  • Publication number: 20190193368
    Abstract: A device for processing a material web (3) that includes means (2) for conveying the material web in a longitudinal direction (L), wherein both an applied, in particular repeated printed image (9) and a control line (10, 11) extending in the longitudinal direction are configured on the material web (3). The control line (10, 11) has a defined position transverse to the material web (3), and the control line (10, 11) is scanned by means of a sensor (15, 16) in a material web (3) processing step. The control line (3) has a digital code structure in its longitudinal direction (L) that encodes a data set of at least four bits, in particular at least two bytes, of information content.

  • Publication number: 20150346106
    Abstract: In a method for inspecting and tailoring a predefined point of a moving product web (2), the moving product web (2) is located at least partly on a winder (3). Both a relative running length L of the product web (2) and an associated angle of rotation ? of the winder (3) are captured. From these values, the absolute running length LTOT of the moving product web (2) is then calculated. A camera (34) captures the moving product web (2). The camera value is compared with a reference value (36) and, together with the absolute running length LTOT of the moving product web (2), is stored in a file (37). At a later time, with the aid of the file (37), the defective points of the moving product web (2) are moved to. The absolute running length LTOT is determined again and compared with the file (37). Therefore, the defective points can easily be separated out from the moving product web (2).

  • Patent number: 8560899
    Abstract: The disclosed invention provides a structure and method for detecting address line (e.g., wordline, bitline) memory failures. In one embodiment, the method and structure comprise generating an address signature, by re-encoding an internally generated address signal from activated elements (e.g., wordlines) inside a memory array. The regenerated address signature may be compared with a requested memory address location. If the regenerated address signature and memory location are equal than there is no error in the memory array, but if the regenerated address signature and memory location are equal than an error is present in the memory array. Accordingly, re-encoding an address signature provides a closed loop check that a wordline and/or bitline, that was actually activated in a memory array, was the correct requested wordline and/or bitline, that no other wordlines or bitlines were also triggered, and that the wordline and/or bitline is continuous.

  • Patent number: 7784975
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) serves for linear illumination of a moving product web (6), the apparatus (1) having at least one light source (4) emitting light. In order to achieve high luminance in a linear subregion of the product web (6), at least a portion of the light emitted by the light source (4) is reflected towards the product web (6) by at least one tubular reflector (5). The tubular reflector (5) in this case has at least one light exit slit (7) which is assigned to the product web (6). Moreover, the tubular reflector has at least one observation slit (8) which lies opposite the light exit slit (7). The illuminated product web (6) can be observed through this observation slit (8) by means of a line camera (2).

  • Patent number: 4808922
    Abstract: A device for the determination of the concentration of substances with paramagnetic properties, particularly oxygen, in substance mixtures comprises a cell assembly divided into several chambers, which is arranged to revolve with relation to a service for producing a magnetic field penetrating the cell assembly, and a coil assembly associated with this assembly for the conversion of the magnetic induction produced in it by the paramagnetic substance into an electrical signal. The assembly of devices producing magnetic fields and their associated measuring field coils is unaffected by external interferences such as transfer of mechanical vibrations or influences of external magnetic fields.

  • Patent number: 4464926
    Abstract: A sensor for sensing the presence of oxygen in a test gas mixture comprises either first or second tubes for the separate flow of a measured gas and a gas to be tested for a single tubular arrangement for the successive flow of these two gases in association with a plurality of radio-frequency coils which are connected in an electrical bridge circuit to that they can be balanced in any variation of the inductance measure. Since oxygen in the gas produces a paramagnetism which provides induction variations in the coils of the balancing circuit, the variations of the balancing circuit may be used to sense the proportion of the oxygen content in the gases. With the inventive method the gases are passed into association with the balancing circuit and variations of the test gas from the measured gas are sensed by the circuit balance which is produced by the oxygen which is present in the gas mixtures. Such a sensor may be used for breath protection, diving and medical fields.
