Various other configurations regarding this apparatus, as well as the overall system and methods of exciting and receiving signals from wireless markers, are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Inventors: J.

Publication number: 20110119894Abstract: An orifice holder assembly provides a boss connected by at least one arm to a base having an outlet therethrough. The boss is provided below the outlet. A tube is inserted through the boss until a bead contacts a first boss surface and the tube end is then deflected to form a lip where the lip and the bead connects the tube to the boss. An orifice body is then inserted in the tube end.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2011Publication date: May 26, 2011Inventors: Timothy Lee Frost, Tony Byron Leeseberg

Publication number: 20110119898Abstract: In a method for processing a laminate, which comprises at least one solid plate, particularly a glass plate, prior to a lamination step at least one location marking is applied to the solid plate and at least one distance and/or angle value of the solid plate is determined with respect to the location marking. Following the lamination step, the laminate is processed, wherein the laminate and a processing tool are automatically positioned relative to each other as a function of the location marking and the at least one distance and/or angle value. Prior to lamination, the solid plate can be easily measured, the edge thereof can be detected both mechanically (such as by a sensor) and without contact (such as optically, by way of a camera), and common, in particular automated, methods can be used for measuring.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicants: GÜDEL GROUP AG, 3S SWISS SOLAR SYSTEMS AGInventors: Marcel Blanchet, Roland Kappaun, Walter Zulauf, Hans-Ulrich Kurt, Rudolf Güdel, Rudolf Heid
