An orthodox view in marketing ethics is that it is morally impermissible to market goods to specially vulnerable populations in ways that take advantage of their vulnerabilities. In his signature article "Marketing and the Vulnerable," Brenkert (Bus Ethics Q Ruffin Ser 1:7–20, 1998) provided the first substantive defense of this position, one which has become a well-established view in marketing ethics. In what follows, we throw new light on marketing to the vulnerable by critically evaluating key components of Brenkert's general arguments. Specifically, we contend that Brenkert has failed to offer us any persuasive reasons to think that it is immoral to market to the vulnerable in ways that take advantage of their vulnerability. Although Brenkert does highlight the fact that the specially vulnerable are at greater risk of being harmed by already immoral marketing practices (e.g., deception, manipulation), he fails to establish that the specially vulnerable are a unique moral category of market clients or that there are special moral standards that apply to them. Moreover, even if Brenkert's position were theoretically defensible, the practical implications of his position are far less tenable than he suggests. If our criticisms are sound, then Brenkert and others who endorse his position are seriously mistaken regarding how one can permissibly market products to vulnerable populations, and, in addition, they have improperly categorized certain morally permissible marketing practices as being immoral.

Two weeks ago, we wrote about former USC baseball player Grant Green, who, in the year since he was drafted 13th overall by the Oakland A's, has made tremendous strides in developing as a shortstop and all-around hitter.
In that story, Green reflected some on his 2009 MLB draft experience and speculated a bit about where a few Trojans prospects would go in the 2010 draft.
Well, today we present the opposite: a story about USC's Jio Fontan, a junior-to-be point guard who transferred from Fordham last December and who has his eyes set on the NBA — eventually. Fontan also has high hopes for the Trojans who could be selected in Thursday's NBA draft, swingmen Dwight Lewis and Marcus Johnson.
Fontan — pronounced as if there's an "i" between the last two letters of his name — spent a little more than one full season playing for Fordham, averaging 15.3 points and 4.7 assists per game his freshman year for a dismal Atlantic 10 team that finished 3-25. He requested a release from his scholarship at the conclusion of the season but didn't get it, then returned to school — only to endure much of the same at the start of the 2009-2010 season, going 1-4 and losing to MAAC bottom-feeder Manhattan by double digits.
He decided to transfer to USC in December, then spent the spring semester getting acquainted to his new school and teammates. He often served as a sort of understudy for Johnson and Lewis in the backcourt during late-season practices.
Fontan will be able to play for the Trojans this season after the fall semester, possessing two remaining years of eligibility — with a possible third year if the NCAA grants him a waiver.
Before any of that, though, he wants to focus on the upcoming season. Yes, he says, he has thought about declaring for the 2011 draft, assuming the season goes well — he even talked it over with USC coach Kevin O'Neill in what appears to be a a fast-moving friendship.
But that's not the 6-foot, 178-pound scoring point guard's immediate goal. That, rather, is grabbing attention for himself and a USC team that will return both members of its frontcourt and have the services of three highly touted freshman.
"I'm most excited because now I finally get to play on a big stage, in front of the right people and I get a better feel for what the next level is looking for," Fontan said Tuesday. "Right now, I really don't have too much of an idea besides what my coaches tell me."
"And once the season starts I want to be the leader of the team from the sideline, and I want my team to know once December 18 (his projected return date) comes that I'll be on the court and I'll be just like another coach on the court."
Fontan also provides assessments of the Trojans' 2010 draft hopefuls.
"He is definitely a big-time shot maker," he says of Lewis, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound guard who led the Trojans in scoring his junior and senior seasons. "And, Dwight, with him having a great career at USC, being drafted would be something that's big for not only him but for our program too."
"He has that athleticism and the ability to play defense," he says of the explosive Johnson.
Lewis has worked out for the New Orleans Hornets and Dallas Mavericks, among other teams; Johnson has reportedly impressed in auditions for the L.A. Clippers and Chicago Bulls, where he could conceivably join former USC teammate Taj Gibson.
