Abstract: A portable apparatus that allows users to block, steam, stretch, and/or dry ball caps, including a kit and methods. The ball cap is placed onto the steamer. The steamer has a hemispherical back portion that provides steam, and a front portion that moves to stretch the ball cap while excluding steam from the decorated front portion of the ball cap. The ball cap can be stretched, with or without steam, to adjust the size of the cap. The ball cap can be hot-air dried by the apparatus to block the ball cap to the correct shape. The front portions may be interchangeable with different front portions having different shapes.

Title: Flapper gas lift valve
Inventor: WHITE THOMAS
IPC: F16K31/36
Filed: 2008-08-15
Abstract: A gas lift valve has a flow restrictor, a valve part on one side of the flow restrictor, a flow deflector and a tubular member on another side of the flow restrictor, and a flapper valve on the side of the flow restrictor where the tubular member is located, the flapper valve being adjacent to the tubular member. When fluid flows into the gas lift valve at sufficient pressure, the valve part opens, the fluid flows through the flow restrictor and acts on the flow diverter thereby moving the tubular member and opening the flapper valve. The tubular member extends though the opening the flapper valve covered.

Abstract: The circuit (IC2) has a countermeasure unit (CM1) for protecting a cryptography algorithm (CA1) against attacks by auxiliary channels. A mask generator (MG1) provides mask values (Mi) to the countermeasure unit. A microprocessor (MP) executes a command (GMC) requiring disclosure of the mask values used by the countermeasure unit for protecting the cryptography algorithm during a cryptography session. The microprocessor sends the values by a communication interface circuit (INT1) e.g. near field communication (NFC) interface circuit, in response to the command. An independent claim is also included for a method for executing a cryptography session in an integrated circuit.

Abstract: By the invention one or more bolt gauges (6) each with a built-in load cell (LC, not shown) are positioned on a blade bolt or a bearing bolt between a pitch bearing and a nut and tensioned by the nut at the inside or the outside of a hub of a wind turbine. The bolt gauge then outputs a signal descending both from the tension from the bolt/nut connection and the tension from the blade when the blade is vibrated due to wind forces and the rotation of the blade when the hub of the wind turbine is ro-tating. Further a severe and alarming change in each blade frequency is monitored as each blade frequency is compared to the other blade fre-quencies and an alarm is set and/or the wind tur-bine is stopped if a given level is reached.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polymer-coated, heat-sealable liquid packaging board that resists solvents, such as strong alcoholic drinks, to a method of manufacturing the same and to a drinking cup made of the same. In the invention, resistance to solvents is achieved by lowering the raw edge penetration to the board. For this, the fibre base of the board contains at least 1.3 kg of hydrophobic size containing alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) per 1 tonne of dry matter, and at least 1.0 kg of wet- strength size per 1 tonne of dry matter, the density of the fibre base is 630-800 kg/m3 and the amount of heat-sealable polymer in the top layer is higher than the Bristow wheel roughness volume of the uncoated fibre base and/or at least 14 g/m2. When manufacturing the board, the AKD size, the length of the carbon chain of which is preferably at least C18, and the wet-strength size, such as polyamidoamine epichlorohydrin resin (PAAE), are added into the stock on the wire of the paper or board machine or before the same. At the same time, the pH of the tail water is adjusted so as to be alkaline, preferably to a value of over 9, whereby the pH of the water extract of the obtained board is in the order of about 7 or more. The drinking cup made of the board resists an ethanol solution of 30% by weight at 23°C for at least 1 h.
