Patent EP-1534413-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SAVOLY ARPAD
IPC: C09K23/00
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: The present invention provides a dispersant and foaming agent combination that is useful in the production of gypsum wallboard and other aqueous cementitious products, a method of forming a gypsum wallboard and a gypsum wallboard. The dispersant in the combination according to the invention is a naphthalene sulfonate-aldehyde condensate alkali salt polymer having a weight average molecular weight of from about 17,000 to about 47,000. The alkali is preferably an alkali metal and/or an alkaline earth metal. The aldehyde is preferably formaldehyde. The foaming agent used in the combination according to the invention is a soap, preferably an alkali salt of an alkyl ether sulfate and/or an alkyl sulfate. The combination of a high molecular weight dispersant and a foaming agent produces a gypsum wallboard core effect that more efficiently entrains air (i.e., creates void space), thereby lowering overall board weight without detrimentally affecting strength. A gypsum wallboard formed using the dispersant and foaming agent combination according to the invention exhibits a higher nail pull value than gypsum wallboard formed using a conventional dispersant and a foaming agent at the same solids loading ratio.

Title: Foamed plastic sheet
Inventor: RAKUTT DIETMAR
IPC: B32B3/18
Filed: 2003-08-16
Abstract: Each structural panel (10) is entirely made of a single plastic. The body segments (11) butt together at their sides, where planar weld seams (12, 13) join them. These seams have little or no porosity; they are interlayers. In plan view they form a network of bridging sections, acting as reinforcement.  Closed-cell foam is used. The weld seams are formed by fused plastic of the segments (11). Resistance to planar compression is increased by controlled weld seam thickness. Segment rods are extruded in a direction parallel to adjacent weld seam surfaces. They have a structure orientated in the direction of extrusion. They are laid together without gaps, their form facilitating this. They are polygonal, with eight, six, four or three sides. The product is a plastic panel.

Abstract: The inventive process control system makes use of Optimal control (OC) and model
predictive control (MPC) techniques for selection of the Expert Systems (ES) targets U.
The ES target U is selected in such a way that the performance criterion J is minimized. In
other words, a mathematical model of extended system given by the process P and the ES
is developed. This mathematical model has hybrid nature in the sense that both
continuous dynamics (mostly process) and logical relationships (mostly ES) appear in it.
Controlled variables of the mathematical model are the ES targets U and inputs are the
measurements y and the performance criterion J. OC and/or MPC techniques are used to
compute U. 
     The optimizer of the OC/MPC selects values of the ES targets U only. This activity has
lower sampling rates than selection of C, which makes the design of the OC/MPC
controller easier.
