Inventor: BERTHOLD KLAUS
IPC: B29C33/30
Filed: 2001-08-03
Abstract: The device for the manufacture of a blank has a receiving space (12) for the introduction of the material for casting to form the blank, and is bounded by a bottom (10) and side walls (3). The bottom is formed by a number of plungers (6) which are vertically adjustable independent of each other and which give a closed bottom surface. The plungers have guide rods (7) on their lower sections and these move longitudinally through holes (5) in a guide plate (4) installed beneath the plungers. An Independent claim is included for a procedure for the manufacture of a model component in which the vertical position of the plungers is adjusted to correspond to the desired inner and/or lateral contour of the component.

Abstract: The press section to extract water from a wet web (1), of paper or cardboard or tissue, has a press gap formed by two press rollers. The web is carried through the press gap between two blankets (2,3), and onwards on a path (11) as a sandwich. Both blankets have at least one belt drive (4) outside the roller press gap. The web press section has an extended roller press gap, in the direction (5) of web travel, preferably formed by a shoe press (6) and a cylindrical counter roller (7). At least one blanket is air permeable and absorbs water. The belt drive for each blanket is at blanket deflection rollers (8-10). After the sandwich path (11), the upper blanket (2) is detached from the web, and is preferably moved by a powered deflection roller. The other blanket (3), with the web on its outer surface, travels around a preferably powered deflection roller which also applies suction to the permeable and absorbent blanket or it is deflected by a fixed suction unit. The web is detached from the carrier blanket by a pick-up blanket (12), leaving the carrier blanket to pass around a further deflection roller. The carrier blanket travels at a faster speed after the roller press gap than when in front of it, up to 4% faster and preferably 0.1-0.3% faster. The draw tension on the web is higher after the roller press gap than when in front of it, up to 6 KN/m higher and preferably 0.2-1.2 KN/m higher. The belt drives are controlled according to the blanket tension and/or speed, with a minimizing action related to the loading on the web. The deflection roller which detaches the upper blanket from the web is rotated at a slower speed than the deflection roller which carries off the carrier blanket.

Filed: 2001-05-02
Abstract: A smoking article having reduced ignition propensity is disclosed. The
smoking article (10) includes a tobacco column (12), a wrapper (14)
surrounding the tobacco column and a filter element (16). The wrapper has
a base permeability, and untreated areas (20) alternating with discrete areas
(22) treated with a composition to reducing the base permeability. The
discretely treated areas (22) interact with a coal of a burning tobacco
firecone as it advances to self-extinguish the smoking article. The
composition of the treated areas includes a permeability reducing substance,
a burn rate retarding substance and a burn rate accelerating substance.
Either the burn rate retarding substance or the burn rate accelerating
substance acts as an organoleptic enhancing substance. In this way a
smoker's experience when smoking either the treated areas or the untreated
areas is substantially the same.

Filed: 2001-01-12
Abstract: A recording medium, computer and method of selecting computer display items are provided for making the selection and entry of items by pushing of a simple ON/OFF switch by a user into an easier-to-use interface for users. The recording medium has a processing program that moves items displayed on a screen depending on the output from a controller which senses a pushing pressure of a user on a control element of the controller. A computer includes that controller which has a pressure-sensitive unit for sensing the pushing pressure. The computer also has a unit for determining a movement distance in accordance with the sensed pressure sensed by the pressure-sensitive unit, and a unit for changing the display of the monitor based on the movement distance thus determined. A method of selecting computer display items uses the controller having the pressure-sensitive unit to sense the pushing pressure, determines a movement distance in accordance with the sensed pressure sensed by the pressure-sensitive unit, and changes the display of the monitor based upon that movement distance thus determined.
