    摘要: Cigarettes are manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus. Those cigarettes possess smokable rods having paper wrapping materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The additive materials, which can have the forms of liquid or paste formulations (e.g., aqueous formulations incorporating starch or modified starch), are applied to a continuous paper web on the cigarette making apparatus. The formulation is applied to the paper web using application apparatus possessing rollers a series of roller. For example, additive material is applied to the roll face of a transfer roller due to roll interaction of that transfer roller with a pick-up roller; roll interaction of the transfer roller with an application roller causes transfer of the additive material from the transfer roller to the application roller; and additive material from the application roller is transferred to the paper web that passes between the application roller and a back-up roller. A radiant dryer is used to dry the additive material that has been applied to the paper web. The radiant dryer is located on one component of a two component assembly that is used to manufacture cigarettes. A first component of the two component assembly provides a source of paper web, applies additive material to that web in a pattern and dries the paper web; while a second component receives the paper web, supplies tobacco filler and manufactures a cigarette rod from the paper web and tobacco filler. An alternate assembly system provides a source of paper web, applies additive material to that web in a pattern, dries the paper web, and winds the treated paper web onto a bobbin; and that bobbin is later used to provide a source of paper web on a cigarette making machine unrolls that bobbin, receives the treated paper web from that bobbin, supplies tobacco filler and manufactures a cigarette rod from the paper web and tobacco filler. Spectrometric techniques are used to ensure proper registration of the additive material on the cigarette rods so manufactured, and to ensure proper quality of those cigarettes.

    摘要: Cigarettes are manufactured using modified automated cigarette making apparatus. Those cigarettes possess smokable rods having paper wrapping materials having additive materials applied thereto as patterns. The additive materials, which can have the forms of liquid or paste formulations (e.g., aqueous formulations incorporating starch or modified starch), are applied to a continuous paper web on the cigarette making apparatus. The formulation is applied to the paper web using application apparatus possessing rollers, and one of those rollers has a series of pockets in its roll face to receive additive formulation from a reservoir and to define the pattern of the formulation on the paper. For example, additive material located in the recessed pockets of a first roller is transferred in a controlled manner to the roll face of a second roller in roll contact with that first roller; and the additive material on the roll face of the second roller is transferred to desired locations on the surface of the paper web. The formulation also can be applied to a continuous moving paper web using an application apparatus possessing four rollers. For example, additive material is applied to the roll face of a transfer roller due to roll interaction of that transfer roller with a pick-up roller; roll interaction of the transfer roller with an application roller causes transfer of the additive material from the transfer roller to the application roller; and additive material from the application roller is transferred to the paper web that passes between the application roller and a back-up roller. A radiant dryer is used to dry the additive material that has been applied to the paper web. The radiant dryer is located on one component of a two component assembly that is used to manufacture cigarettes. A first component of the two component assembly provides a source of paper web, applies additive material to that web in a pattern and dries the paper web; while a second component receives the paper web, supplies tobacco filler and manufactures a cigarette rod from the paper web and tobacco filler.

    摘要: A hair control device for pools/spas and a method for using the same includes a grate disposable in the pump inlet of a pool/spa with a plurality of elongate flow channels extending between a first end of the grate and a second end of the grate. The elongate flow channels are isolated from one another so as to decrease turbulence and to prevent hair from tangling or knotting behind the grate in such a manner that a person's head is held under water. Preferably, the channels of the grate will be at least 18 inches long. The channels can be linear, or can be disposed in a helical pattern through the housing of the grate.

    摘要: A pressure regulating unit for providing two different controlled pressures includes a block made of a single piece of metal and having a mounting structure integrally provided thereon and a gas flow passage provided therein. A first regulator has a gas inlet communicating with a source of high-pressure gas having varying pressure and communicating with the gas flow passage. The first regulator is a step-down regulator for supplying a substantially constant pressure gas to second and third pressure regulators, enabling the second and third pressure regulators to be fixed at a predetermined, unmonitored pressure. At least the second and third regulators are supported on the mounting structure, and at least the second regulator has a gas inlet communicating with the flow passage. The second and third regulators provide the two pressures.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for preventing or inhibiting the vandalism of bridges and other like structures. The apparatus includes a slant plate device having an elongate plate which is positioned so as to extend downwardly and outwardly from a central position on the vertical wall of an I-beam to a position adjacent a far lateral edge of the bottom flange of the I-beam. The plate is sloped sufficiently to inhibit a person from standing on the lower flange of the I-beam while applying graffiti or otherwise vandalizing the bridge. Several different support and attachment structures are also disclosed. The method includes positioning the elongate plate at an angle and attaching the plate to some permanent structure associated with the I-beam.
