Patent EP-1382037-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JUTTE PETRUS T
IPC: G11B7/125
Filed: 2002-04-11
Abstract: An optical scanning device for scanning a recordable optical disk (20) with a laser beam having a linear polarisation. A quarter wave plate (16) is used to alter the polarisation of the beam on reflection from the disk. A partially polarising beam splitter (8) is used and arranged such that a proportion of intensity of the incident beam passed is greater than a proportion of intensity of the reflected beam. A relatively high optical signal power at the disk (20) can be achieved for recording purposes whilst allowing the beam splitter (8) to be manufactured in a relatively efficient manner.

Abstract: As additive for the production of paper and board to improve the strength of a wet web a copolymer stabilized with a cationic polysaccharide is proposed in which copolymer an acrylamide of metacrylamide, vinylic carboxyl acid and optionally other vinylic monomers are used as monomers. The wet strength of a web means the strength of a paper or board web during production at a dry solids content of 20-60%. The additive according to the invention improves, in addition to the wet strength of the web, also the surface resistance of the product. Compared to the additives of the prior art, a small relative ratio of the number of the side chains to the cationic groups is used, because a polysaccharide having a higher cationic character has been found to provide better stability.
