Abstract: An evaluation method in which a capacitive sensor is placed in a region of a container, into which a granular material is fed so as to contact the sensor, and the variation in the impedance of the sensor caused by feeding in the material is evaluated. The method is particularly useful for evaluating the compactness of sand in a formwork for making metal castings. The evaluation system includes a sensor defined by plates sensitive to the variation in the dielectric; and a conditioning and control circuit for indicating the variation in the capacitance of the plates, or more generally the total impedance of the system, when the granular material is fed into the container. In one embodiment, the plates of the sensor are defined by two combs made of conducting material, having two numbers of interlacing segments, and located on a rigid or flexible support.

Abstract: A system for performing closed captioning enables a caption prepared remotely by a captioner to be repositioned by someone other than the captioner, such as by a program originator. This capability is particularly useful when, for example, the program originator wishes to include a banner in a video but also wishes to avoid having a closed caption interfere with the banner. In one illustrative system, the program originator is a broadcast station that includes a conventional encoder and a broadcast station computer. In one arrangement, control data generated at the station computer is incorporated into the caption data by the station computer in another arrangement, the control data is sent from the station computer to the captioner computer, which incorporates the control data into the caption data.

Abstract: The invention relates to metal-forming process. The inventive method for producing forging consists in heating a billet and forging said billet with the aid of a press provided with two manipulators in several passes by four-side reduction in four-headed forging devices associated with macro-shears of metal in a transversal direction with respect to the plane of the billet.  Forging is carried out within an acceptable temperature range in two stages i.e. a rough forging is carried out in the first stage, at the second stage, a final forging is carried out by enclosing from 40 to 100 % of the perimeter of the cross-section of the billet by each pair of the working surfaces of the heads for each single reduction. The inventive forging system comprises a forging press provided with top and bottom plates which have locks for arranging and fixing forging tools, a movable tool table for positioning changeable forging tools thereon which are embodied in the form of two or more four-headed forging devices and one or two manipulators. One or more four-headed forging devices for rough forging and one four-headed forging device for final forging are disposed on the positions of the tool table. The free space between the heads of the final forging device within the cross section thereof, when the heads are in the closed position, is selected such that it is 1.1-1.4 times less than the free space between the heads of the rough forging device. The working surface of each head of the rough forging device is embodied in the form of a plane parallel to the reference plane of the head, and two lateral planes adjacent thereto and arranged on two sides thereof at an angle of 135-170~.
