Title: Labels and labelling methods
Inventor: NASH DARREN
IPC: C09J7/22
Filed: 2004-02-09
Abstract: There is described a method of applying a transparent label of polymeric film to an article to produce a labelled article having a substantial no-label appearance. Labelled articles and labels suitable for use in this method are also described. The labelling method comprises the steps of: (a) selecting films having the following properties (i) Cobb5min value (measured over 5 minutes) from 0.25 to 50 gm-2(min.)-1; and (ii) water vapour transmission rate under tropical conditions from 5 to 2000 gm-2(24hr)-1, (b) selecting a liquid adhesive (such as a wet glue) having a viscosity from 1 to 500 Pa.s; and (c) applying the selected adhesive to fix the selected label film to the article where the thickness of the adhesive layer between the article and label on application thereof is from 25 to 150 microns. Preferred labels are clear or coloured laminated cellulose films selected to have Cobb5min from 1.25 to 15 gm-2(min.)-1 and WVTRtrop from 325 to 875 gm-2(24hr)-1. Such films can be applied to a glass bottle using an optional transparent or white wet glue of viscosity from about 40 to about 150 Pa.s (such as starch glue, casein glue, EVA, PVA and/or non-casein based polymeric glue) to give the appearance of no label on the labelled bottle. The adhesive may be applied to give a solid content before drying from 40 % to 60 % by weight and a dry coat weight from 10 gm-2 to 125 gm-2. The preferred time for the label to be fixed in place is from 1 to 20 minutes with the label preferably dry after 5 minutes to 24 hours. This method may be used on a high speed labelling line where 300 to 1,000 labels are applied per minute.

Title: Method of separating oil slurry from crude oil
Inventor: CHIEN SZU-JEN
IPC: C10G9/00
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A method of separating the oil with impurities from the crude oil by first placing oil with impurities into a cracking furnace and heating such to approximately 400-700°C wherein there remains the pressure value of 3 kgf/cm2 inside the cracking furnace such that the crude oil contained within oil with impurities is cracked into a gas. Next, the oil gas is cooled such that the oil gas after being cooled forms gas and the light crude oil. The gas is then guided into the gas manager and the light crude oil into the crude oil manager for the use as the chemical intermediate or to be distillated into gas oil, diesel oil or fuel oil. Furthermore, plastic material can be added into the cracking furnace to high temperature cracking with the oil containing impurities as the fuel of indirect heating the cracking furnace to increase the yield of the light crude oil.

Intended modifications to a typical insulation package will implement an elevation of the fire protection safety for separated interior regions lying proximal to a structure external skin. The insulation structure for the internal insulation of a vehicle comprises an insulation package, which is implemented using an insulation, and a film, which is positioned inside an intermediate space that includes internal paneling and an external skin of the vehicle. The insulation package is implemented homogeneously using a first insulation, whose insulation material is bum-through safe. Otherwise, the insulation package is constructed using distinct insulation regions, which are implemented using the first insulation and a second insulation, whose insulation material is burn-through unsafe. These insulation regions are positioned along a finite series and laid next to one another up to a terminating insulation region, whose insulation material is exchanged in alternating sequence. Otherwise, the insulation package is implemented homogeneously using a second insulation, whose insulation material is burn-through unsafe (fire endangered, flammable), multiple burn-through safe barrier layers being integrated in the second insulation.
