A system, method and apparatus for controlling a linear stage a pallet is described herein. In one aspect, a conveyor system includes a conveyor pallet that includes a first mobile magnetic component and a second mobile magnetic component. A first stationary magnetic component can magnetically engage the first mobile magnetic component. A second stationary magnetic component can magnetically engage the second mobile magnetic component. A first controller can activate a first magnetic displacement between the first stationary magnetic component and the first mobile magnetic component when the conveyor pallet is in a first range of positions. A second controller can activate a second magnetic displacement between the second stationary magnetic component and the second mobile magnetic component when the conveyor pallet is in a second range of positions.

Direct drive transport system

A method and apparatus for synchronizing a station connected in a data ring to the date rate in the ring in which the state of the data is detected as being in a first or second state and masking or unmasking first and second logic elements responsive to the data states and periodically generating at the unmasked element a timing signal which is responsive to the ring data rate.

Method and apparatus for synchronizing a station connected in a data line

A data ring circulates a serial stream of data bits between ring stations. The data stream is made of packets and each station may add data to and extract data from the packets. As the number of data bits in the data stream and its length becomes longer than the electrical length of the data transmission line, it is necesssary to store the excess data bits which cannot be accommodated on the transmission line. Accordingly, a store is provided to store the excess data. When the transmission line is initially filled, the first data bit in the data stream will appear at the store. Any data phase transition is sensed and data is clocked into the store responsively. In this way, the insertion of data into the store is made responsive to the phase of the data and to the changing electrical length of the line, and the phase of the data at the store input. A clock provides an indication when all of the data has been placed on the line and responsive thereto, enables the reinsertion of data from the store to the line and contiguous with the last bit of the initially loaded data stream.
