  • Selection valve with ferrule cluster
    Patent number: 6390127
    Abstract: A multi-port injection/selection valve utilizes a ferrule cluster to connect tubes or capillaries to a common port in the valve. The use of micro ferrule clusters, as opposed to conventional connectors such as nuts and/or bolts, permits the capillary ends to be positioned in extremely close proximity to the valve rotor and to each other, thus minimizing the volume between two capillaries when they are in brought into fluid communication with each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2002

  • Sensing device for counting workpieces transported in stepped formation
    Patent number: 4091269
    Abstract: In a counting arrangement for articles such as single or multilayer paper sheets having greatly varying thicknesses, a sensing device is arranged between the loading rollers bearing on the surface of the article stream delivered in overlapping fashion and operable to be carried along by the edge presented by each article for a predetermined distance and to become gradually retrieved from the edge and returned to its initial position in engagement with a contact of a counter thereby delivering a pulse to the counter.

  • High performance sheet-feeder mechanism
    Patent number: 4071234
    Abstract: A feeder mechanism for feeding single sheets, folios or multiple-ply material of paper or the like to subsequent processing machinery. A stack of sheets is partially tilted and edge portions of the front sheet are grasped and bent over by alternately approaching suction devices. While one of the suction devices engages the edge portion of one sheet, the previously detached sheet is being engaged by a conveyor wheel which pulls it completely from the stack.
