Abstract: A process and assembly denitrifies dried tobacco leaf (R, R') in Burley rib form which is: (a) inserted into the chamber within a housing (9), (b) brought into contact with a solvent (12), and (c) then discharged from the housing (9). The novelty is that: (d) the housing chamber is pressurised and; (e) the tobacco leaf (R, R')is transported through the chamber and solvent bath (12) by a helical conveyor (2). Also claimed is that the solvent (12) is water and that the chamber is heated to between 100-130 degrees C., pref. 118 degrees C. The tobacco is passed through the chamber (9) in a continuous process in which there is constant exchange of the water (12) which consists in the chamber of a liq. phase (12), and the gaseous phase (13) which is introduced to the chamber. The tobacco residence period in the chamber is adjusted by regulation of the conveyor rotation speed. The ratio of the mass flow of dry tobacco in Kg to that of the solvent in Kg is in the range 0.5-0.031, pref. 0.25. The tobacco is subsequently subjected to a further rinsing under a water shower. The pressure maintained in the chamber is 1.5 to 3.0 bar, pref. approx. 1.9 bar.

Abstract: A test page, system, and method are used to set a color density level of a laser printer, by producing a dot gain test pattern (10). The laser printer has at least one primary color. The dot gain test pattern (10) is self-indicating and thus requires no external reference in order to determine a correct color density level. A preferred embodiment of the dot gain test pattern (10) includes (a) a stable pattern having a color density which is stable with respect to changes in the laser printer operating conditions, and (b) a sensitive pattern having a color density which is sensitive to changes in the operating conditions, wherein the sensitive pattern in reference to the stable pattern indicates the density level of the laser printer for the at least one primary color. Additionally, in a preferred embodiment, the stable pattern includes a uniform coarse dot pattern (15) , and the sensitive pattern includes a gradient (20) of fine dot densities, the gradient (20) printed adjacent to the coarse dot pattern (15), wherein a correct density level of the laser printer for the at least one primary color is indicated when a mid-spectrum area (25) of the fine dot gradient (20) appears to blend into the coarse dot pattern (15).
