A computer system for analyzing and automatically modifying existing process system models that includes (i) an Initial Data stage that prompts the user to enter qualitative and quantitative objectives in designing or re-designing a Process System, (ii) a Component Model stage that displays an image of the sequence of components produced or added during the process and that allows the user to edit or complete the Component Model display that includes components, which are produced during the process, operations that produce them, and functions, each consisting of an element or tool that causes an action and an element or tool that receives the action, (iii) a Process (Functional) Analysis stage that includes functional and interaction relationships of the functions and operations designating each function as harmful or useful, and ranking each useful function according to the value of its contribution to the respective operation, and performing a value link analysis of each function including the level of the function performance (insufficient, excessive), defining parameters and designating their values and their dependencies in time and space, and comparing between actual and required parameters, (iv) a trimming routine for eliminating or simplifying an operation in a process, while retaining or transferring its useful functions by calculating the values of and ranking the operations or functions to identify the best-to-least function candidate for elimination or transfer, and (v) a trimming routine that generates a recommended list, in priority, of problem, to be solved to achieve the function trimming.

A software system includes an engineering analysis system (EAS) for analyzing an engineering object system and for recommending elimination of object system components. The EAS includes a functional model unit responsive to user entry for generating images of a functional model of the object system including its components, elements and products and representations of the interactions between the generated components, elements, and products. The functional model can be represented as a number of component/element boxes and harmful and useful interaction lines therebetween, or the functional model components, elements and products can be represented in matrix form with interactions identified in the intersections of the matrix. The EAS includes an advanced link analysis unit for prompting user entry, storing and displaying of (i) a parameter of at least one of said interactions, (ii) the actual and desired quantitative or qualitative values of said parameter, (iii) a time and space dependency of the parameter. A trimming unit responsive to functional model data and interaction evaluation data is provided for generating a trimming recommendation rank for each functional model component and displaying representations of the trimming recommendation rank on the screen as well as the trimmed functional model and the improvement results if the recommended trimming can be accomplished.

In a method of and a device for suction transporting a material from an object surface, the suction transporting device has a suction unit and a unit for modulating the suction. A suction is applied to a transporting line by the suction unit so that a material is transported through the transporting line from an inlet to an outlet. A suction force of the suction produced in the transporting line is modulated by communicating an interior of the transporting line with atmosphere through a passage and periodically changing the area and the shape of the passage during the transporting. The frequency of the modulation is changed in dependence on the distance between the inlet of the transporting line and the object surface.

A method of separation from a stack of sheets a block of predetermined number of sheets, the method including retaining the stack so that a portion of one edge of each consecutive foremost sheet is free to bend away from the stack, directing a plane of air flow sequentially on to the foremost surfaces of a predetermined number of foremost sheets to bend at least a portion of the free edge of each of the predetermined number of foremost sheets away from the stack, separating the bent predetermined number of foremost sheets into a block and removing the block from the remaining sheets in the stack. Preferably, the plane of the air flow intersects the plane of the sheets in the stack in the range of 5.degree.-10.degree.. The plane of the air flow can be directed to bend the free edge or just the corners of sheets in the block to be separated. In one example, the stack foremost end is inclined downward and the air flow is directed upward.

A method of crushed ground-wood processing comprises charging the input between two relatively revolving and displaced conical surfaces with simultaneous dimension separation variation by circulating vibrations causing the surfaces to apply variable squeezing pressure and lateral or normal forces to effectively compress and rub the bark from the wood surface.

A threadless connector for cable pipes or electrical conduit that includes two half-couplings having tightening flanges along their lateral edges or faces. Female and male necks and beads extend along the cooperating lateral faces to form longitudinal seals when the half-couplings are clamped together. Internal radial grooves located near the outer parts of both ends of the half-couplings cooperate with split compression rings the outer surface of which compresses against the conic grooves and the inner edges bite into the connected pipe sections to form radial seals therewith. The half-couplings can be either two separate congruent parts or joined along one edge as desired.
