Patent EP-0565360-A3 (EP)
Title: Reconstituted tabacco sheets and methods for producing and using the same
Inventor: GELLATLY GRANT
IPC: A24D1/02
Filed: 1993-04-07
Abstract: Reconstituted tobacco sheets manufactured from tobacco dust and binder are described herein. More particularly, the tobacco dust has a mean particle size in the range of from about 60 mesh to about 400 mesh to afford reconstituted tobacco sheets having about 80% to about 90% tobacco content with improved quality and survivability. The reduced particle size of the tobacco dust allows an increase in the solids content of the slurry without an increase in slurry viscosity. The increased solids content reduces the drying load of the cast sheet thereby allowing an increased production rate. The reconstituted tobacco sheets may be prepared from a slurry comprising tobacco dust and binder that may be subjected to a means for removing air trapped within the slurry before casting the slurry into sheets. An apparatus for determining the amount of air trapped within the slurry prepared according to the process of the present invention is also described herein.

Abstract: A hand held spray gun (10) which reduces operator fatigue and stress. The gun handle (14) has an ergonomically designed shape and the size of the handle may be changed using different size handle covers (25). The gun (10) has a plurality of triggers (31, 42, 44, 45) operated by different fingers (50, 51) when the gun is held in different orientations to reduce fatigue and operating frequency stress on an operator's fingers. Some triggers operate low force valves which supply pilot air to a pilot valve which opens the fluid and air valves. Paint and air hoses (38, 40) may be attached to alternate locations on the gun (10) to reduce hand and wrist fatigue when painting vertical or horizontal surfaces. A junction box (99, 100) may be included to allow the connection of lighter weight hoses (38, 40) to the gun and may include an optional trigger valve (110) to remotely trigger the fluid and air valves in the gun. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device having a memory cell including
a transistor having, as source and drain regions, impurity-diffused
regions formed selectively in the active area isolated
by field insulating film formed selectively at the surface of a
semiconductor substrate and a capacitor comprising a lower
electrode including a bottom electrode and a cylindrical
electrode. The bottom electrode is formed on an interlayer
insulating film formed over the substrate and is connected to one
of the impurity-diffused regions through a first hole opened in
said interlayer insulating film. The cylindrical electrode is
formed at the edge portion of said bottom electrode and a
plurality of second holes formed in the interlayer insulating
film on said field insulating film. The first hole and the
second holes have substantially the same dimensions except for
a depth thereof. The second holes are arranged to be a mark
representing characters to assist the process control. In
addition, a check element fabricated by forming the lower
electrodes covering a plurality of second holes and cylindrical
electrodes so that these electrodes assume a loop toothed at a
certain pitch can be prevented from being broken down even if the
dimensions are large.

Abstract: A originating terminal (11) sends an ATM address
interrogation request to a server (21) if the ATM address of
another party's terminal (12) is unknown at the time of
communication. Upon receiving the ATM address
interrogation request from the terminal (11), the server (21)
refers to an ATM address table (21a), searches the table for
an ATM address corresponding to a protocol address
contained in the interrogation request and notifies the
originating terminal (11) of this ATM address. If an ATM
address corresponding to the protocol address has not
been registered in the ATM address table (21a), the server (21)
transfers (broadcasts) the ATM address interrogation
request to all terminals (12,13). The server (21) notifies the
originating terminal (11) of an ATM address obtained by an
answer in response to this interrogation request and
registers the ATM address in the ATM address table (21a).

Abstract: A system is provided for generically scheduling operations necessary to produce desired
documents on a print engine. Such print engine scheduling employs identifying (302), sequencing
(304), and initiating (306) print engine operations that will produce a desired document. The system
employs a specified description (300) of print engines that enable a scheduler to look up what
operations are necessary to produce portions of a document, to find allowable times for those
operations, and to send control commands to various print engine components to perform the
operations. The system is independent of any particular print engine configuration. Thus, it is
reusable for a wide range of configurations.

length of the section of image strip that runs in front of the viewing
window, thus ensuring the proper positioning in front of the viewing
window and avoiding friction against the running track that includes the
viewing window.
