Abstract: A razor blade assembly is provided for mounting on a handle via a pivotal connection, the handle having a spring-biased cam follower, the assembly including a housing that carries three blade members, a guard portion, a cap structure and arcuate bearing surfaces below the blade carrying portion that pivotally engage shell bearing connections of the handle. The pivot axis of the razor blade assembly is located above the arcuate bearing surfaces for movement along an arc between a forward pivot stop position and a rearward pivot stop position. The housing has a cam surface having an apex located relative to the arcuate bearing surfaces to provide an at-rest position at a location other than the midway position between the pivot stop positions and to permit movement away from the at-rest position against spring bias force of the cam follower in response to pivotal forces encountered during shaving.

Granted: 2005-01-04
Abstract: A method for regulation of the surface level (L20) and the consistency (C s2 0) in a stock chest (20) for metering of a component stock (M1). Stock is fed as an outward flow (F11) out of the bottom portion (10a) of a stock column (10) by means of a first pump (11) into the stock chest (20). Into this outward flow (F11) a first dilution wat er flow (F15) is passed, by means of which dilution water flow the consistency of the stock fed into the stock chest (20) is regulated to the desired level. The stock is fed as a metering flow (F1) from the stock chest (20) by means of a third pump (21) into the short circulation of the paper or board machine. The surface level (L20) in the stock chest (20) is kept invariable by means of an overflow (F13) passed fro m the stock chest (20) into a pumping tank (20a). From the pumping tank (20a) stock is fed as a return flow (F12), by means of a second pump (12), back into the bottom portion (10a) of the storage tower (10). Into this return flow (F12) a second dilution water flow (F16) i s passed, by whose means the consistency in the bottom portion (10a) of the storage tower (10) is regulated to the desired level. The stock (M1) is stirred intensively in the bottom portion (S10) of the storage tower (10) and in the stock chest (20, S20) in order to provide a uniform consistency.

Abstract: The invention relates to a residual oil caused by the treatment of crude oil, natural bitumen or oil sand. The residual oil is mixed with grained, hot coke acting as a heat transfer medium (thermal coke) in a mixer and at a weight ratio of 1:3 to 1:30. A liquid residual film is produced on the grains of the thermal coke. Said film partially vaporises in the mixer.     Gases and vapours and moist, sticky coke are withdrawn from the mixer. The mixture consisting of coke and residual oil is guided into a downstream stirrer pot and slowly moves downwards in said pot, whereby the mixture is stirred mechanically at a temperature ranging from 450 to 600 °C and preferably 480 to 550 °C. Dry, pourable coke is withdrawn from the stirrer pot. Sojourn time of the thermal coke in the stirrer pot usually amounts to 1 to 30 minutes.

Granted: 2009-09-01
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for web threading in a drying section of a paper machine or the like. A leader (24) and a so called run-down strip are formed by cutting in the web coming to the drying cylinder in the drying section. An underpressure box (18) is arranged at the opening gap between the drying cylinder (14) and the drying wire, on that side of the wire which is away from the web, whereby this box can direct against the web an underpressure which is controllable in the machine's cross direction. The underpressure box creates an underpressure region (34') between the leader and the underpressure box, the region having an underpressure p1 at the detachment point, i.e. in the area where the wire is detached from said drying cylinder (14), which underpressure is sufficient to detach the leader from said drying cylinder. A  protection zone is created between the underpressure region created at the leader and the run-down strip, which protection zone has a barrier (46) in order to maintain the underpressure p1 in the underpressure region.

The head-mounted head tracking sensor is capable of repeatedly determining a position of the head to thereby track movement of the head. In this regard, each position of the head is associated with a position of the at least one eye. Thus, the processing element can repeatedly determine the gaze of the operator, based upon each position of the head and the associated position of the eyes, thereby tracking the gaze of the operator.

Granted: 2007-08-21
Abstract: In a protective garment, such as a firefighter's garment, of a type comprising an outer shell and a reflective strip, which is sewn to the outer shell, the reflective strip is spaced from the outer shell, except where the reflective strip is sewn to the outer shell, whereby to reduce risks of thread abrasion and to provide thermal insulation. The reflective strip may be thus spaced by a single strip interposed between two opposite margins of the reflective strip, along which margins the reflective strip is sewn to the outer shell, or by two spaced strips interposed therebetween. If two spaced strips are used, the reflective strip may be also sewn to the outer shell where the spaced strips are spaced from each other or, alternatively, the reflective strip is detached from the outer shell where the spaced strips are spaced from each other so as to define an air space between the reflective strip and the outer shell where the spaced strips are spaced from each other.
