  • Patent number: 8923599
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for representing the characteristics of an object with a measuring system, in which either the measuring system or the object is designed to move in relation to one another in a predefined direction of movement. The object preferably is designed to move in relation to the measuring system. At least one light source is designed to illuminate the object with a light which is incident upon the object and has a limited extension in the direction of movement. An imaging sensor, which is arranged on the same side of the object as the light source is designed to pick up light reflected from the object and to convert this into electrical charges. An image-processing unit is furthermore designed to create a digital representation of the object from said electrical charges.

  • Patent number: 4225386
    Abstract: Stock flow alignment means for the headbox of a paper machine or the like comprises a plurality of composite tubes having their opposite ends mounted in apertures in two spaced apart tube plates extending in the cross machine direction. Each composite tube includes first and second tubular elements assembled in telescoping relation to accommodate changes in length resulting from thermal expansion. Also, each composite tube is formed with a stepwise enlargement of its cross section in the direction of flow near the telescoped ends of the tubular elements. Flow deflector means disposed in the flow paths to the inlet ends of the composite tubes prevent fibers in the stock from collecting at the inlets.
