Title: Extruder temperature controller with stable temperature reset
Inventor: EIVA SAULIUS TOMAS
IPC: B29C48/82
Filed: 2001-02-08
Granted: 2005-10-27
Abstract: The invention is an extruder temperature controller for an extruder barrel. The extruder temperature controller includes means for determining an actual screw speed and has means for storing a plurality of screw speeds. Each member of the plurality of stored screw speeds has a corresponding stored temperature reset value. The extruder temperature controller has a means for comparing and selecting that compares the actual screw speed to each of the plurality of stored screw speeds and selectes a default screw speed. The default screw speed has a smaller deviation from the actual screw speed than any other member of the compared, stored screw speeds. The controller further includes a means for generating a control output driver signal to the heat exchange means. The control output driver signal is the corresponding stored temperature reset value for the default screw speed. The invention further includes a means for delaying a control alarm for a predetermined time when the means for generating a control output driver signal to the heat exchange means operates at or near maximum capacity. The invention includes a method for controlling the temperature of an extruder barrel.

In one particular embodiment one or more upwardly tapered projections extend from a plate-support surface of a plate-handling machine for mating engagement with the exterior surface regions of one or more wells. In another embodiment, the exterior surface regions along one or more well bottoms are engagingly received within bores, or other receiving structure, formed on the plate-support surface of a machine. In a further embodiment, one or more downwardly extending projections depend from an acting-member support, along with the acting members of a machine. Introduction of the projections into some of the wells of a multi-well plate serves to align the acting members with the plate's other wells. A biasing assembly can be used to press together the engaging surface regions of the wells and the locating structures of the machine.

Inventor: SAJIC BRANKO
IPC: A61K8/42
Filed: 1996-09-05
Granted: 2001-01-04
Abstract: Disclosed are hair care compositions and methods for preparing such compositions which provide the benefits of cleaning, conditioning, curl retention, styling and setting properties simultaneously to hair in the application of a single product. The hair care compositions contain fatty alkyl amine salts, long chain quaternary ammonium salts and mixtures thereof of anionic styling polymers in a non-anionic surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system contains nonionic surfactants, semi-polar nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and mixtures thereof. The styling, setting and conditioning agents are present in the form of fatty alkyl amine salts or fatty quaternary ammonium salts which form anionic styling polymer particulate networks upon dilution in water. These networks are dispersed in the aqueous non-anionic surfactant system and are stabilized and thickened by optional swellable polymer thickening agents. Hair care compositions of the present invention can be made in the form of structured liquids, pearlescent/opaque isotropic liquid and/or translucent/clear isotropic liquids. The hair care compositions of the present invention, which allow for re-styling of the hair by wetting the hair with water, contain no anionic surfactants, silicones, solvents or cationic polymeric conditioning agents. Furthermore, multiple application of these hair care compositions does not produce a noticeable build-up on the hair.
