Abstract: Speckle-patterned paper is produced on the paper machine without the use of printing techniques by first preparing speckle-forming material and then introducing this into a contrasting colour papermaking furnish. Paper is then made from the speckle-containing furnish in the normal way. The speckle-forming material is produced either by agglomerating a mixture of papermaking fibre, particulate pigment and, preferably, a latex or other binder or by dry comminution of cellulose fibre aggregates in the form of paper or entangled fibre clumps.

Abstract: Various mechanisms, and a method of operating them, are provided for use in a surgical instrument. A shaft and an engaged lost motion operating knob are provided for rotation relative to a handle portion. A latch system prevents rotation of the shaft unless the shaft is rotated by means of the knob. A cartridge is provided for rotation at the distal end of the shaft. Engaging structures are provided for preventing rotation of the cartridge relative to the shaft when axial forces are applied to the cartridge. A loading tool is provided for engaging the cartridge to install the cartridge on the instrument. The cartridge includes a washer for engaging a carrier on which the cartridge is mounted so as to prevent rotation of the washer. The washer is adapted to engage a fastener advancing member in a first angular orientation and is disengaged when the cartridge is rotated to establish a second relative angular orientation. In the first angular orientation, the fastener advancing member is restrained against longitudinal movement to assist in installation of the cartridge onto the instrument. The distal end of the instrument can be articulated, and a helical gear operator is provided for effecting the articulation. The helical gear pitch decreases in a direction such that the mechanical advantage is increased as the articulation angle increases. A trigger actuating system includes a trigger lever with a cam channel, a pin in the cam channel, and a link connected at one end to the pin and at the other end to a reciprocatable driver. A frame is provided with a guide channel for guiding an end of the pin. The trigger lever is pivotally mounted to the frame and biased to a normally unactuated position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing highly oriented polyester sheet comprises a two-stage drawing process. The first drawing stage is performed within a zero-gap milling and stretching roller assembly (100) comprising a pair of opposed rollers (142, 144) defining a nip (146) therebetween and wherein the rollers (142, 144) are rotated in opposite directions at different lineal surface velocities such that a predetermined draw ratio is defined therebetween. Amorphous polyester sheet (122) is conducted through the nip (146) of the opposed rollers (142, 144) and as a result of the simultaneous milling and stretching of the polyester sheet, the amorphous polyester is transformed into crystalline polyester as a result of orientation-induced crystallization. The crystalline polyester sheet is heated above the glass transition temperature (T g ) immediately downstream of the nip (146) defined between the pair of opposed rollers (142, 144), and an exit bridle assembly (126) is disposed downstream of the a pair of opposed rollers (142, 144). The rollers of the bridle assembly (126) are rotated at lineal surface velocities which are greater than the lineal surface velocity of the downstream one (144) of the pair of opposed rollers (142,144) such that a second draw ratio is defined with respect to such downstream one (144) of the pair of opposed rollers. The heating of the crystalline polyester sheet facilitates the additional stretching thereof within the second drawing stage of the apparatus, the overall drawing ratio being approximately 6:1. Highly oriented polyester, having tensile strength values of approximately 1,000 psi (6.9 x 10 8  Pa), and modulus values of approximately 3,000,000-5,000,000 (2.1 x 10 10  to 3.5 x 10 10  Pa) is achieved.

Abstract: An interface device 3 is used to couple a first 101 and second 201 bi-directional signal path, such as 12C. The first bi-directional signal path 101 floats at a logic high level. Stations 110 coupled to the first signal path 101 are capable of generating a logic low level on the first signal path 101. To avoid that the system gets latched in a low state, a medium logic level is used on the first signal path 101. The interface device 3 generates the medium logic level on the first bi-directional signal path 101 in response to a low logic level on the second signal path 201. The interface device 3 generates on the second signal path 201 a low logic level in response to a low logic level on the first signal path and, otherwise, generates a high logic level. The stations 110 on the first signal path 101 detect the medium logic level and the low logic level as LOW and the high logic level as HIGH.

Abstract: Here is a new external wall structure for buildings. It takes the form of outer panelling, designed to make use of solar energy. To this end it has a partially-transparent external layer (1) and an inner layer (3) including thermal insulation (2). The external layer (4) is plain-, multilayer- or laminated glass, or their combinations. On the inner surface of the glass, visible externally, there is a functional layer (5). The novel feature is partial transparency of this layer to solar radiation; however, it appears opaque to the eye. It comprises insular dots of regular or irregular shape, distributed over the glass surface. These are opaque. The tiny spacing between individual adjacent dots is limited to a maximum set value. These gaps are so small in themselves, that close observation by the human eye is unable to resolve them.

Abstract: The present invention discloses surface covering products and methods and
an apparatus for making surface covering products. In particular, the method of the
present invention includes depositing color particles on a moving carrier to form a
base layer. The base layer then comes in contact with a patterned embossing
device such as a roll to create a depressed or displaced pattern image on the base
layer. Afterwards, accent particles or pellets are sprinkled or applied over the
embossed base layer. The embossed base layer is subjected to heat and/or
pressure to consolidate the accent and color particles and form a preformed mass.
The preformed mass is then pressed to form a fused, texture-created structure. The
surface covering products made from the process of the present invention have
unique geometric patterns with well-defined grout lines or irregular decorative
designs.

Abstract: A system to hydrostatically augment the thrust load capacity of a bilateral compliant foil hydrodynamic fluid film thrust bearing for a turbomachine is disclosed. A plurality of channels and fixed orifices are provided in the bearing thrust plate to deliver and regulate compressor bleed air flow to the compressor side of the bilateral compliant foil hydrodynamic fluid film thrust bearing which includes additional channels and orifices to direct the bleed air against the bearing rotor thrust disk. After impinging on the rotor thrust disk, the bleed air flow exits the thrust bearing through a plurality of variable orifices comprised ofthe hydrodynamic thrust bearing elements which are controlled in their flow conductance by the axial position of the rotor thrust disk. The bleed air may then pass through the adjacent journal bearing which functions as a fixed orifice. The interaction of the fixed orifices and variable orifices establishes a pressure differential across and a net force applied to the bearing rotor thrust disk that varies as a function of the axial position of the bearing rotor thrust disk. Further, the bleed air from the bearing rotor thrust disk being delivered to the compliant foil hydrodynamic fluid film journal bearing of the turbomachine serves to cool the journal bearing.
