Abstract: The present invention comprises a device and method for feeding a cut loose-leaf material such as, for example tobacco, from a weight scale; dropping the tobacco into a hopper; comprising the tobacco into the desired size, shape, and density; and packaging the loose-leaf tobacco product. Packaging is accomplished by wrapping an inner foil (18) and overwrap label (24) around an arbor (16) on a rotating arbor wheel (12). The package is constructed in various stages as the arbor wheel rotates to various positions. The inner foil is fed and wrapped around the arbor without extending the foil below the body of the package so that the foil does not form a bottom end. The foil extends above the body of the package and is folded to form a top end. An outer label having a sufficient length to extend past the top and bottom of the arbor is overwrapped about the foil innerwrap. The overwrap label extending past the bottom of the arbor is folded and glued over the foil innnerwrap to form a top end to the package. The loose-leaf tobacco is compressed and pushed through the arbor into the open end of the package. The package of tobacco is forced off of the arbor wheel and the open end of the package is folded and glued as the package is transported therefrom.

Date Feb. 16, 1995Very large amounts of data may be handled by the user interface of computers. The main processor is thus permanently overloaded, so that the computing power available for the actual application is sharply reduced in a manner that cannot be predicted without limiting the user requests. A new computer architecture is disclosed which allows a higher and more exactly predictable computing power to be achieved. In order to make the rest of the system independent from the user interface, the computer is subdivided in such a way that a first module (part 1) takes over the display and operation tasks of the user interface, a second module (part 2) takes over the processing of the application programs without their user interface, and a third module (part 3) takes over the remaining functional units. All modules have their own internal data paths. An interface between the first and second modules support the exchange of messages and data without affecting the independent processes in the first and second modules. The first and second modules have their own access paths to common devices located in the third module.

The washer is manufactured from a shape-memory metal whose upper transformation temperature is higher than the highest use and assembly temperature of the coupling. The thickness of the washer is adapted in view of the length and pre-tensioning need of the fastening element, as well as the expansion of the washer at the upper transformation temperature. The washer is actively heated to its upper transformation temperature and undergoes a phase transformation which expands the washer and pre-tensions the coupling to the desired degree.

Abstract: In a method of rotational moulding coated granules of a first moulding material are mixed with a second moulding material preferably in powdered form. During the moulding process, the coating promotes separation of the granules from the other material before being absorbed and as a result a multi-layer moulding is produced. The granules may be of a different material from the second moulding material. Specifically, the granules may contain a foaming agent to produce a foamed layer intimately attached to the other layer.

Granted: 1999-10-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing copolyesters which involves two steps. The first step is a diol interchange step, and the second step is a polycondensation step. More specifically, the process involves (I) reacting in the presence of a polycondensation catalyst a dihydroxy terephthalate-containing compound having the formula:   <IMAGE>   wherein n is 1 to 10 and at least 99% of the endgroups are ethylene glycol moieties; and 0.01 to 10 moles, based on moles of the dihydroxy terephthalate-containing compound, of a diol, and (II) polycondensing the reaction product of Step (I) to form a copolyester while excess diol is removed until desired molecular weight is obtained. This process does not include a transesterification of a dialkyl ester reaction or an esterification reaction which are usually used to produce copolyesters. Moreover, this process allows for polyethylene terephthalate and copolyesters prepared therefrom to be produced on an integrated production line.

Abstract: A composition and method are provided for inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation following injury to the endothelial cell lining of a blood vessel such as resulting from angioplasty, vascular bypass surgery or organ transplantation. The composition is a matrix such as a biodegradable hydrogel made of a synthetic polymer, protein or polysaccharide seeded with vascular endothelial cells which can be xenografts, allografts or autografts, or genetically engineered cells. Attachment of cells to the matrix can be enhanced by coating with collagen, laminin, fibronectin, fibrin, basement membrane components or attachment peptides. Biologically active compounds such as anti-inflammatory agents may also be contained in the matrix. In the method, the matrix containing endothelial cells is implanted in a patient at a site adjacent the injury such as by wrapping the matrix around the blood vessel. The endothelial cells secrete products that diffuse into surrounding tissue but do not migrate to the endothelial cell lining of the blood vessel. The endothelial cells may be obtained by biopsy of the patient into which the matrix is implanted and the cells can be cultured in the matrix in vitro and then implanted in vivo.
