Title: Systems and methods for identifying and controlling interfaces between blood components
Inventor: ROSINKO MICHAEL J
IPC: G01N15/05
Filed: 1996-05-22
Abstract: Systems and methods locate at least three spaced apart sensing units in association with volume of blood comprising a first blood component region, a second blood component region, and an interface region between the first and second blood component regions. The systems and methods locate at least one of the sensing units so that its optical field lies above the interface region and at least one of the sensing units so that its optical field lies below the interface region. Each sensing unit senses the attenuation of energy emitted into blood in its optical field and generates a signal relating to the attenuation. The systems and methods convert the signals to a signal vector of signal values having a shape approximated by a function. The systems and methods normalize the signal vector, and also create a vector of convolution signal values by multiplying the normalized signal vector by the function. The systems and methods identify the sensing unit associated with the highest convolution signal value. It is this sensing unit that lies closest to the interface. The systems and methods can limit the signal values of the signal vector according to prescribed criteria that eliminate the effect of noise.

Title: Adjustable slotter wheel and sheet feeder retrofit apparatus for box blank making machines
Inventor: HILL ALAN M
IPC: B31B50/06
Filed: 1994-05-10
Abstract: Box blank-forming apparatus (60) is provided which includes a feeder assembly (62) and a scoring/slotting assembly (64) each provided with adjustment structure (62a, 64a) to facilitate makeready adjustment of the apparatus (60) between production runs. The feeder assembly (62) preferably includes a reciprocal pusher element (170) operable to successively engage sheets (30) to be formed into box blanks (36). The element (170) is supported by a pair of elongated, threaded, axially rotatable, fore and aft translatable positioning screws (146, 148), so that upon rotation of the screws (146, 148), a reference position of the pusher element (170) may be varied. Adjustment of the assembly (64) is accomplished by means of compensators (292, 294) which are respectively coupled to associated slotter wheel and scoring wheel shafts (288, 286). Operation of the slotter wheel shaft compensator (294) serves to adjust the circumferential positions of the fixed slotter knives (358), whereas operation of the scoring shaft compensator (292) varies the position of the adjustable knives (360) through the medium of transfer gears (384). Servo-sensors (438-442, 446-448 and 270) are used to continuously monitor the lateral and circumferential positions of the scoring/slotting stations (296-304) and a reference position of the pusher element (172), so that precise makeready adjustments can be accomplished. <IMAGE>

Title: Improved capo
Inventor: SHUBB RICHARD
IPC: G10D3/04
Filed: 1998-04-29
Abstract: An improved capo for use with various stringed instruments is provided. The capo comprises a frame having a top arm to contact the strings and a side arm, with a jaw member and a lever member both pivotally attached to the side arm. The jaw member contacts the back of the instrument neck when the capo is closed.

Title: Spindle disc for high speed can decorators
Inventor: WILLIAMS ROBERT
IPC: B41F17/22
Filed: 1998-06-02
Abstract: A mandrel/spindle disc for a continuous motion can decorator includes a plurality of relatively lightweight mandrel assemblies mounted on a rotating carrier with equal angular spacings between adjacent assemblies. The assemblies reciprocate radially with respect to the carrier axis as a center. Each assembly includes a base and two guide rods that extend radially inward from the base and are received by sleeve bushings that are disposed in radial holes extending inward from the carrier periphery. A plurality of relatively small grease pools are formed by small transverse holes, each of which extend forward from the rear of the carrier disc to engage the inner ends of four bushing holes. Vacuum and air pressure are fed to each mandrel assembly through a flexible hose having a large loop therein. The base of the assembly is made compact so that when decorations are being applied to a particular can the mandrel supporting that particular can moves relatively close to the radially outward end of the bushings thereby reducing bending moments acting between the assembly guide shafts and their bushings. These bushings extend radially outward of the carrier periphery, being received by undercuts in washer-like retainers that are piloted on the bushings to help position sealing rings that are mounted under the inside of the retainers.
