Proportional Control For Guidance System

View page
US Patent:
40991105, Jul 4, 1978
Filed:
Dec 1, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/636560
Inventors:
Abraham Zeewy - University Heights OH
Donald Geringer - Parma OH
Assignee:
The Cecil Equipment Company - Medina OH
International Classification:
H02P 310
US Classification:
318266
Abstract:
A guidance system for positioning a welding apparatus with respect to a seam or joint to be welded by sensing changes in the surface of the seam. The torch of the apparatus is mounted upon and positioned by a motor-driven cross-slide providing both horizontal and vertical movement. A probe is adapted to follow the reference surfaces. Two variable resistors within the probe detect horizontal and vertical deviations of these surfaces. A voltage on each variable resistor is used to generate pulses which are applied to a SCR network through which power is supplied to the corresponding slide positioning motor. The voltage supplied to the motor corresponds in magnitude and polarity to the deviation in the direction of the path being followed by the probe and welding apparatus. The invention also includes a circuit for disabling the motors when the respective cross-slides reach the limits of their travel.

View page
US Patent:
46266690, Dec 2, 1986
Filed:
Dec 28, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/566180
Inventors:
William H. Davis - Fairview Park OH
John J. Goba - Elizabeth NJ
Dean D. Riggs - Avon Lake OH
Abraham Zeewy - Cleveland OH
Howard M. Flint - Chagrin Falls OH
Assignee:
Fairview Partners - Fairview Park OH
International Classification:
G06K 900
US Classification:
235380
Abstract:
A credit card (10) has a layer (28) of high coercivity magnetic material which is of a sufficiently high magnetic coercivity that once its dipoles are polarized, they are unable to be returned to a randomized distribution. The card is embossed with a man-readable code (30) and is electromagnetically recorded with a man-nonreadable code. Particularly, the electromagnetically recorded code includes an account code (42, 44), a visual comparison algorithm code (50), a visual comparison code (52), an electronic comparison code (54), a card identification number (56), and a personal identification number (58). A reader (60) reads the account code and produces a man-readable display (102) of the electromagnetically coded account number. To verify that he has compared the display with the account number on a receipt, the merchant marks the symbols on the receipt which correspond to the highlighted symbols of the display. From the visual comparison code, the reader determines a preselected subset of the man-readable to be highlighted.

Apparatus For Determining The Speed Of Motion Of Slowly Moving Objects

View page
US Patent:
49739662, Nov 27, 1990
Filed:
May 23, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/198403
Inventors:
Abraham Zeewy - University Heights OH
International Classification:
G01S 1358
US Classification:
342 61
Abstract:
A Gunn microwave transmitter/receiver is coupled to an antenna to transmit microwave signals perpendicularly to a surface of a motionless or a slow moving object and to receive waves reflected from the object. The frequency of the oscillator of the Gunn transmitter is controlled by the output of a sawtooth wave generator. Accordingly, the output of the transmitter is cyclically and linearly varied from a first transmitted frequency to a second transmitted frequency. An accurate timer cyclically resets the both the sawtooth generator and digital processing circuitry. The wave reflected from the object and the signal transmitted at the time of arrival of the reflected wave are processed to detect the difference between the reflected wave and the transmitted wave, or the first negative to positive zero crossing that occurs after reset. This event initiates a time window which is terminated at the end of the cycle in which the relationship is detected. During the time window, output signals from a relatively high frequency pulse source are accumulated in a counter and subsequently stored in the memory of a processor.

Automatic Guidance System For Welding Torches And The Like

US Patent:
40681548, Jan 10, 1978
Filed:
Mar 3, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/554667
Inventors:
Shelby Cecil - Medina OH
Abraham Zeewy - University Heights OH
Assignee:
Cecil Equipment Co., Inc. - Medina OH
International Classification:
G05B 1942
US Classification:
318568
Abstract:
Apparatus for guiding a welding torch, slave mechanism or the like, including a probe or guide wherein the torch follows or traces the path of the probe, both as the probe (1) follows a basic straight, curved, or otherwise changing spatial or three dimensional path and (2) as it departs from the direction of the basic path or seam because of defects of rather short duration, or of sudden changes in lateral and/or vertical abutments or surfaces against which the probe travels, wherein the path of the welding torch or slave mechanism is caused to trace the path traveled by the probe or guide, and not merely to duplicate the path in a stepwise functional relationship therewith. The apparatus includes means by which the probe directs its own travel along a predetermined path, whether planar or spatial, and detects deviations therein; it further includes memory means by which the signals of the probe and the deviations therein are retained within the apparatus, and utilized to cause the slave to trace the path of the probe or guide. The invention includes the circuitry and the portions thereof by which the objects of the invention are obtained and the apparatus is caused to function, as well as the apparatus itself.

