Less than 72-hours after he bonded out of jail
a karate instructor found himself back behind bars
Buchen was released Friday afternoon on a $10,000 surety bond
Those alleged incidents happened back in 2013
The latest victim is a young woman who was both Buchen's employee and karate student
Friday's bond hearing was packed with supporters on both sides
One of them was a mother of three daughters enrolled in Buchen's karate school
"They've never sensed anything like this with him," she said
"They've never had any inclination or witnessed any inappropriateness with him."
the victim was assisting a karate class last February at Hibben United Methodist Church when Buchen told her he had a gift for her in his car
he fondled her and rubbed up against her in a hug embrace
The victim spoke through tears at Friday's hearing
but he lied to me and made me feel like he had my best interest in mind," the young woman said
"That's why I'm speaking out for all the young girls who are his next target
the next generation of athletes also for the families and friends who don't know the truth
He's not who everyone thought he was."
The news was shocking for Justin Wachtengorf
He is one of Buchen's former karate instructors
but commends the young women for bravely coming forward
"It's been very hard especially when I look back and realize I was a part of their lives as this stuff was going on and I didn't have any clue," said Wachtengorf
"I look back and the signs were somewhat there and I didn't know."
The chancellor of Hibben released this statement Friday:
Vision and Automation Solutions for Engineers and Integrators Worldwide
subscriber identity modules (SIMs) with on-board processors and memory store personal phone numbers
SIM connectors from companies such as Amphenol (Wallingford
CT) make contact with the SIM card and the internal electronics
the body of the connectors is only 2 mm high
making them well suited for slim and compact products where the card remains in a fixed position
"Because of the manufacturing volume of the SIM connectors," says Helmut Kohl
engineering manager with heuer Automation (Denkendorf
such as our company's custom SIM inspection system
must rapidly inspect a large number of parts" (see Fig
Automated inspection systems must inspect the height of each pin on each connector
these systems must also inspect the surface alignment of the top of each pin
"In addition to checking the coplanarity of the pins to better than 5 µm," says Kohl
"the system must check parts at rates to 225 per minute
This necessitates performing up to 75 checks per minute on three parts at a time," he adds
heuer Automation engineers use several off-the-shelf lenses
and industrial automation equipment from several vendors
Before individual SIM connectors can be examined
they are loaded in a linear fashion onto a rotary table and index drive from Weiss Sondermaschinentechnik (Buchen/Odenwald
This drive conveys individual SIM parts in a rotary or dial motion to a series of inspection stations that are positioned around the rotary table
Stations on the Weiss index drive are typically set in circular fashion at 0°
and the surface and contact pins are examined at stages two and three
the SIM cards that have passed or failed are loaded into different bins for further processing
contacts on both the top and the side of the SIM cards are checked (see Fig
the parts dwell for a fixed period of time until the visual inspection process is completed
To check the pins on the surface of each SIM connector
"the system measures the distance between a number of pins in both horizontal and vertical dimensions." In this way
the dimensional check will ensure that the part is not accepted
To image the surface of such parts presented a complex problem
Because of the tight tolerances associated with the parts
it was necessary to use a telecentric-lens-based camera system
Kohl and his colleagues chose a Simatic VS710 vision sensor from Siemens Co
A machine-vision sensor/processor based on the Profibus standard from Profibus International (Karlsruhe
this sensor combines all the components of an image-processing system within a single housing with a 1/2-in
CCD possessing a 768 × 580-pixel resolution and running at 20 full frames/s
Including an on-board CPU for image processing and memory resident storage
the camera is capable of storing several test programs that are downloaded over the Profibus interface
Using the Siemens ProVision configuration environment
inspection programs are generated off-line on a PC in a Windows environment and then tested and loaded onto the sensor
"several inspection programs can be stored and selectively opened through the interfaces
as well as the teaching of connector patterns (see Fig
connector-pattern calibration data and other variables can be taught and imported through the Profibus interface
After the surfaces of parts have been inspected
the pins at the bottom of each SIM connector must be inspected for coplanarity
Kohl and his colleagues could not use conventional C-mount lenses on the VS 710 vision sensor
"Checking the coplanarity of pins on the SIM connectors is crucial
