Title: Color sorting apparatus
IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 1989-04-11
Abstract: An apparatus for sorting objects by color, such as 
coffee beans, peanuts, beans and other small granular 
objects. The apparatus includes a means of conveying the 
objects, uniformly and individually, to the interior of an 
illuminated analysis chamber that contains one or more 
sorting channels. Each sorting channel contains at least one 
lens group connected to photodetectors. The photodetectors 
are interconnected to electronic circuitry capable of 
transforming light reflected, transmitted or emitted by the 
objects into analog electrical signals that are digitized 
through electrical level detectors. Color analysis of the 
objects is based on a matrix sorting process that identifies 
color by comparing the above digitized electrical signals to 
the contents of a sorting matrix. There is also a matrix 
apparatus that allows the operator to select, modify, create 
and display the sorting matriz. There is a means of 
automatically generating the sorting matrix based on a 
sampling of electrical signals produced by passing a group of 
objects with specific color characteristics through the 
analysis chamber. Microprocessors in a process controller 
operating on real time are utilized. Adopting the matrix 
sorting process, this controller classifies objects as 
acceptable or unacceptable, as well as controlling and 
supervising all electronic apparatuses linked to the 
photodetectors. The process controller operates in every 
sorting channel so as to ensure that article sorting will be 
based on the matrix process and the sorting matrix.

mould 1 by inserrting the core 3 of the mould 1, preferably 
using a core 3 in which a central part 9 enters the mould 1 
and partially stretches the film 14 prior to the remainder 5 
of the core 3 entering the mould 1. The mould 1 is then 
closed, excess film 14 is trimmed off and polymer is injected 
into the mould cavity 17,18. The resultant article is a 
multi-layered injection moulded article which, depending on 
the characteristics of the film and injected polymer, may 
have barrier properties to oxygen, liquids or the like that 
are superior to articles moulded from only the polymer. The 
process is particularly useful in the moulding of containers 
having a depth:width ratio of at least 0.5.

Patent EP-0382698-A3 (EP)
Title: Disc brake arrangement
IPC: F16D65/097
Filed: 1990-02-06
Abstract: Arrangement for disc brakes having so-called floating 
suspension containing a brake disc (3) and a brake caliper (2) 
which is 
movably mounted on a caliper holder (1) for axial motions relative 
to the brake disc (3). The brake caliper (2) has at least one 
pair of 
brake pads (7,9) having friction linings (14,15) intended to be 
brought to 
bear against braking surfaces on the brake disc (3). Load-bearing 
supporting surfaces (17-20) hold the brake pads normally in their 
intended positions in the caliper (2) by absorbing the forces 
acting mainly on the brake pads (7,9) due to friction against the 
brake disc (3) by cooperating with edge surfaces on the brake 
pads (7,9). 
These supporting surfaces (17-20) extend over only a part of the space 
up to the brake disc (3) to an imaginary geometrical delimiting 
plane for each brake pad (7,9), said plane extending parallel 
to the 
brake disc (3). The brake pads (7,9) have protrusions (24,25), 
each of which 
extend into an opening (28,29) in the caliper (2) or caliper 
holder (1), one 
opening (28,29) being provided for each protrusion (24,25). The 
protrusions (24,25) 
normally maintain no load-absorbing cooperation with the 
caliper (2) or caliper holder (1) but rather have normally a play 
between parts of the protrusions (24,25) and the corresponding 
openings (28,29). The openings (28,29) extend axially closer to 
the brake disc (3) 
than the supporting surfaces (17-20) so that when the brake pads 
(7,9) and 
brake disc (3) are worn down to such a degree that the brake 
pads (7,9) 
can move axially beyond the delimiting plane for the supporting 
surfaces (17-20), said parts of the protrusions (24,25) are 
caused during 
braking, by contacting reserve supporting surfaces (30) in the 
openings (28,29), to absorb the forces acting on the brake pads 
(7,9) due to 
friction against the brake disc (3).
