Patent NZ-241762-A (NZ)
Title: Incrementally stretching a zero strain stretch laminate web between opposed pressure applicators with three-dimensional surfaces
Inventor: WEBER GERALD MARTIN
IPC: B29C59/04
Filed: 1992-02-27
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for incrementally stretching "zero strain" stretch laminate webs to impart elasticity thereto in the direction of initial stretching, at least up to the point of initial stretching. The "zero strain" stretch laminate material is formed of at least two plies of material which are either intermittently or substantially continuously secured to one another along at least a portion of their coextensive surfaces while in a substantially untensioned ("zero strain") condition. One of the plies is stretchable and elastomeric, while the second ply is elongatable, but not necessarily elastomeric. The second ply will, upon stretching of the laminate, be at least to a degree permanently elongated so that, upon release of the applied tensile forces, it will not return to its original undistorted configuration. This results in z-direction bulking of the laminate web when the applied tension is released as well as subsequent elastic extensibility in the direction of initial stretching, at least up to the point of initial stretching. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention the opposed peripheral edge portions of the laminate web to be incrementally stretched are subjected to restraint to substantially prevent inwardly directed slippage or contraction thereof in a direction parallel to the direction of stretching. This maximizes the effectiveness of the incremental web stretching operation by forcing the "zero strain" stretch laminate web to undergo the fullest possible degree of elongation during the incremental stretching operation.

Title: Rolled strip of absorbent pad segments
Inventor: O'DONNELL KATHLEEN DENISE
IPC: A61F13/56
Filed: 1994-01-21
Abstract: A supply of absorbent panty liner pads formed by a contiguous longitudinal array of pad segments forming a strip. The strip has locally weakened zones to facilitate tearing off segments from the strip without the use of a cutting tool. Each pad segment is shorter than a standard panty liner pad so that approximately three segments are required to form a standard length pad. By tearing off two, three, four, or five segments in one piece, the user can create a panty liner having a short, standard, long or extra long length to suit her needs on any given day. The strip is wrapped upon itself into a roll so that pressure sensitive positioning adhesive strips are placed into contact with release surfaces formed on the strip, thereby protecting the adhesive prior to use without the need for release paper.

Title: Processing misoriented cheques by re-orienting image of cheque
Inventor: ROSSIGNOLI JAMES M
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1999-10-13
Abstract: In a cheque processing system, an image of the cheque (which can be of both front and rear) is captured.  The cheque is then fed to a magnetic ink reader which attempts to read the codeline on the cheque.  If the cheque is wrongly oriented, the reader will not find the codeline.  In this case, the image is flipped and OCR software then attempts to find the codeline.  If no codeline is found, the image may be rotated and if, after trying all the orientations of the image, the codeline is still not found, then the image is displayed to a human operator.  If at any stage the codeline is found, then the result is passed to the next stage of processing.

Title: Bi-axial rotating magnetic therapeutic device
Inventor: VINCENT ARDIZZONE
IPC: A61N2/00
Filed: 2002-11-20
Abstract: A device for applying a time-varying magnetic field for therapeutic purposes comprising a magnetic body (72) housed in a free moving member (80), which is itself housed within the device. The device is powered by a small electric motor that drives the free moving member (80) and magnetic body (72) to rotate about an axis of first rotation. The magnetic body is further caused to rotate around an axis of second rotation through angular forces imparted on it either mechanically or magnetically. Mechanical angular force is imparted by a gear and tooth arrangement or other similar tactile interaction with a roller member (106). Magnetic angular force is imparted by stationary magnets (110) as the magnetic body (72) rotates past them. The two rotational movements of the magnetic body (72) are oblique to one another and produce both a time-varying field of magnetic flux density and a time varying field of angular flux displacement.
