Abstract: A tooling inspection and analysis system measures tooling quality of a multi-tip tablet punch having a barrel with a plurality of tips each having a tip cup for forming a tablet. The system comprises a base. A carriage assembly has a cavity for supporting a multi-tip tablet punch, which when in use is aligned with an X-axis. A Y-axis linear slide mounts the carriage assembly to the base for movement relative to the base along a Y-axis. A sensor is adapted to measure distance. A Z-axis linear slide mounts the sensor to the base for movement relative to the base along a Z-axis. A programmable controller is operatively connected to the Y-axis linear slide, the Z-axis linear slide and the sensor. The controller is programmed to move the carriage assembly and the sensor to automatically align the sensor to measure working length of each tip of a multi-tip tablet punch mounted in the cavity.

Abstract: This invention of mounting apparatus has quick release, enhanced stability against high wind velocity, extended life cycle, and ground animal tamper proof for birdhouse and bird feeder. This design of inner plate mechanism provides higher contact area and distributes pressure on the mounting pipe that allows all the above advantages. These set of mounting apparatus allows for different angular orientation, vertical position, and can also be used for other applications.
