Title: Carton blank with inner liner for liquids or greasy products
Inventor: MANN PETER
IPC: B31B1/26
Filed: 2012-11-22
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a lined folding carton is provided for use primarily as packaging or as containers for liquids and moist, wet and high-fat greasy products. The method comprises providing a cut and creased and/or scored blank 2 and a predetermined length of a layflat tubing 16. One or more patches of adhesive 18, 18A are applied to parts of the blank adapted to form at least a first of opposing first and second sides of the carton when erected. Thereafter, either one side of the length of layflat tubing is adhered to one or more of the patches of adhesive on at least that part of the blank adapted to form said first side of the carton and one or more further patches of adhesive are applied on parts of the blank adapted to form at least the second side of the carton when erected or vice versa. A part of the blank adapted to form the second side of the carton is then folded over to oppose the first side and adhered either directly or indirectly to an opposite side of the layflat tubing. Edges of the blank are then secured together to form a folded carton. When such a folded carton is erected, the fact that opposite sides of the layflat tubing are adhered directly or indirectly to opposing sides of the carton means that the tube opens out and forms a lining for the carton. If the layflat tubing is impervious the method enables folding cartons to be manufactured in the form of a liquid-tight cup or similar container.

With shoes already in the bag 4, air and water vapour can be sucked out of the bag 4 via a sealable hole (412, figs 10 & 11). The desiccant unit 5 can be inserted through the hole (412, figs 10 & 11), before the hole is sealed by an airtight member (46, figs 10 & 11). The bag 4 may be waterproof or biodegradable, e.g. polyactic acid (PVA). A divider (6, fig 6) may prevent mutual abrasion of the shoes.

Title: Weighing system for a front-end-loading waste-hauling vehicle
Inventor: O'RIORDAN GARY
IPC: B65F3/02
Filed: 2015-04-29
Abstract: An extensometer 10 secured to the arms 2 of a front end loading waste vehicle 1 by two mounts. It detects deformation of the arm from which the mass being lifted or lowered is calculated. This enables the net weight of waste in a container to be calculated by subtracting the containers weight when empty from its weight when full. Data from a tilt sensor and GPS can also be recorded when emptying a refuse receptacle. The arm is ideally horizontal when down and multiple extensometers are mounted on each, on opposed upper and lower surfaces and/or spaced apart longitudinally. A jig can be used to mount the extensometers in appropriate places. The mounts can be initially different parts of a single body which is cut after mounting to separate them. The extensometer can be secured by bolts with locking washers or adhesive. The extensometer can include two materials of different hardnesses so that one makes an impression in the other corresponding to the zero tolerance position.

Title: Compressed air supplying device of a sewing machine
Inventor: EIICHI SHOMURA
IPC: D05B87/00
Filed: 2015-05-15
Abstract: A compressed air supplying device of a sewing machine includes an air pump unit including a piston 4 biased by a biasing portion, preferably a spring 17, in an air exhaust direction. An operating member, such as a lever 20, can move the piston only in an air intake direction. A force transmitting mechanism 21 transmits motion of the operating member 20 to the piston in only an air intake direction against the bias. The force transmission mechanism preferably comprises a ratchet arrangement between a cam 21 and the lever 20. As the cam is rotated by the lever 20 it rotates, via arm 18, shaft 14 and connected piston driving arm 16, to tension spring 17, and piston crank 13 to perform an intake stroke. Once the end of arm 18 passes the cam peak the shaft 14 is forced to return by spring 17 to rotate crank 13 to force a piston compression stroke. The pump may alternatively be driven via an electric motor. The compressor may be used to thread loopers in an overlock sewing machine

Title: Local layer geometry engine with work zone generated from buffer defined relative to a wellbore trajectory
Inventor: JOAN ABADIE
IPC: G01V99/00
Filed: 2015-11-03
Abstract: A method utilizes a buffer defined relative to a wellbore trajectory to generate a work zone around a wellbore for use in connection with formation modeling. A closed curve such as a non-rectangular, polygonal work zone may be defined around a wellbore based upon a buffer that extends generally transverse to the trajectory of a length of a wellbore a predetermined distance. The predetermined distance may correspond to a range of a sensor used to collect sensor data. The work zone is populated using the sensor data to visualise the subsurface formation. In addition, boundaries may be defined in a work zone to effectively split the work zone into multiple closed curves or polygons in response to user editing, e.g., to create one or more subsurface layers in the work zone. In such instances, points defining a subsurface layer may be shared by adjacent layers such that editing of such points will affect each of the layers sharing such points.
