Abstract: A method and a spool ( 1, 10, 21, 22, 35 ) for shortening the length of a cord ( 14 ) and optionally tensioning it at the same time is provided. The spool has a shank having two ends each of which has a transverse retainer formation ( 4, 13, 20, 40, 51 and 5, 11, 25, 33, 36, 42, 49, 50, 58 ) adapted operatively to prevent unravelling off the shank of cord wound around the elongate shank, at least whilst it is held under tension and with the axis of the shank extending in the same general direction as that in which the cord extends. A keeper formation ( 4, 13, 20, 40, 51 ) that is preferably one in the same with the ring and a formation at one end of the shank cooperates with a cord to maintain said end in association with the cord whilst the shank is rotated to wind cord onto the shank by rotation thereof. A torque transmitting formation ( 5, 11, 25, 33, 36, 42, 49, 50, 58 ) that is preferably one and the same with the retainer formation associated with the other end of the shank enables rotation of the shank substantially about its own axis to be effected manually in the case that an integral handle is provided or by engagement thereof with a tool ( 44, 52 ). Typically, the length of the shank is from about 10 to about 50 times the diameter of the shank.

IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2003-07-16
Abstract: An ink cartridge (10) of the invention has a sensor (17) to detect
the presence or the absence of ink. A control device (22) of a printer
(20) transmits a detection command and a specified detection condition
to the ink cartridge (10) by radio communication. In response to
input of the detection command into the ink cartridge (10), a sensor
controller (19) actuates and vibrates the sensor (17) under the
specified detection condition. The sensor (17) is attached to a
resonance chamber (18), which is disposed in an ink chamber (16). The
frequency of the vibration of the sensor (17) is thus regulated by
a resonance frequency of the resonance chamber (18). The resonance
frequency is varied by the presence or the absence of ink in the
resonance chamber (18). Detection of the resonance frequency
accordingly specifies the presence or the absence of ink in the
resonance chamber (18) and thereby the remaining quantity of ink
in the ink cartridge (10). The control device (22) of the printer
(20) receives the result of the detection together with the detection
condition from the ink cartridge (10), and checks whether or not
the detection has been carried out under the specified detection
condition, in order to verify the validity of the detection result.
This technique of the invention is generally applicable to a
cartridge that holds a recording material used for printing therein,
for example, an ink or a toner, and detects the state of the recording
material. The arrangement flexibly handles the change in
detection condition and ensures the sufficiently high reliability
of the detection.

Abstract: A fast start-up catalytic reformer (50) for producing hydrogen-rich
reformate from hydrocarbon fuel includes a reactor (10) having an inlet (62,64) for
receiving a flow of fuel and a flow of air, a reforming catalyst (16) disposed
within a reforming chamber in the reactor, and an outlet (20) for discharging
the produced reformate stream. An ignition device (68) within the reactor
tube ignites a first lean mixture in combustion mode to generate exhaust
gases to warm the catalyst which also warms the wall of the reactor
adjacent the catalyst. The reactor then switches over to a rich fuel/air
mixture during reforming mode. A jacket (54) concentrically surrounds the
reactor, defining a mixing chamber (58) therebetween which communicates
with the reforming chamber via openings (60) in the wall of the reactor. Fuel
entering the reformer in combustion mode is injected directly into the
reforming chamber to provide rapid warming of the catalyst. Fuel
entering the reformer in reforming mode is sprayed onto the outside of
the reactor in the mixing chamber, preferably in the heated region of the
tube for very rapid vaporization.

Abstract: The use of low specific gravity wood from thinning operations, for example, will
produce a lower brownstock viscosity for a given kappa number target. A differential of
200-cP falling ball pulp viscosity has been detected from Kraft cooks of low and high

temperature and the chemical dose needed in the bleach plant to produce lyocell pulp
specifications. Low specific gravity wood also increases the ability to reduce pulp
viscosity to very low levels without increasing the copper number of the pulp or the
concentration of carbonyl in the pulp above acceptable levels.
