Abstract: Disclosed is a process for preparing a paper web.      The paper web is prepared from a low-grade furnish, which contains low-grade pulps, such as recycled pulp and/or groundwood pulp, and which, in the preferred embodiment, is a newsprint furnish. In accordance with the disclosed process, a pre-flocculated filler is added to the furnish prior to forming the paper web from the furnish. Filler will be retained in the web; and retention of undesired components of the furnish in the web will be reduced as compared with newsprint in which a filler is incorporated via conventional processes. The paper web formed via the process of the invention will have improved properties as a result of the incorporation of the pre-flocculated filler into the web.

Abstract: A combination scratching post with a touch activated component and motorized mechanism for domestic cats that moves a mouse toy in an irregular manner that is intended to attract cats for the purpose of using the scratching post for play and exercise as well as grooming in the form of cleaning and sharpening its claws on the scratching post. The mouse toy is constructed in such a way as to allow the inside to be filled and refilled with catnip, a substance which cats find attractive, each time being resealed by means of an enclosure at the base of the toy. The mouse toy is activated to move via a motor inside the scratching post by a two step procedure. First, the device is "turned on" by a switch at the base of the post. This action does not activate the motor. Instead, it activates the touch-activated components and motorized mechanism which cause the coiled spring at the top of the post to turn and move in an irregular motion related to the power and frequency of the force applied to the post or base. This irregular pattern of movement of the mouse toy is intended to create greater interest in the toy from the cat, challenging the cat into play and encouraging the cat to use the scratching post for exercise and grooming.

Inventor: EIBLING EDWARD ELLIS
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2000-08-17
Granted: 2004-10-19
Abstract: The power level of at least one forward-link signal is determined for a measurement interval, where the measurement interval has a duration smaller than or equal to the time period in which at least one power-indicative signal characteristic can change. For example, a power-indicative signal characteristic used can be the information rate of the signal, which can change once per frame. In this case the measurement interval would be smaller than or equal to a frame. Preferably, the measurement interval is smaller than the time period in which any of the power-indicative signal characteristics can change. The power level of the signal is based on the signal's power-indicative signal characteristics during the measurement interval. In one embodiment of the invention, the signal's power-indicative signal characteristics include the information rate, and the gain of the signal. The power-indicative signal characteristics can also include whether the information contained in a traffic signal is control information or voice and/or data information, whether the signal is setting up a call or is part of an established call, and whether the call is in a soft handoff. Each forward-link signal is a part of a signal set. The signal set can include: all or some of the signals corresponding to a sector of the cell containing the base station; or all or some of the signals amplified by the base station's amplifier. The power level of each signal that is in the signal set is summed to obtain the power level of the signal set.

During a wear-in period, front and bottom surfaces (24, 26) of the steel body define a rake face and a clearance face, re-spectively, of the tool. After the wear-in period, front and bottom surfaces of the insert define the rake face and clearance face, respectively. The tool is oriented such that the shank and the rake face extend upwardly and forwardly to define a positive rake angle a. The tool shanks are cylin-drical and are mounted in cylindrical bores (20) in the tool carrier. The cutting heads are situated so closely together that they abut one another and thereby prevent rotation of the tools relative to the tool carrier.
