16 results about "Minicomputer" patented technology

A minicomputer, or colloquially mini, is a class of smaller computers that was developed in the mid-1960s and sold for much less than mainframe and mid-size computers from IBM and its direct competitors. In a 1970 survey, The New York Times suggested a consensus definition of a minicomputer as a machine costing less than US$25,000 (equivalent to $161,000 in 2018), with an input-output device such as a teleprinter and at least four thousand words of memory, that is capable of running programs in a higher level language, such as Fortran or BASIC. The class formed a distinct group with its own software architectures and operating systems. Minis were designed for control, instrumentation, human interaction, and communication switching as distinct from calculation and record keeping. Many were sold indirectly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for final end use application. During the two decade lifetime of the minicomputer class (1965–1985), almost 100 companies formed and only a half dozen remained.

Radial bead profile measuring device

UndeterminedIR114096BTire beadMicrocomputer
In this invention, a device has been designed to accurately measure the circumference and weight of a radial tire bead. The goal of this innovation is to increase the accuracy, speed, and efficiency of the quality control process for tires produced in the country's tire manufacturing industry. The main problem with traditional methods, which are performed using templates and traditional scales, is low accuracy, operator dependency, and high error rates. The device is designed using digital image processing technology, which includes a Raspberry Pi camera and the SimpleBlobDetector algorithm in the OpenCV library, to calculate the diameter of the bead with an error of less than 1%. Also, using four load cell sensors equipped with the HX711 module, the weight of the bead is measured with high accuracy (error of 0.35% to 3.18%). The data is processed by the Raspberry Pi minicomputer and the results are displayed instantly on the LCD touch screen. This integrated system increases production efficiency by automating the measurement process and using cost-effective components, making it ideal for tire production lines and quality control laboratories.
