning arrest. He was accused of striking his girlfriend and pushing her down stairs. He has been suspended indefinitely by Kansas head coach Bill Self and will not play in Saturday afternoon's game at Phog Allen Fieldhouse against Nebraska.
Self commented on Bragg's status during a pregame radio appearance on Saturday.

Oklahoma State adds 2017 commitment from guard Amauri HardyLeave a comment
Oklahoma State added an important commitment from one of the best available Class of 2017 guards on Friday as Amauri Hardy pledged to the Cowboys.
The 6-foot-2 Hardy is regarded by some recruiting services as a top-100 player as he gives head coach Brad Underwood a key commitment for Oklahoma State. A quick scoring guard who plays with a lot of energy, Hardy had a solid summer with The Family as the Michigan native offers up some insurance for Oklahoma State at guard.
Since Phil Forte is exhausting his eligibility after this season and sophomore point guard Jawun Evans is having a monster year and could go pro, having Hardy's commitment is a good backup plan. If Evans does return for his junior season, Hardy can provide valuable backup minutes while also being able to play a bit off the ball alongside Evans.
Hardy joins four-star guard Zach Dawson and three-star forward Latravian Glover in Oklahoma State's Class of 2017 recruiting efforts.
VIDEO: Taylor University celebrates 20th anniversary of Silent Night tradition
Taylor University celebrated the 20th anniversary of its Silent Night Game on Friday night.
The Division III school in Upland, Indiana has one of the best traditions in college sports as Taylor has its fanbase stay completely silent until the team scores its 10th point of the game. Upon scoring the team's 10th point, the Taylor students go ballistic as they storm the court and temporarily stop the game. Dressing up in all sorts of group costumes, the Taylor students bring out some of the best ideas you'll see from any college fanbase in the country.
As for the game, Taylor jumped out to a 37-9 lead on Lincoln Christian University and never looked back as they won 99-68. The win moves Taylor's record to 20-0 all-time in Silent Night games.
Jake Heggeland was the game's high scorer with 18 points for Taylor while Evan Crowe broke the Taylor silence for the second consecutive year.

With [pi:p] birds can enter the future!
[pi:p] is the new generation of bird feeding houses. With its futuristic design this bird feeder reminds of a spaceship, more than one of the small classic wooden boxes for grains. The [pi:p] collection house from Koziol is a modern flying object at whose development an ornithological correct feeding was important.
With the food-silo in its core, the spaceship avoids that the passengers jump on their meal contaminating it. The bird feeding house is filled and it gives food free when needed. The birds can sit on the border comfortably without jumping in their own food. We wish a great flight!
The [pi:p] bird feeding house is also available in raspberry/violet and mustard/olive-yellow colours.

This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 598,361 for "Apparatus for Stacking Battery Plates and the Like" filed Apr. 9, 1984, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to methods of and apparatus for stacking battery elements such as battery plates, separators, and enveloped battery plates. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, this invention relates to an improved battery plate stacker that is relatively simple in construction, easy to maintain, and operates automatically to assure that the required number and proper distribution of battery elements is accomplished during the production of storage batteries.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In previously constructed battery element stackers, several problems have been encountered. One problem has been that the device used to pick up the elements and place them into a stack may pick up two or more of the plates or separators, and thus the stack does not comply with the required arrangement. Another problem has been that the device used for picking up the plates or separators may fail to pick up a plate or separator, and thus the battery stack will be missing one of the plates or separators, and therefore, no comply with the required battery stack arrangement.
The foregoing problems have been eliminated in the battery plate stacking apparatus constructed in accordance with the invention and described in detail hereinafter.
An object of this invention is to provide methods and apparatus for capturing topmost elements from supplies of elements and transferring the captured elements to depository zones. Another object is to provide an improved battery element stacking apparatus and methods that automatically, efficently and accurately stack battery elements such as plates and separators required for a particular battery arrangement.
The apparatus for capturing top most elements from supplies of elements and transferring the captured top most elements to depository zones comprises a plurality of vacuum pick-up means with each of the means comprising a flexible cup-shaped member having a central opening. Each of the pick-up means has a stationary sensing means remote from the cup-shaped member for sensing variations in vacuum pressure applied to the cup-shaped member at the central opening. Means responsive to the sensing means individually moves each of the pick-up means toward and away from the top most elements of the supplies of elements. A switch means responsive to maximum movement of the cup-shaped members away from the supply of elements produces a signal in response to which means move the cup-shaped members simultaneously toward a zone for depositing elements held by the pick-up means.
