Title: Device, method and arrangement for pressing two axis-parallel rollers approachable to one another in a device for producing and/or treating a web of material
Inventor: UEBERSCHAER MANFRED
IPC: D21F3/06
Filed: 2002-05-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mutually pressing two rollers (14, 16) against each other in a painting facility. Said device comprises force generating means (26) and sensor means (36) for detecting the pressure force between the rollers (14, 16). According to the invention, the sensor means (36) are arranged outside the bodies of the two rollers (14, 16). The invention also relates to a method for adjusting the pressure of the rollers (14, 16) against each other, wherein at least one of the rollers (14, 16) has a radially elastic roller cover (128, 130). According to the invention, a distance-force characteristic is determined for the roller pair (14, 16). In order to achieve a desired pressing force of the rollers (14, 16) against each other when the device is operating, a corresponding set value of axial distance (e) is determined from the distance-force characteristic and regulated in the roller pair (14, 16).

Abstract: A topical ointment pharmaceutical composition that uses a lipophilic base, a pharmaceutical active and, dispersed in the base, from about 1% to about 50% by weight of the total composition of hydrogenated non-melted castor oil in powder form. The result of using hydrogenated non-melted castor oil in powder form is a surprising pharmaceutical elegance perceived to be smoother in texture and more spreadable than an ointment made by melting the hydrogenated castor oil.

Abstract: An absolute 2D position-sensing device is usable to measure the relative
position of two elements. A 2D absolute scale includes an integrated 2D absolute
scale pattern extending over the 2D scale area along each measuring axis of the scale.
The integrated 2D absolute scale pattern includes a plurality of periodic portions
interleaved with a plurality of non-periodic portions along each axis. Each periodic
portion includes a plurality of periodically-placed scale elements. Each non-periodic
portion includes a plurality of code elements indicative of an absolute measurement
value. The code elements may have a length that is narrower along each measuring
axis is than the length of the periodic scale elements along each measuring axis. The
offset of the periodically-placed elements relative to a readhead of the device is
combined with the absolute measurement value to determine an absolute position.

remote terminals. In one embodiment of the present invention, determining the calibration
function includes transmitting a calibration signal, using an array of antenna elements of a first
radio, to a second radio, and receiving, at the first radio, a downlink spatial signature related
signal from the second radio containing information related to a second radio downlink spatial
signature, the information being calculated using the calibration signal. Then, a second radio
downlink, spatial signature may be determined using the downlink spatial signature related signal.
Also, a second radio uplink spatial signature may be determined using an uplink spatial signature
signal from the second radio to the first radio. The calibration function may then be determined
using the second radio downlink spatial signature and the second radio uplink spatial signature.
Furthermore, one embodiment of the present invention may include determining a third radio
downlink weight vector For a third radio using a third radio uplink weight vector and the
calibration function.

Abstract: The apparatus (10) is for forming a resin film (11) from a resin (A) for a middle
portion to form a resin film main body (11A) of the resin film (11) and a resin (B) for edge
portions to form both side edge portions in a crosswise direction of the resin film (11). The
apparatus (10) comprises: a feed block (13) which includes a joining part (36) where the resin
(A) for the middle portion in a molten state and the resin (B) for the edge portions in a molten
state are joined in such a manner as to enclose both side edges in the crosswise direction of the
resin film main body (11A) with the resin (B) for the edge portions; and an extruding die (12)
through which the joined resins (A, B) are extruded to form the resin film (11). Thus, a
method and apparatus for forming the resin film (11) can avoid the inclusion of the resin (A)
for the middle portion in the trimmed-off selvages while preventing the film separation of the
resins (A, B) for the middle portion and for the edge portions, and therefore, increase the
recyclability and the productivity of the resin film (11).

Abstract: An automatic hole punch is disclosed for creating holes in a sheave of sheet material.
The automatic hole punch is preferably user-selectable between punching modes,
such as two-hole and three-hole modes. A motor (54) is coupled to a camshaft (74)
by a gear train (62). The camshaft (74) carries a plurality of cams (90) each having
an associated punch (86). As the camshaft (74) rotates, the cams (90) sequentially
drive corresponding punches (86). However, depending on the selected modality,
one or more punches (86) may be idle by not being engaged with their respective
cams (90), thus resulting in varying combinations of driven punches (86) resulting in
different hole patterns. Finally, a spacer (130) can be inserted into a material
receiving slot (38) for adjusting the relative positioning of the material to the punches
(86) to properly position the hole pattern along an edge of the material to be
punched.

Abstract: Procédé pour produire des surfaces de subdivision en temps réel s'utilisant en infographie. Dans un mode de réalisation exemplaire du procédé, des données de face et de subdivision sont produites pour une face subdivisée. Ladite face est constituée d'un certain nombre de surfaces de subdivision. Ces données de face et de subdivision comprennent respectivement des sommets et des arêtes qui définissent la face subdivisée. De plus, deux indicateurs de bit sont associés à chaque arête identifiée dans les données de subdivision relatives à la face subdivisée. Un indicateur de bit sert à identifier si l'arête associée est utilisée pour la deuxième fois, et l'autre pour indiquer si l'arête associée est déjà utilisée deux fois. Les données de subdivision relatives à la face subdivisée sont ensuite utilisées pour produire des arêtes subdivisées et supplémentaires. Chaque arête identifiée par les données de subdivision relatives à la face subdivisée est définie par deux arêtes subdivisées. Si une arête est utilisée deux fois, lorsqu'elle est utilisée pour la deuxième fois, l'ordre des arêtes subdivisées qui composent l'arête est inversé. Les données de face relatives à une surface de subdivision sont ensuite produites à l'aide des données de face et de subdivision relatives à la face subdivisée, et les données de subdivision relatives à la surface de subdivision sont produites à l'aide des arêtes subdivisées et supplémentaires. De façon similaire, les données de face et de subdivision relatives à la surface de subdivision comprennent respectivement des sommets et des arêtes qui définissent la surface de subdivision ; et deux indicateurs de bit sont associés à chaque arête identifiée dans les données de subdivision relatives à la surface de subdivision. Après que les données respectives de face et de subdivision relatives à la face subdivisée et aux surfaces de subdivision sont produites, de nouveaux sommets produits pour chaque arête définissent la face subdivisée. Un indicateur de bit de sommet intérieur est utilisé pour indiquer si un sommet nouvellement produit est un sommet intérieur ; le cas échéant, la pondération de mélange pour un sommet voisin partageant une arête est divisée en deux au moyen d'un système de pondération de sommet standard (3/8, 3/8, 1/8, 1/8). Tous les sommets sont ensuite déplacés pour produire une face subdivisée plus régulière.
