Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A band detection sensor includes LEDs configured to radiate detection light onto one side of a web, photodiodes configured to receive the detection light reflected by the web and output a detection signal corresponding to the detection light, and a discrimination section configured to discriminate bands on the web on the basis of the detection signal from the photodiodes, wherein the discrimination section includes a rise discriminating criterion indicating a rate of rise of the detection signal and generates a band signal indicative of the presence of a band when change of the detection signal fulfills the rise discriminating criterion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed: 1. A band detection sensor for detecting bands arranged on one side of a web and spaced from each other in a longitudinal direction of the web, comprising: a light emitter arranged at a location along a travel path of the web and configured to radiate detection light onto the one side of the web; a light receiver arranged at a location along the travel path at a distance from the light emitter along the travel path, the light receiver being configured to r…
