A method is proposed for evaluating the optical quality of an article of glazing using a projection technique. The shadow of the article of glazing (3), projected with the aid of a point light source (2, 15), is analysed by a computer-aided camera (6). The illumination at a point (M) of the screen (4) is compared to the illumination at the same point (M) in the absence of the article of glazi...

A method and apparatus for buffing a tread is described. The method comprises mounting a tread on an apparatus capable of buffing the casing engaging surface of said tread, the apparatus buffing the tread such that the grooves are formed on the buffed tread surface. The grooves angularly intercept a tread edge.

A process of producing a thermoplastic polyester series resin foamed material is disclosed, which comprises heating and further foaming a thermoplastic polyester resin foamed material having a crystallinity of not higher than 30% by bringing into contact with water or steam of at least 60 DEG C and then heating the foamed material by bringing into contact with a heating medium other than water of ...

The illumination arrangement is for the visual quality control of highly reflective surfaces. It contains special vertical lights (3,3') in pairs as reflex image sources in a first monitoring region for lateral surfaces (2a,2b) of a base object approaching corners.
