Abstract: A labeling system employs a multi-processing computer control system for a servo motor which drives a label-carrying web. The system is responsive to the physical position of the labels and the physical position of containers or similar objects to which the labels are applied. The label application motion controller identifies the machine position and performs the mathematical calculations needed to create a piecewise continuous function motion profile required to achieve label contact at a predefined contact point on the surface of each container. Multiple functions may be used to construct a motion profile. which smoothly accelerates the label at a calculated acceleration needed to cause a label to arrive at the defined contact position on a container and to decelerates the carrier web after application. Correction for measured label registration error is provided for. Because the position of the label is based on the position of the container and a motion profile is calculated for each application, a fixed initial staging position of the label prior to application is not needed.

Abstract: The retrofitting of an existing methanol or methanol/ammonia plant to make acetic acid is disclosed. The existing plant has a reformer (10) to which natural gas or another hydrocarbon and steam (water) are fed. Syngas is formed in the reformer (10). All or part of the syngas is processed to separate out carbon dioxide (24), carbon monoxide (30) and hydrogen (32), and the separated carbon dioxide (24) is fed either to the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) for methanol synthesis, or back into the feed to the reformer (10) to enhance carbon monoxide formation in the syngas (18). Any remaining syngas (38) not fed to the carbon dioxide separator (22) can be converted to methanol in the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) along with carbon dioxide (24) from the separator (22) and/or imported carbon dioxide (25), and hydrogen (35) from the separator (28). The separated carbon monoxide (30) is then reacted with the methanol (36) to produce acetic acid (40) or an acetic acid precursor by a conventional process. Also disclosed is the reaction of separated hydrogen (32) with nitrogen (52), in a conventional manner, to produce ammonia. Also disclosed is the reaction of a portion of the acetic acid (40) in a conventional manner with oxygen (46) and ethylene (44) to form vinyl acetate monomer (48). The nitrogen for the added ammonia capacity in a retrofit of an original methanol plant comprising an ammonia synthesis loop (33), and the oxygen (46) for the vinyl acetate monomer process (42), are obtained from a new air separation unit (50).

Abstract: There is disclosed an acoustic driver having a phasing and compression plug and its direct coupling to an acoustic waveguide having an entry throat with a non-unity aspect ratio, such as a rectangular diffraction slot. The phasing and compression plug has an input end with an input surface having a plurality of input apertures configured in a parallel array of spaced-apart chordal slits. The opposite, output end of the plug has a like plurality of output apertures contained in an output region having unequal length and width dimensions such that the area of the output region is less than that of the input surface. A plurality of passages through the plug body connect each respective input aperture to the corresponding output aperture wherein the relative lengths of the passages are preselected to provide an acoustic wavefront which is concave at its major (vertical) axis and planar or convex across its minor (horizontal) axis. The phasing and compression plug of the invention affects the transition of the bounds of the wavefront from round to a shape having a non-unity aspect ratio such that the throat of the driver can be directly coupled to an acoustic waveguide having a throat with a matching non-unity aspect ratio shape, thereby eliminating the requirement for a round-to-rectangular transition coupled and also for a waveguide or horn with an internal diffraction slot. Consequently, the above factors contribute to enable a cylindrically expanding wavefront to be accurately propagated out of one of and thus out of an array of waveguide mouths.

Abstract: In a method, when using a single-grip harvester head for felling and processing trees, of controlling the press power which, by means of a limbing knife assembly (6), is exerted on a stem (3) which is horizontally fed through th head with its butt end first, the diameter of the stem is measured and the press power is reduced in accordance with a control diagram as the diameter decreases during the feeding. The measured diameter values are registered, and each measured diameter value is compared with a predetermined diameter value which is selected from the diameter values of the stem (3) which are previously registered during the feeding of the stem. If a measured diameter value is found to equal or be greater than this predetermined diameter value, the press power is increased to a corrective power value, which is maintained until a later measured diameter value falls below a reference value.

Abstract: Two dispersers tunnels (20, 22) are provided at a disperser station. Each disperser tunnel (20, 22) houses two dispersers (24, 26 and 28, 30). Each pair of dispersers (24, 26 and 38, 30) are spaced apart and confront each other, with a mixing zone (42, 54) being defined between them. A separate conveyor (32, 34, 36, 38) is provided for feeding textile fiber modules, e.g. cotton boll modules (18, 18', 18'', 18'''), to the dispersers (24, 26, 28, 30). Each pair of dispersers (24, 26) removes fiber clumps from the leading ends of the modules (18, 18', 18'', 18''') and dispenses them into the mixing zone (42, 54) in admixture with the fiber clumps from the other disperser (24, 26, 28, 30) of the pair. The blend or mixture of fiber clumps is collected in the upper run (50) of a conveyor (52) that serves to carry the fiber clumps away from the disperser station. The feed rate of the modules (18, 18', 18'', 18''') may be regulated and varied by regulating and varying the speed rates of the conveyors (32, 34, 36, 38). The feed conveyors may be provided with sidewalls so as to define storage bins. Bodies of particulate material may be stored in the storage bins and feed to the dispersers by use of the feed conveyors. The dispersers can be operated to dispense particles from the bodies of particulate material into the mixing zone, in admixture with particles of the other disperse of the pair. The feed rate of the conveyors can be varied for varying the feed rate of particulate material to the dispersers.
