Abstract: The method involves measuring data of a sheet material first being detected by means of a sensor, the sensor then deriving one or more measuring results from the data. Using a sorting tree a sorting class for the sheet material is derived from the measuring results of the sheet material. In each sorting node of the sorting tree a domain is fixed for at least one measuring result. The domains of a measuring result in a sorting node are selected so that they are either a subdomain or equal to the domain of the corresponding measuring result of the assigned, higher sorting node. The sheet material is transported to a destination in accordance with the derived sorting class for the sheet material.

Abstract: A pressure flow system and method for its use are provided for contacting the interior of a fluid permeable, e.g., porous, workpiece. The system includes a fluid pressure chamber having an inlet port and an opening formed in one of the chamber walls. An adjustable seal capable of providing a fluid-tight seal about the exterior of a workpiece having a non-uniform surface is positioned within the opening. Fluid under pressure is supplied to the pressure chamber to force fluid to flow through the internal matrix of the workpiece. In a preferred embodiment, the workpiece is a bone or a section thereof, and the fluid is forced to flow from the endosteal portion of bone to the periosteal portion of bone through the vasculature and porous structure of the bone to remove blood, bone marrow and/or other non-bone constituent(s) from the bone. Alternatively, the fluid can be chosen to decontaminate and/or demineralize the bone, to stain the bone to improve visualization of the bone microvasculature or to impregnate with pharmacological agents (antibiotics, bone growth factors, etc.) so that bone can act as a delivery system.

Abstract: An adjusting member which comprises a computer which is included in an apparatus for automatically milking animals and which adjusts the period the time that the animal is milked during a milking run to obtain optimal milk production from the animal over an extended period of time. A time duration plot of the milking run is initially determined based on milk quantity produced by the animal per unit time whereby an optimal duration of milking time during a milking run is calculated by the computer in consideration of the total milk produced by the animal over an extended period of time and the period of time according to the time duration plot that the milk flow rate is optimal. By limiting the duration of a milking run to approximately three minutes it has been determined that the total amount of milk produced by the animal over an extended period such as twenty-four hours is increased. The adjusting member also controls the rate that milk is removed from the teat cups connected to the teats of the animal during milking runs by controlling the milk pump or vacuum (or both) that governs the rate the milk is removed.

Abstract: The new method combination is aimed at improving and regulating the adhesion between similar or different fibers in connection with a method for producing hydroentangled and thermobonded fabrics from cellulose and synthetic fiber blends. Improvement of the fiber adhesion aims at providing highstrength and well absorbing, stable, non-linting nonwoven structures containing high cellulose concentrations. In the new method, adhesion strength is improved by increasing kinetically and quantitatively the contact and wetting between molten polyolefin used for cellulose bonding, and the cellulose, and providing in the cooling contact site transcrystallization following heterogenous nucleation of the polyolefin structure. In order to provide for pre-contacts between the cellulose and cellulose-polyolefin fibers, effectivated hydrogen bonding between the cellulose fibers is used, especially when mechanically hydroentangling cellulose using unreacting synthetic fiber (polyamide, ester). In order to improve adhesion strength, the surface structure of the polyolefin and/or cellulose fibers has to be modified. The surface structure of the polyolefins is modified by molecular chain degradation caused by spinning oxidation, in order to decrease the surface energy, viscosity and temperature of the surface melt formed in bonding. The modification of the cellulose surfaces takes place by heat treatment in a polar liquid, whereby in connection with a conversion of the cellulose crystal structure (C-II (C-I) -> C-IV), its surface energy, crystallinity degree and crystal lamellar thickness of its superstructure increase. Hydrogen bond formation is activated with a combined corona and steam wetting-pressure-drying method.
