Chaque rangée de préformes (36) comprend N préformes, et s'étend dans une direction B qui est perpendiculaire à la direction dans laquelle les préformes (36) sont transférées. Dans la première unité de transfert (24), les M rangées de préformes, qui ont été moulées par la station de moulage par injection (22), sont retirées par un mécanisme d'extraction (102) puis mises en position droite. Les intervalles séparant les rangées sont réduits, tandis que les pas entre les colonnes sont modifiés. Un mécanisme d'inversion (104) va faire passer les préformes (36) en une position inversée dans laquelle elles seront ainsi transférées. La station de refroidissement (26) et la station de chauffage (30) vont refroidir et chauffer les N préformes (36) d'une même rangée pendant que ces dernières sont transportées en parallèle le long d'un premier passage de transport (200). La seconde unité de transfert (32) va transférer les préformes (36), tout en les maintenant en position inversée, vers deux stations de formage par soufflage (34). Un nombre de préformes (36) égal à N/2 est soumis à un formage par soufflage et par étirement dans chacune des stations de formage par soufflage (34) de manière à obtenir des récipients.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for disabling the effect of copy protection signals embedded in video signals, wherein the detection and modification of the copy protection signals is accomplished in the RF domain rather than in the baseband video domain as typically accomplished at the present time. To this end, various embodiments are disclosed for deriving a timing control signal from the modulated RF carrier signal, which timing control signal is indicative of the television lines which contain the copy protection signals. Several techniques in the RF domain responsive to the timing control signal are disclosed for replacing, attenuating, suppressing, pulse narrowing or otherwise modifying the modulated RF carrier signal during the interval of the copy protection signals to disable the affects thereof, to allow the making of acceptable recordings during demodulation subsequently by, for example, a record VCR. Also disclosed are means for adding copy protection signals to an RF carrier signal modulated with a video signal by modulating, for example, the protection signals onto the RF carrier signal in the RF domain.

Abstract: A current steering circuit diverts bias current from a differential current summing amplifier's front end when the differential input exceeds a safe threshold level, thus preventing the amplifier's output stage from being overdriven. Diverting the front end's bias currents also turns off transistors within the amplifier's front end and thus protects the front end from damage which may otherwise result from excessive input signals.

Abstract: A crystalline polymer resin, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), is heated to melting. One or more blowing agents is selected wherein at least one of the blowing agents has a boiling point greater than the glass transition temperature for the resin and less than the forming temperature, such as the temperature of the mold used to form the useful article. The blowing agent(s) and resin are combined to create a mixture with a blowing agent concentration sufficient to produce a theoretical sheet foam density of less than 0.4 g/cm3. The mixture is cooled to a temperature approaching the freezing point of the mixture, and then extruded into a substantially uniform closed cell polymer foam sheet of density less than 0.4 g/cm3. The extruded sheet is then cooled by direct contact with a cooling surface at a surface temperature below the glass transition temperature such that the blowing agent(s) condenses and the sheet has a density of greater than 0.4 g/cm3 and a sheet crystallinity of less than 15%. An article is then formed from the cooled sheet by applying heat such that the condensed blowing agent(s) vaporizes and the article crystallizes at a density of less than 0.4 g/cm3 with a crystallinity of greater than 20%.