The most likely route for both of the former Trojans is fighting for a roster spot through an opportunity in the NBA's Vegas Summer League, beginning next month. But, of course, at this time last year most thought Gibson would go in the late-second round or not be chosen; instead, he was picked in the first round — 26th overall — by the Bulls and became a starter by the end of the year.
"I know it's something that they've dreamed about for the past four years," Fontan said. "And they've both been working really hard.
"I think they've both got a shot."

International Conferenceon Natural Hazards and Infrastructure to be held in Chania, Greece, 28-30 June 2016. The Special Session focuses on recent advances in Performance-based Earthquake Engineering with emphasis on dynamically interacting soil-structure systems, such as buildings, bridges, geotechnical structures, wastewater, sewage and energy pipelines, port facilities as well as on related infrastructure. More specifically, it will encourage contributions on the analysis, design and assessment of coupled SSI systems, probabilistic evaluation and mitigation of seismic risk, fragility estimates at a component, structure and network level, structural health monitoring and innovative techniques for identifying the dynamic characteristics of flexibly supported structures, new materials and techniques for active, passive or natural (in-soil) isolation and for improving infrastructure resilience, analytical, numerical and experimental identification of dynamic SSI effects as well as optimum earthquake ground motion selection and generation for research and design purposes. It is envisaged that the Special Session will constitute an interesting forum for researchers and practitioners at the boundaries between geotechnical and structural engineering.
Organisers: Nicos Gerolymos & Anastasios Sextos

She apologized in our comments after the incident, but Britney's Twitter has been almost completely silent since. The most recent message came from Larry Rudolph, Spears's manager. Curiously, Kozak herself has posted to Twitter recently. And Spears is advertising for a new social media manager. But! We hear from a source that after the job listing went up, Kozak has said she's still on the job. And that the person who was actually fired was her boss. Which is where this really gets interesting: The contact listed on the job posting is Joseph Nejman — presumably the boss Kozak mentioned getting fired. Nejman, according to his LinkedIn profile, currently works at Google. But he previously founded JJ Chill, a Venice, Calif. fast-food joint, with Jamie Spears, Britney's father, with whom she's had contentious relations, both business and personal.

If you haven't been following the Jerry Sandusky story that broke this weekend, you might be missing the biggest (and by that I mean "most disgusting") scandal to ever hit college football.

Greek Life:
Greek life is a huge part of this campus and it is a bit overwhelming to be surrounded by something you have no interest in.
The classes are very insightful, the professors are wonderful, and it is an amazing experience overall.
bus system around campus is pretty good but can be crowded. it is easy to take trains and charter buses back to chicago suburbs
hot summer and falls, cold winter.
I really love the business school. engineering is great too
if you apply out of high school and have good grades you will get in, if you transfer it is more difficult and can only happen freshmen year
one of the best schools in the country. ILL
if you need money they will give it to you.. if not good luck
Health & Safety:
champaign and urbana off campus areas are kind of sketcy. also dont walk alone at night if you are a girl
Drug Safety:
kids in frats are huge into drinking at bars. many go out 6 nights a week. they smoke a lot of pot and do coke too.
pretty good internet. lots of labs and libraries
Off-Campus Dining:
great off campus food. sushi is the bomb at ko-fusion
Campus Housing:
Dorms are alright, but live in apartments after fr year
Pretty diverse campus, but there is some racial bias towards asians
They are pretty leinient about partying related issues. one thing to keep in mind is strict honor code. Dont cheat!
The bus system is very convenient. The only real purpose to having a car is for buying groceries; otherwise, it is not of much use.
There are a wide variety of majors at this school. Many programs are very noteworthy, specifically engineering. Engineering at Illinois is one of the top schools in the country and is regarded very highly by international students as well.
Since the state of Illinois is in debt, the university does not really hand out any financial aid.
Local Area:
Although there aren't many attractions on campus, plenty of fun can still be had with friends. I personally really enjoy the area during the warm months, but during winter I do not have much to do.