The improved apparatus provided herein includes a frame upon which stacks of the battery plates and separators are positioned, conveyor means adjacent to the plates and extending along the frame for receiving stacks of plates and a plurality of retractable and extendable heads pivotally carried by the frame and located adjacent to the plates and the conveyor means. The improvement comprises a pickup device carried by each of the heads that is engageable with one of the elements for temporarily attaching an element to the head for transporting the element from one of the stacks to the conveyor; and, also comprises control apparatus for preventing retraction of the heads that do not have a battery element attached thereto and will cause the heads to swing over the conveyor to deposit the battery elements only when all heads are retracted and loaded.
The method of the invention provides an improved method of forming a battery stack comprised of alternate positive and negative plates with separators interposed between the plates and includes the steps of: simultaneously engaging a portion of each top plate; flexing each top plate upon engagement to effect a separation between top plates and adjacent plates; effecting a temporary connection with the top plates and, transferring the top plates to appropriate positions to form the battery stack. The foregoing steps are then performed upon the separators with the operation continuing, first upon the plates, then upon the separators.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of battery stacking apparatus incorporating features that are constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a partial, cross-sectional view taken generally along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view, partly in crosssection, illustrating one of the extendable heads used in the apparatus of FIG. 1 that is constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating control system for the battery stacker of FIG. 1 that is also constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic view similar to a portion of FIG. 2, but illustrating a modification thereof.
FIG. 6 is a schematic view illustrating another embodiment of control system utilized in the invention.
FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are partial elevation views illustrating the flexing of the plates or separators during the operation of the extendable heads and pickup apparatus.
FIG. 9 is another representation of an extendable head or vacuum pick-up mechanism useful in the system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating another form of control system embodying the present invention.
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a preferred form of vacuum sensing switch.
Referring to the drawing and FIG. 1 in particular, shown therein and designated by the reference character 10, is apparatus for capturing topmost elements from supplies of elements that is constructed in accordance with the present invention.
In the embodiment of the invention described the apparatus is designed to capture and to stack battery elements designated as positive plates, negative plates, separators and enveloped plates.
The element or plate stacking apparatus 10 includes a housing 12 having a bed or frame 14 located therein that supports a plurality of battery plate stacks 16 adjacent to one side of a conveyor 18. Generally, stacks of positive and negative plates will be arranged in alternate stacks. While only the end of the conveyor 18 projecting from the housing 12 can be seen in FIG. 1, the conveyor 18 extends through the housing 12 adjacent to the stacks of plates 16. Preferably, the housing 12 is provided with additional frame space that is disposed on the opposite side of the apparatus 10. The additional frame space will accomodate a similar number of stacks of plates or separators as required to formulate the desired battery stacks. Where enveloped plates are utilized, separators are dispensed with and the stacks of battery plates along one side of the conveyor will be positive plates and negative plates will be stacked along an opposite side of the conveyor.
The housing 12 also supports a vacuum conduit 20 that extends upwardly through the ceiling or roof 22 of the room in which the battery stacking apparatus 10 is located. The conduit 20 extends into communication with the inlet of a blower 24 that is mounted on the roof 22. The arrangement is such that a vacuum or partial vacuum will be pulled through the conduit 20 for purposes which will become more apparent hereinafter.
As can be seen in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the apparatus 10 is provided with a plurality of spaced, extendable and retractable vacuum pick-up means or heads 26 and 28. The heads 28 are not shown in FIG. 1 since they are on the opposite side of the apparatus 10 to the side shown. Generally, the heads 26 are adjacent to the stacks of plates 16 previously mentioned while the heads 28 operate between the conveyor 18 and stacks of separators 30 located in the additional frame space. The heads 26 are mounted in spaced relation as illustrated in FIG. 1, on a cylindrical member 32, a vacuum manifold, that is pivotally supported by the housing 12. Similarly, the heads 28 are mounted on a cylindrical member 34, a vacuum manifold, that is also pivotally supported by the frame 12.
