Abstract: Equipment for stacking sheets comprises a stack support and a plurality of motor-driven conveyor belts having lower branches above the stack support for dragging incoming sheets by suction and depositing the sheets onto the stack support or already stacked sheets. The equipment includes a stopping member, a sensing device for sensing the height of the stacked sheets, a compensation mechanism for adjusting the height of the stack support, and an electronic control unit. The sensing device comprises sensing rollers arranged between the conveyor belts and cooperating with the sheets in sensing areas, sensing supports rotatably supporting the sensing rollers and being individually movable, intermediate elements associated with the sensing supports, and a rotatable common shaft. The sensing rollers lift according to the sheets’ thickness, causing displacement of the intermediate elements and rotation of the common shaft.

Abstract: Stacking equipment for sheets comprises suction-driven conveying belts and a stack support configured to receive sheets in a vertical stack. The conveying belts include lower branches positioned above the stack support and motor-driven to advance incoming sheets along a transport surface by suction applied through the lower branches. A stopping member, mounted on a functional block, arrests the advancing sheets, which are then deposited onto the stack support. The functional block is longitudinally adjustable according to the sheet length and carries intermediate and deviation rollers for the lower branches of the belts, thereby defining an accommodation space for the stop member above the transport surface. The stopping member includes a cross-section with a continuous profile that projects below the transport surface to reliably stop the conveyed sheets.

Abstract: The method for managing rights associated with an object (1), such as a timepiece (1) or an item of jewellery, includes creating a first digital token associated with a first right, in particular the right of ownership, to the object, the first digital token being stored and authenticated using a first blockchain protocol; creating a second digital token, in particular a non-fungible digital token, associated with a second right, in particular a right of access to digital content, in particular multimedia content, associated with the object, the second digital token being stored and authenticated using a second blockchain protocol: creating a smart contract binding the rights to the first and second digital tokens such that the right of ownership to one of the first and second digital tokens cannot be transferred without the right of ownership to the other of the first and second digital tokens.