Off-Campus Housing:
If you do your research, you can find really great apartments for a great price. It may not have some of the flashy amenities of the top-notch apartments, but they are great for the price you find them for, and very close to campus too. In general, it is much cheaper to live north of Green Street.
Campus Housing:
Living in the newly renovated dorms is much nicer than the older alternatives. Some of the rooms are much larger and very spacious.
As an engineer, the classes are of course very challenging but also very applicable to my future.
I haven't had an internship, but I've heard great things from the people who have had them. I am in a research lab, and I really enjoy doing that work.
Health & Safety:
I would say overall campus is very safe. I walk alone all the time and am totally fine.
Athletics are pretty great of the University of Illinois, especially basketball.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
One might expect some tentative and even negative opinions about any school, but this is truly not the case here at U of I. Students are proud of U of I's history, proud of is academic accomplishments, proud of the social opportunities it offers, and, most of all, they are proud to be alumni. For so many students to view their choice to come here as an unequivocally good one is a fantastic testament to the University's strength.
Of course students here have plenty to complain about—the weather, the parking, the Greek social scene, the rural location. But all things considered, the positive points of the U of I experience tipped the scale—the University's academic excellency, the safety, the social atmosphere, the athletic tradition, the city's excellent transportation system. Some students admitted that they had a hard time adjusting, that they occasionally wished they had made another decision—but in the end, they were all happy to be here. The most encouraging fact was that so many people mentioned that they were leaving as better people, more knowledgeable, eclectic, and better equipped to navigate through life. University of Illinois students do not just leave with a piece of paper in their hands, they leave with a wealth of experience that is not easily rivaled—and, for in-staters, without enormous debt burdens to face when they graduate.

No. 671,867, entitled AUTOMATIC TRANSFER FROM COLLATE TO NON-COLLATE MODE OF RECIRCULATING FEEDER AND COPIER OPERATION, filed in the name of Leroy E. Burlew, et al on even date herewith.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to reproduction apparatus; and to feeders for presenting an original, comprising a set of individual sheets, to such apparatus in a manner that facilitates collation of the reproductions into sets corresponding to the original. More specifically the invention relates to mechanisms for determining when the feeder malfunctions in the sense that it presents multiple sheets to the apparatus all at the same time. Feeders of this type include the so-called "recirculating" and "collating" document feeders, which have particular utility on convenience copiers.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
It is well known in the prior art to provide convenience copiers with document feeders that present the individual document sheets to the copier, one-after-another, in a manner suitable for producing collated copies without a sorter. Examples are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. RE 27,976; 3,552,739; 3,556,511 and 3,709,595. It should be apparent from the above-mentioned types of structures that recirculating collating feeders can provide significant improvements in the total copying operation, especially in regard to the convenience and economics thereof. At the same time, however, it becomes more critical with such feeders that they operate repeatedly without malfunction, or at least that any serious malfunction be readily detectable and easily corrected. Collating feeders have not been made commercially available to date and, although the reasons are not known, it may be that the problems associated with malfunctions have played a part in delaying their introduction.
It also is known in the prior art to provide sensors and control apparatus for use in conjunction with copiers or document pg,3 feeders to prevent malfunctions or to act as alerting devices when one or more possible malfunctions occur. Noteable examples are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,249,354; 3,819,266; 3,882,308; 3,920,328; 3,928,772 and 3,932,755. Devices of this sort can be used with collating feeders and will prevent or detect certain malfunctions. Still, however, they are not entirely suitable for all purposes. A particularly difficult problem, for example, relates to malfunctions involving the simultaneous feeding of a plurality of sheets. The present invention is directed to this problem, and provides a particularly attractive solution that is not available from the prior art.
