Title: Method and device for folding sheet piles
Inventor: OKELMANN WALTER
IPC: B65H45/12
Filed: 1998-02-11
Abstract: In the case of a method of folding stacks of sheets, which can consist of one or of a plurality of sheets that may have different folding resistances, by supplying a plurality of stacks of sheets to a folding device by means of a temporally successive, cyclic supply which comprises phases of movement and pauses in movement, a stack folding resistance for a respective stack of sheets is first determined on the basis of at least the number and/or the folding resistance of the individual sheets forming a stack of sheets. Following this, the respective stack of sheets is folded, the folding speed used by the folding device for folding said stack of sheets being controlled in dependence upon the stack folding resistance that has been determined for this stack of sheets, the control of the folding speed of the folding device being carried out during respective pauses in movement of the cyclic supply. In the case of a reduction of the folding speed, the pause in movement is extended for the folding of the next stack of sheets to be folded, if the necessary folding-speed reduction is not achieved during the normal pause in movement of the cyclic supply. And in the case of an increase in the folding speed, the pause in movement is, depending on the time required, either extended for the folding of the next stack of sheets to be folded, if the necessary increase in the folding speed is not achieved during the normal pause in movement of the cyclic supply, or not extended for the folding of the next stack of sheets to be folded, although the necessary increase in the folding speed is not achieved during the normal pause in movement.

Filed: 1999-08-25
Abstract: A processing arrangement for web shaped material (M) wound onto reels before and after processing includes a processing station (B)for the material, associated transport means (T) for transporting the material through the processing station, an unwind arrangement (U) for the automatic feeding of material to be processed from on an unwind reel (S) located in an unwind position (pU) to the processing station, a windup arrangement (W) for the automatic feeding and winding up of processed material leaving the processing station onto a windup real (S) located in a windup position (pW), and a common reel carousel (K) for receiving at least three windup reels (S) and unwind reels (S). The reel carousel transports the reels (S) removably mounted thereon cyclically and stepwise into the unwind position (pU), the windup position (pW) and at least one exchange position (pR) so that an unwind reef (S) emptied after unwinding of the material to be processed (M) after its further transport into the windup position (pW) can take over the role of a windup reel (S) and that in the at least one exchange position (pR) a windup reel (S) containing processed material can be removed from the reel carousel (K) and replaced with a new unwind reel (S) containing material to be processed. The processing arrangement is especially suited for the treatment or processing of photographic rolled up material and facilitates and simplifies the operation in that the exchange of the material reel is possible in one operation step and at one location of the processing arrangement.

Title: A fluid-activatable vane for a fluid turbine
Inventor: BIC ADRIAN
IPC: F03D1/06
Filed: 1999-08-24
Abstract: A fluid-activatable vane is defined by a thin vane body having opposed narrow leading and trailing side edges and opposed substantially smooth large top and bottom surfaces. The body has a central longitudinal axis and is substantially symmetrical on opposed sides of the axis. An attachment shaft is aligned with the central axis at a near end edge of the vane to secure two diametrically opposed vanes through a coupling wherein the vane will tilt along a 90° arc from a horizontal plane to a vertical plane when exposed to a fluid flow. The two vanes form a propeller and are fixed to a respective end of the attachment shaft in a respective plane and offset 90° from one another. A fluid actuatable torquing curved outer end edge portion is formed integral with the vane body in an outer end edge portion thereof and on a respective side of a central longitudinal axis. The curved outer end edge portions also project from a respective one of the top and bottom surfaces with the curved outer end edge portion adjacent the leading edge projecting upwardly from the vane when the vane is disposed horizontally when secured to a drivable vertical shaft of a turbine.

Abstract: A digital calibration technique intended for use with digital indicators provides an improvement in simplicity of calibration and simplification of operating instructions. In addition, this technique permits the user to see simultaneously the variable available for adjustment and an annunciation identifying that variable. In addition, the technique allows the user directly to select certain parameters for adjustment without having to proceed through a menu structure. In addition, this technique allows the digital indicator to be used in any country, using any language script, by selecting the text type for the front fascia. The user can perform a calibration on the meter without needing to know the absolute value of the applied electrical signal, if this is derived from a sensor or transducer and if the magnitude of the applied physical variable acting on that sensor ox transducer is known. The meter comprises a display window, inscribed pushbutton controls each having at least a primary and a secondary function, and annunciator lights indicating which parameter is being changed.
Patent CA-2284217-A1 (CA)
Title: Dye discharge colourization process
Inventor: FERRIS JOHN DOUGLAS
IPC: D06P1/00
Filed: 1999-09-22
Abstract: The "Dye Discharge Colourization Process", henceforth called by it's abbreviated name "3D-Colour" is a process used to beautify previously and traditionally dyed cloth or cloth garments. Common dying processes intend to produce an evenly dyed fabric or a fabric containing various shades of one particular colour.  Tie dying is a process used to add various colours, in semi random patterns, to garments. 3D-Colour borrows from the process of tie dying in that pattern effects can be manipulated by bundling or tying the cloth or garment. 3D-Colour utilizes the fact that common dyed cloth or cloth garments, particularly of the darker shades, are dyed in various stages. These stages are meant to build up layers of various colours until the final desired colour is achieved. Secondly, again particularly with the darker shades, the colours themselves are made up of a mixture of various colours. When these dyed cloths are placed in bleach the colour is discharged with the first stages being the dulling of the colours. The more the discharge is permitted the more colour is removed until fully discharged the cloth becomes an off white shade. Several agents can be used to neutralize the bleach once the desired level of discharge is achieved. The bleach must be neutralized otherwise it will continue to damage the fibers of the cloth. The key to 3D-Colour is by using a neutralizer, particularly sodium meta-bisulfite, in a particular method, one can cause a chemical reaction which tends to strip away and separate the layers of colour producing wonderful patterns and mixtures of the underlying colours. Each initial cloth colour such as navy blue or black produces a different mixture of colours and these mixtures vary depending on the original manufacture and their dying formulas. Most of the traditionally dyed colours react differently and therefore require a different formulation of bleach vs. neutralizer.