As also may be seen in FIG. 2, the cylindrical members 32 and 34 are interconnected by a swing link 36. Due to the pivotal connection of the link 36 to the cylindrical members 32 and 34, the heads 26 and 28 are moved in concert in response to the reciprocation of a hydraulically-actuated, double-acting swing cylinder 38.
FIG. 3 illustrates in detail the structure of the heads and specifically of one of the heads 26. The head 26 shown includes a fixed inner tubular member 40 that has its upper end attached to the cylindrical member 32 and is provided at its lower end with a perforated plate 42. Within the tubular member 40 there is positioned a double acting cylinder 44 that has its upper end 46 also connected to the cylindrical member 32. A piston rod 48 projects from the lower end of the cylinder 44 and extends through the perforated plate 42. Attached to the lower end of the piston rod 48 is a vacuum adjusting device 50 and attached to and surrounding the device 50 is an outer cylindrical tube 52. To cause reciprocation of the rod 48 within the cylinder 44, conduits 54 and 56 are connected to the cylinder 44 in the usual manner for a double acting cylinder.
As also can be seen in FIG. 3, there is a small conduit 58 that extends downwardly within the inner tubular member 40 and outside of the cylinder 44 projecting through the perforated plate 42 into a space 60. The space 60 will be referred to hereinafter as a vacuum space. The space 60 is located between the vacuum adjusting device 50 and the perforated plate 42.
At the lowermost end of the outer cylindrical tube 52 and below the vacuum adjusting device 50 there is provided a chamber forming member 62 that is in communication with the perforations extending through the vacuum adjusting device 50 and in communication with a suction cup or pickup member 64 that engages the plates 16 or separators 30, whichever is appropriate. Mounted on the chamber forming member 62 is a T-bar 66 that is arranged to extend slightly below the lowermost end of the suction cup 64, for purposes that will become more apparent hereinafter.
Referring again to the vacuum adjusting device 50, it can be seen that there is a lower perforated plate 68 that is attached to the outer cylindrical tube 52. Disposed on top of a lower perforated plate 68 is an adjusting perforated plate 70 that has an adjusting knob 72 projecting outwardly through a slot in the outer cylindrical tube 52. Since the position of the perforations in the adjusting plate 70 can be varied with respect to the perforations in the lower perforated plate 68, the flow area extending through the vacuum adjusting device 50 can be varied. Accordingly, the differential in pressure flowing through the suction cup 64 into the vacuum chamber 60 is thus adjusted to vary the pressure in the vacuum chamber 60. The lower pressure exists in the vacuum chamber 60 since the chamber 60 is in communication with the interior of the cylindrical member 32 via the perforated plate 42. As previously mentioned, the interiors of the cylindrical member 32 and the cylindrical member 34 are at a reduced pressure or partial vacuum due to the communication between the members, at appropriate times, and the conduit 20 which leads to the inlet of the blower 24.
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates in simplified form the various controls utilized in the plate stacking apparatus 10. As illustrated therein, the swing cylinder 38 is connected by conduits 74 and 76 with a solenoid-actuated valve 78. The valve 78 is connected by a conduit 80 to a hydraulic fluid reservoir 82 and by a conduit 84 with the outlet of a pump 86. The pump is connected to the reservoir 82 by a concuit 88. Interposed in the conduit 84 is an accumulator 90.
The valve 78 is a multi-purpose valve connected by conductors 119 and 121 and is controlled by limit switches 92 and 94 that are physically located adjacent to the swing link 36 and near the ends of the travel thereof. The valve is positioned by these limit switches 92 and 94 so that hydraulic fluid flows from the pump 86 to the swing cylinder 38 through either the conduit 74 or the conduit 76, depending upon which of the limit switches is actuated. In another position, the valve 78 is shifted to a position blocking the conduits 74 and 76 preventing operation of the swing cylinder 38.
The valve 78 is shifted to the position blocking the conduit 74 and 76 when any of switches 96 or 98 are open. The switches 96 and 98 are located adjacent to each of the heads 26 and 28, respectively. The switches 96 and 98 are positioned in such a manner that they are closed by engagement with a portion of the outer cylindrical tube 52 when the outer cylindrical tube is in its uppermost position, that is, when the heads 26 and 28 are fully retracted. The aforedescribed arrangement is provided so that the plurality of heads 26 or the plurality of heads 28 cannot be swung from their respective stacks 16 and 30 to the conveyor 18 until all of the heads 26 or 28 are in the fully retracted position.
