Introduction

Steven R. Wilcox is an inventor associated with Mount Laurel, New Jersey, and Brandt, Inc. His work includes an invention for evaluating and sorting sheets as they move at high speed through document-handling equipment.

Latest Patents

The supplied information identifies one patent for Wilcox: “Method and Apparatus for Evaluating and Sorting Sheets in a High Speed [Document Handling Apparatus].” The invention uses electronic solid-state circuitry and a microprocessor to control document-handling equipment. Sensors examine sheets as they pass through an inspection area, while the microprocessor adjusts lamp brightness and sensor gain, tracks each sheet, and evaluates its condition. A controlled gating roller then directs each sheet to an output stacker based on the evaluation. The system synchronizes its electronic circuitry with the document-handling apparatus and allows operators to select and adjust the conditions being tested. Wilcox is credited with 1 patent.
