Abstract: A glassware forming machine includes a blank mold having first and second sections and a hanger assembly configured to support the first section and permit movement of the first section towards and away from the second section. A temperature measurement system for the first section includes a thermocouple configured to be received within a recess in a wall of the first section and to generate a temperature signal indicative of a temperature of the first section. The system further includes a transmitter assembly coupled to the thermocouple and comprising a housing supported on the hanger assembly and a wireless transmitter and controller disposed within the housing. The controller is configured to receive the temperature signal and generate an output signal in response for transmission by the wireless transmitter, the output signal including data indicative of the temperature of the first section of the blank mold.

Abstract: A shield apparatus is arranged for ease of mounting in assembled configuration particularly for use in shielding various radiations, such as relative to nuclear plants. The shielding structure is arranged for use in emergency as well as in a permanent relationship relative to such radiation emitting structure.