In accordance with the present invention, a feeder for presenting originals to reproduction apparatus, in a manner suitable for facilitating the collation of the reproductions, is provided with improved means for detecting and handling the problem of multiple feeds. The original, comprising a set of individual sheets, is circulated and recirculated for presentation to the apparatus one-sheet-after-another. Multiple feeds are detected by comparing the number of presentations during a circulation with the number of presentations during a recirculation, and some further action is taken, such as shut-down of the feeder, whenever the number of presentations on circulation and recirculation differ.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, a recirculating collating feeder is employed with a convenience copier. Detectors are provided for determining the number of times sheets are circulated for copying the set once, and the number of times sheets are recirculated for copying the set again. These numbers are compared, and, when they differ, a multiple feed is indicated. More specifically, the preferred embodiment includes two sources of information: a counter which is incremented each time sheets are fed to an exposure position, and a set-completed detector. The set-completed detector initiates a comparison between the number counted during a circulation and the number counted during a recirculation. When such numbers differ, the feeder is shut down.
In accordance with other embodiments, the multi-feed condition can be determined by counting the number of exposures during circulation and recirculation, or perhaps by measuring the time to circulate and recirculate.
In the detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention presented below, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a convenience copier including a process section, a logic and control unit, and a recirculating collating document feeder;
FIG. 2 is a more detailed schematic representation, in the nature of a block diagram, of the logic and control unit of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic front elevation view depicting in more detail the recirculating collating feeder; and
FIG. 4 is a simplified flow chart presenting a logical sequence in which the apparatus of the present invention might operate.
Referring now to the drawings, and especially to FIG. 1, a reproduction device 10 is depicted with a feeder 12 and a logic and control unit (LCU) 14. For the purpose of this description, the feeder will be described as if it were a separate attachment. It should be apparent, however, that the feeder and apparatus could be an integral structure, and that the LCU could be incorporated entirely in the feeder, or shared between the feeder and the rest of the apparatus.
The reproduction apparatus is depicted as a convenience copier including a process section 16, a projection device 18 and a copy-support handling mechanism 20.
The projection device is of the full-frame, flash-exposure type, and includes suitable structure for projecting an image from an object or exposure plane 22, accessible from the exterior of the apparatus, to an image or photoconductor plane 24 of the process section. In FIG. 1 this structure is depicted as including a platen 25, defining the object plane, a pair of Xenon flash lamps 26 and cooperating reflectors 28, for illuminating the object plane, a pair of planar mirrors 30 and 32, and a projection lens 34. Additional details of the projection apparatus are set forth in the following patent and commonly assigned copending U.S. patent applications, Ser. No. 654,819 entitled LENS SHIFT MECHANISM, filed in the names of John W. Ward and Richard K. Leinbach on Feb. 3, 1976; Ser. No. 569,507 entitled ILLUMINATION ARRANGEMENT PROVIDING FOR INTERFRAME FLASHDOWN, filed in the name of Alfred J. Michaloski on Apr. 19, 1975, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,998,541, issued Dec. 21, 1976; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,914,047 issued Oct. 21, 1975 in the name of Hunt, et al.
The process section 16 is of the web/transfer type and includes a photoconductor 34 trained to run in a closed-loop path about six web-constraining rollers 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 41. Suitable tracking apparatus for this purpose is disclosed in the following patent and commonly assigned, copending U.S. patent applications Ser. No. 504,778, entitled POSITIONALLY CONSTRAINING WEB SUPPORT, filed in the names of Thaddeus Swanke and Richard T. O'Marra on Sept. 10, 1974, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,986,650; Ser. No. 504,771 entitled WEB TRACKING APPARATUS, filed in the names of Thaddeus Swanke, Michael S. Montalto and John E. Morse on Sept. 10, 1974, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,974,952; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,913,813, entitled WEB SUPPORT WITH CASTERED AND GIMBALLED ROLLER issued on Oct. 21, 1975.
