A high speed printer elevator control mechanism includes an elevator frame having a paper guide chute for guiding paper into a bin and rides up and down in the bin responsive to an electric motor drive. The elevator moves a pre-determined distance above the paper being stacked in the bin responsive to control signals initiated by counting the paper being stacked in the bin. A pair of paper control strips or flappers are mounted to the elevator frame for guiding the paper in the bin and a switch is mounted to the elevator frame adjacent one of the flappers so that the switch is actuated by the movement of the paper control strip to generate a signal by each movement thereof. The signals are counted by the microprocessor which initiates the command to move the elevator.

A digitizing CCD array system calibrates the CCD array precisely, masks a data medium automatically, and recovers data from the data medium accurately. The system uses a substantially opaque film mask to eliminate the effects of diffused light and flare during a digitization process when the data medium is smaller than an illumination source. A multiple optical density filters are used in calibrating the CCD array to provide a precise optical density reference for digitization of the data medium. In addition, the invention increases contrast sensitivity in data recovery by selectively switching the CCD array on and off to control the duration of multiple exposure times, i. e. , integration periods, during a single line scan.

A cam drive system having parallel input and output shafts and means for rotating the input shaft includes a plurality of cams coupled at intervals around the periphery of the input shaft. Each cam utilizes a camming surface which incorporates a radially outwardly sweeping step section and a constant radius dwell section positioned adjacent to each step section. A plurality of cam followers are coupled at intervals around the periphery of the output shaft. Each cam follower is aligned to engage a single one of the cams. The present invention converts the continuous rotation of the input shaft into intermittant displacements of the output shaft.

An apparatus and method using non-destructive testing and evaluation analyzes pipes to accurately measure the depth of corrosion and/or erosion in the pipe. Two penetrameter shims are attached to the outside surface of the pipe near the area of corrosion. Then, a radiograph of the pipe in the area of corrosion is generated using an X-ray source and an X-ray sensitive film. The radiograph is subsequently digitized, and the digital information is entered into a computer. A computer operator (user) is then asked to input several parameters concerning the diameter of the pipe, the thickness of the shims, etc. , using, for example, a keyboard and to select the areas of interest using, for example, a computer mouse. All the while the computer operator is navigated through several user-friendly screens in a window environment driven by a Graphical User Interface. After all the required user input is entered into the computer program, the extent of corrosion in the area indicated by a cursor is displayed on the screen.
