  • Patent number: 7504617
    Abstract: The device detects a thread during the detection of the ends of threads (21) in suction pipe (17) crossflown by air, comprising a sensor device (22) having a transmitter (31) and a receiver (32) in a textile machine producing cross-wound bobbins. A measuring field (26) is formed between the transmitter (31) and the receiver (32). The suction pipe has a curvature in the area of the measuring field (26). The measuring field (26) is arranged in proximity of the smaller radius of the suction pipe (17), which has a recess (27) oriented in the running direction of the suction pipe (17) to form the measuring field (26). The suction pipe (17) is curved upstream and downstream of the measuring field (26) such that the detected thread is tensed inside the recess (27) to be spaced at least partly from the bottom of the recess (27) in the measuring field (26), making it possible to easily and reliably detect the thread.

  • Patent number: 5915861
    Abstract: The method for driving a stepping motor for printers comprises the generation of first pulses (16A,16B) at n levels recorded in registers and representing a simulation of sinusoidal waves. The maximum level is applied during two consecutive microsteps to one of the phases of the motor, while the level of the other phase changes sign. During a motor stopping command, second pulses (VCA,VCB) are applied to the registers and to the two phases of the motor and are programmed so as to ensure, during the last microstep, an exact stopping position, such that all the stopping positions are kept apart by a whole number of half steps. Very precise, fast and noise-free printing is thus attained. The resolution is doubled, without any loss of precision or speed.

  • Patent number: 5518882
    Abstract: The invention involves an immunological method of separating specifically-targeted cells or molecular structures from a mixed population under conditions which minimize damage to the cellular structure or the molecular integrity. The method is based upon the specific interaction of a label and an antibody directed against the label and the ability of a competitor to inhibit the interaction between the label and the antibody.