Roller 36 is coupled to a drive motor M and drives the photoconductor in a clockwise direction in its closed loop path whenever the motor is connected to an appropriate source of potential. This movement of the photoconductor causes successive image frames sequentially to pass adjacent a series of electrophotographic work stations, which, for the purpose of this disclosure, can be described as follows:
A charging station 43 at which the photoconductor is sensitized by receiving a uniform electrostatic charge;
an exposing station 45 at which the photoconductor receives a latent electrostatic image by projecting a light pattern representing the object onto the sensitized photoconductor;
a developing station 47 at which the latent electrostatic image is rendered visible by the application of marking particles usually called toner;
a post development erase station 49 at which any undeveloped latent image is removed by illuminating the photoconductor;
a transfer station 51 at which the developed and visible image is electrostatically transferred from the photoconductor to a copy support as will become more apparent hereinafter; and
a cleaning station 53, including erase and discharging devices 54 and 55, respectively, at which the photoconductor is cleaned of any residual marking particles or electrostatic charge.
The copy handling mechanism 20 is suitable for moving copy supports, such as paper, in a path from either of two supply hoppers 56 and 57, through the transfer station 51, and on to either a delivery hopper 59, where the copies are deposited for retrieval by the operator, or an exit 61, where the copies are presented for finishing operations such as stapling and stacking. Additional stations located along this path of movement include the following:
A registration device 63, including a sheet-retarding finger 64, for establishing proper alignment between the copy supports in the copy handling mechanism and the image frames of the photoconductor;
a discharging device 65 for reducing electrostatic attraction between the copy supports and the photoconductor in order to facilitate separation of the copy supports from the photoconductor;
a vacuum transport 67 for supporting the copies from a side thereof opposite the most recently received visible image;
a fusing device 69 for permanently fixing the marking particles to the copy support by the application of heat and pressure;
a sheet diverter 71 for directing the copy supports to a selected one of the delivery hopper 59 or exit 61; and
sheet conditioners 73 and 74 for removing undesireable static electricity remaining on the copy supports.
The logic and control unit 14 coordinates operation of the various work and additional stations with movement of the copy supports and the latent and visible images. To facilitate the coordination, the photoconductor is provided with a plurality of perforations, not shown, along one of its edges, and with suitable means 75 for sensing the perforations. Similar sensors are provided in the copy path. In this manner input signals can be generated to which the LCU can respond for sequentially actuating and de-actuating the work stations as well as for controlling the operation of many other machine functions. A more complete description of means for coordinating operations in a convenience copier are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,914,047, entitled SYNCHRONIZING CONTROL APPARATUS FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS UTILIZING DIGITAL COMPUTER and issued in the name of William E. Hunt, Jr., et al on Oct. 21, 1975; and in U.S. application Ser. No. 671,865, entitled ORIGINAL DOCUMENT REARRANGEMENT APPARATUS FOR USE IN RECIRCULATING FEEDERS, filed in the name of Michael G. Reid, et al. on even date herewith, now Defensive Publication No. T957,006, published Apr. 5, 1977. This patent and application hereby are incorporated by reference into the present application.
The logic and control unit could be implemented by numerous suitable mechanisms such as relays, transistors, or small and medium scale digital integrated circuits. In this particular embodiment, a microcomputer 76 is utilized.
Turning now to FIG. 2, a block diagram of a typical logic and control unit (LCU) 14 is shown which interfaces with the copier 10 and the feeder 12. The LCU 14 consists of temporary data storage memory 78, central processing unit 80, timing and cycle control unit 82, and stored program control 84. Data input and output is performed sequentially under program control. Input data is applied through input signal buffer 86 to a multiplexer 88. The input signals to the signal buffer 86 consist of logic level digital signals which are derived from various switches, sensors, and analog-to-digital converters. Input data also is applied from the perforation sensing means 75 through leads 191 and 193 to an interrupt signal processing means and then to the central processing unit 80. The output data and control signals are applied to storage latches 90 which provide inputs to suitable output drivers 92 directly coupled to leads which, in turn, are connected to the work stations. More specifically, the output signals from the LCU 14 are logic level digital signals which are buffered and amplified to provide drive signals to various clutches, brakes, solenoids, power switches, and numeric displays in the various copier work stations and the feeder. The LCU processing functions can be programmed by changing the instructions stored in the computer memory. This programming technique provides a flexible machine logic and timing arrangement and extends the LCU capability to include the capacity for performing error diagnostics. For example, if an input signal is not delivered to the LCU at the appropriate time, the LCU can display an ERROR code on the control panel or shut down the machine operation. The ERROR code indicates a machine failure. During a copy cycle, the LCU executes the stored program which controls the processing of signal inputs to the LCU and initiates turn ON, turn OFF, and timing of output control signals.
