  • Device for inspecting the heat insulation of household appliances, more particularly refrigerators
    Patent number: 4890244
    Abstract: A device for inspecting the heat insulation of household appliances, more particularly refrigerators, includes a traditional thermographic apparatus for detecting the thermographic images of the insulation by use of the exothermic reaction produced during foaming of the insulation and a control and processing unit, known per se, connected to the thermographic apparatus, possibly to a monitor, and to an input unit. The control and processing unit contains coded data corresponding to the conditions under which the heat insulation is properly produced, such data being compared with that produced by the thermographic apparatus and corresponding to the effective condition of the heat insulation of each applicance produced. Depending on this comparison, the unit proceeds to control the forward movement of a conveyor device so as to enable the appliances to be assembled, repaired or replaced.

  • Container liquid level sensing utilizing a filling tube
    Patent number: 4675660
    Abstract: Procedure to measure the level (14) of a liquid (13) by means of elastic waves, such liquid (13) being contained within an axially moving tube (11) and cooperating with a filler tube (12), the filler tube (12) being used as an element in the transmission of elastic waves to the liquid (13), such elastic waves being picked up (16) outside the axially moving tube (11).Device (10) to carry out the above procedure, which device (10) cooperates with a filler tube (12) and comprises:at least one transducer (15) to transmit energization of the vibration of the filler tube (12), andat least one receiver transducer (16) located outside the axially moving tube (11).
