Abstract: A machine for producing a web (46) of fibrous material (especially tissue or hygiene paper) has at least one pre-press (26) in the form of a shoe press, a main press (30) formed by a press roll (28) and a drying cylinder (60), an endless upper belt (12) which passes through the nips (48,90) of the pre-press and the main press, and an under-felt (50) which passes over a lower roll (38) of the pre-press. The product web (46), which is pre-formed in a former, is delivered by the upper belt (12) first to the pre-press and then to the main press. The pre-press (26), which is in the form of a shoe press having a press nip (48) which is elongated in the direction of web travel, comprises an upper shoe press unit (40) and an opposing roll (38), and the upper shoe press unit is provided with a smooth circulating flexible press belt (44). The lower roll (38) is grooved. The upper belt (12) is a relatively dense upper felt having a water permeability which is less than that of the lower felt (50), but the upper belt is capable of removing further water from the web in the main press (30) formed on the drying cylinder (60). The press roll (28) forming part of the main press (30) has a perforated and/or grooved surface to accept the water removed at this stage.

Abstract: A simple and high-productivity liquid filling method is
provided for a small-size liquid container having a high efficiency
of use in which an amount of accommodated ink per
unit volume is increased and a stable liquid supply can be
realized. This method fills a liquid into a liquid container,
which includes a first chamber incorporating a negative
pressure generating member and including a liquid
supply portion and an atmospheric-air communicating portion,
and a second chamber including a communicating portion communicating
with the first chamber and forming a substantially
closed space. The method includes the step of
prohibiting discharge of air within one of the first chamber
and the second chamber, and simultaneously filling a liquid
into the other chamber while discharging air within the
other chamber to the outside of the liquid container, in a
state in which the communicating portion is placed at a
lower position in a direction of gravity.

Abstract: A plasma reactor chamber (l6) uses an antenna (30) driven by
RF energy (LF, MF, or VHF) which is inductively coupled
inside the reactor dome (l7). The antenna (30) generates a
high density, low energy plasma inside the chamber (l6) for
etching oxygen-containing layers overlying non-oxygen-containing
layers with high selectivity. Auxiliary RF bias
energy applied to the wafer (5) support cathode controls the
cathode sheath voltage and controls the ion energy
independent of density. Various magnetic and voltage
processing enhancement techniques are disclosed, along with
other etch processes, deposition processes and combined
etch/deposition processes. Processing of sensitive devices
without damage and without microloading is disclosed
providing excellent yields. Etching of an oxygen-containing
layer overlying a non-oxygen-containing layer can be achieved
with high selectivity.

Abstract: A catalytic converter monitor uses two oxygen sensors (20,22) disposed respectively upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter (16). During a testing period, the air-to-fuel ratio is biased rich and lean transitions are then produced to generate excess oxygen ions in the exhaust gas. The lean transitions produce signal peaks in the sensor signals. The time during which the downstream sensor signal exceeds a predetermined threshold is compared to the equivalent time for the upstream sensor (20). The time differences are related to the oxygen storage capacity of the converter (16). Such measurement makes use of sensor signal levels and is substantially unrelated to sensor response times, which can vary to give inaccurate results. Close-loop control is maintained during testing.

Abstract: Bags, primarily for liquid or other flowable products, are formed from sheet plastics material
to define a generally rectangular container closed at one end and with a filling and
discharging arrangement at the other end. The bags are formed from an outer sheet 10 and
an inner sheet 11, the outer sheet extending the full length of the bag whereas the inner sheet
extends only part way along the bag. The outer sheet defines pockets 15 which act as the
corners of the rectangle and the inner sheet extends across the comers of the rectangle and
is connected to the outer sheet adjacent the edges of the pockets. 
     The bag is made by feeding the two sheets of material onto a table, the outer sheet 10 lying
below the inner sheet 11. The outer sheet is drawn down to form the pockets 15 at spaced
locations along the table. The inner sheet is then welded to the outer sheet at 18, 19 adjacent
the edges of the pockets. The ends of the inner and outer sheets are then drawn over,
overlapped and connected together to form a tube and one end of the tube is closed to form
the base of the bag. The other end is the filling opening which can be closed after the bag is
filled.

Abstract: The back end position of a pulse, which is transmitted from a
remote control, varies according to the transmission distance, and the
pulse width changes. A remote control receiver of the present invention
detects the pulse width of a header, which is formed at the head of each
frame in a remote control signal from the remote control, so as to detect
the transmission distance of the remote control signal and a change in back
end position of each pulse in a data part, which is transmitted after the
header. Then, the back end position of each pulse is corrected to original.
This eliminates the change in pulse width resulting from a change in
transmission distance, and increases the allowable range of the
transmission distance of the remote control.

Abstract: An emergency light includes a chemiluminescent light stick (16) which can be
easily operated to illuminate and be taken out. When an operating lever (14) is pushed,
the engaging portion (26) of a pivoting member (13) pushes the bottom portion of the
chemiluminescent light stick (16) toward a wall surface (11). Since the
chemiluminescent light stick has a head on the top ends thereof secured to the holding
hook (29) of a holding member (15), the chemiluminescent light stick can be easily bent
to illuminate by the principle of lever with the protuberance (18) of a case body serving
as a fulcrum and the engaging portion (26) serving as the point of action. When the
operating lever is further pushed, the top end of the pivoting member protrudes
frontward to open the top cover (Fig. 7B), and at the same time, the holding member
(15) which has been restricted by the pivoting member is released and it moves upward
by the urging force of a flat spring (36) and the pressing force applied by the head of
the chemiluminescent light stick, thus enabling the chemiluminescent light stick to be
taken out.

Abstract: A method of canceling noise in analog circuits is described along with noise cancellation
circuits. Analog circuits are sensitive to noise. Especially in mixed signal environments
where digital circuits and analog circuits are combined, the noise generated by relatively
noisy digital circuits often cause the analog circuits to produce incorrect output signals.
Instead of shielding or separating the susceptible analog circuits from noisy digital circuits,
additional circuitry is added where one of the added circuits, denoted as the noise separator
circuit, produce only the noise component of the output signal, the first output, of the analog
circuit adversely affected by the noise. Then, another circuit is used to subtract the noise
from the first output, thereby producing a noise-free output signal. Alternatively, the noise
separator circuit can be made to produce the inverse of the first output, including the inverse
of the noise. Then, the first output and the inverse output can be added and halved to
produce the desired, noise-free output.
