Title: Tampon with integral cover
Inventor: CHAMBERS LEON E JR
IPC: A61F13/20
Filed: 1995-03-30
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a personal care absorbent product such as a tampon with an integral cover and a process for forming such a tampon.  The process involves depositing molten thermoplastic fibers onto a surface of an absorbent core material, either continuously or intermittently, so that the molten fibers adhere to the surface of the absorbent core material  thereby  forming  a  fibrous  nonwoven  cover web. Additionally, during the deposition of the molten fibers onto the surface of the absorbent core, a lubricant may be added to the molten stream of fibers to facilitate user insertion of the completed product.  Once the cover has been deposited and adhered to the absorbent core material, strips of the material are spirally wound, radially compressed and then optionally fused using heat to  form the covered tampon.

Patent CA-2147398-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JIN SUNGHO
IPC: B23K35/14
Filed: 1995-04-20
Abstract: Electronic devices having at least two components with mating contact pads are provided with high-aspect-ratio solder joints between the mating pads. These joints ar formed by placing a composite solder medium containing solder wires in an electrically insulating matrix such that at least two solder wires are in contact with the mating pads, and fusing the wires to the pads. The insulating matrix with remainder of solder wires is then optionally removed from between the said at least two components. The composite solder medium is formed by preparing an elongated body of solder wires in an insulating matrix and cutting off slices of the composite solder medium, the solder wires having a high-aspect-ratio of length to their diameter. Alternatively sheets of the composite solder medium are prepared by magnetically aligning solder coated magnetic particles into columns arranged transverse of an insulating matrix and heating sufficiently to fuse the solder in each column into a continuously conducting solder path.

Title: Sludge treatment system
Inventor: LYNAM BART T
IPC: C05G5/00
Filed: 1994-01-18
Abstract: A method of converting industrial, domestic or other sludge (12), into a pelletized or granular fertilizer, as well as a sludge converter (10) for practicing the method. The sludge is dewatered to form sludge cake solids which are dried in a dryer (70), and then sorted with a sorter (80) into a sorted product comprising oversized, undersized and standard sized product.

Title: Child restraint seat
Inventor: PRESSER DWIGHT W
IPC: B60N2/28
Filed: 1995-09-26
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a "fold-out" or integral child seat having a mechanism interconnecting a seatback member, a headrest member and a seat member for causing coordinated movement therebetween. When if is desired to deploy the integral child seat, the seatback member is moved to a tilted position and the headrest member is elevated while the seat member is moved to a lowered position for establishing an upright sitting position. Additionally, the integral child seat may be deployed to a reclined position wherein the seatback member is automatically moved to a second tilted position and the headrest member is moved to a second elevated position in coordination with the movement of the seat member to a second lowered position. As a result, movement of the integral child seat between its stowed and first and second deployed positions can be accomplished with relative ease and convenience to the person attempting such movement.

Title: Methods and apparatus for forming coated popcorn bars
Inventor: GANESAN GANESH S
IPC: A23L7/126
Filed: 1995-12-01
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for forming popcorn bars utilizing methods according to the preferred teachings of the present invention is disclosed where popcorn popped in an air popper (12) and coated with a molten binder in the form of a caramel syrup in an auger mixer (20) is compressed into a sheet by a device (32).  In the sheeting device (32), the coated popped popcorn is drawn into and passes between an input conveyor (30) and a compressing conveyor (34) arranged at a non-parallel angle thereto. The flexible plastic, continuous belting (36) of the input and compressing conveyors (30, 34) has a textured surface in the form of cubes arranged along a diagonal pattern and is supported in the input conveyor (30) between the end rollers (38) by a plate (40) over which the belting (36) slides.  An air manifold (37) directs cooled air to the upper surface of the compressing conveyor (34) to cool the belting (36) thereof, with the cooled air being deflected to cool a spreader box (28) which receives the coated popcorn from the auger mixer (20) and distributes it on the input conveyor (30).  The coated popcorn is cooled while being transported by a transport conveyor (44) including belting in the form of a mesh by a multiplicity of fans (46) located above and below the transport conveyor (44) and mounted on a movable support.  The sheet is cut into strips by parallel, spaced, rotating slitter knives (50) which can then be separated by a spreader (52) and cut into the desired lengths by a guillotine knife (54).  A confectionery coating such as milk-chocolate or caramel flavoring is drizzled in a zig-zag pattern on the laterally separated bars by a drizzling device (56). After cooling in a cooling tunnel (58), the bars can be individually wrapped and packaged for sale.