It should be pointed out that the switches 96 and 98 may be utilized on each head 26, 28 or in lieu thereof, the electric eyes 100 and 102 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 may be utilized. As will be appreciated, the electric eyes are positioned so that any of the heads 26 or 28, not fully retracted, will interrupt the beam in the electric eye circuits and cause the valve 78 to move to the blocking position, thus preventing swinging of the heads 26 and 28.
The systems for controlling the extension and retraction of the heads 26 and 28 are substantially identical. The double acting cylinders 44 are connected by conduits 54 and 54a with a regulator 104 that is set at approximately 20 PSI. The regulator will, of course, be connected to a source of pressurized air (not shown) which is above the 20 PSI valve. Interposed in the conduits 54 and 54a is an accumulator 106. It will be noted that no valve is positioned between the regulator 104 and the heads 26 and 28 so that the 20 PSI air pressure is constantly imposed on the piston rods 48 into the cylinders 44 in a direction to retract the piston rods 48 into the cylinders 44.
Conduits 56 and 56a connect the heads 26 and 28 with solenoid-actuated valves 108 and 108a which are connected with a solenoid-actuated valve 111 by conduits 110 and 110a. The valve 111 is connected to a regulator 112 that is set at approximately 60 PSI and the regulator 112 is connected with the air supply source (not shown). The 60 PSI air supply passing through the conduits 110 and 56 and conduits 110a and 56a is imposed on the head in such a manner as to extend the piston rods 48.
The solenoid-actuated valve 111 is in a position exhausting air from the conduits 110 and 110a and from the heads 26 and 28 when the switches 92 and 94 are open so that the heads cannot be extended. The valve 111 is shifted into a position so that the 60 PSI air is supplied to the head 26 to extend the rod 48 of the head 26 and exhaust conduit 110a when the switch 92 is closed. The switch 92 is connected by conductor 120 to valve 111. Conductor 118 connects switch 94 with the valve 111 so that valve 111 is moved to a position exhausting the conduit 110 and pressuring the conduit 110a and the head 28 when switch 94 is closed.
One of the features of this invention is to provide a plate stacking apparatus that will not operate if one of the heads fails to pick up a plate or separator from the appropriate stack. In this embodiment of the invention, one way of assuring that a plate is picked up is through the use of diaphragm-actuated switches 116 and 116a that are connected by the conduits 58 and 58a with vacuum chambers 60 (see FIG. 3).
The diaphragm-actuated switches 116 and 116a are normally closed so that the solenoid-actuated valves 108 and 108a are in a position to provide 60 PSI air to the heads 26 and 28. When the switches 116 and 116a are open air is exhausted from lines 56 and 56a.
With air being drawn through the cylindrical member 32 by the blower 24, the adjusting perforated plate 70 is rotated by use of the knob 62 to adjust the pressure in the vacuum chamber 60. This pressure is adjusted so that it will not be sufficient to open the normally-closed, diaphragm-operated switch 116. Accordingly, the head 26 remains extended.
When a plate covers the suction cup or pickup member 64, the pressure in the vacuum chamber 60 drops sufficiently to open the switch 116. When this occurs, current is interrupted to the solenoid-actuated valve 108 and the valve immediately shifts to exhaust air from the conduit 56 and the head 26. The 20 PSI air being applied to the head 26 through the conduit 54 then causes the head 26 to retract with the attached plate thereon.
Each of the heads 26 and 28 is provided with a vacuum sensing device such as the conduit 58, 58a, etc., that is connected to a diaphragm-actuated switch 116, 116a, respectively. Thus, should any of the heads fail to have a plate attached thereto, the proper vacuum will not be generated and that head will not retract fully because the solenoid-actuated valve 108 remains in a position wherein the 60 PSI air is connected to the head maintaining its extended position.
