  • Publication number: 20240166450
    Abstract: An inspection apparatus, for inspection of cased goods, includes at least one conveyor, at least one camera for capturing case image data of each of the cased goods advanced with the at least one conveyor past the inspection apparatus, and a processor configured to receive the case image data from the at least one camera. The processor is configured to characterize, from the case image data, a case exterior protrusion of the case good as a case flap in open condition, wherein the processor is configured to resolve the case image data and determine the case exterior protrusion is a coherent planar surface, and is programmed with a parameter array of physical characteristic parameters that describe case flap coherency attributes determinative of the coherent planar surface defining an open case flap condition.

  • Patent number: 7328883
    Abstract: A coupling release component for releasabley coupling a shaft of a motor to a further shaft for rotation of the further shaft by the motor shaft having a rotation lock component having an axially disposed first gripping device for connecting the lock to the shaft for inducing rotation of said lock by said motor, a slip coupling component having a second gripping component disposed radially outwardly relative to the first gripping component configured to releasabley interlock with a corresponding third gripping component of a further coupling component for connecting the coupling release component to said further shaft for the rotation thereof and a resilient mounting component mounting said second gripping component to said first gripping component so as to be able to exert a radially outward force on the second gripping component so as to radially bias the second gripping component into interlocking engagement with the third gripping component.
