9. A method for calculating the caliper of the singleface web upstream of a glue machine comprised of the steps of:
a. upstream of the glue machine, running the singleface web around a first idler roll with an approximate 180\xb0 degree wrap with the flute tips of the singleface web in contact with the roll, and;
b. subsequently running the singleface web around a second idler roll with an approximately 180\xb0 degree wrap with the top surface of the singleface web in contact with the roll, and;
c. using the measurement of the respective angular velocities and radii of the rolls to compute an estimate of the caliper of the singleface web.
10. A method for calculating the caliper of the singleface web in a corrugator comprising the steps of:
a. running the singleface web around a first idler roll with an approximate 180\xb0 degree wrap with the flute tips of the singleface web in contact with the roll, and;
b. subsequently running the singleface web around a second idler roll with an approximately 180\xb0 degree wrap with the top surface of the singleface web in contact with the roll, and;
c. using the measurement of the respective angular velocities and radii of the rolls to compute an estimate of the caliper of the singleface web.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An attenuator pad adapter for utilizing a first attenuator pad in place of a second attenuator pad on a printed circuit board, wherein said first and second attenuator pads are shaped differently, said attenuator pad adapter comprising:
a body portion having first and second opposite ends;
a plurality of pins extending from said first end;
a plurality of openings in said second end of said body portion for receiving pins on an end of said first attenuator pad, said pins of said first attenuator pad arranged differently than said pins extending from said first end of said body portion, and said openings in said second end of said body portion allowing said pins of said first attenuator pad to electrically connect with said pins extending from said first end of said body portion of said attenuator pad adapter.
2. The attenuator pad of claim 1 wherein said plurality of pins extending from said first end of said body portion of said attenuator adapter pad correspond with pins of said second attenuator pad.
3. The attenuator pad of claim 1 wherein said first attenuator pad is square and said second attenuator pad is round.
4. The attenuator pad adapter of claim 1 further comprising a slot in said second end for detachably receiving said end of said first attenuator pad.
5. The attenuator pad of claim 4 wherein said plurality of openings in said second end of said body portion are arrange within said slot for receiving said pins of said first attenuator pad when said end of said first attenuator pad is detachably received within said slot.
6. The attenuator pad of claim 1 wherein said openings in said second end of said body portion are arranged to correspond with a JXP footprint.
7. The attenuator pad of claim 1 wherein said body portion is round.
8. The attenuator pad of claim 1 wherein said body portion comprises a plurality of resilient hook portions.
9. The attenuator pad of claim 8 wherein said resilient hook portions correspond with a footprint on the printed circuit board for receiving a pad guide.
10. An attenuator pad adapter for utilizing a square attenuator pad in place of a round attenuator pad on a printed circuit board, said attenuator pad adapter comprising:
a body portion having first and second opposite ends;
a plurality of pins extending from said first end;
a slot in said second end for detachably receiving an end of said square attenuator pad; and
a plurality of openings in said slot for receiving pins on said end of said square attenuator pad, said pins of said square attenuator pad arranged differently than said pins extending from said first end of said body portion, and said openings allowing said pins of said square attenuator pad to electrically connect with said pins extending from said first end of said body portion of said attenuator pad adapter.
11. The attenuator pad of claim 10 wherein said plurality of pins extending from said first end of said body portion of said attenuator adapter pad correspond with pins of said round attenuator pad.
12. The attenuator pad of claim 10 wherein said body portion comprises a plurality of resilient hook portions.
13. The attenuator pad of claim 12 wherein said resilient hook portions correspond with a footprint on the printed circuit board for receiving a pad guide.
14. A method for utilizing a replacement attenuator pad in place of another attenuator pad intended for use on a printed circuit board where the other attenuator pad is configured differently from said replacement attenuator pad, said method comprising the steps of:
mounting said replacement attenuator pad to a body portion of an attenuator pad adapter;
electrically interconnecting pins extending from said body portion of said attenuator pad adapter to pins extending from said replacement attenuator pad; and
receiving said pins extending from said body portion of said attenuator pad adapter within a footprint of the printed circuit board configured for said other attenuator pad.