FIG. 5 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the apparatus just described for assuring that a plate will be picked up by each head. The embodiment of FIG. 5 may be used in lieu of that illustrated in FIG. 4 or as a redundant system if desired. As illustrated therein, the outer cylindrical tube 52 is provided near its lower end with a microswitch 122 having a switch actuating arm 124 projecting therefrom into a position wherein it engages a plate picked up by the pickup member 64. The switch 122 is normally closed so that the solenoid valve 108 to which it is electrically connected by a conductor 126 is in a position wherein 60 PSI air is supplied to the head 26 via the conduit 56 extending the piston 48 therein toward the stack of plates or separators. When the pickup member 64 is in engagement with the plate, the plate moves the arm 124 of the microswitch to a position to open the micorswitch 122. The power supply to the solenoid valve 103 is interrupted and thus the valve 108 returns to a position wherein air from the head 26 is exhausted and only the 20 PSI air 54 is imposed thereon. Accordingly, the head 26 retracts.
FIG. 6 illustrates a further modification of the apparatus of FIG. 4 that is provided to assure that a plate is attached to each of the heads. In the apparatus of FIG. 6, a diaphragm-actuated valve designated by the reference character 128 is provided to replace the diaphragm-actuated switch 116 and the solenoid valve 108. The diaphragm-actuated valve 128 is normally closed, that is, the valve is in a position wherein the 60 PSI air supplied through the conduit 110 passes through the valve 108 into the conduit 56 to the head 26 to extend the head 26 toward the stack 16. When a plate from the stack 16 is attached to pickup member 64, lower pressure is developed in the vacuum chamber 60 which, through the conduit 58, causes the diaphragm to flex and shift the valve 128 to a position wherein the air in the conduit 56 is exhausted to atmosphere. As mention before, when this occurs, the 20 PSI air, which is imposed on the lower end of the cylinder 44, causes the head 26 to retract.
The diaphragm-actuated valve 128 and the diaphragm-actuated switch 116 can, of course, be adjusted to vary the pressure necessary to cause the valve to open, permitting retraction of the head 26. Such adjustment may be necessary due to the variation in the porosity and permeability of the materials used in the plates and separators.
One problem that was previously mentioned as occurring in battery plate stacking apparatus is the inability of the previously constructed devices to consistently pick up only one plate or separator at a time. FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate one method utilized in the apparatus 10 for performing this. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the head 26 is being extended downwardly with the T-bar 66 approaching the uppermost plate on the stack of plates 16. It will be noted that the T-bar extends slightly below the lowermost end of the pickup member 64 so that the T-bar 66 engages the top plate first. When the T-bar 66 engages the top plate, the downward motion of the head 26 stops and the air flowing upwardly through the pickup member 64 moves the uppermost plate in the stack of plates 16 toward the member 64. Since the member 64 is set at an angle relative to the position of the plates, the plate is flexed slightly as illustrated in FIG. 8 when it is held in position on the pickup member 64. The slight flexure involved permits air to enter between the plates or separators, assuring that only one plate or separator is attached to the pickup member 64.
Although not illustrated, the T-bar member 66 may be omitted, particularly where the plates are of relatively small size. In this instance, the head 26 engages the plates at the lowermost edge of the pickup member 64. When this occurs, the air flowing upwardly through the pickup member 64 again attracts the upper plate, flexing it slightly so that air separation does occur between the plates, thus assuring that only one plate is attached to the head 26.
It should also be mentioned that the conveyor 18 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) extends through the apparatus 10 between the stacks of plates 16 and the stacks of separators 30 and outwardly of the machine as is illustrated in FIG. 1. The conveyor 18 is preferably advanced in steps so that for each swing of the heads 26 and 28, a plate or separator as is appropriate is positioned on the conveyor 18 so that by the time the conveyor has traversed the entire length of the apparatus 10, a completed stack of plates and separators will be assembled and ready for removal from the conveyor 18 for placement in the battery case.
Although the operation of the apparatus 10 has been described generally as the structural description proceeded, the following summary of the operation may aid in understanding a apparatus 10.
