To provide a heater control apparatus capable of checking, during initial installation, whether heaters and temperature sensors are connected together so as to be correctly paired, and whether the outputs from the temperature sensors are correct. The present invention is characterized in that a heater control apparatus comprises a large number of heaters, each provided so as to correspond to each of a large number of yarn processing units installed in parallel; a large number of temperature sensors each provided so as to pair with each of the heaters and detecting the temperature of the heaters; a large number of switches each provided so as to pair with each of the heaters and turning on and off the power to the heaters; a switch control device for sequentially turning on and off the large number of switches to sequentially provide power to the large number of heaters; and a combination determining device for determining whether a temperature sensor that has detected the temperature of an activated heater should be paired with said heaters.

In a winder provided with a control device capable of independently controlling rotational speeds of both motors for a friction roller having a winding package placed thereon and a traverse mechanism, a driving method for a winder comprising: obtaining a difference between an output of a first sensor for detecting a rotational speed of a package and an output of a second sensor for detecting a rotational speed of a friction roller, attenuating the difference to an adjustable value to prepare a correction value, subtracting the correction value from the output of the second sensor, and using the result obtained therefrom as a control input of the both motors to enable selection of a plurality of winding patterns.

A process for producing a corn milling residue carboxymethyl ether salt comprises reacting a corn milling residue with alkali in the presence of an aqueous carboxymethylating agent solution to give a corn milling residue carboxymethyl ether salt with an average degree of substitution not less than 0.2. As the reaction medium, water alone is used in a proportion of at least 7 moles per mole of the corn milling residue. Carboxymethylation of the corn milling residue is accomplished evenly and smoothly.

An automatic winder is provided with a tension sensor for detecting the tension of travelling yarn in each winding unit and a tensor for controlling the tension of yarn in accordance with a yarn tension variation signal provided from the tension sensor, to thereby eliminate the variation of yarn tension.

Automatic winder

In an automatic winder, presence or absence of a yarn on a package side and a yarn on a yarn supply bobbin side is detected during one cycle of yarn joining operation of a winding unit, and the winding unit after completion of a yarn joining operation is selectively instructed that an indication that yarn joining is impossible is to be made or that yarn joining is to be waited for.

Yarn joining controlling method for automatic winder

In an automatic winder having a plurality of winding units, a tension sensor for detecting the tension of yarn is provided in a yarn travelling path extending between a yarn feed side bobbin and a take-up side package. A take-up controller for controlling the yarn take-up rate in accordance with a signal provided from the tension sensor may be provided to the winding unit.

A method of detecting a defect of a running yarn comprises steps of producing an electric signal in accordance with a winding speed of a yarn, correcting a reference value corresponding to a length of a defect of a yarn in accordance with the electric signal, and comparing the thus corrected reference value with a detection signal produced from a yarn defect detecting head thereby to detect a defect of the yarn included in the yarn during feeding.
