Patent number: 11801957Abstract: Disclosed is a box taping machine equipped with a conveying mechanism for boxes and one or more tape applicators. The taping machine can be manually or automatically adjusted, with or without flap folding. A conveying unit displaces boxes along a sliding plane, moved by an actuator controlled by a drive, with a tape applicator positioned above the plane. A passage sensor detects the moving position of at least a vertical surface of the boxes and outputs sensor signals. A programmable logic unit interfaces with the passage sensor and drive, computing a current position of front and rear vertical surfaces based on the sensor signal, and an actuator control function acts on the drive controlling the actuator, the actuator control function being variable in time based on the current position of front and rear vertical surfaces of the boxes. A retrofit kit and corresponding method are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: S.I.A.T.

Patent number: 10006988Abstract: A method and system are described for measuring displacements and vibrations of an object/structure. The method includes transmission of at least one radar wave by a single radar device positioned at a predefined distance from a receiver device applied on the object/structure, reception, by the radar device, of a complex signal consisting of the sum of the signal reflected from said receiver device and of one or more interfering signals generated by one or more corresponding targets substantially stationary and substantially positioned at the same distance from the radar device, separation of the interfering signals from the reflected signal. The separation includes calibration by induction, for a pre-determined period of time, of a vibrational motion having a known frequency and duration in the receiver device, which consequently operates as a calibration device, for obtaining an estimated value of the interfering signals.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: ENI S.p.A.Inventors: Giuseppe Giunta, Andrea Monti-Guarnieri