The time sequence of machine control signals (often referred to in the art as events) is critical to the copy cycle because the copier and feeder stations and associated mechanisms must be powered ON and OFF in the correct sequence to assure high quality copying and to prevent paper misfeeds, misregistration, and erratic operation. The primary purpose for controlling the time sequence of events and their relationship to each other is, as noted above, to sense perforations which correspond to the location of the image frames on the photoconductor as these elements continue through the cycle in an endless path. For example, the photoconductor may be divided into six image areas by one set of perforations (F perforations); and each image area may be subdivided into another set of perforations (C perforations). These F and C perfs (not shown) are described in the above-mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,914,047. As previously mentioned, these sets of perforations are detected by the sensing means 75 (FIG. 1), and related signals are furnished to the LCU by leads 191 and 193.
Returning now to the computer, the program 84 may be embodied by a Read Only Memory (ROM). The ROM contains the operational program in the form of instructions and fixed binary numbers corresponding to numeric constants. These programs are permanently stored in the ROM and cannot be altered by the computer operation.
Typically, the ROM is programmed at the manufacturer's facility, and the instructions programmed provide the required control functions such as: sequential control, jam recovery, operator observable logic, machine timing, and automatic document rearrangement. For a specific example, the total ROM capacity may be approximately 2,000 words with each word being 8 bits in length.
The temporary storage memory 78 may be conveniently provided by a conventional Read/Write Memory. For a specific example, the RAM capacity may be 256 words; each word being eight bits in length. Data such as: copy requested count, copies processed count, and copies delivered count are stored in the RAM until successful completion of a copy cycle. The RAM is also used to store data being operated on by the computer and to store the results of computer calculations.
The preferred embodiment of feeder 12 is depicted in FIG. 1 as it might be positioned overlying platen 25, and in FIG. 3 as it might appear with its front cover removed. In operation a document or other original comprising a set of individual sheets is circulated and recirculated one-sheet-after-another for presentation to the copier one-sheet-at-a-time. Each sheet is circulated or recirculated and presented only once for each exposure and the entire set is circulated or recirculated once for each copy. In addition, the sheets are maintained and presented for copying in their original order. In this arrangement multiple copies of multi-page documents and other originals can be produced in a manner that facilitates collation of the final copies. Moreover, collated copies can be generated on-line from the copier without a sorter or collater, and the copies can be delivered ready for stapling, stacking or other finishing operations. Synchronization of these additional functions, as well as the copier and feeder can be provided by the LCU.
The original sheets are cycled seriatim from a storage section 101, including a stationary supply hopper 103, through an exposure position 105 spaced from the storage section, and then back to the storage section 101. The sheets are removed one-after-another in order from the bottom of the set, and returned each on top of previously returned sheets to maintain their beginning order. The entire set is presented for copying once, once again, and again and again to produce the multiple copies, with the number of presentations equalling the desired number of copies.
The supply hopper 103 is defined by a downwardly sloping supporting tray 107 and side plates 108, and further includes appropriate side and end joggers 109 and 110, respectively, which assist in maintaining the original sheets against a forward aligning wall 111.
A rotatably supported vacuum pick-off cylinder 113 extends partially into the space between the floor tray and the wall plate and oscillates for removing the sheets one-after-another from the hopper. The cylinder includes a series of air intake ports and relies on a vacuum for drawing air across the leading edges of the sheets to peel away the leading edge of the bottommost sheet and adhere it to the cylinder. The cylinder then rotates clockwise (FIG. 3) to draw the sheet out of the set and deliver it downstream where its movement is continued by other feeding devices, 115, 117 and 119, which permit return of the vacuum cylinder to pick-off the next successive sheet.