With the machine 10 operating, and with the appropriate stacks of plates 16 and appropriate stacks of separators 30 positioned on the frame 14, the swing cylinder 38 has moved the heads 26 and 28 into the position illustrated in FIG. 2 through its pivotal connection therewith through the linkage member 36 and the pivotably mounted cylindrical tubes 32 and 34. In this position, the head 28 has deposited a separator on the conveyor 18 and the head 26 is in position to pick up the next plate off the stack of plates 16. Since the limit switch 92 is closed, power is supplied to the solenoid valve 111, causing the valve to move to a position delivering 60 PSI air to the head 26, exhausting the head 28, and extending the head 26 to the position illustrated. If a plate is attached to the pickup member 64, the vacuum increases in the vacuum chamber 60 and, through the conduit 58, actuates the diaphragm switch 116 to open the circuit to the solenoid valve 108 causing it to move to the position to exhaust air from the head 26 through the conduit 56. At this time, the head 26 retracts in response to the 20 PSI air in the conduit 54.
When all of the heads have retracted and either actuated the microswitches 96 and 98 or cleared the electric eyes 110 and 102, the solenoid valve 78 is actuated to cause the swing cylinder 38 to swing the heads so that the heads 28 are now positioned over the stacks of separators 30 and the heads 26 are positioned over the conveyor 18 to drop the plates which were picked up from the stacks 16.
The differential in pressure holding the plates and separators on the heads is equalized by exposing the interior of the appropriate cylindrical tube 32 or 34 to the atmosphere. A sliding gate valve (not shown) but like that illustrated in FIG. 8 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,534,549 is positioned in timed relation to the swing motion of the heads so that when the heads are located over the conveyor, the gate valve is opened, releasing the plates or separators to drop onto the conveyor.
Referring now to FIG. 9 there is illustrated a modification of the pick-up means 26 of FIG. 3. The pick-up means 201 includes coaxial cylinders 202 and 203. The upper portion of the outer cylinder 202 is secured to the topmost part of the vacuum manifold or cylinder 204 and extends downwardly to a lower portion of the manifold 204. The inner cylinder 203 is driven up and down by a double acting cylinder 205 which includes piston 207. The lower portion of the piston 207 is secured to a bracket 208, one end of which is fixed to the inner cylinder 203.
The upper portion of the inner cylinder 203 is guided for movement along the outer cylinder by an O-ring or similar device which may be formed of nylon. The lower portion of the inner cylinder 203 is guided through an end cap 211 which also serves to seal off the lower portion of the outer cylinder 202. Secured to the lower end of the inner cylinder 203 is a flexible cup-shaped member 213 having a central opening 214 for the purpose of engaging the topmost element of a supply of elements. In the specific embodiment described the elements are battery elements. A vacuum is applied to the flexible cup-shaped member 213 from the vacuum manifold 204 by way of an aperture 215 in the uppermost portion of the outer cylinder 202. The vacuum, together with the flexible cup-shaped member 213, is utilized to engage and secure the cup-shaped member 213 to the topmost element of the supply of battery elements.
The double acting cylinder 205 is secured to the top of the vacuum manifold 204 by way of a threaded nut assembly 217 and extends downwardly through a lower portion of the manifold 204. A supply of pressurized fluid of one value is supplied by way of conduit 219 to one end of the cylinder 205 and another supply of pressurized air of different value is applied to an opposite end of the cylinder 205 by way of conduit 220. Pressurized air is continuously applied to the lower end of the double acting cylinder 205 by way of conduit 220 and is employed to raise the pick-up means. The pressurized air applied to the upper end of the double acting cylinder 205 by way of conduit 219 is controlled in on/off states. The value of the pressurized air applied by way of conduit 219 is of higher value than that applied by way of conduit 220. When the former is activated it is effective to drive the piston 207 downward to carry with it the flexible pick-up head 213 in order to engage an element. The extended positions of the pick-up head 213 and the piston 207 are illustrated in dashed lines. When the pressurized air or fluid applied by way of conduit 219 is relieved or off the existing pressurized air applied by way of conduit 220 is effective to raise the pick-up head 213.
The raising and lowering resulting from the selective application of pressurized air by way of conduit 219 to the double acting cylinder 205 is under control of a sensing and control mechanism including means for sensing the value of vacuum at the flexible pick-up head 213. The sensing mechanism includes a conduit 225 connected to an aperture 226 in the upper portion of the outer cylinder 202. Absent an element or plate attached to the head 213 the vacuum at aperture 226 and conduit 225 will be approximately the same value as the vacuum at the flexible pick-up head 213. When an element or plate is engaged by the flexible pick-up head 213 the value of the vacuum within the cylinder 203 and at the aperture 226 changes, it actually increases, i.e. the pressure lowers and these variations in pressure are utilized as a mechanism to control the application of pressurized fluid by way of conduit 219 to the double acting cylinder 205 to effect a raising and lowering of the piston 207 and hence the pick-up means including the flexible pick-up head 213.
