Abstract: Apparatus for cutting cigarette packs transversely in preparation for recovery of the tobacco from the cigarettes therein comprises a first belt conveyor driven at a first velocity, a device for delivering the cigarette packs in collated relation onto the first conveyor with all packs resting on one of their larger sides and oriented lengthwise of the conveyor, and a second belt conveyor arranged coaxially with and adjacent to the downstream end of first conveyor to receive the packs from the first conveyor and driven at a second velocity, the second velocity being higher than the first velocity such that the packs become spaced apart end-to-end on the second conveyor. An indexing conveyor arranged orthogonally to and adjacent to the downstream end of the second conveyor receives each pack from the second conveyor at a receiving station. A photodetector detects the arrival of each pack at the receiving station and produces a signal indicative thereof. A stepper drive advances the indexing conveyor one step to move all packs thereon a selected distance greater than the width of the largest size pack in response to each such signal and then stops the indexing conveyor until the next pack arrives and is detected at the receiving station. A water jet cutter cuts each pack and the cigarettes therein transversely as they move along the indexing conveyor.

Date Jun. 10, 1993Immediate-effect medicaments containing a pharmacologically active 2-arylpropionic acid derivate as a pharmaceutically applicable nanosol have a considerably improved action start and bioavailability of the active substance. The 2-arylpropionic acid derivates, for example ibuprofen, flurbiprofen and ketoprofen, that are scarcely soluble in an aqueous medium, are present in a gelatine-stabilized nanosol in a form that allows these active substances to be quickly and completely resorbed already in the stomach. The disclosed colloidal disperse system composed of a 2-arylpropionic acid derivate is prepared by selecting a gelatine or gelatine derivate according to their isoelectric point (IEP), so that their IEP is adapted to the charge of the 2-arylpropionic acid derivate particles, leading to a neutral charge when the gelatine or its derivate is combined with the undissolved 2-arylpropionic acid derivate at a determined pH value. The gelatine or its derivate are converted into an aqueous sol form, their pH value is set according to the IEP of the gelatine at a value that stabilizes the nanoparticles of 2-arylpropionic acid derivate at an approximately or totally neutral charge. Before or after said last step, the 2-arylpropionic acid derivate is dissolved in the aqueous gelatine sol or a solution of 2-arylpropionic acid derivate is blended with the aqueous gelatine sol.

Abstract: A method of forming a coreless roll of web material comprises feeding a web material (P) to a mandrel (26). The mandrel (26) has a plurality of axially extending projections (26a) at spaced intervals. The free end of the web material (P) is then pressed against the mandrel (26) by a pressure roller (28) for the initial winding of a roll (R). Affixing means is applied to the pressure roller (28), and the web material (P) is pressed between the pressure roller (28) and the projections (26a) of the mandrel (26) to transfer the affixing means from the pressure roller (28) to at least first two windings of the roll (R) whereby they are releasably affixed together. The web material (P) is wound about the mandrel (26) to provide a fully wound roll. The roll (R) is thereafter severed from the remainder of the web material (P). The mandrel (26) is then removed from the roll (R) to render the roll coreless. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1997-08-06
Abstract: Controllable polarisation transformer comprising a passive mode converter (4), a controllable phase shifter (5) and a controllable Mach-Zehnder interferometer (7). The mode converter (4) converts the first signal component of one polarisation (TE or TM) of a light signal entering via an input (1) into a signal component of the other polarisation without affecting the second signal component of the other polarisation (TM or TE), the conversion taking place to another order of the guided mode. Phase control by means of the phase shifter (5) controls the intensity distribution of the light signal over the two branches (8, 9) of the interferometer (7). Optical wavelength control in the interferometer (7) controls the phase with which the signals through the branches come together in the output (2). Advantages: very good integration capability, preferably on semiconductor material, with a waveguide structure which can be achieved in a single etching step and without critical manufacturing parameters; can be used reciprocally, even as a polarisation modulator. <IMAGE>
