J. A. Richards Company - Kalamazoo MI

International Classification:

B21D 905

US Classification:

72386

Abstract:

A metal forming tool having a reciprocal ram carrying tubular beam to which is attached a metal plate upon which workpiece holders are mounted, the tubular beam having a pivotal support to allow the tool to be pivoted between a vertical position in which the ram reciprocates vertically and a horizontal position in which the ram reciprocates horizontally. The workpiece holders are independently and detachably secured to the work platform by means located behind the workpiece holders on a line parallel to the line of movement of the ram, so that the tool performs both press and bending functions, and also workpieces with severe or multiple bends can be formed or straightened without excess obstruction by the securing means.

Abstract:

An underwater camera and water quality monitoring system provides the capability of shooting video or time lapse photography together with recording water condition or quality measurements in an integrated device for stationary, submerged deployment in a body of water under study. The underwater camera and water quality monitoring system has a configurable delay from submerged deployment in the waterway until image/video recording and water quality measurement sampling begins, allowing aquatic life activity to resume in the vicinity after disruption of the system deployment. The monitoring device may be used in combination with recognition software utilizing artificial intelligence techniques to identify species or individuals observed during monitoring.
