Title: Method and apparatus for improved twin wire forming
IPC: D21F9/02
Filed: 1992-03-03
Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement to twin wire forming wherein an open support structure in the form of an opened or grilled breast roll or a slotted forming shoe supports at least a portion of the outer wire in the forming throat. In such manner, the gap between the open support structure and the forming cylinder can be narrowed such that the gap is less than or equal to the thickness of the jet of stock injected between the wire to form the web. The jet of stock so injected impinges on both the forming cylinder and the open support structure and immediate drainage is provided through the outer wire without substantially varying the tension or radius of the outer wire thereby generally improving uniformity and, in particular, improving basis weight uniformity of the web produced.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB97/00437 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 14, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 14, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 17, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/29877 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 21, 1997A machining tool and method of making same includes a blank that is formed to a shank and which is provided with machining faces. The machining faces are configured to expose material of a PCD or PCBN element that is formed in a recess in the blank and fused to the blank using material from the transition group of elements, such as cobalt. The recess has a configuration that is defined by side walls, a base wall, and end walls, so as to define a mold in which the PCD or PCBN material is formed into an element that becomes fused with the blank. Such fusing is achieved by leaching of the cobalt into the PCD or PCBN element during the application of heat. Thus, no additional fabrication process is required for joining the PCBN or PCD material to the blank.

Title: Electromagnetic method and apparatus to measure constituents of human or animal tissue
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1992-01-29
Abstract: To determine glucose or other constituents of the human or animal body, a stabilized near-infrared radiation beam (D) containing two alternating wavelengths that have approximately equal extinction coefficients in the tissue, is directed onto the sample area (18), the transmitted signal (E) alternating component is zeroed by tuning one of the wavelengths, the extracellular-to-intracellular fluid ratio of the tissue is changed by exerting varying mechanical pressure on the tissue, or the ratio is allowed to change as a result of the natural pulsation. The alternating component of the transmitted beam power is measured in the changed fluid ratio state. The amplitude of the alternating-current (AC) signal given by the detector (19), is taken to represent glucose concentration or the difference from a preset reference concentration.

Patent AU-2814395-A (AU)
Title: Polyester insulation
Inventor: BECK MARTIN H
IPC: D04H1/54
Filed: 1995-05-25
Abstract: A non-woven mat of fibrous thermoplastic insulation is produced by melt blowing recycled polyethylene teraphthalate (PET). The PET is melted, pressurized and extruded from an extrusion head into substantially continuous fibers that are subjected to turbulent high velocity air that attenuates the fibers. The fibers are then collected on a collection device building up a non-woven mat. The collection device is spaced from the extrusion device forming a flight path for the fibers that is sufficiently long that the fibers split apart under the force of the high velocity air, fibrillating into a plurality of very fine fibrils of under 15 microns in diameter. These fibrils are analogous to goose down and greatly enhance the loft and R value of the mat.

Title: Method and device for producing a structured, voluminous non-woven web or film
Inventor: WAGNER WERNER
IPC: D04H3/14
Filed: 1999-12-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a structured, voluminous non-woven web or velourised film from a thermoplastic by producing an unstructured web and subsequently processing this web using a pair of rollers (10a, 10b). The pair of rollers consists of a positive roller (10a) having numerous positive bodies distributed over the roll sleeve surface and a negative roller (10b) having equally as numerous cavities. During the rolling process, the positive bodies engage with the cavities and stretch the unstructured web in the area of the roller engagements in such a way that a deep-drawn web structure with numerous cavities is produced. After the web has passed through a roller gap, the deformed web, still bonded to the positive roller, is brought into contact with a perforating tool and perforated.

Title: Brazing
Inventor: BLAD PER ARNE
IPC: H01R43/02
Filed: 1985-08-09
Abstract: The required heat is generated by an electric arc. The heat generated by the electric arc is conducted through at least a portion of the connection piece (4) and caused to melt a brazing metal (5) provided between the connection piece and the metal surface (7). The heat conducting portion of the connection piece (4) prevents direct contact between the electric arc and the metal surface (7) and the brazing metal during melting thereby preventing disadvantageous thermal actuation of the metal surface (7). When the current to the electric arc has been disconnected, a mechanical force is applied to the heat conducting portion of the connection piece (4) pressing the latter against the metal surface (7). A portion of the brazing metal (5) underneath is thereby pressed out under the remaining joint-forming surfaces of the connection piece also.
