Title: Process for automatically judging the quality of a printed product and apparatus for its carrying out
Inventor: HUBER JOSEF A
IPC: G07D7/20
Filed: 1979-12-12
Granted: 1982-08-19
Abstract: The differences between the scanned values of corresponding image points of a specimen and an original are formed by point-by-point scanning and comparison with an original. The difference values are subjected to a tone or shade correction, and then a weighting process and a minimum threshold correction. In the shade or tone correction, a mean value formed from the difference values in a specific surrounding area of the associated image point is subtracted from each difference value. The weighting process is effected individually for each image point and results in systematic errors and critical image zones not producing faulty assessments. The weighting factors are determined by statistical analysis of specimens which are assessed as good visually. The minimum threshold correction eleminates all those pre-treated difference values which are below a certain minimum threshold. The difference values of the points surrounding each image point are added algebraically with distance-dependent weighting to the remaining difference values of each image point. The resulting values are compared with a threshold value for each image point. If these values exceed the threshold value at least at one image point, the specimen is assessed as faulty.

Title: Sausage casing automatic closing machine
Inventor: MARTINEK THOMAS W
IPC: A22C13/00
Filed: 1980-11-06
Granted: 1984-11-08
Abstract: A system for automatically closing one end of a shirred casing strand. A strand is to be automatically presented to an associated closer mechanism (46) in alignment therewith and under a preselected pressure. A transfer device (44) is provided for receiving a doffed strand (40), transferring the strand transversely and then moving the strand longitudinally so that an end of the strand engages the closer (46). A gripping mechanism is provided which includes a pair of jaws (98) having opposing clamp elements (102) of a generally V-shape or angled cross section. The two jaws are simultaneously movable either together or apart and are urged apart by compression springs (104). A fluid cylinder-actuated linkage urges the jaws towards closed positions. By varying the closing force, the clamp members (90) can be first moved to a pre-set spacing providing a receptacle into which a doffed strand of a predetermined size may be readily slid. Then by increasing the pressure of the cylinder, the strand may be sufficiently tightly gripped to prevent relative movement during the closing operation. The closer members are separated to release a closed strand at the end of the closing operation. By varying the pressure to the cylinder in the receptacle forming stage of the clamping members, the size of the receptacle may be adjusted in accordance with variations in size of casing strands to be handled. A control system for the automatic operation of the transfer device in conjunction with the closing device is provided.

Title: Balancing system for parts of cranes and the load
Inventor: DE LILLE EDELHART
IPC: B66C23/76
Filed: 1980-10-09
Granted: 1986-04-17
Abstract: The mechanism is for maintaining balance in the pick-up of loads by hydraulic cranes or dredgers, and involves a hinged, suspended counterweight capable of balancing the supporting vessel in any position by displacement of the centre of gravity. The counterweight is also connected by rods to the front arm (4) of an articulated arm lifting mechanism (2). Via these rods (6) the centre of gravity is displaced a second time in order to balance the lifting mechanism. A final adjustment is made by the pressure in the articulated arm cylinder being transferred to an auxiliary cylinder which automatically then corrects the counterweight. The arrangement enables a 75 per cent saving in engine power for activating the crane.
