Patent EP-0574831-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VANNELLI ANTHONY
IPC: G06V10/56
Filed: 1993-06-09
Abstract: Described herein is an automated quality inspection station for evaluating color component characteristics of a product. The inspection station includes a color video camera, for capturing video frames of product images, and a control system for analyzing those video frames. The control system is programmed to perform a reference calibration and then a sample calibration. During the reference calibration an operator identifies component type areas from a displayed reference frame of a typical product assortment. The control system calculates color value density curves from the identified areas. The density curves are then calibrated to each other by scaling each of the density curves by a scaling factor. The scaling factors can either be provided directly by the operator or default values can be calculated by the control system. Default scaling factor values are calculated by summing the product of the corresponding density curve and an overall histogram of a sample video frame over a range of color values. Individual pixels are classified as one of a plurality of component types according to the highest calibrated density curve at the pixels' color value.

Inventor: SOGA TOMITATU
IPC: H05K13/02
Filed: 1993-12-10
Abstract: The chip component supply equipment of the invention comprises: 
   a container box 2 for storing chip components 1 in pieces, 
   means for conveying chip components 1 from the container box 2 onto a conveyor belt 7, 
   a conveyor belt 7 moving intermittently for conveying the transferred chip components 1 toward a take-out port where a vacuum suction nozzle 15 of an electronic component placement machine takes out chip components, and 
   a stopper 12 positioned at the take-out port for stopping the chip components 1 conveyed by the conveyor belt 7 at the take-out port, 
   wherein the stopper 12 moves and departs from the take-out port when the conveyor belt 7 finishes intermittent motion and stops, and returns and is positioned at the take-out port before the next chip component 1 conveyed by next intermittent motion of the conveyor belt 7 reaches the take-out port. 
     The vacuum suction nozzle of the electronic component placement machine takes out the chip component at the take-out port when the conveyor belt is stopped and the stopper is apart from the take-out port. 
     Since the conveyor belt 7 is stopped, the chip component at the take-out port is not pushed by the succeeding chip component or is not moved by the vibration of the conveyor belt 7. This facilitates the work of the vacuum suction nozzle to take out the chip component. Furthermore, since the stopper is apart from the take-out part, there is no risk of interference of the vacuum suction nozzle and the chip component to be taken out with the stopper, and irregular chip components will not cause jamming in the take-out port. The benefits also contribute to the ease of work of the vacuum suction nozzle to take out the chip components.

Abstract: A compound superconducting wire comprising a matrix of CuX alloy and a multiplicity of Z₃X filaments embedded in the matrix in a spaced relationship so as not to come into contact with each other wherein X is Sn or Ga and Z₃X is Nb₃Sn or V₃Ga, which is prepared according to an internal diffusion process from (1) a precursor wire comprising a Cu base metal matrix, a core of a base metal material X such as Sn arranged in the center portion of the wire and a multiplicity of filaments of a base metal material Z such as Nb arranged concentrically in layers around the core, in which the spacing between any adjacent filaments arranged in a boundary region of an ε -phase bronze layer having a certain radius from the center produced when the precursor is preheat-treated at a temperature of 300° to 600°C is made larger than the spacing between any adjacent filaments arranged in the other matrix regions so that the filaments do not come into contact with each other when heat-treated to convert the precursor into a superconducting wire; or (2) a precursor wire wherein a composite of a Cu base metal material and a base metal material X capable of forming an alloy with the Cu base metal material is used as a matrix without arranging a core of the base metal material X at the center, and a multiplicity of filaments of a base metal material Z are embedded in the composite in a spaced relationship. Since the filaments are prevented from contacting each other in the heat treatment step, the effective filament diameter is remarkably decreased, thus hysteresis loss is decreased to improve the stability of superconducting coils, and also the critical current density Jc and uniformity of the wire are improved.

Abstract: A precision belt hole sensor and associated conditioning circuitry provides precise trigger signals that enable synchronous printing in a color printer. An image bar recording system, which, in a preferred embodiment, utilizes a plurality of LED image bars, forms a plurality of latent images on a moving photoreceptor which may subsequently be developed in different colors. A pair of sensors associated with each printbar views illuminated pixels at the end of a printbar, through a pair of oppositely aligned photoreceptor holes. The signals detected by the sensor are amplified and processed to provide inputs to a comparitor circuit which generates an output signal at a time which precisely defines the passage of the trailing edge of the hole, past the sensors. The signal from the comparitor is used to accomplish skew registration of the printbar and to provide sync signals to enable precise formation of the leading edge of the associated image frame.

Abstract: A railway car with a slackless drawbar arrangement for unit trainservice and the like is provided and includes a drawbar (15) having a section (50) which is fabricated. The fabricated intermediate section (50) is cut from a section of seamless pipe or tubing or can be fabricated from plate, while the coupling end pieces (16,18) attached to each end of the shank are at least partially cast members made from typical casting methods. The coupling end pieces can be cast into standard fixed or rotatable drawbar ends or even be a combination thereof with rotational capability. The geometric shape of the intermediate section is varied, depending upon the application, so that resistance to torsional or bending loads is maximized. The fabricated shank portion is hollow, as is part of the body of the coupling end pieces, thereby reducing the railcar's weight and costs to manufacture.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un appareil de mesure permettant de déterminer le réglage du volume de déplacement de machines à pistons axiaux de tout type, dont le volume de déplacement peut être réglé à des valeurs différentes par un organe de réglage déplaçable. A cet effet, l'appareil comprend une surface de contact couplée avec l'organe de réglage de façon à se déplacer avec lui, et un ensemble de détection comportant au moins un palpeur pour détecter les variations de la position de la surface de contact, le palpeur et la surface de contact étant chacun en contact mutuel avec un point de contact. Pour observer avec cet appareil de mesure également des fonctions ayant des courses différentes, l'invention propose que, pour le déplacement commun avec l'organe de réglage (1), l'orientation de la surface de contact (9) puisse tourner autour d'un axe de rotation (A) disposé à une certaine distance (x, r) du point de contact (22, 23; 26, 27; 34, 35).
