Dredge position controller
20210120794 · 2021-04-29 ·

A position controller for electronically monitoring the position and speed of a dredge. The position controller consists of an electric powered line winding spool with an electric encoder to indicate line speed and position to a microprocessor. A drag control assembly with electric control is used to increase, decrease or set the drag at desired setting by microprocessor control. Touch screen microprocessor interface is the preferred method to enter settings into the system and allow display/control through multiple preexisting marine electronic devices throughout a fishing boat.

An image forming apparatus is capable of easily changing a scheduled stacking position of any image forming job. An image region in which an overall arrangement mode of the image forming apparatus and sheet discharge apparatus is displayed and a list region in which standby jobs are listed are displayed on a monitor screen. In the image region, a sheet bundle of the selected standby job is displayed on a tray that is set as the scheduled stacking position of the selected standby job. When the sheet bundle is selected and dragged and dropped by a mouse pointer on the monitor screen, the tray being set as the scheduled stacking position is changed, and a position at which the sheet bundle is displayed is also changed.
