  • Apparatus and method for monitoring the moisture gradient in a moving web
    Patent number: 3981082
    Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed for detecting the moisture gradient in a moving web. A radio frequency signal is applied to a transmitting means which transmits an electromagnetic field through the web being sensed. The moisture gradient of the web is monitored by sensing a control signal which is indicative of fluctuations in the strength of the transmitted electromagnetic field owing to the absorption of energy by moisture on the web moved through the field.

  • Paperboard corrugator
    Patent number: 3966518
    Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring the quantity of single face paperboard on the bridge of a corrugator so that a unit length of paperboard will remain on the bridge for a preselected time irrespective of the speed of the corrugator to properly season the paperboard. Signals indicative of input and output of paperboard to the bridge are compared with a signal indicative of a preselected time and a signal is generated to effect changes in the single facer machine motor speed.
