    摘要: There is provided a method, system and apparatus for cutting a profile, such as a cigar wrapper, from a natural leaf, such as a tobacco leaf, wherein the leaf is spread and supported on a support surface in a random position. Thereafter, a leaf facsimile or image, including the leaf outline and surface imperfections, is developed and at least one cut position for the wrapper is located in an area excluding the leaf outline and surface imperfections. This cut position is recorded and converted to digital data. The wrapper is then cut from the leaf at an actual cut position corresponding to the located cut position determined by the digital data. Also, the facsimile is created by a back lighting arrangement which illuminates color variations and surface imperfections, as well as the leaf outline, so that leaf color variations can be included in the facsimile or image.

    摘要: There is provided a digital device for creating a series of digital signals indicative of the profile in certain surface variations of a natural tobacco leaf. The light intensity characteristic of an emitted light from various locations on the natural tobacco leaf are scanned in succession across the leaf at parallel positions. The light intensity at the various locations creates a digital signal indicative of whether or not the light intensity is high, low or intermediate. The color profile of the leaf could be created by these signals; however, in accordance with the invention, a digital signal is created when the light intensity signal shifts from one value to another. At that time, a transition signal is created which can be combined to form a transition profile of the leaf which is indicative of the actual profile and color variations of the leaf itself. This information can be used for locating a wrapper cutter at the desired position on the leaf for subsequent cutting of the wrapper from the leaf.

    摘要: In a method and apparatus for making a lens for a pair of prescription eyeglasses a lens blank is shaped and finished on one of its major surfaces through the use of a machine controlled by the prescription information and with a new expendable lap being made each time a new lens is wanted. A machine for cutting a lens blank and/or a lap blank is controlled in three axes by a set of point data related to and obtained in response to the input into the control system for the machine of prescription information. Lap blanks and lens blanks usable by the machine are distinguishable from one another by each lap blank, or each lens blank, having an anomaly, such as a piece of magnetic material detectable by a sensor or the blank is rotated by the machine.

    摘要: Ink jet printing apparatus is provided for vertically randomizing the flight paths of ink drops ejected from an ink jet printing head to print dots at positions randomly deviated vertically with respect to a line scanned by the printing head. Ejected ink drops are passed through an electric field having a randomly varying intensity and direction to randomly deflect the ink drop flight path with respect to a line scanned by the printing head.

    摘要: An interactive graphics system in which plotting, digitizing and other related capabilities are performed is described in which complex graphics may be generated, edited and developed at a plurality of terminals, independently, with a minimum of hardware and in which precision control of the motion of a plotting table at each location is achieved in response to simplified input commands. Additionally, a novel floating cursor is described by which an operator may control the motion of the carriages of a plotting table or other positioning system actuated during plotting on the table, and digitize various coordinate locations with corresponding storage in a central computer of such locations, all by manually positioning the cursor at the desired locations. The floating cursor is connected with an energy sensor and both the cursor and the sensor are mechanically movable relative to or independently of the carriage. An energy generator is fixedly connected to the carriage and is directed toward the sensor so that relative movement of the cursor and carriage can be detected by the sensor. The carriage is then made to move with the cursor in response to signals generated from the energy sensor. Thus, the cursor floats with respect to the carriage, which precisely follows the cursor over a plotting surface and which carriage contains various devices for drafting or other operations on material located on the plotting surface.

    摘要: There is provided a device for converting a succession of analog voltage signals representative of light intensity of light from and controlled by a corresponding succession of finite surface locations of a natural leaf into high or white, low or black and intermediate or gray digital signals. This device includes an arrangement for creating a white digital signal when the analog voltage of a given location exceeds the threshold voltage. The digital signals are continuously averaged and updated to provide a datum voltage against which the analog voltage is compared after the datum voltage is decreased by a preselected amount. If the analog voltage is less than the reduced datum voltage, a black digital signal is created. If there is neither a black nor a white digital signal, a gray digital signal is created. In this manner, the general light intensity characteristics of each successive location on the leaf can be recorded as either white, black or gray. This device and its method of operation is useful in creating a profile of the actual natural tobacco leaf for a subsequent use in cutting profiles from the leaf at desired areas.

    摘要: A system for examining a body through the use of X-rays or other penetrating radiation includes a means or moving a beam of radiation over a body to be examined and a detector for detecting the intensity of the non-absorbed or body-exiting portion of the beam. The system is formed into a dynamic closed loop by comparing the detected beam intensity with a given reference signal and utilizing the error signal so obtained to dynamically vary the body-incident intensity, or body-incident intensity and wavelength, of the beam in such a manner as to hold the detected intensity at a constant value. With the detected intensity held constant, the control signal which dictates the body-incident intensity, or body-incident intensity and wavelength, of the beam becomes a function of the transmissivity of that portion of the body through which the path of the beam instantaneously passes. As the beam is scanned over the body, the beam control signal is supplied to a computer or other utilization device which extracts transmissivity data therefrom and processes such data to compose a pictorial or other graphic display.
