Price Setting And Display System For Multiple Unit Merchandising Machine

View page
US Patent:
46777776, Jul 7, 1987
Filed:
May 8, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/731967
Inventors:
David Hoffman - Hillsdale NJ
Lee C. Verduin - Grand Rapids MI
Ross Ouwinga - Grand Rapids MI
Assignee:
Rowe International, Inc. - Whippany NJ
International Classification:
G09F 1904
US Classification:
40460
Abstract:
An improved price display system for a multi-level merchandising machine in which the prices of articles at the respective levels are electronically displayed individually at locations immediately adjacent to the levels. Both the prices and the displays can be changed in a rapid and expeditious manner from a station within the machine cabinet. In addition, both the mode of operation and the compartment size of a level can be displayed and changed. The system may be provided with a timer for automatically changing all prices at a predetermined time. The system employs a small number of conductors to control a large number of displays.

Programmable Spectrophotometer Using A Data Memory For Storing A Sequence Of Generalized Commands

View page
US Patent:
54001382, Mar 21, 1995
Filed:
Nov 20, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/979196
Inventors:
Steven H. Peterson - Wyoming MI
Ross Ouwinga - Grand Rapids MI
James L. Overbeck - East Grand Rapids MI
Assignee:
X-Rite, Incorporated - Grandville MI
International Classification:
G01J 350
US Classification:
356319
Abstract:
A color measuring system includes a portable spectrophotometer connectable to a general-purpose computer. The portable unit includes a microprocessor with a read-only program memory storing machine executable instructions to implement data processing for color measurement purposes and input/output functions including key reading and data transfer functions and display functions. A random-access data memory is used to temporarily store process data for later transfer to the general-purpose computer. An editor program and a compiler program in the general-purpose computer may be used to generate a program for the microprocessor using high-level, generalized commands. After such a program has been written and compiled in the general-purpose computer, it is transferred to a command buffer area in the random-access data memory of the microprocessor. The microprocessor, in its program memory, includes a command interpreter including a predefined sequence of machine executable instructions for each generalized command. When executed, the command interpreter reads a generalized command from the data memory and, if necessary, updates relevant data pointers and executes the predefined sequence of machine executable functions in the program memory corresponding to the generalized command being processed.

Scanning Densitometer

View page
US Patent:
50730282, Dec 17, 1991
Filed:
Apr 23, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/512856
Inventors:
David R. Bowden - Grand Rapids MI
Ross A. Ouwinga - Grand Rapids MI
Lawrence D. Zandstra - Rockford MI
Assignee:
X-Rite, Incorporated - Grandville MI
International Classification:
G01J 351
US Classification:
356402
Abstract:
A scanning densitometer is disclosed for obtaining color density measurements from colored samples, such as color bars and the like. The scanning densitometer includes a densitometer head (100) and a densitometer head transport system (101) having transport bars (102, 103). A sample sheet is positioned under the transport bars (102, 103) and the self-propelled head (100) moves over the sheet along the bars (102, 103) toward an end limit stop (105). During a return movement from the end limit stop (105) to a docking end housing (110), color measurement data is obtained. Upon docking at the docking end housing (110), an optical communications interface is provided so that data from the densitometer head (100) can be transmitted to a host computer.
