Patent EP-1300641-A2 (EP)
Inventor: CHUANG STRONG C
IPC: F26B13/24
Filed: 1995-10-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and respective system of
making a creped paper product. The method comprises
delivering a furnish from a head box to a forming fabric to
form an embryonic paper web. The embryonic paper web is
then vacuum dewatered while supported on the forming fabric
such that the web is in the range of from about 6% to about
32% dry. The web is then vacuum transferred from the
forming fabric to an air permeable fabric and while
supported on such air permeable fabric, the web is lightly
pressed against the capillary membrane surface of a
capillary dewatering roll. The capillary membrane has
capillary pores therethrough which have a substantially
straight through, non-tortuous path, and the capillary
pores have a pore aspect ratio of from about 2 to about 20.
Alternatively, part or all of the vacuum dewatering could
be done while the web is on the air permeable fabric. The
web is then separated from the capillary membrane and the
separated web is passed through a creping dryer without
first passing the web through a conventional through dryer.

Abstract: In each embodiment of this invention, a pairing
apparatus (10, 10x) has a random pairing module (17)
which generates pairings from the first to (r 1 )-th
rounds by the random system, and a modified Swiss
pairing module (18) which generates pairings from the
(r 1 +1)-th to r-th rounds by the modified Swiss system.
When first several matches are paired by the random
system, win points are distributed to respective
participating teams in accordance with their merits.
For this reason, by subsequent pairings of the modified
Swiss system, participating teams can be successively
paired within a close merit range. Hence, the total
win points (ranks) can reflect the merits. For this
reason, the reverse phenomenon of merits and ranks can
be suppressed without using the round-robin system.

Abstract: A switch comprises voltage applying means for providing
direct current potentials to first to third beams arranged with
a spacing slightly distant one from another, and electrodes
for inputting/outputting signals to/from the beams. By
controlling the direct current potential provided to the beam,
an electrostatic force is caused to thereby change the beam
positions and change a capacitance between the beams. By
causing an electrostatic force between the first and second
beams and moving the both beams, the first and second beams
can be electrically coupled together at high speed. Also, an
electrostatic force is caused on the third beam arranged facing
to the first and second beams, to previously place it close
to the first and second beams. When the electrostatic force
is released from between the first and second beams, the second
beam moves toward the third beam thereby releasing the first
and second beams of an electric coupling.

IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2003-04-03
Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for processing tissue comprises the application of a directional load to modify the properties of the tissue. In particular, the directional force is sufficient to increase the rigidity of the tissue asymmetrically relative to an unaligned tissue equivalently processed without being subjected to a load. In some embodiments, a sufficient directional load is applied to increase the rigidity of the tissue relative to an unaligned tissue equivalently processed that is not subjected to the load, in which the load is applied with a load applicator. A connector transfers the load from the load applicator to the tissue. Selectively aligned tissue having asymmetric mechanical properties can be used to form a prosthetic valve. The leaflets are matched with respect to each of their properties to have improved coaptation relative to corresponding tissue leaflets that are not aligned.
