The material strip comprises a plurality of first electrode plates distributed continuously in a feeding direction. The method comprises: shooting with at least one set of camera apparatuses to obtain at least one material strip image; determining whether the material strip image comprises a first marker and a second marker; acquiring a target deviation of the first marker relative to a preset position based on the material strip image in response to determining that the material strip image comprises the first marker; controlling the material strip feeding detection apparatus to perform feeding deviation rectification of the material strip conveyed on a conveying mechanism based on the target deviation, and controlling a cutting mechanism to cut the material strip on the conveying mechanism after the feeding deviation rectification.

A system for creating sets of cards is provided, and includes: a card supply means; a card moving system; a card collecting means to collect a set of cards, each card collecting means of the plurality of card collecting means being provided under the conveyor belt at different positions along the direction of movement of the conveyor belt; a card identifying means to identify the cards carried by the card moving system; and a controlling means to assign each of the identified cards carried by the card moving system to a card collecting means. For each card collecting means, a releasing means is positioned at the same position along the direction of movement of the conveyor belt, the controlling means being adapted to activate the releasing means positioned at the card collecting means when a card passes the card collecting means it is assigned to.

Provided are an image processing apparatus, a control method, and a control program to accurately determine whether or not a deflection of a fed medium has occurred, and to suitably control a feeding of the medium. A medium conveying apparatus includes a feed module to feed a medium, a motion detection module to detect a first change amount in a feeding direction of the medium placed on a medium tray and a second change amount in a direction perpendicular to a placing surface of the medium tray during feeding of the medium, a determination module to determine that a deflection of the medium has occurred when the first change amount is less than a first threshold value and the second change amount is equal to or more than a second threshold value, and a control module to stop feeding the medium according to the determination result.

The present invention discloses a system and method for printing a registered image on a wet wipe. The system includes a printing apparatus having a plurality of ink reservoirs configured to print a plurality of graphics on a fabric. At least one optical sensor is configured to sense the plurality of graphics and one or more perforating components form a plurality of perforations along a length of the fabric. One or more cutting components configured to form a plurality of cuts along a length of the fabric. A packaging apparatus packages the printed material.

A quality control station (2) for a sheet element processing machine, the station having at least one camera (6) arranged for capturing images of sheet elements (4) transported through the quality control station (2), and further having a camera calibration system (10). The camera calibration system (10) having a target holder (12) for holding an optical target (14), and a drive (15) for the target holder (12). The drive (15) is adapted for displacing the target holder (12) between a rest position, in which it is outside of the viewing area (7) of the camera (6), and a calibration position in which it is arranged in the viewing area (7) of the camera (6).

A method for manufacturing a sheet-like member, associated with an absorbent article, using a continuous sheet. The method includes a supplying step, a processing step, and a detecting step. In the supplying step, the continuous sheet is supplied by transferring the continuous sheet to a processing section by transporting the continuous sheet in a direction of transport. The processing step is performed at a predetermined position in the direction of transport, and a portion of the continuous sheet which is to be the absorbent article is processed by the processing section at an interval in the direction of transport. In the detecting step, a trace of the processing left on the continuous sheet is detected. In the supplying step, a direction-of-transport tension value of the continuous sheet at a time of transferring the continuous sheet to the processing section is adjusted based on the detection result.

The present invention discloses an assembled note-issuing device (100) and a self-service financial apparatus equipped therewith, comprising a base (10), a note container (20), a paper delivery assembly (30), a printing assembly (40) and a temporary storage assembly (50) that are arranged on the base (10) successively. The paper delivery assembly (30), the printing assembly (40) and the temporary storage assembly (50) are interconnected with the note container (20) through a note channel; the paper delivery assembly (30) delivers the notes in the note container (20) to the printing assembly (40) through the note channel for printing, and the printing assembly (40) transfers the printed notes to the temporary storage assembly (50) for temporary storage.

Method for controlling the feed of semifinished products in a tyre building process, said method comprising: feeding a semifinished product (10) into a building station (30) adapted to build, through said semifinished product (10), a structural component of a tyre; performing, in an acquisition zone (AZ), a verification to verify the presence of at least one defect of said semifinished product (10); generating a notification signal (NS) as a function of said verification; activating, as a function of said notification signal (NS), a discard device (60), configured for discarding at least one portion of said semifinished product (10) comprising said at least one defect.

A method, apparatus and program product may utilize packaging material quality compensation to sense changes in certain characteristics of a packaging material that can be associated with increased risks of film breaks, and automatically make certain changes in machine settings to mitigate the impact of those enhanced risks.

A sheet feeding device includes a sheet tray, a blower, a feeder, an illuminator, an imager, and circuitry. The sheet tray stacks sheets. The blower blows air to the sheets stacked on the sheet tray and floats an uppermost sheet of the sheets. The feeder feeds the uppermost sheet. The illuminator illuminates the uppermost sheet floating. The imager captures an image including the uppermost sheet illuminated by the illuminator. The circuitry adjusts an imaging condition based on the image captured by the imager.
