Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a "Method and apparatus for detecting the placement of components on." This invention provides an apparatus for examining a moving web composed of an interconnected plurality of articles to determine the location of a selected component. The apparatus includes an indicating mechanism for providing marker data corresponding to the presence of a selected article. A metering mechanism generates gauge data corresponding to selected incremental lengths along the article in the movement direction of the web. A designating mechanism provides reference data corresponding to a selected reference point on the article, and a locating mechanism detects position data corresponding to a position of a selected component of the article. An evaluating mechanism processes the reference data, location data, and gauge data to determine a spaced distance between the component and the reference point. A comparator mechanism determines a difference between the spaced distance and a predetermined acceptance spacing range, and a culling mechanism designates selected articles for which the spaced distance is outside of the acceptance spacing range.

Another notable patent is for an "Apparatus for controlling the heating of composite materials." This heating apparatus is located at the end of a diaper production line and is composed of a series of radiant energy sources. These radiant energy sources are controlled to emit differing concentrations of radiant energy. The sources are designed to emit radiant energy that is more absorbent by diaper polymer backing sheets in the first section of the heater and more absorbent by heat-shrinkable diaper elastics in the downstream portion of the heater. Furthermore, the temperature of the heaters is controlled to the desired infrared range by blowing hot air past the heaters and onto the diapers, providing conductive transfer while controlling the infrared radiant energy emitted by the heaters.
