An air temperature regulating assembly is provided having a packed rock bed through which air may flow between outer and inner spaces by way of interstices between rock units in order to transfer heat to or from the rock bed, in use. The AFE digitalizes an analog signal from an image capture apparatus. The back shell allows for angular configurations of the cable and connector by including flexible bellows through which the conductors extend. The second baffle having a second portion is disposed in the second housing. In the said method the clamping force of the thread clamp in the bringer rapier is additionally controlled during the weft insertion in such a way that the clamping force during the take-up of the weft thread andor during the transfer of the weft thread is reduced relative to the clamping force in the insertion phase lying therebetween.
