Abstract: The invention concerns the use of redispersion powder for priming mineral and non-mineral substrates before coating, in particular filling. The redispersion powder based on acrylate and vinyl ester copolymers, in particular vinyl acetate and ethylene, can be used together with the conventional components either as a pourable dry mixture or as a paste (with up to 35 % water). Rather than impairing the adhesion of the filler compound, the high redispersion powder content tends to improve it.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for food product preservation by deactivation of microorganisms and enzymes by applying high-intensity, short-duration pulses of polychromatic light in a broad spectrum to packaging material surfaces. In some embodiments, a photodiode is employed for detecting the intensity of the light, and a control circuit is used to adjust power delivered to a flashlamp if the intensity of the light needs adjustment. In some embodiments, an outer safety glass is employed to protect the flashlamps. The outer safety glass may include coating materials at ends thereof. In addition, several variations of lamp assembly geometries accommodate small diameter packaging material tubes by, for example, using a fill pipe having offset first and second portions with a transitional region thereinbetween, or be eliminating the water jackets and using an outer safety glass to contain water as it is passed over flashlamps. In another additional embodiment, a lamp holding device includes a holding cylinder with a first flange, which, together with a compression cylinder, compresses the first O-ring into the flashlamp. In yet another embodiment, a lamp holding device is positioned in a receptacle into which an electrode of a U-lamp is inserted. The lamp holding device allows a proximal portion to move relative to a distal portion thereof. In yet a further embodiment, a light guide is positioned to receive light emitted from a linear flashlamp and to transmit such light into a packaging material cup.

Abstract: Apparatus for identifying ATM cell boundaries in a bit stream. A CRC unit (21) operates on a 40-bit (header-length) sequence of bits in a shift register (20) fed with the bit stream to calculate an HEC (header error check) function from the oldest (4) bytes of the sequence. Comparator (22) compares the result with the actual 5th byte of the sequence to detect matches. All possible 40-bit sequences are checked in this way. A FIFO memory (26) stores the position of matches over the length of a cell, in the form of time counts from a cyclic counter (25). For each match from comparator (22), a subtractor (28), comparator (29), and gate (30) determine whether there is a coincidence with a stored value in the FIFO, i.e. whether there was also a match exactly 424 bits (1 cell length) ago. To reduce the chance of spurious coincidences, further FIFOs may be connected in series and multiple coincidences detected.

Abstract: A method of determining the success or failure of the press fitting a workpiece into an object member having a contact end by a linearly-driven plunger is disclosed. In a predetermined stroke range RM of the plunger press fitting the workpiece, thrust information S1 and position information S2 are acquired. The position where the ratio of change of the thrust information S1 with respect to the position information S2 exceeds a predetermined value is detected as an almost press fit end position LLP. The success or failure of the press fitting work is determined according to whether the thrust information S1 is included in a predetermined range of a section from a predetermined determination start position LLH to a determination end position LLQ during the press fitting work. The determination end position LLQ is determined based on the almost press fit end position LLP. The press fitting force is determined at a position nearest to the contact end, thereby making it possible to determine the success or failure of the press fitting work accurately. <IMAGE>