Feeding device 115 grasps the sheet and moves it through an arcuate channel 121 leading to the exposure station 105 and platen 25. Feeding devices 117 and 119 then take over to push the sheet into a registered position on the platen against a gate or pad 123. At this point further movement of the sheet is arrested temporarily to facilitate copying.
After the sheet is copied once, the registration gate is withdrawn and the sheet is returned to its original set by previously mentioned devices 117 and 119, and by a suitable additional sheet driver 125 and channel 127.
The pick-off device selectively is oscillated by a motor and clutch 129 acting through shaft 131. The various sheet driving and feeding devices, on the other hand, selectively are driven by motor and clutch 133 acting through belt 135. In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the driving and feeding devices 115, 117, 119 and 125 operate continuously, although the rollers 117 and 119 may slip in engagement with the document sheets when the sheets momentarily are arrested for exposure. Such continuous operation reduces the mass that must be accelerated whenever movement of the original sheet is interrupted for exposure.
The feeder is capable of presenting original sheets at a rate faster than the copier can make the exposures. It is not necessary, therefore, to drive the copier functions in response to feeder timing. Instead, it is the feeder that is responsive to copier timing. After one exposure the next successive original sheet is removed from hopper 103 and delivered to platen 25, in registration against pad 123, before the copier has recycled for the next exposure. Then, when the copy cycle is completed, the exposure occurs, pad 123 is removed, and a new sheet is delivered for immediate exposure as soon as the copier recycles.
Further details of the above-described portions of feeder 12 are set forth more fully in beforementioned U.S. application Ser. No. 523,610, and its continuation application Ser. No. 647,683, which are incorporated into the present application by reference.
Referring now more specifically to the control aspects of the feeder, and to its various elements employed for the detection and handling of multiple feeds, FIG. 3 depicts first and second actuating switches 137 and 139, two sheet sensing switches 141 and 143, a solenoid and switch 145, and a set-completed detector 147.
The first and second actuating switches operate independently in response to control signals from LCU leads 140 and 138 for selectively coupling the respective motors 129 and 133 to suitable sources of potential, thus causing the motors to operate as desired.
Sheet or document sensor 141 includes a light emitting diode (LED) 149 and an electric eye or photocell 151. The photocell is positioned to receive energy from the diode when the supply hopper is empty. When one or more original sheets are in the hopper, on the other hand, the eye is blocked, and this information is transmitted to the LCU via lead 153.
Sheet sensor 143 includes a microswitch 155 adjacent feeding roller 115. Whenever document sheets pass this switch the switch closes and sends a signal representing a logic "1" to LCU 14 via lead 157. Otherwise, i.e. when there is no sheet adjacent the switch, the signal represents a logic "0."
The solenoid and switch 159 is actuated through lead 161 and operates to remove and reposition the pad 123 in response to a signal from LCU 14.
Set-completed detector 147 includes a separator member 163 which extends into the supply hopper 103 for separating the set of original sheets into those which have been exposed and those which remain to be exposed. The separator member is fixed to a rotatably support shaft of a tendency drive motor 165. As the sheets are fed in succession from the set to the exposure platen and returned singly to the top of the set, the separator member rotates incrementally in a clockwise direction until the last sheet is removed. It then drops through an opening in tray 107 and rotates under the influence of the tendency drive until it is shut-off or returns to its position on top of the original set. During this rotation, the separator member actuates a micro switch 167 which provides a pulse through line 169 for indicating to the LCU that a set of original sheets has been copied once. The computer counts and totalizes the number of copy sets which have been made. At the end of the copy job, the computer recognizes concurrence between the number of sensed switch actuations and the number of copies requested, and, after the last sheet to be exposed is returned the feeder 12 is deactivated.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a flow chart is presented which represents a logical operation for the feeder 12. After the start button is depressed, the LCU will determine if an original is in position for feeding by sampling the lead 153 connected to photocell 151. Upon finding the appropriate signal for "original present" the LCU will send a pulse through line 138, closing switch 137 and energizing both the motor 133 and the vacuum source for the pick-off device. Next the LCU will energize the tendency drive for the set-completed detector 147 so that its separating member 163 will rotate into position overlying the top of the original. Then the LCU sends appropriate pulses through leads 161 and 140, respectively, to drop the registration gate or pad 123 and to initiate oscillation of the pick-off cylinder 113. This brings about the removal of the bottom-most sheet from the original set, and its presentation on the platen against the registration gate in position for copying.
