Abstract: In packaging 10 comprising three layers of material 14, 16, 18 adhered together, the middle layer 16 has at east one portion 20 removed, defining a void inside the packaging. The three layers are the same size and shape. Partial cut-lines 22 extend width layers through all layers, at the edge of the packaging, to aid opening. A further perforation 32 may be applied to the two outer layers, substantially bridging the gap between the outer cuts. The first layer of the packaging is initially not completely joined to the middle layer, and can be folded back about a fold line 44 , to allow insertion of an object before closing. A tapered gap 56 maybe provided in the edge of the middle layer, connecting to the removed portion. One of the outer layers 14, 18 may be provided with a printed, perforated portion, overlying the void space in the middle layer. A method of producing said packaging comprises removing at least a portion from one of three layers, and laminating or bonding the layers together with said altered layer in the middle. The three layers may be provided as a single blank, and folded to position them on top of one another, the blank being pre-cut with the removed portion of the middle layer.

Title: Method for making an aromatic polycarbonate
Inventor: SILVI NORBERTO
IPC: B29C48/58
Filed: 2003-05-23
Abstract: This invention relates to an extrusion method preparing polycarbonates from
a solution of an oligomeric polycarbonate. A mixture of bis(methyl salicyl)
carbonate (BMSC), BPA and a transesterification catalyst are first equilibrated
at moderate temperatures to provide a solution of polycarbonate oligomer in
methyl salicylate. The solution is then fed to a devolatilizing extruder, where
the polymerization reaction is completed and the methyl salicylate solvent
is removed. The solution comprising the oligomeric polycarbonate can also be
pre-heated under pressure to a temperature above the boiling point of methyl
salicylate and subsequently fed to a devolatilizing extruder equipped for rapid
flashing off the solvent. The method provides polycarbonate with greater efficiency
than the corresponding process in which unreacted monomers are fed to the extruder.
Additionally, the method of the invention does not require the isolation of a
precursor polycarbonate comprising ester­substituted phenoxy terminal
groups.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for folding a nonwoven web without
mechanical contact against a folding surface. A first portion of the nonwoven
web is secured to a collector by vacuum and a positive pressure differential is
applied to a second portion of the moving nonwoven web. An unbalanced lifting

overlapping relationship with the second portion. The vacuum assists in the
folding process and maintains the overlapping relationship until the nonbonded
nonwoven web is consolidated. One or more elastic strands or bands may be
