Abstract: Techniques for implementing Quality Assurance of the process of coding medical documents are disclosed. An audit of a coding process for a medical document is initiated by selecting and setting audit parameters. Using the selected parameters, a sample batch of coded documents is obtained from a universe of coded documents. The sample batch of coded documents is presented to auditor(s), and the auditor(s) provide corrections, which are recorded, and a score for each correction is calculated. A sample score, based on the corrections, is calculated in a manner that tracks to subjective auditor assessments of the process quality as being acceptable, marginally acceptable, or unacceptable, and which sample score accounts for the individual auditor subjectivity and an error.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assessing the effect of yarn defects on textile fabrics, which are to be produced from a given yarn, by simulating an image of the fabric. So that assessment of simulated textile fabrics may be carried out with greater reliability and more easily, a first image (51) of the fabric is generated by simulation based on parameters or measured signals of the given yarn. A second image (52) of the fabric is generated by simulation based on parameters of a reference yarn and finally the first image is compared with the second image.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for evaluating the quality of a yarn (1). In order that further aspects of the quality of a yarn may be taken into consideration and explained by measured values so that the quality of a yarn is as a whole substantially detectable, measured values relating on the one hand to the yarn exposed to friction and on the other hand to the yarn not exposed to friction are to be derived from the yarn. Both measured values are used to form a further measured value which represents a further qualitative feature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for representing properties of elongated textile test specimens such as yarns, rovings and ribbons. In order to create a method which makes values of parameters or measurement results in general ascertainable at a glance even in large numbers and nevertheless also takes differentiated account of critical and less critical parameters or measurement results, values of parameters are plotted along axes which are arranged inclined or substantially concentric relative to one another. A parameter is preferably also represented as a segment (31-36) of a circle, wherein the angle between two axes which intersect in the center of the circle and bound the segment is proportional to the importance of the parameter in a predetermined connection and the radius of the segment is proportional to the measured value for the parameter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus in which an elongated body (1) such as a yarn, a roving or a band, is measured continuously by means of a simple cost-effective sensor (5). A further, more complicated sensor (8) which works more accurately but more slowly is triggered by the simpler sensor if the latter indicates special events. These events are then stored by the complicated sensor and are subsequently analyzed accurately in a greater amount of time. The entire time span occurring between two special events can be utilized for this analysis.

Abstract: The fluctuations in cross-section of fiber slivers are detected by means of a sensor, and from these detections are derived quality parameters, one of which is based on mass non-uniformity. Measurement signals are compared with a limit value for deviations from the desired weight of the monitored sliver, which limit value is formed as a product of mass non-uniformity and a selectable limit-value factor. Any measurement exceeding the limit value is interpreted as the presence of a thick place in the fiber sliver.

Abstract: An apparatus for the motorized control of theatrical sets connected to manual lift units each comprising upper and lower pulleys upon which a line runs to raise and lower a counterweight operatively connected to a set on the stage by a plurality of lift lines is comprised of a series of upper and lower sheaves for support of an independent control line connected to the counterweight. The sheaves are positioned as to not interfere with the manually-operated lines. A drive drum and motor drive unit is associated with each upper and lower sheave, and runs the control line. The drive drums and motor drive units are arranged in a spaced array such that the drive units may be connected and discounted to the drive drums as necessary and required by a particular set configuration, thus eliminating the need for all drums of the array to be coupled to drive units at all times.

Abstract: A rapidly reacting measuring element is used at the delivery of the drafting zone on autolevelling drawframes used in the textile industry, which makes it possible to superimpose on the signal thus obtained from the measuring element by means of an electronic system a further measurement signal at the delivery of the drawing passage and thus correct the parameters governing the drafting values in such a way that even short-term variations in cross-section of the textile material are levelled out. The critical factors here are especially the delay time T of the textile material between the correcting element (pair of drafting rollers with variable speed of rotation) and the measuring element and also the overall amplification V of the measurement signal.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, measuring irregularities in the cross-section of yarns, rovings, bands and the like, by means of a preferably portable measuring apparatus or device providing a direct read-out or display and containing a measuring element, amplifying- and signal converting circuitry as well as an indicator or display device. A measuring signal derived from a yarn irregularity signal is checked with respect to the number of times it passes through at least one given reference value or hysteresis range, and the indicated value for the irregularity constitutes a statistically certain or significant value whenever the number of passes through the reference value or hysteresis range has reached at least a predetermined value.
