Date Oct. 9, 1997A measurement device and method for measuring tension in an optical fiber or wire. The measurement device includes a device for producing a vibration surge in the optical fiber or wire which vibrates at a certain, pre-selected frequency and advances as a linearly polarized wave. An optical location-sensitive detector measures the advancing speed (v) of the wave. An illuminator device illuminates the optical fiber or wire so that a shadow or an image of the vibrating fiber or wire is cast onto the indictor whereby the tension (T) of the optical fiber or wire is calculated from the equation T=v2xM, when M is the fiber mass per unit of length of the optical fiber or wire. The indicator device measures the time at which a departing wave surge passes by the indicator and the time at which an arriving wave surge reflected from a subsequent coating vat, or other wave reflector, passes by the indicator. The velocity of the wave is obtained from a difference in time between the departing wave surge and the arriving wave surge when the distance (X) between the indicator and the coating vat is known.

Title: Stitch adhering absorptive sheet laminae and plastics liner
Inventor: LARSONNEUR L M
IPC: B32B7/08
Filed: 1987-04-07
Abstract: Conventionally absorbent sheets for meat packaging are made of absorbent cellulose laminations 18 with a cover sheet 14 of polyethylene. The laminations are compression bonded by means of a serrated wheel which forms a series of indentations along one or more lines. When moisture is absorbed the sheet 14 tends to delaminate. To prevent this a thermo-setting material such as a wax is applied along the line of indentations. A wax rivet 24 is thus formed which provides additional mechanical bonding and prevents access of moisture to the immediate region of the compression bond 22 by reason of the absorbed wax 24A.
