Title: Packaging laminate
Inventor: PEER ALBERT DEAN JR
IPC: B65D77/00
Filed: 1979-11-14
Granted: 1983-09-01
Abstract: A secondary container packaging material for use in six pack can wraps, six pack bottle carriers, twelve pack carriers, etc., comprising a composite of a paper material laminated to a plastic film. The plastic film provides tear resistance to the composite, so that paper material may be used which has a tear resistance less than that of other secondary packaging paper materials. The reduced tear resistance allows the use of paper having a lower caliper, basis weight, and, therefore, cost than conventional secondary container packaging material. Natural kraft paper and recycled paper of 12-16 point caliper are preferred for use with the present composite. The plastic film may be 0.25-2 mils thick and is preferably formed of polyethylene terpthalate, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, polypropylene, or cellophane. The preferred films are transparent and permit reverse printing on their inner surface to provide abrasion resistant decoration visible through the film. Adhesives are used to bond the film to the paper and are selected to be compatible with the film used. The film may be metallized to produce a foil effect or may be strengthened by radiation treatment.

Title: Method and device for synchronisation in the encoding and decoding of data that are printed in data tapes
Inventor: WIRNITZER BERNHARD
IPC: G06K7/14
Filed: 2000-06-09
Granted: 2004-05-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for synchronisation in the decoding of information that is stored on data tapes with a high data density, in cells that are positioned two-dimensionally on said data tape, using a surface or line sensor. First of all, a specification describing the relative position of the fields of the sensor in relation to the position of the cells is established. This specification is continuously corrected in both dimensions using the relative position of the edges or inner structures of the cells, which is determined using the sensor signals of the sensor fields. The invention also relates to a method for assisting synchronisation in the encoding of this information. According to said method, two-dimensional synchronous information is integrated into the inner structure of the cells, which are positioned two-dimensionally on the data tape and contain the stored information. Finally, the invention also relates to a device that has a detector to which the sensor data are supplied, said detector using this data to determine the position of a cell in relation to the sensor co-ordinate system and the information that it contains.

Title: Method for Noise Reduction, Particularly in Hearing Aids
Inventor: BRENNAN ROBERT
IPC: H03G7/06
Filed: 1998-04-16
Granted: 2001-11-15
Abstract: This invention describes a practical application of noise reduction in hearing aids. Although listening in noisy conditions is difficult for persons with normal hearing, hearing impaired individuals are at a considerable further disadvantage. Under light noise condition, conventional hearing aids simplify the input signal sufficiently to overcome the hearing loss. For a typical sloping hearing loss where there is a loss in high frequency hearing sensitivity, the amount of boost (or gain) rises with frequency. Most frequently, the loss in sensitivity is only for low-level signals; high level signals are affective minimally or not at all. A compression hearing aid is able to compensate by automatically lowering the gain as the input signal level rises. This compression action is usually compromised under noisy conditions. In general, hearing aids are of lesser benefit under noisy conditions since both noise and speech are boosted together when what is really required is a reduction of the noise relative to the speech. A noise reduction algorithm with the dual purpose of enhancing speech relative to noise and also providing a relatively clean signal for the compression circuitry is described. <IMAGE>

Title: Pad includng heat sink and thermal insulation areas and laminate having shapability
Inventor: SHERIDAN WILLIAM M
IPC: B32B3/28
Filed: 1991-01-22
Granted: 1994-01-06
Abstract: A pad including thermal insulation and heat sink areas. The pad includes a plurality of layers of metal foil forming a stack with the layers arranged one above the other, the stack including at least one heat sink area and at least one insulating area adjacent to the heat sink area, the layers providing better heat conduction in the vertical direction at the heat sink area than at the insulating area. At least one of the layers includes a plurality of embossments therein separating the one layer from an adjacent one of the layers in the insulating area. The pad can include a single insulating area surrounded by a heat sink area and a black coating can be provided on selected portions of the layers to improve heat radiating characteristics of the pad. For instance, the heat sink area can be coated with the black coating to radiate heat away from the pad at a desired location. The pad is particularly useful in shielding a heat sensitive component on one side of the pad from a heat source on the other side of the pad. The pad can be covered with a prescored and/or embossed metal sheet coated on one or both sides with adhesive. The sheet can also be used by itself for fixturing. The sheet can be secured to an object by heating to cause the adhesive to adhere to the object. The prescoring can be perforations in the sheet and the embossments can be in a diamond shaped cross-hatching configuration. <IMAGE>
