Title: Method for measuring the tensile stress of a running web
Inventor: WERBER RUDOLF
IPC: B65H26/04
Filed: 2007-12-14
Abstract: In a method of measuring the tensile stressing of a moving web, force transducers (7) in the form of a Wheatstone bridge (11) are connected up. An amplifier (18) amplifies a diagonal voltage (17) of the Wheatstone bridge (11). In order for it to be possible to detect whether at least one of the force transducers (7) is defective, the Wheatstone bridge (11) can be loaded by means of at least one resistance (26) by way of at least one switch (24, 25). Comparing the measured values for the loaded state with those for the non-loaded state determines whether the force transducers (7) of the Wheatstone bridge (11) are capable of functioning.

Title: Method for producing ethanol from steam exploded sweet potato by fermentation
Inventor: FU XIAOGUO
IPC: C12P7/06
Filed: 2009-03-25
Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing ethanol from steam exploded sweet potato by fermentation which includes the steps of: 1) subjecting sweet potato to a steam explosion treatment; 2) subjecting the sweet potato after the steam explosion to saccharification and fermentation; and 3) collecting ethanol produced by the fermentation. In the invention, sweet potato is subjected to a pre-treatment utilizing a short-time, low-pressure steam explosion technology, which omits the long-time cooking process for the starch-based raw material and reduces the energy consumption for producing ethanol by fermentation; and because the steam explosion treated sweet potato is subjected directly to saccharification and solid-state fermentation, the water content in fermentation mash is reduced greatly so as to increase the concentration of ethanol in fermentation mash, reduce the energy consumption for distillation, reduce the subsequent treatment steps for the waste water and lower the producing cost, which is beneficial to the comprehensive utilization of sweet potato.

IPC: B23K9/028
Filed: 2009-10-14
Abstract: The formation of a bellows made up of a stack of a predetermined number of ring-convolutions and having an intermediate plate supported within said stack is achieved by supplying several thin metal rings, each having inner and outer edges. A pair of these metal rings are positioned in contiguous relationship and their adjacent inside edges are welded together to form a ring-convolution.  This process is repeated until a sufficient number of ring-convolutions are made to eventually make the desired bellows. Before these separate ring-convolutions are fused to each other, an intermediate plate and a support ring are made.  The intermediate plate is a disc of metal that is sized smaller than the inside diameter of the rings and is secured to the support ring. The support ring is then positioned between two formed ring-convolutions in contiguous relationship and the three abutting outside edges are welded to each other to form a support plate convolution. The already made ring-convolutions and the support plate convolution are then stacked in the desired order and in contiguous relationship.  All not-yet welded adjacent outside edges of said ring-convolutions and said support plate convolution are then welded to form the bellows. A bottom plate is formed and welded to the outside edge of the bottommost ring-convolution and a top ring is finally welded to the uppermost convolution to complete the bellows.  The top ring is meant to be welded to a base plate of an infusion pump.
