Abstract: A method of manufacturing an engraved plate used in intaglio printing, said plate being engraved by a tool, for example a laser beam, characterized in that the engraving tool uses data from a depth-map, based on a three-dimensional raster image of the document to be printed.

Abstract: The wheelchair comprises a seat and two main wheels connected by an axle. A support device, comprising an exchangeable intermediate element consisting of an elastomer element located in the lacuna provided by the spiral turns of a spring, is detachably fixed at one of its end to a chassis of the seat and at its other end to the axle through a center part attached to the middle part of the axle. The center part is arranged to receive the rear ends of the two left and right main frame tubes of the wheelchair.

Abstract: The process comprises the steps of: (a) loosening a pack of piled substrates; (b) taking a first image of the piled planar substrates, said image being made of a two-dimensional array of single image detectors arranged in lines and columns; (c) counting the number of edges of substrates detected; (d) statistically treating the result obtained from step (c); (e) based on the statistical treatment, determining whether the counting is accurate.

Abstract: The electrode wear rate is determined by using two detectors and a clock to measure the time taken for the voltage across the gap to drop between two preset values which are chosen to measure the speed in which the voltage drops from the no load voltage to the cutting voltage. This value of time is used by an arithmetic circuit which uses an exponential equation to determine the amount of material removed in a single discharge. A second arithmetic circuit is used to sum up the amount of electrode wear taking place and to supply the pulse generator with a control signal for adjusting the pulse generator as a function of the electrode wear rate.
