A follow-up guidance and information transfer system is disclosed for use between a control point and a moving object utilizing a laser beam generated at the control point. The incident beam is directed by a movable mirror toward the moving object and reflected therefrom by a corner cube or the like along the same path. A detector disposed in the passing zone detects direction and amplitude of deviations of the reflected beam from the path of the incident beam, and a mirror control responds to the detected signals to direct the path of the incident beam to follow the moving object.

Follow-up guidance and information transfer system for a moving object

An information transfer system for transferring information to a fixed position from a moving object. The information system includes a light beam scanning along the route of the moving object. The light beam is linearly deflected. The moving object is provided with a modulation-reflection apparatus which receives the linearly-deflected light and changes a rotary angle at a polarization surface based upon information from the moving object itself such as object number, destination, or running speed. This modulates the incident light and reflects it back in the direction from which it came. The reflected light from the modulation-reflection apparatus is received through a light-sensitive detection device which allows the light to pass corresponding to the rotary angle of the polarization surface. Consequently, information regarding the moving object is discriminated.

System for optically transferring information between a moving object

An empty can crusher for crushing and flattening empty cans, comprising an inlet, a chute, a stopper device, a pressing device and a forked chute. Empty cans supplied in the crusher are crushed and flattened by the pressing device and are sorted into aluminium cans and steel cans by means of a magnet embedded in the pressing device, which fall down into respective receptacles through the forked chute.

Empty can crusher

A method and an apparatus for dewatering screenings collected at a sewage treatment plant or the like continuously and effectively by preliminary and secondary dewatering processes. Any alien substance mixed in the screenings such as stone, chips of wood, etc. which cannot be dewatered can be detected automatically and extracted immediately, without suspending the operation of the apparatus.
