Described is a device for supporting cables for articulated vehicles, designed for installation close to a connecting compartment between two adjacent units of an articulated vehicle, including at least one flexible connecting element fixed to the two units and formed by a series of plates connected to each other by interposing deformable laminar elements consisting of elastic metal elements which allow the elastic deformation of the flexible connecting element, and a series of cable-holder elements joined to respective plates of the flexible connecting element to each define at least one receiving seat provided for housing at least one cable, with supporting means for supporting the flexible connecting element containing the cables.

Device for supporting cables for articulated vehicles

Described is a device for connecting between the bellows and the frame of articulated vehicles, including a connecting element having a hooking portion which can be coupled to an end edge of a bellows, and an engagement portion which can be inserted in a compartment defined by a rigid support of the frame of the vehicle and abutting at least one first inner wall of the compartment; the device also has an elastically deformable insertion element, also positioned in the compartment between the connecting element and a second inner wall, for stably engaging the engagement portion against said first inner wall. The insertion element and the connecting element comprise reciprocal coupling means configured for making a mutual connection between the insertion element and the connecting element.

Connecting device between the bellows and the frame of articulated vehicles

Described is a fixing device for fixing together a first and a second structure, each of said structures having at least a first and a second cavity, the device comprising a first and a second fixing element, each fixing element having a body comprising a seat and a pin, wherein:

Fastening device, insulation unit and corresponding method

A cable supporting device for articulated vehicles, designed for installing in an intercommunicating compartment between two adjacent cabins of an articulated vehicle, including at least one cable-holder element, defining internally at least one channel for housing at least one cable, two anchoring plates connected or connectable to respective ends of the cable-holder element and each configured for stable mounting to a different end portion of the articulated vehicle, and at least one connecting element, positioned for connecting between at least one end of the cable-holder element and the respective anchoring plate. In particular, the connecting element is configured to allow a reciprocal movement, between the respective end of the cable-holder element and the respective anchoring plate, at least about two axes of rotation which are not parallel to each other and preferably perpendicular to each other.

A method of acquiring images of an object arranged on a supporting surface includes providing at least one optical image acquisition apparatus of the object provided with an optical axis; in a work step of the optical apparatus an acquired image is processed to correct a possible perspective distortion of the image and at least one feature of the object is extracted from the processed image. The method further includes associating a known reference plane with the object and, in a configuration step of the optical apparatus preceding the work step, obtaining a corresponding inclination between the reference plane and the optical axis; processing the acquired image in fact comprises identifying a processing mode determined as a function of the corresponding inclination and applying this preset processing mode to correct the possible perspective distortion.

Image acquisition method of object on supporting surface

Data reading systems and methods for operating data readers such as optical code readers and RFID readers. Certain preferred embodiments are directed to data readers having improved operation features for switching between various operation modes such as, for example, switching between handheld/portable mode and fixed mode using an on board inertial sensor such as an accelerometer or gyroscopic device capable of sensing various movements, motions, and/or orientations.

Data reader with multiple modes of operation

In an apparatus for the preparation of a plurality of drinks from cartridges that are provided with an optical code on one of its faces identifying the cartridge itself and the corresponding drink, the reading of the optical code is made more certain and reliable thanks to a stretching member that extends the portion of the face of the cartridge containing the optical code, so as to deform it into a predetermined position, facing the reading window.

Apparatus with cartridges for the preparation of drinks, with activation following the reading of an optical code carried by the cartridge

An extractor device for machine tools which have at least one tool-holder machining head has an annular blowing distributor for generating a tubular gaseous barrier around the tool-holder machining head, and an annular extractor manifold, positioned inside the barrier and concentric with the annular blowing distributor, for extracting shavings and/or dusts created by machining confined in the barrier.

Extractor device for machine tools, welding and manufacturing machines and the like

A method for reading a graphic pattern by illuminating the graphic pattern with at least two groups of light sources, each of the at least two groups of light sources having at least one light source operating according to an illumination cycle that comprises an illumination cycle-portion and a non-illumination cycle-portion. The light sources of one of the at least two groups of light sources are activated according to equal illumination cycles. The illumination cycles of the light sources belong to different ones of the at least two groups of light sources having a reciprocally different timing. Light is gathered from the light sources having been diffused by the graphic pattern on a sensor having a plurality of sensitive points. Light impinging on the plurality of sensitive points is converted, through a conversion cycle of the sensor, point by point into electric signals representative of single points of the graphic pattern, at a same time for all of the plurality of sensitive points.

Method for reading a graphic pattern and acquiring its image

For reading bar and stacked codes, transitions between code elements are determined by crossing points between a sampled video signal, representative of the intensity of light diffused by a code along a scan line thereof, and a low-pass filtered version thereof, or between two low-pass filtered versions thereof. The method is suitable to be implemented through analog or digital hardware, and via software.

Method for locating the transitions between the elements of a bar code

A device for covering and protecting machinery has at least one covering and protective surface and a plurality of modular elements positioned side by side. Each modular element has a central body, on opposite sides of which there extend first and second lateral protrusions, respectively. The ends of the first and second protrusions of two adjacent modular elements overlap in such a way as to form a T shape, and are connected to each other by a cylindrical hinge positioned between them. Each central body, together with at least the first or the second lateral protrusion forms a corresponding portion of the covering and protecting surface, and the surface portions formed by the modular elements are placed side by side in contact with each other so as to make a substantially uninterrupted covering and protecting surface.
