Abstract: A beaming apparatus that includes a creel and warper head, the creel being positioned adjacent to the warper head, the creel having elastomeric yarn unwinder assemblies which include a guide support that supports rotating guides and stationary wound cakes of elastomeric yarn, a thread guide for orienting the unwound yarn towards the warper head, a front guide and tension bar positioned near the end of the creel, and a pivoting reed positioned before the warper head for orienting the yarn onto a beam are provided.

Abstract: A cordless electronic weighing scale which includes a load receiving element, such as a weighing pan, an electronic circuit including a battery, a load cell operatively attached to the load receiving element for weighing items and generating analog signals representative of items being weighed, an analog-to-digital converter connected with the load cell for receiving analog signals therefrom and converting them into digital signals, a first logic circuit connected between the load cell and the converter to cause analog signals to be transmitted to the converter in an on and off fashion, and a digital display circuit connected to the analog-to-digital converter to provide a digital display of analog signals from the analog-to-digital converter to indicate the weight of the items on the load receiving element. In the system a pulse plus a non-pulse constitutes a cycle and the pulse is about 1% of the cycle and the non-pulse is about 99% of the cycle.

Abstract: An electromechanical abutment stop intended particularly for folding machines comprises of a coil (4) and a magnet (2) which are resiliently movable relative to each other. Disposed between coil (4) and magnet (2) is a damper plate (9) of softly resilient material as defined. The abutment sensor is characterized by low overall height. In a preferred embodiment, at least one surface of the damper plate (9) is occupied by projections (10), the shape of which can be used to determine the signal:mechanical pulse characteristic within wide limits, particularly so that the rise in the magnitude of signal will become ever smaller as the mechanical pulse becomes greater. By limiting the free length of travel .DELTA.x coil 4 or magnet 2), it is possible to confine the signal within an upper limit or threshold.
