Abstract: Subtitles of e.g. video information are recorded on a record medium (91) e.g. a disc recording. A first subtitle is recorded for use during normal playback. A second subtitle is recorded for use exclusively during trick-play. Addresses for the subtitles to be played back during the trick playback mode are stored in an area of the record medium (91) reserved for these addresses. The record medium acts as a computer-readable memory which directs a computer (14) to retrieve these addresses and locate subtitles to be displayed (1,7) during the trick playback mode on the record medium. The subtitles are searched by decoding (7) the subtitles located at the addresses on the record medium. The decoded (7) subtitles are displayed during the trick playback mode, mixed with the video (8,9,10). <IMAGE>

In the practice of the method there is at least one washing stage, and a second stage, including a suction, press, and/or thickening stage, following the washing stage. Cellulose pulp is fed to the washing stage, and then the washed pulp is fed to the second stage. A first filtrate is withdrawn from the second stage and a second filtrate is withdrawn from a washing stage of the at least one washing stage, or the second stage. The first filtrate is directed to the washing stage and the first filtrate is used as washing liquid in the washing stage. For example the washing stage may include a last washing stage in a multi-stage fractionating washer, and the second stage may be in the fractionating washer; and the first filtrate may be directed to the last washing stage of the multi-stage fractionating washer.

Abstract: A highly thermally conductive but yet highly conformable composition is made from gel filled with alumina. The use of  alpha -alumina in which at least 10 weight % of the  alpha -alumina particles have a particle size of at least 74  mu m makes possible the high filler levels needed to attain high thermal conductivity, without causing the decrease in elongation and softness normally associated with high filler levels. Further improvements are observed if the  alpha -alumina and the gel (or precursor thereof) are mixed with a specific energy input of at least 10 Joule/g. The input of such specific energy has the effect making the resulting composition more conformable than it otherwise would be. The composition may be internally supported by a flexible matrix such as a fabric or open-celled foam.
