An electronic device for detecting the weight of a capsule for a pharmaceutical product is provided with: a plurality of detection electrodes, which face a respective one of a plurality of sectors into which the capsule is divided in a main extension direction thereof, each one of the detection electrodes forming a respective detection capacitor with a common plate defined by a capsule-holding element which holds the capsule; and an electronic circuit having a plurality of detection stages, each operatively coupled to a respective one of the detection electrodes so as to detect, in an independent and exclusive manner, a capacitive variation of the respective detection capacitor and to generate a respective output quantity, which is a function of the capacitive variation and indicative of the weight of the respective sector of the capsule.

Electronic device for detecting the weight of capsules for pharmaceutical products

Apparatus for dosing powdery or granulated materials in capsules, or the like. The apparatus comprises an engine associated with a transducer controlling chuting means. The engine imparts to the chuting means movements which are proportional to an electric signal controlled by an electronic control unit. The movements of the chuting means, together with the regulation of the spatial position assumed by the chuting means, are such to accurately dose the powdery or granulated material in the bases of the capsules.

An apparatus for weighing liquid in a bottle, in particular a pharmaceutical bottle. The apparatus has at least one measuring cell, and a conveying device for feeding a number of bottles through the measuring cell along a path. The apparatus is characterized in that the measuring cell has an actual measuring section preceded and followed, respectively, by a first guard section and a second guard section, which reduce the effect of adjacent bottles on the measurement.

A method for quality control of spot welding in a welding machine, consisting in estimating the energy of the welding spot through the integral of the welding power, the integration extremes of which are determined by the time interval between two successive zero crossings of the welding current.

Method for quality control of spot welding in welding machines

An apparatus for checking the dimensions of mechanical workpieces in movement with respect to the apparatus, including at least one feeler adapted to cooperate with the surface of the workpiece, or workpieces, at least one transducer connected to the feeler for providing a signal responsive to the dimensions, processing apparatus connected to the transducer for processing the signal and providing a measurement signal, the processing apparatus including a limiter circuit adapted to receive the signal responsive to the dimensions and limit it as to variations in a pre-established direction, providing a relative output signal, output apparatus connected to the processing means to receive and utilize the measurement signal and control apparatus. The processing apparatus include a further limiter circuit, adapted to receive the output signal of the first limiter circuit and carry out limitations regarding even variations in the opposite direction to the pre-established one, the resultant signal being utilized to obtain the measurement signal. The control apparatus enables and inhibits the further limiter circuit.