Fraudulent Card Intercept System

US Patent:
47452676, May 17, 1988
Filed:
Aug 23, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/772335
Inventors:
William H. Davis - Fairview Park OH
John J. Goba - Elizabeth NJ
Dean D. Riggs - Avon Lake OH
Abraham Zeewy - Cleveland OH
Howard M. Flint - Chagrin Falls OH
Assignee:
Fairview Partners - Westlake OH
International Classification:
G06F 1530
US Classification:
235379
Abstract:
Credit card blanks are manufactured with a plurality of random, secure codes (24) such as randomly applied infrared readable bits. A card encoding apparatus (B) includes a secure code reader (32) for reading the secure code from one of the blanks. The secure code and account information are operated on by an encoding algorithm (36, 38) to generate a verification code which is electromagnetically recorded (40) or embossed (42) on the card. In conjunction with a credit card transaction, the merchant passes the credit card past an electromagnetic read head (50) and an infrared read head (52) to read the electronically encoded account information, verification code, and secure code. A keyboard (54) enables the merchant to manually enter this data if the electromagnetic recording should be unreadable. The verification apparatus operates on the account information with a verification algorithm (66, 68, 70) to generate an answer corresponding to the verification code. If the answer and verification code match, an authentication code generator (82) generates an authentication code which is displayed on an LCD dot matrix display (56) and handwritten by the merchant on the receipt.

Video Monitoring System And Method

US Patent:
42570638, Mar 17, 1981
Filed:
Mar 23, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/023032
Inventors:
H. Hampton Loughry - Hudson OH
Abraham Zeewy - University Heights OH
Assignee:
Ham Industries, Inc. - Macedonia OH
International Classification:
H04N 718
US Classification:
358108
Abstract:
A television system and method are disclosed for monitoring and indicating changes in a scene from which electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, emanates. A television system including a television camera scans the scene in known raster fashion in a series of image frames, producing an amplitude modulated video signal describing the energy intensity distribution of the scene. Clocking and gating circuitry triggered in synchronism with television camera synchronization signals defines a set of predetermined discrete spaced locations of the raster during each image frame and samples video signal amplitude at each of the defined locations. The same discrete locations are sampled during each frame. Video selection circuitry, during a succession of sampling periods, inputs in real time a representation of each video amplitude sample to one of several storage channels of a multi-channel memory system including a multi-channel counter. The video amplitude samples are allocated among the channels as a function of their amplitude values.

Proportional Control For Guidance System

View page
US Patent:
40781976, Mar 7, 1978
Filed:
Jul 19, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/706687
Inventors:
Abraham Zeewy - University Heights OH
Donald Geringer - Parma OH
Assignee:
The Cecil Equipment Company - Medina OH
International Classification:
G05G 500
US Classification:
318626
Abstract:
A guidance system for seeking, following, and maintaining the position of a welding apparatus with respect to a seam or joint to be welded by sensing changes in the surfaces, hereinafter called reference surfaces, at or adjacent to the seam. The system includes a probe adapted to detect and follow the reference surface(s) and to detect changes and deviations in the vertical and/or horizontal components of these surfaces, respectively. The torch of the welding apparatus is mounted upon and positioned by a motor-driven cross-slide providing both horizontal and vertical movement. The probe is mounted on the torch or on its own slide, which may be either on the torch or separate therefrom. Within the probe are two variable resistors, the resistance of each of which is changed by a displacement, horizontal or vertical as the case may be, of a probe shaft which engages and tracks upon the reference surfaces, either one or more angular surfaces having horizontal and vertical components (as in a V-joint) or a vertical and a horizontal surface (as in a lap joint). A voltage impressed upon each variable resistor is detected and applied, through an amplifier, to a trigger pulse generator, which generates pulses supplied to a silicon-controlled rectifier network through which power is supplied to the corresponding slide positioning motor.
