Abstract: An apparatus for adjustably positioning an object of interest is described, and which includes an imaging device which is mounted in spaced relation to an object of interest, and which further forms an image of a feature of the object of interest during operation; an adjustment device mounted in force transmitting relation relative to the object of interest an which imparts force to the object of interest to maintain the object of interest along a course of travel; and a controller coupled in controlling relation relative to the adjustment device, and in signal receiving relation relative to the imaging device.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for sorting foreign material and undesirable articles from a product stream. A mechanical diverter having a concave shape is responsive to an inspection station coupled to the product stream. The mechanical diverter is employed to effectively launch or otherwise redirect undesirable articles in an alternate path. In addition, an air ejector is responsive to the inspection station and is employed to dislodge foreign material from the product stream.
