Title: Method for printing upon linerless thermal transfer labels having a silicone release agent
Inventor: PISTRO STEVE J
IPC: B41M5/382
Filed: 1996-06-06
Granted: 2000-01-13
Abstract: A method of printing on a release layer of linerless label material including the step of advancing linerless label material and a thermal transfer ribbon coated with ink through a thermal printer. The ribbon is moved over a heated transfer element of the printer. The heated transfer element is located on an edge or on a corner of an edge of the thermal printer. The ribbon is then heated to cause the ink to reach a molten or fluid state. The ink transfers in its molten or fluid state to the release layer of the linerless label material. Certain wax/resin and resin based thermal transfer ribbons and silicone release coatings have been found to be particularly effective for increasing the ink transfer and anchorage during corner edge and true edge printing on linerless label material.

Title: An ink cartridge and a method for sealing an aperture provided for such cartridge
Inventor: KAMIYAMA YUJI
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 1996-09-27
Granted: 2000-01-20
Abstract: An ink cartridge for ink jet use is provided with an aperture for filling in the cartridge with ink. The circumference of the aperture and a part of a plug pressed in the aperture are fused and welded to be formed integrally to airtightly close the aperture, and obtain an integrated structure without any interface. Hence, it is made possible to reliably prevent ink from leaking therefrom, even if some scratches and cracks are present on both of them. This contributes to eliminating inspection steps to find ink leakage in the course of manufacture, and also, contributes to improving the yield of production. As a result, a significant reduction of costs is possible, while enhancing the reliability of the ink cartridge. <IMAGE>

Title: Process and apparatus for continuosly conching chocolate mass
Inventor: CALLEBAUT FRANS
IPC: A23G1/16
Filed: 1991-07-03
Granted: 1993-11-04
Abstract: In the continuous conching of chocolate mass in a conche (10) it is important to ensure essentially constant contents of the conche (10). For this purpose, the infeed of starting material and/or the discharge of the conched chocolate mass is monitored, namely measured, especially by means of weighing.

Title: Electric power cables
Inventor: KING STEPHEN MAURICE
IPC: H01B7/288
Filed: 1998-09-09
Granted: 2002-02-07
Abstract: An electric power cable of the kind having at least one metallic conductor, optionally a conductor screen of semiconductive material, and insulation all enclosed in an earth screen formed by wires or narrow tapes and a sheath formed by polymeric material is characterised by a sheath construction including a first extruded polymeric layer which encloses the earth screen of the cable without filling the gaps between the components thereof (the wires or strips), a second extruded polymeric layer enclosing the first and between them a moisture barrier laminate having a metal foil layer coated on one of its major faces with a polymeric material compatible with the material of the extruded layer it contacts and bonded to that extruded layer only. That increases the resistance of the cable to impact, compared with constructions in which a moisture barrier foil layer is applied directly over the screen wires, and increases flexibility and reduces cost compared with constructions in which the foil is bonded to both extruded layers.

Title: Timing switch with clockwork moved contact actuating sliders - has overriding coupling as clamping stop and hub with leaf springs
IPC: G04C23/08
Filed: 1968-11-07
Abstract: The timing switch has adjustable sliders, driven by a clockwork, for actuation of contacts at preset instants. The sliders are mounted on an annular support and connected to a shaft, driven by the clockwork via an overriding coupling. The latter is in the form of a directional clamp and has a hub (18) which can be mounted on the shaft (12). The hub carries radially extending leaf springs (14 - 17) whose ends abut resiliently the inner surfaces (25) of the annular support, the leaf springs being bent in the same direction. Thus during rotation of the annular support (21) in one direction they slide over the support inner surface, while in the other direction they exert a latching effect.
