Title: Method for handling reels in a web-fed rotary printing press
Inventor: GERTSCH PETER
IPC: B65H19/12
Filed: 1986-09-05
Abstract: In a method for introducing a reel into a reel holder of a web-fed rotary printing press equipped with several reel holders (9) reels are brought, via a reel conveying system (2), onto a transfer station (7) in order to load and unload reels into and from the reel holders (9). Gluing points are prepared at this transfer station (7), which also acts as a storage point. A reel transfer system (8) picks up the reel and feeds it to the reel holders (9). The residual reels which arrive are conveyed by the reel transfer system (8) to a residual-reel unloading system (11), where the reel conveying system (2) is able to pick up the said reels and carry them away. <IMAGE>

Title: Material separator/breaker
Inventor: HUNT NOEL
IPC: B02C4/12
Filed: 1987-01-13
Abstract: A material separator/breaker has a material inlet opening beneath which is a rotatable drum (10) having breaker teeth secured thereon in the form of quadruple picks (11). At the input side of the drum is an adjustably pivoted biassed breaker plate (12) with holes (16) therein, the breaker plate having a free end which is formed with a regular arrangement of slots (22) open to a discharge side of the drum. At said discharge side a plurality of tines (18) are arranged, to co-operate with the picks to break material, the tines having their respective centre lines passing midway through the slots and being arranged so that they themselves pass between adjacent, axially spaced pairs of breaker teeth and/or between two adjacent, axially spaced picks of a single breaker tooth. The tines are connected together by a plate or plates (20). In use material can pass through the holes (16), through an opening defined between the breaker plate and the tines, said opening including the slots, and between the tines. Any slurry in the material fed to the inlet and which would otherwise adhere to the drum and teeth is removed by this arrangement of tines, and mostly passes through said opening which includes the slots. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2186370-A (GB)
Title: Surface profile measurement
Inventor: BELLWOOD PHILIP ROSE
IPC: G01B7/28
Filed: 1987-01-30
Abstract: A yoke 12 having two fixed feet 22, 24 is held in contact with the workpiece 10 as it is rotated. A dynamic probe 18 is mounted on the yoke by means of a transducer 20 which outputs a signal S. The fixed feet and the foot of the dynamic probe have a similar shape and size so that they detect irregularities in the workpiece surface with equal sensitivity. Fourier analysis of the signal S enables the profile of the workpiece to be determined. In order to improve the frequency response of the transducer output the angles between the dynamic probe and the fixed probes are unequal. Two spaced apart yokes, with respective feet and probe, may be used to measure eccentricity and taper. <IMAGE>

Title: Seeding machines
Inventor: HAMILTON THOMAS WILLIAM
IPC: A01C7/04
Filed: 1987-04-11
Abstract: A seeding machine has a drum (8) and roller (10) urged together to define a seed trough (22). Bristles (26) close one end of the trough (22) and a hopper (24) adjacent that end feeds a continuous supply of seeds to the trough (22). The seeds flow along the length of the trough (22) and are discharged at the opposite end of the trough (22) which is open. A funnel (30) collects the discharged seeds and returns them to the hopper (24). The drum (8) is provided with a series of axially extending rows of holes which are coupled to a vacuum source as each row passes through the tumbling seeds in the trough (22). A single seed is attracted to each hole and is carried by the drum to a discharge location where the hole in question is disconnected from the vacuum source and instead connected to a source of pressure which then acts to eject the seed from the drum (8).

Title: Method of cutting workpiece
Inventor: SATO YASUO
IPC: C03B33/033
Filed: 1988-01-28
Abstract: A workpiece e.g. of glass, having one surface on which incision is previously formed is placed on a flat plate which has a Young's modulus smaller than that of the workpiece and which is placed on a surface plate, so that the surface having the incision of the workpiece faces the upper surface of the flat plate. A pressing load is then applied downwardly through a pressing member to the surface opposite to the surface having the incision of the workpiece locally along the incision. The workpiece is thus cut by the bending moment due to the difference of the Young's moduli of the workpiece and the flat plate without generating noises and forming chips. …<IMAGE>…

Title: Detecting roll angle of a borehole tool
Inventor: PARFITT RICHARD JOHN
IPC: E21B47/024
Filed: 1992-01-24
Abstract: A method of detecting the roll angle of a borehole tool, comprising providing first and second sensors (2, 3) fixed in relation to each other by a housing (1) attachable to a borehole tool by means of a connection (4) and attachable to the drill string by means of a second connection (5). The tool is advanced into the borehole in a series of steps, each step being equal in length to the spacing between the sensors (2, 3) and at each step the sensors are used to detect a vector field having a component transverse to the longitudinal axis of the borehole. By comparing each reading of the uppermost sensor with the preceding reading of the lower sensor, the angle through which the tool has rotated during each insertion step can be found and by integrating these angles the total angular displacement of the tool from its initial position can be determined. There is also described a method of determining the depth of a borehole, by withdrawing the tool and continuously recording the readings from the first and second sensors. Comparison of the two real-time recordings allows determination of the speed of the tool through the borehole, and integration of the instantaneous speed measurements can provide a determination of the depth of the borehole.
