Abstract: A section of an I S machine comprises a blank station, at which the parison is formed, an intermediate station, at which reheating may take place and a final forming station at which a container is finally formed in a blow mould, the three stations lying in a straight line. The blow mould is arranged to move backwards and forwards between the intermediate station (where the mould is closed around a parison) and the final forming station. Means for transferring parison from the blank station to the intermediate station comprises an invert mechanism which comprises two neck-ring mechanisms which operate alternately to transfer a parison from the blank station to the intermediate station.

Abstract: A balanced amplifier delivers a detection voltage in order to carry out power supply control. A level shift circuit shifts the level of the detection voltage to a level shift voltage for a +5 Volts system, namely, a low withstand voltage system. An adder adds a reference voltage V REF2  to the level shift voltage as a D.C bias voltage and produces an added voltage. A variable attenuator attenuates the added voltage and produces an attenuated voltage. A subtracter subtracts the reference voltage V REF2  from the attenuated voltage and produces a subtracted voltage. The subtracted voltage is converted into a current by a voltage-current converting circuit and turns back to the balanced amplifier as a signal for a high withstand voltage system. Thus, a signal process can be carried out by a circuit of a low withstand voltage.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for aligning webs, such as photographic film or paper, where the trailing edge of an expiring web is spliced to the lead edge of a fresh web. A supporting means having the fresh web thereon in a fixed position is caused to move by sensor means transmitting a signal corresponding to precise positioning of the expiring relative to the fixed position of the fresh web. According to the invention, a programmable controller is used to analyze the signals received from the sensors and directs the movements of the supporting means where the webs are ultimately moved into abutting or overlapping contact and then spliced.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of a single "hold-out" coating layer applied by the paper machine on the press-applied barrier side of a paperboard substrate. It more particularly relates to a substrate for paperboard packaging comprising :
     a first layer of particulate minerals (4);   a paperboard layer (6) located interior to said first layer of particulate minerals (4);   a second layer of particulate minerals (8) including a colloidal copolymer for improving holdout located interior to said paperboard layer (6) ; and   a barrier layer (10) located interior to said second layer of particulate minerals (8);     
 and to a method for producing such a substrate.

Abstract: The apparatus for detecting chemiluminescent light is a
component of a luminometer that can be incorporated in a sample
analysis system. Such apparatus, also referred to as a fiber optic read-head,
includes a fiber optic cable having a light-transmission end that
connects to a photon counter of the luminometer. An opposite end
portion of the fiber optic cable is divided into a plurality of fiber optic
ribbons. Each of the fiber optic ribbons has a light-receiving end.
The ribbons are radially arranged such that the light-receiving ends
define a cylindrical passageway for accommodation of a sample
analysis tube or cuvette. The fiber optic ribbons are maintained in
their desired position by a core. The core is housed in an opaque
housing that prevents light from coming in or straying out. Thus, any
chemiluminescent light emitted from a tube within the core is collected
by the light receiving ends of the fiber optic ribbon and transmitted to
the light-transmitting end of the fiber optic cable for conversion into
electronic data. The read-head can also be used with input light beams
that produce fluorescent light, multi-angled light scattering, polarized
light and light of predetermined intensity.

ceramic billet is undertaken to form a near net-shaped ceramic bearing. Thereafter, the
near net-shaped ceramic bearing is sintered resulting in a sintered ceramic bearing.
After sintering, the ceramic bearing is further shaped or machined. After forming the
ceramic bearing, at least two air inlet ports are formed in the body portion of the
bearing in fluid communication with air channels having preferably a spiral pattern
formed in at least one flange portion of the bearing.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for encoding and transferring
data from a transmitter to a receiver, using the human body as a
transmission medium. The transmitter includes an electric field
generator, a data encoder which operates by modulating the electric
field, and electrodes to couple the electric field through the human
body. The receiver includes electrodes, in physical contact with, or
close proximity to, a part of the human body, for detecting an electric
field carried through the body, and a demodulator for extracting the data
from the modulated electric field. An authenticator, connected to the
receiver, processes the encoded data and validates the authenticity of
the transmission. The apparatus and method are used to identify and
authorize a possessor of the transmitter. The possessor then has secure
access to, and can obtain delivery of, goods and services such as the
distribution of money, phone privileges, building access, and
commodities. Encryption provides rapid transmission and authentication
of the transmitter, and a plurality of similar transmitters, with minimum
vulnerability to counterfeit. Signal processing and digital
communication components accommodate variations in location and
orientation of the transmitter and receiver, and provide transmitters
with long life times and high reliability.
