Abstract: A device is disclosed for detecting the presence and direction of air flow through a passageway 28 having a first opening 30 and a second opening 32 for air to flow therethrough in either a first direction or a second direction. The device comprises a piezoelectric sensor 36 located within the passageway. A flow director 40, 42 is provided within the passageway for directing air flow through the passageway for impingement upon the sensor. The sensor generates a first electrical signal when air flows through the passageway in the first direction and a second electrical signal when air flows through the passageway in the second direction. A discriminator is electrically connected to the sensor for receiving the first and second electrical signals and for discriminating between the two signals to identify the direction of air flow through the passageway.

Abstract: A nondestructive method and apparatus is disclosed for determining the thickness and composition of a zinc phosphate layer applied to a metal surface, such as sheet metal on an automotive assembly line. The phosphate layer is irradiated with infrared light which is at least partially transmitted through the phosphate layer. Reflections from the upper and lower surfaces of the phosphate layer return a total reflected intensity which is a function of the optical parameters of the phosphate components and the ratio of the components corresponding to the optical parameters. In the event, for example, that a phosphate layer includes two zinc phosphate components, the measure of reflected intensity at two separate wavelengths will be different inasmuch as the optical properties of the zinc phosphate components is also a function of frequency. The measured reflected intensity and its functional dependence upon the ratio of the components within the phosphate layer can be taken together with the known values of the optical parameters of each component to compute the fraction of each component within the phosphate layer.

Abstract: In a device for printing labels in labelling machines with a stamp head (5), an ink roller (6) and, acting on this, an endlessly revolving ink ribbon (7), the drive of the ink ribbon is carried out by a separate auxiliary motor (28) independently of the main motor (25) of the labelling machine. As a result, with the ink roller stationary, e.g. in the event of an emergency stop, the ink ribbon can continue to be driven. Drying in of the printing ink on the ink ribbon is consequently reliably prevented and it is possible to begin printing immediately even after long interruptions in operation. <IMAGE>