At the appropriate time as determined by the perforations in the photoconductor, the LCU interrogates lead 157 to determine when the removed sheet passes switch 143. At that time, i.e. when the sheet passes the switch, the LCU increments a sheet counter 171, which keeps track of the number of times sheets are presented for copying.
Using the perforations in the photoconductor again, the LCU determines the appropriate time for actuating the copier to expose the original sheet, and then pulses line 161 to remove the registration gate or pad 123. This permits continued movement of the sheet, which has now been exposed, through the exposure station and back to the supply hopper.
The LCU next interrogates line 169. Assuming that the separator member is blocked by sheets in the original set that have not yet exposed, the LCU will return to the appropriate point in its program, as described above, for circulating the next sheet, and so forth, until all the sheets have been copied. Then, however, the separator member will no longer be blocked and will actuate the switch 167 to let the computer know that copying of the set has been completed once.
After, the first set is completed, the information in sheet counter 171, representing the number of times sheets were presented for copying, is transferred to memory 78. The sheet counter also is cleared, a set counter 173 is incremented, to keep track of the number of set copies made, and that number (173) is compared to the number of set copies requested (175).
Assuming a plurality of set copies was requested, the LCU will return to the appropriate point in its program, as described above, for recirculating and copying the set a second time, beginning again with the bottom-most sheet.
This process continues until the number in set counter 173 equals the number of sets requested, at which time the feeder will be shut down. On completion of the second and each subsequent set (recirculations or re-presentations of the original set), however, the number in sheet counter 171 is compared to the number transferred to memory 78. When these numbers are the same, operation of the feeder continues without interruption. When they differ, a multiple feed is indicated and the LCU then establishes a readily apparent signal or condition that warns of the undesired multi-feed event. Preferrably, further operation of the feeder is discontinued by, for example, the computer 76 opening switches 137 and 139.
The above description has been simplified somewhat to clarify these aspects which are most pertinent to the present invention. Further details are set forth in commonly assigned copending U.S. application Ser. No. 671,865, entitled ORIGINAL DOCUMENT REARRANGEMENT APPARATUS FOR USE IN RECIRCULATING FEEDERS, filed in the name of Michael G. Reid, et al on even date herewith, now having been converted to Defensive Publication No. T957,005, published Apr. 5, 1977, and incorporated by reference into the present application.
It should now be apparent that the present invention detects multiple feeds by comparing the number of times sheets are presented to the copier when the set of originals is copied once, with the number of times sheets are presented to the copier when the set of originals is copied again. When a multiple feed occurs, these numbers will differ, since some presentation will include more than a single sheet. Thus, even though every sheet may be circulated every time, so the number of sheets moving in the cycle will be equal each time, the number of presentations will differ when there is a multiple feed, assuming, of course that the multiple-feed condition does not persist through more than one circulation.
The preferred embodiment uses the sensing switch 143 and sheet counter 171 for determining the number of presentations. It uses the non-counting, set-completed detector 147 for initiating the comparison of presentations between copies and the initialization of the sheet counter between sets. The multiple feed event, when it occurs, is indicated by a shut down of the feeder.
Other embodiments not illustrated in the present application might determine the number of presentations, for example, by counting the number of flash exposures for a circulation and a recirculation or by measuring the time for a circulation and recirculation.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.
