Abstract: An apparatus for testing of electrical, mechanical, physical and/or chemical properties of material in sheet form includes a cassette for holding of sheets and sensors rigidly mounted relative to the cassette. The sensors may be mounted adjacent a test location exterior to the cassette. The cassette and the sensors may be so configured and positioned that a suitable end effector may move sheets of material between storage locations in the cassette and test locations adjacent the sensors. A method for testing sheet material includes the steps of placing the sheet material in a cassette, and conducting tests employing one or more sensors rigidly mounted with respect to the cassette. The method may include employing an end effector to remove the sheet from the cassette, to position the sheet stepwise in several positions relative to the sensors, and to replace the sheet in the cassette upon completion of testing. Materials to be tested include flat panels for computer screens and other applications and semiconductor wafers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring substrate bending stiffness and thereby basis weight on a real time basis. Provided is a corrugator having a plurality of parallel ribs, with one or more sheets of the substrate provided below the corrugator wherein a predetermined gap exists between a topmost sheet of the sheets and the corrugator. A vacuum is applied between the corrugator and the topmost sheet, wherein the vacuum is sufficiently large to raise the topmost sheet, thereby deflecting and bending it into a profile corresponding to the arrangement and size of the corrugator ribs and bending stiffness of the substrate. One or more sensors are provided for measuring the deflection of the topmost sheet. The vacuum, an air knife output and/or a fluffer output are then adjusted according to predetermined rules and the measured deflection.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing the fatigue of a sample of cord or filament (12) by bending it over a fixed surface (19). The apparatus comprises a tensioner (14), a fixed bending surface (19) and a driving mechanism (24), whereby the driving mechanism (24) causes a non-twisting bending of cord or filament (12) over bending surface (19) while tensioner (14) maintains a constant tension on cord or filament (12). In a method of the invention, a cord or filament (12) is attached to a tensioner (14), the cord or filament (12) is mounted on fixed bending surface (19) and attached to non-stationary roller (20), and driving mechanism (24) is activated to cause a back and forth movement of roller (20), thereby causing filament or cord (12) to bend back and forth over fixed bending surface (19) until it breaks. This process is repeated using different stress increase rates on the cord or filament (12) by adjusting the tensioner (14) and a linear regression equation is used to determine the fatigue stress limit of the material.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring a load of a hoisting apparatus, where electricity is used as the driving force and a squirrel cage motor as the hoisting motor for moving a load attached to a hoisting member of the hoisting apparatus substantially in the vertical direction. The method and arrangement are employed to determine air gap torque of the hoisting motor, which describes the load of the hoisting apparatus, utilizing magnetization flux of the hoisting motor determined on the basis of the current, supply voltage and stator winding resistance of the hoisting motor. The value of the air gap torque is compared with an air gap torque curve determined for the hoisting apparatus at known reference loads to determine the load that corresponds to the air gap torque in question.

Abstract: A webbing tension sensing unit which includes a base and a cover and an elastically biasing element mounted within the base and cover. The webbing of, for example, a seat belt is operably connected to a sensor also housed within the base and cover. The sensor detects movement in relation to the elastically biasing element and generates electrical signals in proportion to the movement as a function of the tension in the webbing. The signals are used for analysis as part of a system to determine if devices such as an air bag or warning light should be triggered.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring the tension of a moving web. In the invention, a measuring beam (2)is curved so that a web moving over or under the measuring beam (2) forms an air cushion (3) of the air it transports between the measuring beam (2) and the web (1). The web (1) causes a force effect transmitted by the air cushion on the measuring beam (2). The tension of the web (1) is measured by measuring the force caused by the web (1) and transmitted by the measuring beam (2).
