A method and apparatus for synchronizing the digitized position output of a multispeed system having overlapping position indications. The output of the multispeed position indicating system is a digital output word which is a combination of the individual outputs of the various transducers. For a two speed system a digital fine position having a high degree of accuracy is provided, and a digital coarse position indication of a lesser precision is also provided wherein the least significant coarse position digit overlaps the most significant fine position digit. An adjustment is provided for adjusting the coarse digital output as a function of the most significant digit of the fine transducer output so that nonambiguous synchronized position information is provided at all times. The appropriate adjustment can be obtained by adding a fixed number of counts, such as 5, to the coarse digital position indication and then subtracting the most significant digit of the fine position indication so that when the coarse position indication is combined with the fine position indication the desired unambiguous output results. The combined position indication can be obtained by utilizing all of the fine digital position outputs and the coarse digital outputs other than the least significant digit, which overlaps the most significant digit of the fine digital output. The coarse and fine position indicators can be resolvers which are connected to the shaft to be instrumented. The outputs of these resolvers are then converted to digital signals by analog to digital converters. The fine digital signal and the modified coarse digital signal are then combined by appropriate logic.

A method and apparatus is provided for cutting a disk of material from a continuously advancing strip of material, forming the disk into a cup, and inserting the cup into the end of a tube. The apparatus comprises a first rotating member having a plurality of workstations positioned around its periphery, a second rotating member into which tubes without cups are loaded and from which tubes containing cups are unloaded, and a set of stationary cams which control the operation of the workstations. The strip of material passes around a section of the periphery of the first member, advances at the same rate as the circumferential velocity of the first member, and comes into relative stationary contact with a number of the workstations. The rotation of the first member relative to the stationary cams provides motion to a cutting mandrel, a forming mandrel, a cutting and forming die, and an insertion mandrel associated with each workstation to perform the tasks of cutting, forming, and inserting.

A method of manufacturing cigarettes including the steps of establishing a succession of 2-up hollow plugs in alternating relation to 2-up tobacco plugs and wrapping same in a tobacco web and overwrap, severing the resultant continuous rod at mid points of preselected 2-up tobacco plugs and severing again to establish associated pairs of singular tobacco rod plugs, separating the members of associated pairs of tobacco rod plugs and placing 2-up filter tipping plugs therebetween, and subsequently wrapping the interposed 2-up filter tipping plug together with adjacent portions of the singular tobacco rod plugs and severing the resultant tipped structure into individual cigarettes. Also provided are cigarettes constructed in accordance with the novel method.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for selectively removing articles, such as cigarettes, from a transfer conveyor system in which the transfer of the selected articles to a receiver conveyor from a transfer conveyor is rejected within a transfer zone. Vacuum suction retaining articles on the transfer conveyor is blocked in the transfer zone as articles pass to the receiver conveyor. Transfer of selected articles is rejected by application of an air pulse responsive to a reject signal. The selected articles are returned to the transfer conveyor, from which they are removed.

The present invention provides a high response inexpensive microprocessor based control system. The system uses only one detector that detects only one motion characteristic of the object controlled by the system. In the preferred embodiment, the system controls the position and velocity of the movable member of the motor by creating commands that represent the desired position of the movable member 1024 times per second. The system also provides methods for improving the accuracy and precision of the system.

A speed detector, particularly useful on a permanent magnet DC motor, for providing a pulse indication from movement of the rotor teeth. During one revolution of the motor, a pulse is provided for each motor tooth. In a preferred embodiment, the pulse pickup probe is formed from a ferromagnetic stud which is anchored to the stator housing and extends through an opening formed in the center of the fixed permanent magnet to a position in close proximity to the rotor. The magnet through which the probe extends provides magnetic flux having a path through the stud and the rotor. The reluctance of the flux path through the rotor varies as a function of the alignment of a rotor tooth with respect to the ferromagnetic stud. The stud is formed to have a pickup end facing the rotor. The diameter of the pickup end is slightly greater than the rotor tooth width. A pickup coil is wound around a reduced diameter portion formed on the ferromagnetic stud, and generally lies within the opening through the permanent magnet. As a rotor tooth passes across the pickup end of the stud, a voltage pulse is induced in the pickup coil. The speed with which these voltage pulses are produced indicates motor speed. A small opening or openings extend from the head of the stud towards the reduced diameter portion for receiving leads which are connected to the pickup coil. A diode can be electrically connected to the pickup coil to produce a unidirectional pulse output.
