Abstract: A mascara brush and method of manufacture thereof provides a mascara brush with bristle fibers that are split into numerous fragments. The mascara brush is made with bristle fibers having longitudinal voids. The brush is then conditioned by passing a rotating wire wheel over the bristle fibers . The wire wheel splits the bristle fibers into numerous bristle fragments. The conditioned brush is softer to the touch than the original mascara brush. The conditioning can be applied to the entire brush or one or more zones of the brush. The conditioning can be shallow, so that only the bristle tips are conditioned, or deep, so that a substantial length of the bristle is conditioned.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter material, especially in the form of a deep-bed filter layer, consisting of a supporting layer forming passages, a first type of plastic fibres and a pre-determinable amount of natural fibres. The first type of fibres are embodied as bicomponent fibres comprising a core which has a high melting point and is surrounded by an envelope having a lower melting point. An essentially non-shrinkable, stable filter matrix with reliable connection points can be formed without additional wetting agents or binding agents, due to the fact that the filter material contains a wet-strength agent selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrine resins and/or melamine formaldehyde resins. Fine deposition processes can thus be carried out with said filter material for fluids, in order to separate tiny particles such as micro-organisms or proteins of liquid solutions.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an alarm system and a method for suppressing redundant alarms in a monitored system. The alarm system comprises a process control unit, an FDI unit, a filter, and an alarm display unit. The process control unit detects anomalies in the monitored system and generates alarms corresponding to them. The FDI unit diagnoses failures in the monitored system and generates a failure-cause-effect graph comprising a list of generated alarms, along with the alarms corresponding to the causes and effects of each listed alarm. The FDI unit dynamically updates the failure-cause-effect graph concurrently with the generation of alarms by the process control unit and the diagnosis of failures by the FDI unit. The filter receives the generated alarms and identifies redundant and not-yet-classified alarms from the received alarms, by using the failure-cause-effect graph. The filter suppresses the identified redundant alarms and passes on non-redundant and the not-yet-classified alarms to the alarm display unit, for display.

Abstract: A floating liner for a container of welding wire which floating liner includes a tube having two ends and a passageway extending between the two ends. The floating liner is unsupported between the top of the container and the retaining ring. The floating liner is designed to provide structural support to the wire and added stiffness or rigidity to the wire to inhibit buckling of the wire, knot formation in the wire that can form between the retaining ring and the top of the container. The floating liner has a weight profile that causes one end of the tube to at least partially float above the top surface of a layer of welding wire or retaining ring in the container as the welding wire is paid out of the container.