and conventional lenses are apt to produce distorted images," Kohl says
The company chose the S5LPJ2299 telecentric lens from Sill Optics (Wendelstein
Germany) to capture images across the field of view of the connector
Using this lens attached to the CCD camera enables the vision inspection system to capture images that yield constant magnification over a defined working-distance range—in this case 92 mm from the surface area of the connector
the telecentric lens allows the vision sensor to measure the coplanarity of the pins to better than 5 µm
As the contacts of each connector are inspected
results from each inspection are transmitted over the Profibus and displayed on a PC-based monitor
After each inspection has produced a pass/fail result
the parameters are stored in an S7 machine controller from Siemens
"Although telecentric lenses allowed us to perform an exact measurement of the coplanarity of the pins," says Kohl
special parallel LED lighting was required." The problem was to illuminate the small pins on the SIM connectors as they were placed within the field of view of the two Simatic VS710 vision sensors
each of which view the connector from opposite sides
Parallel light from a red light-emitting diode (LED) projected from under the SIM carrier is reflected from the SIMs
the telecentric lenses capture a linear shadow from the pins
This allows parallel light to illuminate the parts from both sides
the parallel light passing through the lenses always represents the image independent of the distance the object is from the lens
Because each part fits within a nest as it moves around the rotary table
it needs to be picked from the nest using this illumination so that the underlying pins can be accurately inspected
each Simac VS710 image sensor is again programmed using the ProVision program
Kohl and his colleagues developed individually tailored algorithms and ported them to the image sensor for on-line inspection (see Fig
the Weiss rotary table and index drive rotate the known good SIM connectors to the next stage of inspection using the S7 controller
To offload the parts from the inspection system for further processing
heuer Automation engineers employed a high-speed picker from Festo (Esslingen
Germany)—a machine well suited to working in small spaces such as for the heuer Automation system design
As the table indexes to the fourth and fifth stages
the parts are then removed by two Festo pickers in a similar fashion
As new parts appear at the next stage of the process
the rotary table is again incremented and the complete procedure is repeated
The complete system relies on the S7 as the master PLC to coordinate the number of cameras and table motions; each camera and automation process is controlled as a Profibus node on a single RS-485 cable network with local S7 I/O signals
This modular architecture eliminates the wires otherwise needed from the cameras to the S7 controller and the automation processes
substantially reducing machine production costs
heuer Automation engineers added object-oriented libraries with structured code to the machine's specific control requirements
With nearly 400 million mobile phones sold in 2001
according to market-researcher Dataquest (San Jose
the market for automated component testing of SIMs and other telecommunications and automotive-based connectors is expected to increase during the coming decade
greater demand is estimated to increase the throughput and quality of all parts in the manufacturing process
companies such as heuer Automation and others will likely leverage off-the-shelf machine-vision and factory-automation components to rapidly deploy custom-made inspection systems
a Charleston-area karate instructor arrested in January after being accused of sexually abusing two former students
Charleston County jail records show Buchen
and booked into the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center shortly before 8 a.m
Buchen is charged with second degree assault and battery
the new charge stems from allegations by a former student of Buchen's karate school
The former student claims Buchen asked her to come outside so he could give her a gift after helping him teach a karate class at Hibben United Methodist Church in Mount Pleasant
the victim says Buchen forcefully hugged her
The victim told investigators she came forward after seeing reports of Buchen's December 2017 arrest by Charleston Police
Buchen was released from jail Tuesday, Jan. 30, after posting $300,000 bond related to his arrest Jan. 16 on two charges of criminal sexual conduct of a minor
Affidavits provided by Charleston Police showed Buchen allegedly molested the two girls
while they were attending his martial arts camp during the summer of 2013
A message on the Buchen Martial Arts school's website acknowledges the accusations against its namesake
A statement on the website reads as follows:
An official with Hibben United Methodist Church said Friday the church was unaware of the allegations against Buchen on its property prior to Buchen's arrest Friday
Buchen taught karate to pre-school aged children at the church
A judge Friday morning set Buchen's bond at $10,000
