Publication number: 20080276290Abstract: A monitoring system checks a transmission error of a video/audio signal transmitted from a source (10) to a destination (20A, 20B) by comparing in real time a first feature extracted from the pre-transmission video/audio signal and a second feature extracted from the post-transmission video/audio signal. The transmitted video/audio signal is repeatedly stored for a predetermined period of time. When the system judges that a transmission error has occurred, it transmits the stored video/audio signal to a predetermined address. Thus, the transmission error of the transmitted video/audio signal can be analyzed rapidly and in detail.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2006Publication date: November 6, 2008Applicant: KDDI Media Will CorporationInventors: Takahiro Hamada, Takuma Kawamura, Fuminori Watanabe, John Alexenko

Publication number: 20080211920Abstract: A video/audio signal transmitted from a transmission source 10 to transmission destinations 20A and 20B is stored repeatedly for a predetermined time period. Thus, for example if the video/audio signal is overwritten at predetermined timing, it is sufficient to have a small storage capacity for the video/audio signal. Also, the video/audio signal on which an error has occurred remains without being overwritten at the time of determination that an error has occurred. Accordingly, by transmitting this signal to a predetermined destination, a detailed error analysis can be made promptly on the basis of the transmitted video/audio signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2008Publication date: September 4, 2008Applicant: K-WILL JAPANInventors: Takahiro Hamada, Takuma Kawamura, Fuminori Watanabe, John Alexenko

Publication number: 20080006981Abstract: A method and a device is provided for forming stacks of flat elements in a stacking region, the flat elements being guided to the stacking region substantially continuously. The flat elements are stacked on a main stack carrier. Upon achieving a finished stack of a predetermined number of flat elements stacked on the main stack carrier, an auxiliary stack carrier is inserted into the stacking region above the finished stack. Subsequent flat elements are then stacked on the auxiliary stack carrier. The finished stack is then removed from the main stack carrier and, subsequently, the main stack carrier is moved below the auxiliary stack carrier. The auxiliary stack carrier is then withdrawn from the stacking region, transferring the subsequent flat elements on the main stack. During or after this withdrawal process, at least an upper portion of the main stack carrier is moved substantially opposite the direction of withdrawal of the auxiliary stack carrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2007Publication date: January 10, 2008Applicant: E.C.H.

Patent number: 7284655Abstract: The invention relates to a method, an arrangement and an apparatus for conveying objects transversely to their incoming transport direction. In known apparatuses there is a possibility of either removing all the objects in one direction or the other. To a limited extent known apparatuses also allow a division of a string formed from several objects. However, a disadvantage is that the distribution of the objects, in other words the division of a string formed from several objects, e.g. a ream string formed from fourteen reams, to packing machines located opposite one another is possible only to a limited extent. It can also take place only when the machine has been shut down.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: E.C.H. Will GmbHInventors: Bernd Höpner, Wolfram Wolf

Patent number: 7066462Abstract: A stream of successive sheets of paper, foil or the like is converted into a series of piles at a stacking station where successive sheets are caused to descend onto a pallet which is adjacent a monitoring device serving to transmit signals denoting the levels of successive uppermost sheets of a growing pile. Such signals are processed by a unit which controls one or more valves in a pneumatic elevator for the discharge end of the endless flexible conveyor which supplies successive sheets to the stacking station. The elevator ensures that the distance between the discharge end of the conveyor and the uppermost sheets of the growing pile remains within a preselected range. This contributes to the accuracy of stacking of sheets on their pallet.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2002Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: E.C.H.
