ABSTRACT:
A method has been invented of providing feedback regarding tolerance for a dimension of a concrete block in relation to a datum in a computer-based system with a CPU, an input connected to the CPU, a memory associated with the CPU, a data transmitter connected to the CPU, a controller card connected to the data transmitter, an ultrasound transducer connected to the controller card, a timing device connected to the controller card, a memory means associated with the controller card, a feedback device connected to the controller card, and an environmental adaptator. Also, the invention can be described as an environmentally adaptable computer-based apparatus utilizing ultrasound for providing feedback regarding the dimensional quality of concrete blocks positioned on pallets traveling on a conveyor. The apparatus has a first memory for controlling a CPU, an input, an ultrasound transducer, a timing device, a second memory, a controller card, a data transmitter, a CPU, and a feedback device.
