Method for performing measurements of logs in a production line and production line for implementing the method

A line is disclosed for producing logs of web material provided with a system for controlling, in real time, one or more parameters of the logs produced by the line and for facilitating any corrective actions. The line includes a rewinder, a feed path for the logs from the rewinder towards at least one station arranged downstream of the rewinder; and a measurement station. The measurement station includes at least a measurement device for measuring at least one parameter of logs randomly selected from the feed path and held in the measurement station, for example a device for measuring the firmness of the logs. The measurement station further includes first transferring members for transferring selected logs from the feed path to the measurement station, and second transferring members for transferring selected logs from the measurement station to the feed path.

IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus including an image forming unit and a first control unit which controls the image forming unit, a varnish application apparatus provided downstream in a sheet conveyance direction with respect to the image forming apparatus and including a varnish application unit which applies varnish to a sheet and a second control unit which controls the varnish application unit, and a sheet conveyance apparatus provided between the image forming apparatus and the varnish application apparatus in the sheet conveyance direction and including a receiving roller which receives a sheet discharged from the image forming apparatus, a processing unit which performs predetermined processing on a sheet present in the sheet conveyance apparatus, and a third control unit which controls the processing unit, wherein the first control unit is capable of communicating with the second control unit and the third control unit.

The present invention provides compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, and methods of using the same for the modulation of one or more SWI/SNF-related matrix associated actin dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily A (SMARCA) and/or polybromo-1 (PB-1) protein via ubiqitination and/or degradation by compounds. The compounds are useful in treatment of cancer.

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING PARAMETERS OF LOGS OF WEB MATERIAL

The device (9) includes a feed path (P) of the logs (R), configured to feed the logs in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the logs; and one or more pick-up members (27) spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the feed path (P) of the logs (R). The pick-up members are adapted to pick up individual logs (R) from a pick-up position along the feed path (P); and transfer each log (R) from the measuring position back to the feed path substantially in the position in which it was picked up.

ADJUSTING TENSION OF A SUBSTRATE

An example method comprises operating a drive unit to advance a substrate in a substrate advance direction toward a printing station. At the printing station, a first line is printed onto the substrate. A drive unit is instructed to advance the substrate in the substrate advance direction by a target amount, and a second line is printed onto the substrate. The distance between the first and second lines in a direction perpendicular to the substrate advance direction is calculated and, based on the calculated difference, a tension of the substrate is modified.

ADAPTIVE SHEET CALIPER CONTROL SYSTEM AND APPARATUS AND METHODS

The present invention provides an adaptive control system to control a plant using direct output feedback in which a function of the full plant state, as opposed to estimates thereof, is used for feedback control of the plant. The adaptive control system of this invention is therefore highly useful in the control of plants, particularly plants for controlling the physical properties of rolls of web material and more particularly a calendering apparatus. Accordingly, in a particularly preferred embodiment the adaptive control system of this invention controls loading of a calender apparatus, such as a pair of opposed rolls forming a calendering stack, based upon the physical properties of a previously processed web.
