Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           An apparatus for reproducing and/or recording magnetic tape in cassettes, of the type particularly adapted to be mounted on autovehicles, comprises  a cassette receptacle and a mechanism-carrier plate, onto which there are mounted the tape reel driving shaft and the drive capstan, which carrier plate is hingedly con-nected to the cassette receptacle so as to be movable parallelly towards and away from same.  The moving away or uncoupling of the mechanism-carrier plate from the cassette receptacle is caused by the inward movement of a control slide, which is operatively associ-ated with the said carrier plate and with another carrier element carrying the magnetic head and the tape pinch roller, said last mentioned carrier element being also movable towards and away with respect to the side of the cassette receptacle.  The approaching movement, or coupling, of the carrier plate towards the cassette receptacle inside which there is being inserted a cassette, is caused by the insertion of the cassette, which abuts against an actuating element thus releasing a locking device which was keep-ing the cassette receptacle and the carrier plate spaced apart from each other, against the action of a spring.

Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE LOCATION        OF THE CHIP LEVEL IN A PULPING DIGESTER               Abstract A pulping digester contains a liquid digesting medium and wood chips dispersed in the medium.  The level of the wood chips in the digester is normally below the top of the digester.  As chips and digesting medium are fed to the digester and as pulp and digesting medium are withdrawn from the digester, the chip level will vary dependent upon the net addition of chips and withdrawal of pulp.  The variable location of the chip level, or chip height, is determined by positioning a temperature sensing means in the upper portion of the digester above the normally desired chip level.  The temperature sensed by the sensing means is displayed to and monitored by the digester operator.  As the chip level rises toward the temperature sensor, the sensed temperature will fall until the chip level rises above the location of the temperature sensor, after which the sensed temperature will rapidly increase as the chip level continues to rise above the location of the sensing means.  The inverse relationship is true as the chip level falls, providing a characteristic curve of temperature versus chip level from which the chip height can be determined.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE         A conveyor defines a plane in which elongated work-pieces, substantially parallel to one another, are transported transversely to their lengths through a measuring zone at which each workpiece is illuminated from above and lengthwise scanned by an array camera.  A pit at the measuring zone has its bottom below said plane and in shadow, to provide a strongly contrasting background for the workpiece being scanned.  To accommodate skewed workpieces, the array camera makes repeated scans of each workpiece as it passes the measuring zone, and data from such scanning is stored in a computer memory.  Detectors cooperate with the array camera  and the computer, signaling entry of each work-piece into the measuring zone and its departure therefrom.          Thickness of each workpiece is measured near the measuring zone; and in calculating length of a workpiece from the stored scanning data for it, compensation is made for scanning parallax due to thickness.
