Process for operating a workstation (2) of a textile machine (1) producing cross-wound bobbins (11), especially in the absence of a thread (30) gripped by a cross-wound bobbin changer (23), comprises picking up the thread of a collecting bobbin using a pneumatically operated gripper tube (20) and transferring the thread into the region of a transfer position lying in the pivot path of the opening of a suction nozzle (12). The opening of the suction nozzle is positioned in the region of the transfer position and the thread is taken over by the suction nozzle loaded with negative pressure. The opening of the suction nozzle is displaced into the region of a thread-handling device of the cross-wound bobbin changer and the thread is transferred to the thread-handling device. The thread is attached to a sleeve provided by the cross-wound bobbin changer using the thread-handling device. An Independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out the above process.

The image data of a camera system is corrected. The camera system includes a color camera which supplies three output signals to three separate color channels, in the form of output signal vectors. The output signal vectors, the coefficients of which represent the output signals supplied by the color camera to the three color channels in a specific position lying in the range of observation, are multiplied by a correction matrix, particularly a square one. The corrected output signal vectors are then processed further in the camera system.

A low head water turbine comprising a runner having a cylindrical outer surface and a plurality of similar blades similarly pivotably secured along their inner sides to the outer surface of the runner so as to pivot in the direction of rotation of the runner between a closed position lying adjacent the outer surface of the runner and an open position at an angle thereto. A housing having end walls and a rounded side wall extending therebetween, completely encases the runner and its blades. The runner is eccentrically mounted to end walls of the housing for rotation about a horizontal axis so that the cylindrical outer surface is spaced closer to an upper portion of the housing side wall and farther from a lower portion. A water inlet opening is located in a lower, forward portion of the housing, below the axis of rotation of the runner. A water outlet opening is located in a lower, rearward portion of the housing.