A push-button type sensing switch 230 is mounted to one end of a bracket 231 the opposite end of which is secured to the outer cylinder 202. The bracket 231 also supports the lower end of the double acting cylinder 205. The purpose of the push-button switch 230 is to sense the full retraction of the pick-up means. To this end an activator element 232 is threadably connected to the bracket 208. The activator element is adjustable by the threaded connection to assure activation of the switch 230 when the pick-up means is in a fully retracted position. Each pick-up means of the plurality of pick-up means includes a push button switch 230. The output of the switch 230 as represented by conductors 233, 234 are connected in series with all other switches 230 to a control element (not shown) which is activated to cause the pick-up means to swing from a pick-up position to a depositing position when and only when all the switches 230 are closed. This assures that an element or battery plate element is being carried by each of the pick-up means before the pick-up means are swung to an unloading or depositing position.
By locating the double acting cylinder 205 outside the cylinders 202, 203 comprising part of the pick-up means, there is avoided the accumulation of dust and small particles that are otherwise drawn up through the concentric cylinders and thus in turn avoid the build up of particles on the exposed shaft of the piston 207, the accumulation of which could interfere with proper operation of the double acting cylinder.
Referring now to FIG. 10 where there is illustrated a modification of the control system illustrated in FIG. 4. The two systems, that of FIG. 4 and FIG. 10 are similar in many details. The principal difference lies with the use in the system of FIG. 10 of a programmable controller comprised of inputs 250, 251, 252 and 253 and outputs 254, 255, 256 and 257. A suitable programmable controller is available from the Allen Bradley Company and identified as Model PLC-4. In addition the modification of FIG. 10 includes delay means 260 and 261 which are effective to delay the response of the mechanism for swinging the pick-up means between load and unload positions. The delay means 260 and 261 may be of the electrical delay line type or may be implemented by way of timers.
It will be recognized from earlier description that the system is designed to swing the pick-up heads to an unload or deposit position only when the series of sensing switches, such for example, as the switches 230 (FIG. 9) are all in the closed position. This occurs under two conditions. One of the conditions is during normal operation of the system when all the pick-up heads are loaded and the vacuum sensing control mechanism then causes the exhaust of the higher pressure fluid in the double acting cylinder to cause the pick-up heads to retract. The second condition occurs, when for one reason or other during the operation of fabricating the assembly of battery elements an operator decides to shut down the system. When shut down occurs power is lost to the control system and the high pressure fluid is automatically exhausted from all the double acting cylinders causing all pick-up heads to be retracted. This in turn closes all switches 230 regardless of whether a pick-up means is loaded or not. Now when power is returned to the system, since all switches 230 are closed, the swing mechanism ordinarily would be energized to cause the pick-up means to swing to an unload or deposit position, whereas in fact, not all the pick-up means would be loaded with a battery element. To avoid this latter situation from occuring the delay means 260 and 261 are provided, which in effect delay the response of the swing mechanism to the closure of all switches 230. As a result, when the system is restarted with all switches closed, the delay provides sufficient time for the various vacuum sensing devices to determine whether or not a particular pick-up means is loaded or unloaded. If unloaded, high pressure fluid is directed immediately to that particular pick-up means to drive it downward resulting in an interuption of one of the switches 230, thereby inhibiting operation of the swing mechanism until the pick-up means return in a loaded state to the uppermost position and again close switches 230.
As aforesaid, the control system of FIG. 10 is similar to that of FIG. 4 and to that extent the same reference characters apply to the components or elements of FIG. 4 are applied to the equivalent elements in FIG. 10. Accordingly it is believed unnecessary to again describe the complete operation. To avoid unnecessary redundancy, further description regarding FIG. 10 will be limited to those aspects that differ from those of FIG. 4.
