摘要： A clothes washing machine is automatically responsive to indications of high suds level conditions during washing operations to, not only counteract the high level of suds, but effectively educate the user on avoiding the reoccurrence of the conditions. A display, such as an LCD touch screen which is also preferably used to input desired cycle parameters, is integrated into the washing machine for both alerting the user to the occurrence of a high suds level condition and conveying information on how to avoid the development of the situation in the future. In order to avoid prematurely alarming the user, it is preferable to instruct the user only after a predetermined number of high level suds cycles are detected.

摘要： An apparatus, method and system of wash action control for an automatic washing machine. A manually operable user interface allows selection from between a plurality of discrete agitation speed selections which comprise at least a continuous speed agitation mode for a given agitation period during a wash cycle and an intermittent speed agitation mode for at least a part of a given agitation period. The intermittent speed agitation mode automatically varies agitation speed between at least two sub-periods of the given agitation period. The variation in agitation speed can be between a faster and a slower speed or a certain speed and no agitation.

摘要： A pricing control system for multi-operation vending machines, such as those commonly found in laundromat facilities, incorporates an offset price setting field for storing at least one incremental offset price which is added to a pre-established base price in order to set the cost for a respective vending machine operation. In accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the invention, a single offset price is used to increment each of the base prices established for a given vending machine such that the costs associated with each of the operations is incremented an equal amount. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, multiple offset price amounts are stored and added to predetermined base prices to establish the cost of each of the respective vending machine operations. The price control system is considered to be particularly advantageous when utilized in connection with a debit card charging arrangement and enables facility operators to change the numerous vending machine operation prices by only altering the data stored in the offset price setting field. In addition, the use of the pricing control system of the present invention readily enables penny increment price changes to be implemented in existing vending machine facilities.

摘要： An unbalance detection and control system senses an out-of-balance condition developed during a plaster speed portion of spin cycle in a washing machine, particularly a horizontal axis washing machine, through fluctuations in command signals sent from a main controller to maintain a spinning basket or tub of the washing machine at plaster speed. Preferably, the controller sends a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal to a drive controller which, in turn, regulates a motor used to spin the tub. A feedback loop is employed to reflect an actual operational state achieved by the spinning tub, which may warrant a change in the command signal. Excessive fluctuations in the command signals indicate a need to redistribute the load of clothes in the tub.
摘要翻译：不平衡检测和控制系统通过从主控制器发送的命令信号的波动来检测在洗衣机，特别是水平轴洗衣机中的旋转循环的石膏速度部分期间产生的不平衡状态，以维持纺纱篮或浴缸的洗衣机以石膏的速度。优选地，控制器向驱动控制器发送脉宽调制（PWM）信号，驱动控制器又调节用于旋转桶的马达。使用反馈回路来反映由旋转筒实现的实际操作状态，这可能保证命令信号的改变。命令信号的过大波动表示需要重新分配浴缸中衣物的载荷。

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing a self-test feature for an apparatus utilizing an optical communication link, such as commercial laundry appliances having a data acquisition system for storing information on appliance usage for subsequent transmission to a portable data unit. A signal having at least one known characteristic is applied to the transmitting portion of an optical transceiver, and at least a portion of the resulting transmitted optical energy is coupled to the optical detector of the receiving section of the same transceiver. The characteristics of the resulting output of the receiver elements of the transceiver corresponding to the coupled signal are compared to the corresponding characteristic of the known input signal. Correspondence of these characteristics will confirm valid operation of the transmitting elements and the receiving elements, and thus verify operation of the optical transceiver.

摘要： Disclosed is a method of reading and writing data to and from a transactional database using a scatter-gather routine that minimizes the time in which the database is subject to a transaction lock. Data is placed in a scatter-gather list in RAM, which speeds the process of reading and writing data to the database. Further, a process is disclosed for restoring data in a transactional database that is accessed by more than one controller. An alternate controller is held in reset mode and placed offline, so that data in the transactional database cannot be changed during the restoration process. In addition, the database is placed offline and the host is notified that the database is invalid, so that the host cannot access the transactional database.

摘要： A data acquisition system having selective communication capability to enable the data acquisition system to communicate with other data acquisition systems. The probe of the present invention initiates communication with a data acquisition unit located in an appliance. The data acquisition unit maintains a collection record which indicates the current setup and counts of the appliance. When the probe communicates with the data unit, it identifies itself and based upon this identification, the data unit responds with a particular collection record which is compatible with the probe communicating with the data unit. In addition, if the probe is used to setup a data unit, the probe decides what type of setup record to send based upon the collection record received from the data unit.

摘要： A washing machine for automatically laundering articles of clothing by imparting mechanical actions upon the articles of clothing within a basket of the machine during a washing operation that includes a wash cycle and a preset number of rinse cycles incorporates a control system that functions to alter the mechanical actions imparted upon the articles of clothing during at least the wash cycle, and preferably both the wash cycle and at least one of the rinse cycles, and/or adds a supplemental rinse cycle to the overall washing operation in response to an indication of a high suds level condition in the machine. The control system receives signals indicative of an operating parameter of the washing machine, such as the input torque or operating speed of a motor of the machine, from a detection unit and utilizes these signals to determine the presence of high levels of suds and the need to transfer to a suds reduction mode of operation. In at least a preferred embodiment of the invention, provisions are made to recover from the suds reduction mode by returning to the normal washing operation and/or simply cancel the supplemental rinse cycle.
