Abstract: The solution of the invention relates to a method and apparatus for the treatment of a paper web in a paper or cardboard machine. The essential feature of the solution of the invention is that a moving material web (1), its properties and/or its behavior are influenced by the use of a gas (2) by causing the gas (2) to flow substantially toward the material web or to its immediate vicinity.
Patent CA-2382951-A1 (CA)
Title: Feeding flexible products
Inventor: COOK EDWARD J
IPC: B65H3/04
Filed: 2002-04-22
Abstract: A stack of pouches (or other flexible products) is supported such that the stack declines from the horizontal. A pouch at the base of the stack can then be pulled upwardly from the base of the stack. This may be accomplished with an inclined conveyor on which the base of the stack rests. Because the basal pouch is pulled upwardly, gravity assists in ensuring that none of the other pouches in the stack follow the basal pouch. Thus, the approach assists in ensuring single pouch feeding.

Title: Method for a communication network for implementing an inter-node user mobility
Inventor: WILLE KLAUS
IPC: H04M3/00
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: The invention enables a user to perform an inter-node change between terminals of a communication network whilst retaining individual user settings. For this purpose, after the user has registered at a terminal (EG) coupled to a first network node (NK1), user-oriented configuration data (KD) are requested by a home network node or similar (NK2) of the user, identified by the user, and are subsequently transmitted to the first network node (NK1). The latter then initiates a user configuration to be set for the user by means of the configuration data (KD) transmitted.

Inventor: KENMOCHI YASUHIKO
IPC: D04H1/54
Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: There is disclosed a heat-sealing method including: feeding a fusible fiber sheet (12) into the clearance between a pair of rolls (1, 5), at least one of which has sealing ridges (2, 6) of a predetermined pattern on its outer circumference; and heating and pressing the fiber sheet (12) with the sealing ridges (2, 6), to form fused portions corresponding to the pattern of the sealing ridges (2, 6), in the fiber sheet (12). An insulator (4) is disposed to cover the outer circumference of the rolls (1, 5), as lacking the sealing ridges. The insulator (4) is made of a material which has a lower thermal conductivity than that of the sealing ridges and which can be elastically contracted by the pressure of the rolls (1, 5). The fiber sheet (12) to be fed into the clearance between the rolls (1, 5) rotating is compressed by the insulator (4) to discharge its internal air and is then heated and pressed by the sealing ridges (2, 6) so that it is heat-sealed.

Title: System for preparing glass fiber pellets having low discoloration
Inventor: HENRION JEAN-MARC
IPC: C03C25/14
Filed: 2000-12-12
Abstract: A two-part sizing system for making colorless, densified fiber pellets of a reinforcing fiber material. The densified product may be advantageously produced by first applying a precursor size composition to reinforcing fiber strands, chopping the reinforcing fiber strands into chopped strand segments, applying a binder size, and densifying the chopped strand segments to form densified fiber pellets. The binder size is formulated using a copolymer of maleic anhydride which generates a product free from discoloration. In the process of making the pellets, the sized chopped strands are densified by tumbling in a rotating chamber for a period of time sufficient to increase their density but insufficient to degrade the fibers to a point where composite articles formed from such pellets have lower tensile or impact strengths than comparable composite articles formed from unpelletized strand segments.

Title: Valve assembly for a pressure flush system
Inventor: FISH ROBERT H
IPC: E03D3/10
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: A pressure flush system for use within a toilet tank includes a pressure flush tank having an inlet port and a discharge port, an air inlet, and a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a generally cylindrical housing, a water inlet in fluid communication with the pressure flush tank, a water outlet in fluid communication with the discharge port, a normally closed valve which allows fluid communication between the water inlet and water outlet when the valve is opened, a piston axially spaced from the valve, and a flexible tube positioned within the housing which is carried between the valve and the piston and in fluid communication therebetween. Relative to the valve, the piston is movable into and out sealing engagement with the discharge port to permit the discharge of water under pressure contained within the pressure flush tank. The flexible tube is movable in response to movement of the piston.

Cette transaction peut être finalisée par la transmission de l'indicatif du vendeur et des données d'achat à un processeur d'autorisation pour approbation de crédit ou de débit. L'approbation ou le refus de l'autorisation est transmis(e) au WPD où l'utilisateur est notifié discrètement du résultat. S'il y a approbation, l'utilisateur peut transmettre l'approbation au WVP afin de finaliser la transaction. En utilisant les systèmes et procédés de cette invention, les vendeurs n'ont pas besoin de maintenir des communications à longue portée entre les lieux de vente et les processeurs d'autorisation ou d'autres parties. Les acheteurs bénéficient également de la notification discrète d'approbation ou de refus de crédit ou de débit.

IPC: A47K11/12

Abstract: AN injected molding process produces a small replica of a urinal. Designed with efficient, quick draining in mind, to accomodate above average flow for any male urinating.      The acute angle of sides and bottom assure complete draining, so thorough as to leave behind no traces of urine. The Bullseye installation requires a drilled hole into any drain pipe ...but must be below any p trap .The Bullseye p trap is accomplished by tying a lose knot in the hose prior to plugging it into the drain pipe. This assures no infiltration of sewer gases into the room where the Bullseye is connected. The Bullseye simply hangs from a hook at the desired level for the user. The close proximity of the user assures no mess by a spray gone astray.The drain hose is secured to the Bullseye by a tight precision fit,locking the hose to prevent possible leaks.The special inverted drain angle permits a tight fit without the use of hose clamps. When using the Bullseye where no running water or regular drain pipes are available, the Bullseye hose can drain to a holding container or tank to be disposed of at a later time, or it can drain directly to a perforated container burried twelve inches or so beneath the ground, this would avoid all odours associated with the disposal of urine.        The small hose orifice of the hose does not lend itself to evaporation thereby, making the bullseye totally odourless.

Abstract: In an engine operated machine system including a hollow support rod connected at one end to an engine through a vibration insulator, an auxiliary weight is mounted at the other end of a crankshaft for generating a centrifugal force in the same direction as an inertia force of a piston, when the piston reaches top and bottom dead centers.
