Abstract: The equipment includes a vertical guide tube (1) with an inlet (G) for the insertion of cups, and a waste bin in which they are received. The cup passes detection bars (IR1-3) to monitor its passage through the chute, which is used for collection of cups after vending of drinks. The collection equipment comprises a guide tube (1) which is mounted vertically, or nearly vertical with an inlet (G) for the insertion of cups, and a waste bin in which they are received. The tube is of a diameter to ensure that the cup is guided down in the upright position, falling into the waste bin at the bottom. The cup includes an invisible marking, formed with an ink which is not seen under normal white light, but may be detected under IR light. The cup passes a first detection bar (IR1) near to the inlet (G), and then passes a light transmitting source (LL) and a light detector (LD) so that its passage can be read. the cup finally reaches two further detectors (IR2 and IR3) near to the bottom of the chute. A pivoting finger (D) controls the access to the tube just beneath the inlet (G).

Abstract: A device for supporting an optical fibre in a perimeter barrier is disclosed. The device has a pair of arms (207) and (208) which are pivotally mounted on a pivot pin (225) and which are biased into a predetermined orientation by springs (210, 211/302, 310). The arms (207) and (208) support a fibre (250) which is connected to the arms in a predetermined configuration. The arms carry support portions (200, 201) which connect to wires (12a) and (12b) of the perimeter. If the wires are pulled apart, one of the arms (207) or (208) moves relative to the other arm against the bias of the spring (213, 214) or (302, 310) to move the fibre supported on the arms to cause an alarm to be generated. If the wire is cut, the spring biases one of the arms into moving relative to the other arm to also cause the alarm to be generated. However, if the wires (12a) and (12b) expand or contract due to changes in temperature, the arms (207) and (208) are pivoted on the pivot pin (225) in a fixed manner relative to one another so that the fibre is not disturbed, and therefore an alarm is not generated.

Abstract: The present invention concerns forming wire coils by simultaneously winding a plurality of wires onto a dynamo-electric machine component. In order to maximize the amount of wire that can be placed in the spacings of the dynamo-electric machine component, the turns of the wire coil must be regularly disposed without twisting the plurality of wires onto each other. Current winding apparatus may allow certain portions of the wire turns to unevenly accumulate and locally bulge outward from the collection of wire coils. Such bulges, especially in consideration of the limited spacings available on an dynamo-electric machine component, may interfere with or access to the spacings by a wire dispensing member during the winding process. The present invention proposes to perform multiple-wire winding processes that avoid wire twisting and improper disposition of the wires. Further, the present invention proposes to improve the ability of the wire dispensing member to traverse the spacings on the component. As a consequence, the winding processes performed with the present invention are less likely to be hindered by interference and are capable of obtaining more wire fill within the component spacings and higher winding speeds. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An induction furnace capable of operation at temperatures of over 3100° C. has a cooling assembly ( 60 ), which is selectively mounted to an upper end of the furnace wall ( 76 ). The cooling assembly includes a dome ( 62 ), which is actively cooled by cooling water coils ( 68 ). During the cool-down portion of a furnace run, cooling initially proceeds naturally, by conduction of heat away from the hot zone through a furnace insulation layer ( 58 ). Once the temperature within the furnace hot zone ( 20 ) reaches about 1500° C., a lifting mechanism ( 80 ), mounted to the dome, raises a cap ( 16 ) of the furnace slightly, allowing hot gases from the hot zone to mix with cooler gas in the dome. This speeds up cooling of the hot zone, reducing cool-down times significantly, without the need for encumbering the furnace itself with valves or other complex cooling mechanisms which have to be replaced periodically. The life of a graphite furnace susceptor ( 10 ) at the high operating temperature is increased by surrounding the susceptor with a barrier layer ( 40 ) of flexible graphite, which inhibits evaporation of the graphite. Additionally, witness disks ( 154 ), placed within the susceptor, provide an accurate temperature profile of the hot zone.

There is further provided a second deflecting unit including a second working element being normally disposed in a second static position relative to the conveying path for applying a second thrust against a loaded area of the article intermediary portion, to produce an article deflection of a second magnitude, wherein the second position differs from the first position relative to the conveying path by a differential value. The apparatus further comprises load cells coupled to the bearing unit for generating signals indicative of respective magnitudes the first and second thrusts as applied by first and second deflecting units, and a computer for deriving from such signals and differential value an indication of the stiffness of the article, such as modulus of elasticity E.
