Abstract: The mounting of a printing cylinder (10) in a printing press includes sleeve bushings (52) mounted for angular rotation in opposed end frames (16) of the press with their longitudinal axes coincident. Each bushing (52) incorporates a bearing (50) for the support of a shaft (18) of the printing cylinder, the longitudinal axes of the shaft bearings (50) being coincident one with the other but spaced laterally from the longitudinal axes of the bushings. A rotary control shaft and linkage causes rotation of the bushings (52) by a determined angular extent producing movement of the printing cylinder (10) towards or away from a blanket cylinder (12) by an amount determined by the extent of angular rotation of the sleeves.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved container for food and non-food products. The container utilizes a novel paperboard barrier laminate structure which maintains an isolated gas environment in the container. The laminate makes use of high strength, heat-resistant and caulking polymer layers which prevent pinholes, cuts, or cracking of the barrier layers during blank conversion, package formation, and package distribution. In addition, the novel polymer resin layers act to caulk the seams and channels present in the carton providing a sealed leak free container. 
     The invention provides an oxygen barrier laminate structure for producing an oxygen impermeable leak free container comprising:
     (a) a mechanically stable structural substrate (12) having an inner and an outer surface;   (b) an outer layer (10) of a heat-sealable low density polyethylene polymer coated on said outer surface of said mechanically stable structural substrate;   (c) a polymer layer (14) which exhibits high strength, abuse resistance and toughness in combination with an oxygen barrier layer; and   (d) an inner product contact layer of low density polyethylene polymer which is heat-sealable, with the outer layer of low density polyethylene polymer (22) of the laminate, on conventional extrusion equipment at temperatures ranging from 250°F. to 500°F.

Abstract: A container (10) for heating a substance, e.g. food, in a microwave oven has a bottom (12) transparent to microwave energy. The container is supported on a stand (22) that contains one or more electrically conductive plates (32) (or apertures in an electrically conductive sheet) that generate at least one mode of microwave energy of higher order than the fundamental modes. The stand (22) also serves to support the container (10) above the higher order mode generating plates (or apertures) so that the undersurface of the substance is spaced from them by a uniform predetermined distance. The arrangement has the known features of "bottom heating", i.e. taking advantage of the natural heat flow in the substance, while achieving more uniform heating of the substance by virtue of the higher order mode or modes. As an alternative to or in addition to the generation of higher order modes, the stand may embody elements that modify the microwave pattern in a manner that enhances the coupling of microwave energy into the undersurface of the substance to be heated.

Abstract: A plurality of current transformers (CT₁ to CT n ) connected in series provide secondary winding sides respectively connected to lamps (L₁ to L n ). A constant-current source (2) is provided to supply constant current to these lamps. Each lamp is connected to the corresponding terminal unit (R₁ to R n ) including a short-circuit switch (22) for short-circuiting the secondary winding side of the transformer when the lamp is disconnected. A master station issues a request for detecting a disconnected lamp or checking whether or not failure occurs in the terminal unit to each terminal unit in the form of an instant power interruption. Each terminal unit has a proper identification time assigned thereto. In response to the request issued by the master station in the form of an instant power interruption, after the proper identification time for each terminal unit, the relevant terminal unit serves to turn off a short-circuit switch (22) for opening the secondary winding side of the transformer for a predetermined time or, during the proper identification time, the terminal unit serves to control the short-circuit switch on and off according to a predetermined code to respond to the request issued by the master station (7). In the master station (7), the constant-current source (2) reads the information from each terminal unit based on the waveform change of an output current and output voltage of the constant-current source (2) so as to determine whether or not each lamp is disconnected, where the disconnected lamp is located, whether or not each terminal unit fails, and where the failed terminal unit is located.
