Abstract: A technique and machine for transferring discrete areas of material, such as hot stamping foil, from a carrier onto positions spaced apart along a substrate, such as paper. The carrier is dispensed at a rate that is much less than the speed of movement of the substrate. During transfer, a segment of the carrier is moved at the same speed as the substrate while, in between such material transfers, the speed of the carrier is sharply reduced and even reversed in direction in order to maintain the average speed of this carrier segment equal to the reduced speed at which the carrier is being dispensed. This is accomplished by a shuttle mechanism that is moved by its own motor, under control of a microprocessor-based motor control system, in synchronism with the speed of the substrate and transfer operations. This significantly improves the utilization of the material on the carrier, with an improved flexibility to adapt to various substrate speeds and ease of implementation in machinery.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a random signal generator (10) comprising means (11, 12, 13) for converting an electronic noise (N, N1, N2) into a logic signal (RS) whose value depends on the random fluctuations of the electronic noise (N). According to one embodiment, the generator (10) comprises at least two delay lines (11, 12) having initially balanced time constants (T). The two delay lines (11, 12) receive a pulsed reference signal (Hr) at input and at least one of the delay lines (11, 12) receives an electronic noise (N1, N2) causing its time constant (T) to fluctuate (DELTAt). The temporal lag between the two pulsed signals (S1, S2) is detected by a circuit (13) delivering a logic signal (RS) whose value is a function of the relative lag between the two pulsed signals (S1, S2). Advantageously, the electronic noise (N1, N2) is a differential noise taken at two points (GND1, GND2) of a ground plane or two points (PV1, PV2) of an electrical supply plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filling comprising a polyester fibre. More particularly it relates to an improved polyester fibre containing filling for use where thermal properties and/or breathability are important, such as in the soft furnishings industry, where it may be used as a filling for bedding, for example duvets, pillows, mattress protectors and sleeping bags or in the clothing industry where it may be used as a filling for coats, anoraks, and the like, particularly ski and winter wear. Polyester fibre, usually polyethyleneterephthalate, is an inexpensive alternative to down or feathers. However it lacks breathability. In an attempt to improve the characteristics of a filling comprising polyester fibre, the polyester fibre has been blended with natural materials such as, for example, cotton, silk, down and feathers. The improvement comprises mixing the polyester with a cellulosic fibre obtained by an organic solvent spinning process to produce a non-woven blend with improved thermal and/or breathability properties. The non-woven may be in the form of fibreballs, a wadding, a padding, a stuffing or a filling material.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for adjusting the gain profile of an optical amplifier including a pump laser and an active gain element by selectively controlling the electron populations of at least one Stark sublevel of the electronic energy levels of the optical amplifier's active gain element. By dynamically controlling the electron populations of selected Stark sublevels the gain profile of the active gain element can be flattened. In a first method for controlling electron populations two-photon transitions are initiated between a pair of Stark sublevels of the same energy manifold of the active gain element. Two-photon transitions are stimulated by two additional pump lasers operating at wavelengths whose difference approximates the energy difference in the pair of Stark sublevels between which electrons are to be moved. In a second method for controlling electron populations single-photon transitions are initiated between a pair of Stark sublevels of different energy manifolds of the active gain element. Single-photon transitions are stimulated by an additional pump laser operating at a frequency difference that approximates the difference in the pair of energy levels. Alternatively, single photon transitions are stimulated by operating the amplifier's pump laser at a wavelength selected so as to simultaneously cause electron transitions from the ground level of the active gain element to one of the higher energy levels and electron transitions from a selected Stark sublevel of the upper laser level to a yet higher energy level.

Abstract: An improved no-spill cup construction and valve assembly which provides an extremely secure seal against accidental liquid flow from the cup spout. The act of sucking at the cup spout creates negative pressure or a partial vacuum against a valve near the spout, causing the valve to invert which unblocks an opening in the valve. When the opening is unblocked, liquid can flow freely through the valve and spout. When not in use, the valve sits in a resting, closed position, with the valve pressed against a center seal-off, sealing off the opening in the valve assembly. The closed position provides an extremely secure seal against fluid leakage, such that inadvertent spills or even deliberate attempts to force liquid outside of the cup, such as by turning the cup upside down, or shaking the cup, are ineffective. The cup assembly further allows liquid flow to be regulated between regular or maximum flow and minimal flow levels or rates by rotating the position of the valve assembly in the cover of the cup.
