IPC: C08G69/44
Filed: 1989-07-06
Abstract: ink compositions which are useful for printing or otherwise coating onto substrates, and are comprised of aqueous systems of (1) linear, water-dissipatable or dispersible, cross-linkable polyester or polyester-amide material, and (2) essentially water insoluble, particulate material such as disperse dyes, pigments, fillers, brightening agents, ultraviolet absorbers, stabilizers, and various organic compounds having such uses as pesticides or the like. These compositions can be used, for example, as printing inks on substrates such as paper, aluminum, plastics, and glass. Subsequent cross-linking, i.e., curing of the coatings by radiation, heat electron beam or other energy sources, imparts thereto excellent adhesion, water-fastness, gloss, scuff resistance, flexibility, lightfastness or the like on various substrates. These compositions, particularly the printing inks, also have little or no odor which is associated with most cross-linkable ink systems, and since the inks are water-based, they are substantially non-polluting.

Abstract: Control apparatus having two-fault tolerance for two position, motor operated actuators includes electronic circuitry for disconnection of the power return to the actuator motor armature thereby insuring that the motor will not be activated upon an inadvertent connection of power to either motor power input, and for indication of disconnection thereto. Test means determine the operational status of a motor relay and also determine inadvertent applications of power to the one of the pair of motor power inputs that is not connected to the power source through the position switch and one of the pair of limit switches. A relay and motor indicating means are operable to indicate either motor operation or inadvertent power interruptions in the one of the pair of motor power inputs most recently connected to the power source through the position switch and one of the pair of limit switches.

Filed: 1989-03-30
Abstract: A curd and whey mixture is drained of loose whey on a conveyor and the dry curd fed into the top of a tubular perforated column (4) maintained under sub-atmospheric pressure to form a pillar of curd. A mass of curd severed from the lower end of the pillar is deposited in a mould (14) mounted on a turntable (13) rotatable to index the mould in succession at six pressing stations at each of which the curd is compressed for 45-120 seconds at a pressure of at least 4 bar in order to form a block of cheese with a rind firm enough to permit handling of the cheese block after ejection from the mould. At the first pressing station the curd is subjected to a sub-atmospheric pressure of -0.9 to -1.0 bar prior to compression. After the cheese block is ejected from the mould, the turntable returns the empty mould to the column for reception of another mass of curd.
