Abstract: 1277970 Sealing and separating packages CAMPBELL TAGGART ASSOCIATED BAKERIES Inc 30 Dec 1969 63256/69 Heading B8C Packaging apparatus comprises guide means for guiding sheet film material between upper and lower members, one of which is provided with a sealing bar and a heated cutting member which is arranged to sever the film material between spaced portions sealed by the sealing bar. As shown, sheets 1, 2 of plastics material are drawn over rollers 3, 4 with bakery products (not shown) therebetween, and on to a pick-up bar 5 having a resilient upper part 6 providing a channel 9. An upper bar 10 supports a sealing bar 17 having sealing surfaces 18a and between which moves a heated cutting bar 20. The sealing bar 17 is heated by radiation of heat produced in the cutting bar 20. In operation, movement of the bars 5 and 10 towards each other brings jaws 12a, 13a into contact with the film and presses it on to the upper part 6 of bar 5, the sealing bar 17 moves downwardly into contact with the film above the channel 9 and thereafter the cutting bar moves downwardly to sever the sealed films in the area between the side walls of the channel 9. The movement of the bars 5 and 10 which may be timed automatically is controlled by arms 37, 38 in any suitable manner and movement of the cutting bar 20 is controlled by a solenoid 31a which may be energized automatically in timed relation to operation of the sealing bar. Specification 3,508,378 is referred to.

Patent GB-2039044-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for ultrasonic measurement of thickness
IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 1980-01-07
Abstract: An ultrasonic thickness meter provides one or both of two improved operational facilities. The first enables the meter to be zeroed at will to allow for the acoustic transit time of the stand-off material of the probe, allowing the meter to be used with different probes. The second enables the operator at the flick of a switch to display the difference 'plus or minus' between the thickness of a workpiece being measured and that of a set standard. The meter includes means to duplicate the acoustic transit time of a zero block or standard block electronically as a first time-value signal and means to set up a second time-value signal representing the time from excitation of the transmitter crystal to receipt of the first return echo from the far side of the zero block or standard block. These time- value signals are combined under the control of manually operated switches to zero the meter or offset the meter to the set standard.
