Patent EP-0738551-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BYRNE DARREN S
IPC: B21J15/06
Filed: 1996-04-15
Abstract: A blind rivet set verification system for setting a blind rivet assessing the acceptability of the rivet set. The system includes a remote intensified rivet setting tool and computer hardware and software. The tool comprises a displacement transducer that produces a displacement signal and a pressure transducer that produces a pressure signal. The transducers are connected to the computer which receives the distinct signals. These signals are interpreted to plot a displacement-versus pressure waveform and to determine the velocity of the movement of an air piston that responds to the rivet set by hydraulic pressure. Using the combined date of the velocity waveform and the displacement-versus pressure waveform, the breakload is identified and compared against predetermined ideal data to assess the acceptability of the set. The displacement reading at break is corrected for jaw slippage and offset of the air piston.

Abstract: The method measures the spacing of vehicles in front of the control vehicle and involves estimating the predicted track of the vehicle during cornering. The rate of cornering is determined by measuring the differences in the speed of the wheels on one axle. This provides a direct measurement without any additional (lateral) sensors. The speed of each wheel is determined by measuring the signals reflected off irregularities on each wheel and by comparing the elapsed time between each group of signals, corresponding to each full revolution of the wheel. The regularities need not be regularly spaced e.g. existing wheel profiles can be used.

A stretching machine, especially for biaxial stretching of thermoplastic films, has two upper and two lower pairs of horizontal guide rolls which are in permanent contact with the sprung free ends of the guide rail bands (1a) irrespective of the operational condition of the stretching calipers. Preferably the spring component (1a) arches outwards from an imaginary middle axis over the entire length of the guide rail (1), the inner radius of curvature being  NOTLESS  3000mm. One or more of either the outer or inner steel bands may act as the spring component. In the alternative version the spacer may be symmetrically or asymmetrically located between the spring steel bands and has a lower height than the latter.
