Abstract: A tire temperature measurement apparatus comprising a microwave receiver (9 or 11) sensitive to electromagnetic radiation in a waveband in the frequency spectrum 10 to 100 GHz and a directional antenna (5 or 7) coupled to the receiver input and responsive to radiation from a predetermined surface area only of the tire (1 or 3).

Abstract: A method is disclosed for sensing the position of a workpiece clamp on a workpiece positioning assembly of a computer-controlled machine tool such as a turret punch press including an X-axis traverse, a Y-axis traverse and, a workpiece support movable along the X-axis traverse and carrying the workpiece support. The method consists of the steps of providing a datum position on the X-axis for the control, providing a datum position on the Y-axis for the control, providing a datum position on the turret for the control, moving the member to the datum position on the X-axis at the beginning of each operating sequence, registering movement of the member along the X-axis traverse, moving the member passed sensor means to identify for the control the position of the member relative to the datum position on the X-axis. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also provided.
