Abstract: The invention relates to a processing device and a method applying the same for processing a coated or uncoated fibrous web. The device comprises a belt (2) adapted to extend around a guiding element (3), at least one counter-element (5) being disposed outside said belt to provide a contact area with the belt, such that the belt (2) and the counter-element (5) establish therebetween a web processing zone for passing a web to be processed therethrough. The processing zone length is defined by means of the disposition of the belt's (2) guiding element (3) and/or by means of the design of the counter-elements (5). The contact pressure applied to a web in the processing zone is adapted to be adjustable within the range of about 0.01 MPa to about 200 MPa. The invention further relates to a method for switching paper, board or tissue from one grade to another, where the adjustment of the temperature applied to the web is essentially performed only by means of the adjustment of the metal belt temperature, a mechanism for the adjustment of a belt-tension inflicted compression force, a device for controlling and profiling the lateral tension and/or temperature of the belt, a processing device where the metal belt loop os adpated to run in an enclosed or isolated space and a processing device where the position of the belt in lateral direction is adjusted.

IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: Measurements made by a cross-dipole acoustic logging tool in a borehole are processed to determine the principal directions of azimuthal anisotropy of a subsurface formation. Measurements such as in data tracks (601, 603) are also made for correlation and comparison purposes of a Gamma Ray Log (621), a Caliper Log (623), a Density Log (631) and a Neutron Porosity Log (633).  Measurements indicative of azimuthal resistivity logging variations and conductivity logging variations (605, 607, 609, 611) are also made with a multicomponent induction logging tool that is capable of performing electrical measurements at a number of different frequencies that also covers a range of different downhole depths. These electrical measurements are processed using the principal direction determined from acoustic measurements to give an estimate of azimuthal resistivity variations. Based on modeling results, azimuthal resistivity variations are interpreted to estimate a fracture depth in the rock for known fluids therein.

IPC: B32B3/14
Filed: 2004-07-08
Abstract: An outer skin, for example of an aircraft body, is supported by a frame of longitudinal girders and circumferential ribs interconnecting the girders. Additionally, the outer skin is strengthened by reinforcing strips adhesively bonded to the outer skin between the ribs and girders. The reinforcing strips are made of material that is damage tolerant, for example high strength aluminum alloys and fiber composite materials are suitable for making the reinforcing strips.

Inventor: KESTI MICHAEL R
IPC: C09J7/38
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: Films are closely conformed to substrates by reducing the air pressure to a subatmospheric level in at least one airflow pathway that is present in the film or the substrate. The reduced air pressure enables the film to tightly contact the substrate in locations where protrusions or depressions on the substrate are present. The method is particularly useful for conforming film containing graphics to a variety of substrates such as the sides of semi-trailers or concrete block walls, even in instances where the semi-trailer sides include rivets and/or grooves and where the concrete block wall is relatively rough.
