Title: Process for producing smoking articles with reduced ignition proclivity characteristics and products made according to same
Inventor: PETERSON RICHARD M

Granted: 2011-01-25
Abstract: A process for reducing the permeability of a paper wrapper (14) used in the construction of a smoking article (10) is disclosed. The paper wrapper (14) is treated with a film-forming composition (52) that forms treated discrete areas (18) on the wrapper. The treated discrete areas (18) have a permeability within a predetermined range sufficient to reduce the ignition proclivity properties of a smoking article (10) made with the wrapper (14). In accordance with the present invention, the film-forming composition (52) is applied as multiple layers (31, 33, 35) to the paper wrapper 14). After each application step, the wrapper (14) is dried. Applying the film-forming composition (52) to the paper wrapper (14) in multiple layers (31, 33, 35) minimizes distortion and other adverse affects that may occur to the wrapper (14).

Abstract: In the inventive method for the sanitary rinsing of an animal, an assembly line is provided which includes a plurality of shackles. Each shackle includes an inventive RFID tag which includes a machine readable unique shackle number. Once an animal is stunned and attached to a shackle the animal is moved to a weighing station, which is equipped with an RFID tag reader, weighs the animal and transmits the weight and shackle number to a computer where the data is recorded in a database. The animal is then bled and moved to a rinsing station, which is equipped with an RFID tag reader which reads the shackle number. The system then looks up the weight of the animal to be rinsed at that particular rinsing station and calculates the amount of solution to inject into the circulatory system of the animal. After the end of the hose and nozzle and the operator's hands are sanitized, which is verified by the system, the nozzle is inserted into an entry point into the circulatory system and the operator starts the flow of the predetermined amount of solution into the animal. If the flow is not started within a time window, the operator must re-sanitize.

Abstract: A single-use syringe of the self-destructible or passive self-lockable type, namely in which self-locking thereof occurs after the syringe has been used a first time, independently of the user's will, is characterised in that it comprises at least two rings on the inner side of the barrel which have the general shape of a circular rim with a variable inner radius and in that each one of the longitudinal ribs of the plunger has a height which is different from that of at least one of the other ribs so that the plunger can be inserted in a close-fitting manner through the space defined by the variable inner radius of the barrel rings. In this way the resistance to passage of the plunger is miminised, reducing the risk of formation of haematomas, and with a manufacturing cost substantially similar to that of conventional syringes.

Abstract: A device and a method for plasma spraying are disclosed. The device comprises, a cathode, an anode, a plasma channel formed by the anode and intermediate electrodes, and one or more flowable material injectors. The plasma channel has a throttling portion that divides the plasma channel into a high pressure portion near the cathode formed by at least one intermediate electrode and a low pressure portion near the anode. During operation, a plasma generating gas is heated by the arc maintained between the cathode and the anode, forming plasma. When the plasma passes through the throttling portion, its speed increases to a supersonic speed, and at the same time its static pressure drops. Flowable materials are injected in the plasma flow in the low pressure portion. The particles in the flowable materials are heated by the plasma and the resultant heated particles and plasma are output from the outlet of the plasma channel.

The projections are disposed intermediate the body portion and an interior surface of the housing and have a distal end contacting the interior surface to carry the radiation sensor in a three dimensional spaced apart relationship to the interior surface. The length of the projections is selected to attenuate substantially mechanical energy that is induced at the distal end and propagates along the length of each projection prior to the propagated energy being incident upon the body portion.
