A yarn producing apparatus produces carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn by aggregating CNT fibers. A substrate support supports a CNT forming substrate, a winding unit 7 continuously draws the CNT fibers, a yarn producing unit aggregates the CNT fibers, and a substrate replacing mechanism replaces the carbon nanotube forming substrate supported on the substrate support with another carbon nanotube forming substrate.

A method for measuring the weight of impurities in a mixed volume of fibers and impurities by mechanically separating the impurities are from the fibers, whereupon some undesired fibers still remain admixed to the impurities due to imperfections of the mechanical separation. A total weight of the separated impurities and the undesired fibers is gravimetrically measured. An image of the separated impurities and the undesired fibers is created. A weight of the undesired fibers is estimated from the image. The estimated weight of the undesired fibers is subtracted from the total weight to yield a corrected weight of the impurities. The mechanical separation and the subsequent electronic correction yield a more accurate weight of the impurities.

In an apparatus at a spinning preparatory plant for detecting foreign objects, for example, pieces of cloth, tapes, string, pieces of sheeting and the like, in fibre material, the fibre material is transportable in an air flow through a fibre transport duct or a feed chute and an optical sensor system is associated with the duct or chute, the wall surfaces of which have at least one transparent region through which the sensor system detects the fibre-air flow. To permit the at least one transparent region to be kept clean in a simple manner during operation, and to permit an unobstructed detection of the foreign objects, the transparent region projects into the fibre-air flow and the fibre-air flow is able to flow along the transparent region in force-applying contact therewith.

In an apparatus for monitoring and securing danger zones on power-driven textile machines, in particular spinning room preparatory machines, having movable machine parts, an optical monitoring device monitors a movable danger zone to form a movable protection zone, such that a person and/or an object intruding into the danger zone triggers a switching operation. To produce an apparatus that allows guarding of danger zones in a simple and reliable manner, stationary monitoring device is present, which is selectively activatable and forms a dynamically movable protection zone around the movable danger zone.

A carding engine guard arrangement includes carding engine (10) having a longitudinal axis, and respective guards (11) arranged along each side of the carding engine (10), in which at least one of the guards includes a support structure (25) arranged along one side of the carding engine (10), and a door arrangement (12) pivotally mounted on the support structure (25) to pivot about a substantially horizontal hinge axis (13, 17, 20) at or near to the upper edge of the door arrangement between a closed position guarding the side of the carding engine and a raised position allowing full access to the carding engine throughout its length, when the latter is inoperative. In a preferred arrangement, the door arrangement includes upper and lower door panels (14 and 15) in which lower panel (15) is first hinged upwardly about its upper edge (16), and thereafter the overlapping door panels (14 and 15) are hinged together upwardly as a unit about the upper hinge axis (13, 17, 20) to the raised access position.

A method of inspecting cleanliness of top sliber. The method classifies detected defects into pillwise defects and vegetal defects by introducing roundness, slenderness, gradation, dispersion, area, shape, gradation ratio, and length discernment against image signals of inspected top slibers picked up by an image sensor. An apparatus for inspecting cleanliness of top sliders is utilized. The apparatus initially picks up an image of uniformly spread top slibers conveyed to the apparatus and then processes the image signal with an image processing unit provided therefor. The method involves classifying defects on the top sliber into pillwise defects and vegetal defects in the top sliber based on the generated image signal. The classifying involves the steps of (i) establishing conditional section membership functions for features of defects, (ii) establishing conclusion section membership functions for determining a probability of being a defect against said classified defects, (iii) establishing a fuzzy rule for relating said features of defects with said probability of being a defect against the defects; and (iv) classifying the defects based on fuzzy reasoning derived from the conditional section membership functions, the conclusion section membership functions, and said fuzzy rule.

A ballast circuit for operating a metal halide lamp by applying DC excitation during its start, glow and run modes is disclosed. The type and values of the circuit components of the ballast circuit are selected to provide automatic, sequential and desired transfer functions as the impedance value of the metal halide lamp transitions from its value occurring during the start, glow and run modes of operation. The ballast circuit has an input stage that is easily adapted to present a high power factor to the AC power source supplying the metal halide lamp. Further, the ballast circuit generates a signal for more easily starting the lamp and having a relatively high DC level upon which are developed pulse signals.

By providing a removable and repositionable panel member cooperatively mountable to a support panel in a plurality of alternate positions, which support panel is mountable to a machine tool, a unique, universally applicable safety shield is achieved. Preferably, the safety shield also incorporates a front panel pivotally mounted to the support panel, and constructed of cooperative mounted engagement of the removable and repositionable panel in a plurality of alternate positions therewith. If desired, a plurality of removable and repositionable panel members are employed to further enhance the alternate configurations obtainable using the safety shield of this invention.

A variable speed drive system for a carding machine employs a variable pitch pulley assembly that rotates the feed cylinder and doffer cylinder at a constant slow speed as the sliver is made up to the coiler can, and after a predetermined time lapse the speed of the feed cylinder and doffer automatically and progressively increase at a fixed speed ratio from the slow speed condition to a constant high speed condition. If the sliver is not made up properly within the time lapse, the operation of the feed cylinder and doffer cylinder is automatically terminated.
