Provided are methods and apparatuses for controlling a position of a target point on a processing result relative to a focus point of a focusing sensor system for determining properties of the processing result. The method includes the steps of determining an initial focus point of the focusing sensor system, controlling rotation of the cartridge and disc, checking whether the initial focus point of the focusing sensor system corresponds to the target point on the processing result, comparing (x, y) target positions in captured images with the initial focus point of the focusing sensor system, adjusting rotation of the cartridge and disc such that the focus point of the focusing sensor system corresponds to the target point on the processing result, and detecting and examining signals received from the focusing sensor system for determining properties of the processing result.

Provided is a centrifuge apparatus for a processing cartridge, including a rotary plate and at least one cartridge holder, and the cartridge holder is rotatable around its centre axis and arranged off-centre the centre axis of the rotary plate and comprises an inner side wall surrounding a through-going passage, wherein the through-going passage is able to accommodate the processing cartridge; and the inner side wall includes a resilient locking assembly for interaction with at least one cooperating first abutting surface on the processing cartridge, such that the processing cartridge may be inserted into the through-going passage and releasably secured by the locking assembly; and at least one stopping element for interaction with at least one cooperating second abutting surface on the processing cartridge, the at least one stopping element being arranged to retain the processing cartridge at a desired vertical level when the cartridge is releasably secured.

Electro-pneumatic loom shedding system

A belt system is disclosed for transferring a data carrier between a magazine and a data reader for use in a data carrier loader of the type wherein the data reader is moved, within the loader housing, over the stationary magazine in the housing to transfer a data carrier therebetween. The belt system includes two belt assemblies, which are carried on the data reader and which are disposed for engaging opposite lateral sides of a data carrier in the magazine. A mechanical linkage is provided for moving the assemblies toward and away from the lateral sides of the data carrier, the linkage being a reciprocating linkage which can be moved in either direction by means of an internally threaded element, which engages a pivotable element of the linkage, the internally threaded element being moved by a rotating threaded rod received therein. When the belt assemblies engage the data carrier, the belt is rotated in a selected direction either to lift the data carrier from the magazine into the reader or to remove the data carrier from the reader and replace it in the magazine.
