Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and system for applying decorative tape to a glass sheet. The disclosed system and method allow tape segments that are shorter than a distance between a cutter and a glass engagement position to be applied by an application head to the glass sheet. The system includes the application head, a tape supply, a drive roller, a cutter, and a controller. The application head applies tape segments cut from the tape supply to the glass pane. The drive roller advances the tape dispensed by the application head. The cutter cuts end portions of each tape segment. The controller is programmed to sort moves of the application head, tape supply, drive roller, and cutter to allow tape segments that are shorter than a distance between the cutter and the glass engagement position to be applied to the glass sheet.

Abstract: The invention refers to the construction and the procedure for injection molding multi-layer plastic products. The procedure is to first injection mold the first layer (1) with ribbed protrusions (12). In the closed product structure, the segments (1', 1'') of the first layer (1), with an opening (11) shaped with a solid core or in any other known way, are joined into a skeleton via inlets (13), with coupling or in any other known way. First formed layer (1) is then precisely positioned into the next mold, and over the whole, or a part of the outer surface another layer (2) is injection molded, whose opposite ribs (21) fill in the cavities between the ribs (12), and the ribs (22) now protrude out of the surface of layer (2). Layer (1) over-molded with by the layer (2) is then positioned into the next mold and the whole procedure is repeated until the desired layer (n) is injection molded whose ribs (n1) fill in the cavities or indentations of the previous layer, while on the surface of the layer (n) grooves (nu) are formed. The layer (n), which contains all the previous layers, is positioned in the last mold where the covering/finishing thin layer (p) is injection molded, whose ridges (pi) fill-in the grooves (nu) of the layer (n), while the outer surface of the layer (p), i.e. of the product, is smooth, or coarse if necessary, or profiled in a desired pattern or design.

Title: Gas turbine combustor cooling stucture
Inventor: NISHIDA KOICHI
IPC: F23R3/42
Filed: 1999-11-04
Abstract: Cooling structure of gas turbine combustor in which cooling medium flows through grooves in wall is improved so that adjustment of flow velocity, pressure loss and heat transfer rate of cooling medium flow in the wall becomes possible and cooling effect thereof is enhanced. Wall of combustor tail tube is made in double structure in which outer plate (1) and inner plate (4) are jointed together being lapped one on another . The outer plate (1) has air inlet hole (3) and groove (2) formed therein . The groove (2) is closed by jointing of the inner plate (4) to the outer plate (1).      The inner plate (4) has air outlet hole (5) formed therein.      The groove (2) communicates with the air inlet hole (3) and the air outlet hole (5). Cross sectional shape of the groove (2) is changed two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally such that width enlarges toward the hole (5) from the hole (3) or depth is constant or changed in tapered form. Cooling air flows into the groove (2) from the air inlet hole (3) of tail tube surface to flow toward both sides along the groove (2) for cooling of the wall. The air is thereby heated to expand to increase flow velocity and pressure loss, but flow passage enlarges toward the hole (5) and flow velocity is suppressed and pressure loss is reduced.
