Abstract: An installation for charging melting furnaces is proposed, which consists of a combination of a horizontal conveyor (2) designed as a moving floor and a steep conveyor (3). The product to be conveyed (14) is extracted from a storage container (5) on the moving floor and displaced to the steep conveyor . The steep conveyor (3) has carriers (12) which transport the product to be melted (14) upwards on a sliding floor (7) to the emptying station (8). By means of this charging system (horizontal conveyor-steep conveyor), it is possible for the first time in installations of this type to carry out fully automatic furnace operation. The charging system controls and monitors itself by means of installed sensors and is integrated into the furnace process. The sensors control and monitor the levels in the furnace, in the steep conveyor and in the horizontal conveyor. As a result of this, optimum operation of the furnace installation is achieved. Errors by personnel no longer exist as no personnel are necessary. Moreover, there is also as a result optimum energy use and thus a minimum of emissions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A circuit for enabling the raster display of text or line art in one constant color against a background of another constant color or against a continuous-tone picture, or the display of a continuous-tone picture having a boundary of arbitrary shape. The circuit has four channels, one each for constant colors, continuous-tone images, image masks, and instructions. The constant colors are stored in the first channel in the form of two eight-bit colors, one for the text or line art and one for the background. Any color pair can be read from this memory, divided into two eight-bit colors, and presented at two inlets of a final multiplexer (28). The second channel stores continuous-tone color pictures and presents this information at a third inlet of the multiplexer (28). The third channel receives masks or outlines in the form of bitmaps, and the fourth channel receives instructions which may be run-length encoded. These two channels combine their data, which is then used to control the multiplexer (28).

Abstract: In such a process in which a quality signal Q is output as a function of a continuously measured process parameter, one selects a parameter of state of the forming package (33) as an indicative process parameter, one acquires same, a value derived therefrom, or the value varying with respect to time during the entire winding cycle of the formed packages (33), and one compares the values with a predetermined representative value or its tolerance range, so as to release a quality signal in the event of an undue deviation of the parameter of state or the derived value from the desired value. This [signal] may used to cause an alarm, to classify the production results of the continuously produced packages (33) and/or intervene in the process control, so as to counteract the detected deviations or tendencies to such deviations. To carry out the method, a suitable sensor winding head is described, which enables a continuous determination of the weight of packages (33) during the winding cycle.