The system of FIG. 10 derives power from POWER SUPPLY connected between switches 92 and 94. With the swing mechanism in one position to close switch 92, power is applied by way of conductor 121 to programmable controller input 252 and by way of switch 230a and delay means 261 to another input 253 of the programmable controller. By way of connections within the controller, shown by dashed lines, power is applied from input 252 to output 257 and thence to the vacuum sensing switch 270a. With switch 270a closed, power is applied to the solenoid switch 108a to apply high pressure air from the source 112 by way of the solenoid actuated valve 108a and conduit 56a to drive the piston within the double acting cylinder 205a downward to cause the flexible cup-shaped member 213a to engage a battery element. Once the element is engaged the vacuum sensed by switch 270a increases causing switch 270a to open and thereby disable the solenoid actuated switch 108a. The disabling of the switch 108a causes the high pressure air to exhaust and the low pressure air from source 104 will then control the pick-up means 201a to move to its uppermost position where switch 230 is closed. Power is now applied by way of switch 230a and delay 261 to input 253 of the programmable controller. This power now appears at the output 256 and thence to one end of solenoid control valve 78. Since all switches 230a are connected in series, power will be applied only when all switches are closed, whereupon the solenoid actuated valve 78 will be operated to now drive the piston 36 in an opposite direction to open switch 92 and close switch 94. Upon closure of switch 94 similar action takes place with the mechanism on the opposite side of the conveyor belt involving pick-up means 201. The delay means 260, the inputs 250 and 251 of the programmable controller functioning in conjunction with outputs 254 and 255, in like manner as above described, cause the pick-up heads to swing from a load to an unload position only when the vacuum switches 270 are open and all contact switches 230 are closed.
A further modification of a vacuum sensing mechanism or switch is illustrated in FIG. 11. This particular form of vacuum sensing switch is the subject matter of co-pending application Ser. No. 827,389, which the present Applicant filed Feb. 10, 1986 entitled "Vacuum Sensitive Switch" now U.S. Pat. No. 4,692,575 issued Sept. 8, 1987.
The switch assembly 270 comprises a plastic body 271 recessed at 272 to receive a long armed microswitch 273. The body 271 is drilled out at 275 to form a chamber receiving a ball 276 having a diameter slightly less than the diameter of chamber 275. Conduit 225 is placed within the housing 271 and intersects with the chamber 275. The conduit 225 is connected to the source of vacuum as shown in FIG. 9. Another aperture 280 is provided to exhaust the upper portion of the chamber 275 to the atmosphere.
Absent any significant vacuum the ball 276 falls to the bottom of the chamber 275 and rests upon the arm of the microswitch 273 to close the switch. Upon the application of an increase in vacuum by way of conduit 225 the ball is lifted from its engagement with the microswitch arm and causes the microswitch to open. The sensitivity of the switch in response to vacuum can be adjusted by varying the effective cross-sectional area of the aperture 280.
The vacuum switch 270 is extremely sensitive, for example, 0.5" water and is thus able to detect fluctuations in relatively low vacuum levels.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that the systems described herein in detail provide means for picking up either one plate or one separator with each of the pick-up means and transporting the appropriate plate or separator to the conveyor where it is deposited. The pick-up heads cannot swing from the stack to the conveyor and vice-versa unless all the heads are retracted and the heads cannot retract unless there is a plate or separator attached thereto. It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention disclosed in detail herein is presented by way of example only and that there are many changes and modifications that may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Water poured over a small amount of oatmeal and rubbed on the face is very soothing and good for the skin. It is easy to do, just use a small amount. For more treatment, add water to oatmeal and put the whole glop on your face and leave until it feels a little tight. Then wipe off the solid oats with a tissue and throw away and then wash the rest off with warm water.
By racing2elrod

Obsession 5 is the fifth and final issue of the Star Wars: Obsession comic series, released May 18, 2005 by Dark Horse Comics.
Publisher's summaryEdit
On the bleak cemetery world of Boz Pity, the Jedi fight what they hope will be a decisive battle against the Separatists. As a team of powerful Jedi take on Count Dooku, Mace Windu goes one-on-one with General Grievous in a spectacular duel that requires both parties to pull out all the stops!
But Obi-Wan Kenobi cares for none of this. He is concerned with only a single target—the enemy he has pursued across the galaxy. But Obi-Wan doesn't realize that his greatest triumph might also lead to his greatest failure, and destroy everything that makes him a Jedi and a hero.
The exciting conclusion of this story sets the stage for Episode III Revenge of the Sith!
