Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing non-blocking slats of normally tacky amorphous propylene copolymers. The process entails coextrudiing the normally tacky amorphous propylene copolymer with a low viscosity polyolefin such as a polyethylene wax forming a core of amorphous propylene copolymer covered with a sheath of polyethylene wax. The coextruded article is cooled, cut (while exposing less than 40 percent of the core) and then coated with a non-tacky powder; thereby, forming non-blocking slats. Disclosed is also a novel amorphous propylene copolymer composition containing no more than 90 weight percent propylene and up to 70 weight percent of an alpha olefin comonomer having a needle penetration greater than 70 to less than 100 dmm at 23 °C and a Brookfield Thermosel Viscosity below 1000 cP at 190 °C.

Abstract: A Snubber is used to damp the swing of the door on an excavator bucket to prevent the door form being damaged by repeatedly slamming shut. The snubber has housing which mounts to an excavator bucket and a shaft pivotally mounted in the housing and connected to an excavator door. The shaft turns when the excavator door opens. The housing has a cylindrical cavity around the shaft. The cavity is divided into two volumes by a dam and a wiper arm on the shaft. The wiper arm forces hydraulic fluid to flow through an orifice between the volumes as the shaft turns. The wiper arm has end seals which seal against end walls of the cavity. The end seals are forced outwardly by hydraulic pressure when the door is closing. A one-way valve allows hydraulic fluid to bypass the orifice while the door is opening. The snubber requires less maintenance than previous friction snubbers.

Abstract: A security print contains a background pattern formed for example of dots or lines. An object, for example the text "BEWARE OF FORGERY", is worked into this regular background pattern for copy protection. The text is worked in by the individual lines of the background pattern being split at the places where the text is located into two partial lines which are each only about half as wide as the original line. With the naked eye this split of the background pattern components is not, or barely, recognizable. When such an original security print is copied on a conventional copying machine the original, relatively wide lines of the background pattern appear on the copy but the partial lines formed by the split thereof are not, or very poorly, copied so that the text "BEWARE OF FORGERY" appears clearly in the copy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the self-compensating measurement of volume flow rate of gases, with a gas flow passage (1) and a first (2) and a second flow meter device (3) for measuring the volume flow rate. The second flow meter device (3) is calibrated by first measurement values obtained from the first flow meter device (2). To extend the measuring range and to improve the measuring dynamics, the invention proposes that a thermal signal H1 is transmitted to the gas from a transmitter (4) located in the gas flow passage (1) of the first flow meter device (2), the thermal signal H1 is picked up, after a certain transit time, by a downstream sensor (5) of the first flow meter device, and the first measured values are determined from the transit time (L).

Abstract: The present invention consists of a secure interactive electronic account statement delivery system suitable for use over open networks such as the Internet. The invention utilizes a certification hierarchy to insure that electronic bills, invoices, and other account statements can be securely sent over open networks. The participants in the system are a certification authority, certificated banks, billers, and customers. The certification authority grants digital certificates to the certificated banks, which in turn grant digital certificates to billers and customers. Digital certificates form the basis for encryption and authentication of network communications, using public and private keys. The certificates associate a customer and biller with a certificated bank and with the electronic billing system, much like payment cards associate a customer with a payment card issuer and a particular payment card system. Digital signatures are used for authentication and non-repudiation. The certificates may be stored as digital data on storage media of a customer's or biller's computer system, or may be contained in integrated circuit or chip cards physically issued to billers and customers. The electronic bill itself may be a simple text message containing the equivalent of summary information for the bill, or may be more elaborate. In one embodiment of the invention, the electronic bill contains a number of embedded links, for example an embedded URL of a biller's world wide web server that allows the customer to interactively bring up detailed billing information by activating the link. The e-mail message may also include links to third party websites.

Abstract: Cyclonic separating apparatus comprising a cyclone (114) for effecting cyclonic separation and a tangential inlet for supplying fluid to the cyclone (114), the tangential inlet having at least two points of entry (152) into the interior of the cyclone (114). Each point of entry consists of a longitudinal slot (152) located in the cyclone for directing fluid into the cyclone in a tangential manner and each slot has a vane (154) for directing fluid through the respective slot. Providing two or more points of entry (152) to the interior of the cyclone (114) effectively spreads the inlet over a greater proportion of the circumference of the cyclone (114). The dimensions of the apparatus (110) can therefore be reduced and, furthermore, losses due to friction can be minimised. <IMAGE>
