Abstract: The operation of a coin testing apparatus is checked by switching the apparatus to a test mode. In the test mode, the properties of items inserted into the apparatus are compared with stored «test» ranges, instead of «acceptability» ranges which are normally used to determine whether the item is a genuine coin. A specially designed non-genuine coin is then inserted into the apparatus. If the measured properties of the non-genuine coin fall within the «test» ranges, a signal is produced to indicate that the apparatus is operating correctly. If any of the properties falls outside a «test» range, but within a further, contiguous range, a signal indicates that the apparatus is working adequately, but not optimally.

Abstract: A programmable, microprocessor-based controller is responsive to a displacement command signal and first and second transport signals corresponding to the distance that glass sheets (9) are conveyed on main and auxiliary conveyors (16, 17) respectively, to provide a speed control signal to a separate, variable speed drive (31). The variable speed drive drives the auxiliary conveyor independently of the driven main conveyor (16). The variable speed drive (21) is controlled by the controller to: (1) reduce the rate of glass sheet conveyance; (2) reposition the leading and trailing glass sheets if necessary, along the direction of conveyance; and (3) insure that as each glass sheet is transferred between the main conveyor (16) and the auxiliary conveyor (17), the auxiliary conveyor (17) is driven at the same speed as the main conveyor (16).

Abstract: An automatic bending apparatus comprises a bending machine (1) provided with a bottom die (7a) and a top die (7b) for bending a plate, and a gripper (27) for holding the plate. The gripper (27) can be positioned in a vertical plane in the forward and backward direction with respect to the bending machine (1) as well as around a horizontal axis orthogonally intersecting with the vertical plane. When the plate is bent by lowering of the top die (7b) or lifting of the bottom die (7a), the ends of the plate rise. In order to make the gripper (27) follow up the rising motion, positioning of the gripper (27) is controlled successively based on the position data concerning the lowering of the top die (7b) or the lifting of the bottom die (7a).

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for indicating an operating characteristic of a periodically combusting internal combustion engine, such as a diesel engine, having exhaust gas issuing from one or more combustion chambers in a periodic manner through a duct. The particulate in the exhaust gas stream are electrically charged and of the same polarity, and are grouped in packets associated with the periodic combustion in the respective chambers. An electrically conductive, passive eletrode, preferably annular in shape, is disposed such that most or all of the exhaust gas flows therethrough so as to electrostatically sense, principally by induced image charge, the passage of the respective packets of charged particles. The electrode is electrically isolated from the duct. Circuitry with the probe converts the sensed induced image charge to a signal containing a series of pulsating components corresponding in time with the respective particle packets and corresponding quantitatively with the charge-quantity of the respective particle packets. An indicating device responds to the pulsating signal and provides an indication of an operating characteristic of the engine. 
     The electrode is preferably of short axial extent relative to the packet interval to enhance resolution. Structure and circuitry may be provided to minimize soot deposition and/or leakage currents across an insulator between the electrode and duct. In one instance, the indicating device may respond to the root mean square of the pulsating signal to provide a quantitative indication of the level of particulate in the exhaust gas stream. In another instance, the successive pulsations of the signal waveform may be displayed to afford evaluation of the performance of the respective combustion chambers and/or injectors.

Abstract: An improved technique is presented for organizing digitized information for storage in a relational type tree memory structure where the digitized information is broken up into blocks of a fixed byte size which are then stored throughout the memory. A header is utilized which identifies a text or image and details of how the image was digitized and compressed, to be used in reconstructing the image properly. An index is also utilized in which is the image or text identity but also in which is an index identifying the locations throughout the memory at which the blocks containing the text or image information is stored. Each block has a header identifying what text or image information is , stored in the block and having the address of any another block containing related information for the same text or image to thereby create a chaining between the blocks by which they may all be quickly located once a first block is located using the index. A further embodiment of invention allows the storing and display of a base image containing user defined and located subfields and the selective insertion of related data or images, either previously stored or entered by the user, into the subfields. A yet further embodiment allows the use of data contained in the subfields as keys to locate and display further related information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fan drive, in particular one for cooling installations of rail vehicles. The fan drive comprises a hydraulic motor and a control valve which regulates a bypass as a function of temperature, thus affecting the flow of a pressure medium driving the motor. The control valve comprises a control piston subjected to a control pressure in the direction of closing the bypass, and a counterbalancing pressure in the opposite direction from the source of the pressure medium. The control valve also comprises a control spring which biases the control piston in the direction of closing the valve, and a pilot valve which affects the control pressure. The pilot valve is actuated by an electromechanical servo component. The pilot valve is located in an insert which is arranged within the control piston. A central bore of the control piston is slidingly guided on the convex surface of the insert so as to form a seal.

Abstract: An economical process for producing metal plated through holes in metal core circuit boards is claimed which permits the formation of small holes and fine conductor lines. A metal sheet, which will become the core of a metal core circuit board, is provided with insulation layers on both sides, and through holes are provided through the insulation layers. The process involves incorporating fillers in a resinous coating solution which is electrophoretically applied to the hole walls to form an insulating layer of uniform thickness thereon. An increased diameter in the metal hole portion of each hole acts to restrict flow of the filled resinous solution during cure resulting in a straight hole wall. The coating is adhesion promoted and a metal layer is deposited thereon.

Abstract: 57 Method and apparatus for ultrasonically inspecting coextruded plastic sheet as it is produced. 
     The apparatus comprises means for supporting a section of sheet in position to be inspected, and means for supporting transducer means in contact with the surface of said sheet. The transducer means comprises at least one housing supporting an ultrasonic transducer and defining a chamber between the face of the transducer and the surface of the sheet. The chamber is filled with an interfacing fluid so that ultrasonic pulses from the transducer will pass through the fluid into the sheet to be reflected from any interface therein. The transducer means and interfacing fluid are moved across the surface of the sheet to permit inspection of the entire sheet. Thus, it is unnecessary to submerge the sheet in a vat of interfacing liquid or to bend or otherwise deform, and possibly damage, the sheet as is done in current systems. The apparatus further includes means within said chamber for directing interfacing fluid substantially transversely across the face of the transducer for washing away any air bubbles that may form in the interfacing fluid between the transducer and the surface, together with means for maintaining a substantially continuous flow of the fluid thereacross. 
     The ultrasonic pulse echoes received from the sheet are analyzed to provide an indication of the presence and thickness of layers therein.
