Patent CA-2698790-C (CA)
Inventor: PLANETA MIROSLAV
IPC: B29C61/02
Filed: 2009-08-12
Granted: 2013-01-22
Abstract: Stretch film is treated by passing a web of tackifier-containing, un-bloomed thin polymer film through a heater so that the web is heated to a tem-perature sufficient to cause tackifier bloom prior to the web reaching a next stage in an in-line process. Also, a pattern can be applied to a thin polymer film. An oriented web of thin polymer film is passed across at least one heated roller having the pattern engraved thereon to define face regions and relief regions col-lectively conforming to the pattern. As the web contacts each roller surface, por-tions of the web positioned over the relief regions receive less heat than portions of the web positioned over the face regions, thereby causing the respective portions of the web to undergo differential, heat-in-duced shrinkage which imparts the pat-tern to the thin polymer film.

Abstract: A storage-type water heater with a controller. The controller controls an upper heating element such that an upper zone water temperature is maintained proximate a temperature setpoint. The controller calculates a temperature differential based on a difference between an upper zone water temperature and a lower zone water temperature. The controller controls a lower heating element such that the temperature differential does not exceed a first limit during periods of low predicted water demand and such that the temperature differential does not exceed a second limit during periods of high predicted water demand. Periodically, the controller switches from the first limit to the second limit during periods of low predicted water demand.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à des éléments géocomposites qui peuvent créer une barrière contre l'eau à conductivité élevée, par exemple l'eau de mer, et à leur procédé de fabrication, pour imperméabiliser les surfaces qui sont en contact avec l'eau à conductivité élevée. La couche d'éléments géocomposites comprend une feuille ou couche géotextile tissée ou non tissée contenant un copolymère d'acide acrylamide/acrylate/acrylique partiellement réticulé en poudre ou en granules sur l'ensemble de sa ou ses surfaces principales. Le copolymère en poudre ou en granules présente un gonflement libre étonnamment élevé lorsqu'il est hydraté avec de l'eau à conductivité élevée, comme l'eau de mer. Une feuille de revêtement imperméable aux liquides adhère aux surfaces principales supérieures du géotextile portant le copolymère chargé afin de fournir une couche-barrière primaire contre l'eau à conductivité élevée qui, si elle se rompt, est rendue étanche par le gonflement d'une couche sous-jacente de copolymère d'acide acrylamide/acrylique partiellement réticulé et insoluble dans l'eau.
