Title: Forming board position control system
Inventor: MILLER JOSEPH
IPC: D21F1/38
Filed: 1995-09-25
Abstract: The instant device is a forming board position control system. A forming board fitted with the instant invention is positioned at various distances from and with virtually perfect constant parallelarity to the lie of the frontal plane of a headbox in apposition to the forming board. A computer controlled motor causes a parallelwise positioned pair of worm gear jacks mounted to the board, to move the board longitudinally to and fro through a distance from the frontal plane of the headbox as is determined with reference to manually manipulated computerized settings until the system stops perforce of a signal to such effect received by a controller computer as the result of interaction as between a magnet affixed to the base of one of two mounting plates to which the board is also mounted and a transducer closely positioned thereto and connected directly to the computer.

Title: A bag or pouch for containing a fluid
Inventor: HYLDGAARD JOERGEN
IPC: B65D30/24
Filed: 1994-03-29
Abstract: A bag or pouch made from a pair of flat walls formed by flexible sheet material, such as plastic films. The walls are sealingly interconnected so as todefine between the opposite walls a storage chamber (20) for containing a fluid. A fluid discharge passage (17) communicates with the storage chamber (2) at a junction position (21 ) and is arranged outside the storage chamber, and the bag or pouch is such that the opposite wall parts defining the discharge passage are moved into mutual sealing contact at at least one sealing position when fluid has been filled into the storage chamber. In order to improve the self-sealing effect of the bag, the storage chamber (20) extends beyond the junction position (21 ) in a direction towards an outlet end (22) of the discharge passage (17). This means that the angle a is an acute angle. Alternatively or additionally, at least one restriction may be defined in the discharge passage (17), preferably at or closely adjacent to the sealing position.
Patent CA-2161314-A1 (CA)

IPC: B01D21/28
Filed: 1995-10-24
Abstract: A water treatment tank for separating particles from water, has a separation chamber with at least one set of inclined parallel plates with a slot between each pair of adjacent plates for substantial horizontal flow of water between the plates A sludge chamber is located beneath the separation chamber for collecting sludge including the particles separated from the water during passage of the water through the separation chamber. An inlet chamber on one side of the separation chamber introduces the substantially horizontal flow of water into the separation chamber, and an outlet chamber on an opposite side of the separation chamber receives the flow in the substantially horizontal direction from the separation chamber. The outlet chamber is located above and communicates with the sludge chamber and further separates particles from the water in the outlet chamber, the particles descending into the sludge chamber. An outlet channel is located in an upper portion of the outlet chamber and has an outlet weir on each side of the outlet channel. The outlet channel and outlet weirs extend for the length of the separation chamber, and a surface layer of water in the outlet chamber overflows the outlet weirs into the outlet channel to create an outflow. An overflow rate of water per unit length of the outlet weirs is minimized for a given tank flow rate. In another embodiment, a gas distribution pipe is adjacent the inclined plates and configured to emit gas bubbles during a plate rinsing cycle to dislodge particles trapped between the plates.

Title: Method and arrangement for operating electric lamps in response to anomalous states
Inventor: RUDOLPH BERND
IPC: H05B41/24
Filed: 1996-07-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating electric lamps, and an operating method for electric lamps. The circuit arrangement has an inverter (Q1, Q2) with a switch-off device which switches off the inverter (Q1, Q2) in the case of an anomalous operating state. The switch-off device has a field-effect transis-tor (T1, T1') whose drain-source junction is arranged in the control circuit of an inverter switching transistor (Q2) and switches the control circuit of the inverter transistor (Q2) between a state which is of low resis-tance in normal operation and a state which is of high resistance in anomalous operation. After the occurrence of an anomalous operating state, it is advantageous to switch off synchronously with the blocking phase of the inverter transistor (Q2) in whose control circuit the field-effect transistor (T1, T1') is arranged.
