Appl. No.:

9/299520

Inventors:

James W. Cross - Livonia MI

Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA

International Classification:

G01N 904

US Classification:

250375

Abstract:

An optical sensor for detecting a document moving along a document path. The invention provides at least two light paths across the document path, so that the document breaks at least one of the light paths as it moves along the document path, and this broken light path indicates the presence of the document. In an exemplary embodiment, the optical sensor comprises a photo-emitter that emits light across the document path to provide the first light path. A first reflector is optically coupled to the photo-emitter, and receives and reflects the light emitted by the photo-emitter. At least a second reflector is optically coupled to the first reflector to receive the light from the first reflector and to reflect that light across the document path to provide the second data path. A photo-detector is disposed across the light path from the second reflector and is optically coupled to the second reflector. The photo-detector is operable to detect the presence of the document by detecting when the document has broken at least one of the light paths.

US Classification:

72 58

Abstract:

A die assembly having die structures that are cooperable to define a die cavity into which a metallic tubular blank can be disposed. A first die structure is moveable to seal the die cavity, and after the die cavity is sealed, the first and second die structures are moveable to reduce the cross-sectional area of the die cavity and thereby deform the metallic tubular blank within the die cavity.
