A conveyor element (2) of a conveyor device conveys bar-shaped products (1) orthogonal to a longitudinal direction (x) of the bar-shaped products (1) oriented in a conveying direction (y). A trigger device (3) provides a trigger signal (S) each time the conveyor element (2) has traveled a predetermined interval. Based upon the respective trigger signal (S), an image (B) is acquired by a camera (4). The image (B) shows front ends of the products (1) in a respective section of the conveyor element (2) corresponding at least to the predetermined interval. Based upon the acquired images (B), the number of bar-shaped products (1) conveyed by the conveyor element (2) is determined. |

A fragment counting and control system, consisting of mechanical and electronic components such as a fragment counting execution mechanism, a sensor platform, various sensors, a signal counting and processing instrument, a timer, a motor driver and the like. A fragment falls onto the sensor platform from the outlet of the fragment counting execution mechanism, such that the sensor on the sensor platform generates a signal; the signal is transmitted to the signal counting and processing instrument; the signal counting and processing instrument processes the signal and compares the processed signal with a preset value; the processing instrument transmits a control signal to the timer and the motor driver according to the ratio; the timer controls the motor driver to start and stop; the motor driver processes the processing instrument signal, and transmits a driver signal to the motor; and the motor changes rotation according to the driver signal so as to drive a vertical shaft to change rotation, thus controlling the frequency of falling fragments. |

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for counting components, the apparatus including: a separating part separating a plurality of components into individual components; pipes moving the components separated by the separating part therethrough; a counting part positioned on the pipes to count the components passing through the pipes; and a vacuum sucking part positioned at distal ends of the pipes. Therefore, it is possible to accurately and rapidly count the number of micro electronic components. In addition, it is possible to track loss of electronic components generated between processes by accurately and rapidly counting the electronic components. |

A surgical sponge detection system includes a device for automatically counting soiled surgical sponges which includes a reader which scans each sponge entered and determines sponge type from a tag affixed to each sponge and a control unit which processes data received from reader contained within sponges entered. The reader includes a non-optical scanner means which can read an indicating means on the sponges even when the indicating means is covered with blood or other body fluids. |

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dispensing varying quantities of pills quickly, conveniently, securely, accurately operable to incorporate one or more sensors and at least two data sets for the purpose of monitoring the activity of transferring pills from a pill singulation to a bottle. For example, a counting means may be operable, in real-time or near-real time, to count the pills transferred to a bottle. A sensor array data-acquisition means may be utilized to facilitate the collection and monitoring of data relating to transfer of pills to a bottle. The counting means and sensor array data-acquisition means may be applied in a cooperative manner so as to facilitate examinations for the purpose of identifying pill events, such as overlapping pill dispensing, that have the potential to invalidate the counting means results. |

An improved device for measuring the count and frequency of seeds in a stream of seeds is described. The device is useful for measuring the frequency and accuracy of seed planting devices. A seed counting system can include an imaging region, an image sensing device, and a lens between the imaging region and the image sensing device. An optical distance extender between the imaging region and the lens, creates an effective optical distance between the imaging region and the lens that is substantially greater than the physical distance between the imaging region and the lens, thereby providing a substantial depth of field. |

A deposit beverage container counting device in which containers can be visually inspected while sliding down an inclined feed channel having an abrupt downward bend of about 15 degrees to cause the containers to accelerate suddenly, singulating the containers; that is, creating or increasing the space between containers, which enables accurate counting. The singulated containers pass into a sensor housing that contains a photoelectric sensor that senses the passing of each container and sends a signal to one or more counters. The counter(s) keeps track of the count, and displays the count on a LCD or LED display. Multiple counters can be provided to enable both the operator and customers to see the count display. The electronic components are preferably low voltage, low current devices using transistorized circuits. The counting device preferably is battery-powered, and has no moving parts. |

The device (10) according to the invention for counting and detecting flat products (14) comprises a light source (16) having an illumination beam profile (24), an optical sensor (18) having a detection beam profile (30) and an evaluation unit (20) connected to the optical sensor (18). The detection beam profile (30) overlaps the illumination beam profile (24) in a detection region in which a section (33) of a surface profile of the flat products (14) is illuminated, the section being at least partially delimited by the illumination beam profile (24). A detection signal generated by the optical sensor (18) is fed to the evaluation unit (20), which determines therefrom the number of flat products located in the detection region. |

A counting system is for counting the number of persons passing a monitor line set in the width direction of a path, and has a laser for irradiating the monitor line with a slit ray, and an image capturing apparatus for photographing an area including the monitor line. In the image capturing apparatus, one-dimensional data indicative of a position in which the slit ray is interrupted on the monitor line is generated from an image obtained by the photographing. On the basis of the one-dimensional data, the number of passing persons is counted. By counting the number of passing persons with the one-dimensional data, a very light computation load for the counting can be achieved. |
