  • Patent number: 11796754
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method of controlling a strander by wireless visual monitoring. In certain embodiments, a stranding system includes at least one vision device mounted to a rotating structure of a strander. The at least one vision device is configured to capture a view of at least a portion of a subunit reel of at least one of a set of payoff units of the rotating structure to generate vision data. The stranding system further includes at least one wireless communication module mounted to the rotating structure to receive and wirelessly transmit the vision data over a high-bandwidth data link. The stranding system is configured to proactively identify payout hazards of the subunit package (e.g., cable crossover) to, for example, prevent damage to the strander.

  • Patent number: 10161903
    Abstract: An electroblotting system including a cassette configured to receive a membrane and a material impregnated with at least one of proteins or nucleic acids. The cassette is connectable to a base such that a current is passable through the cassette to cause at least some of the proteins or nucleic acids to be transferred from the impregnated material to the membrane. The cassette has a first portion, a second portion configured to be releasably coupled to the first portion, and a coupling mechanism configured to releasably couple the first portion to the second portion. The cassette further includes an actuator operatively coupled to the coupling mechanism such that manual depression of the actuator causes the coupling mechanism to release the first portion relative to the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20180005292
    Abstract: A method of detecting attempts by online sellers to sell counterfeit goods on the internet, or to sell goods which they are not authorised to sell, is described. The user of a browser-enabled device when viewing a target website can determine whether the target website content is authorised or not. The browser may have a plug-in which allows the user to capture data from a target website, and send the data to a secure server which has access to or which stores data from the legitimate content owner or user. The data is then analysed to determine whether its use on the target website is authorised or legitimate, or not, and a warning or clearance message can then be sent from the secure server to the browser-enabled device to display that message to the user.

  • Publication number: 20160140790
    Abstract: A method is provided for detecting value labels that have been re-used, that have a surface containing a luminescent substance, and that have been applied to mailpieces that are to be transported. These mailpieces pass through a sorting system in which the presence of value labels that have a surface containing luminescent particles which are distributed essentially evenly is checked. The mailpiece having such a surface is conveyed to a marking device. Here, the substrate in the form of the surface of the value label containing luminescent particles which are distributed essentially evenly is irradiated with high-energy radiation. In this process, wherever the radiation strikes the substrate, the luminescence of the particles is destroyed to such an extent that they are no longer detected as being luminescent when they pass through the sorting system once again.
