Abstract:
An operating room filter system connectable to a surgical body gas evacuator, such as a trocar, that includes a carbon monoxide filter media that removes carbon monoxide from a surgical waste gas. In addition, the inclusion of further filter media upstream of the carbon monoxide filter media inhibits the saturation of the carbon monoxide filter media to thereby provide an extended life to the filtration system.
Abstract:
An apparatus for producing a deep-nested embossed product including a first embossing member and a second embossing member. The first embossing member has a plurality of discrete embossing elements disposed in a first non-random pattern. The second embossing member has a plurality of second embossing elements including at least one linear embossing element. The second embossing elements are disposed in a second non-random pattern such the first non-random pattern and the second non-random pattern nest together to a depth of greater than about 0.01 mm.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to processes for producing a deep-nested embossed paper products. The invention relates to a process for producing a deep-nested embossed paper products comprising one or more plies of paper where the resulting embossed ply or plies of paper comprise a plurality of embossments having an average embossment height of at least about 650 μm and have a high finished product wet burst strength relative to the unembossed wet strength. The present invention relates to a process for producing deep-nested embossed paper products comprising the steps of a) delivering one or more plies of paper to a deep-nested embossing process, b) conditioning the one or more plies of paper, wherein the conditioning step comprises heating the one or more plies of paper, adding moisture to the one or more plies of paper, or both heating and adding moisture to the one or more plies of paper, and c) embossing the one or more plies of the paper where the resulting embossed ply or plies of paper comprise a plurality of embossments having an average embossment height of at least about 650 μm.
Abstract:
An apparatus for producing an embossed product including a first embossing member having a plurality of discrete embossing elements disposed in a first non-random pattern having at least one first single pattern unit. The total area of the distal ends of the discrete embossing elements in the first single pattern unit is less than about 5.0 cm2. The apparatus also includes a second embossing member having a plurality of linear embossing elements disposed in a second non-random pattern having at least one second single pattern unit. The total area of the second distal ends in the second single pattern unit is less than about 10 cm2. The second non-random pattern is coordinated with the first non-random pattern such that when engaged with each other the first single pattern unit and the second single pattern unit make up an embossing pattern single pattern unit.

Abstract:
A method for producing a multi-ply embossed product including the steps of: providing two or more plies of material to a lamination apparatus, each ply having a lamination surface; laminating one ply of the two or more plies of material to at least one other of the two or more plies of material to provide a laminated web having a first lamination pattern; directing the laminated web to a separate embossing apparatus; and embossing the laminated web in a second pattern to provide an embossed web, wherein the embossing step takes place after the laminated web is laminated.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for remotely monitoring wild animals in their natural habitat, having a remote monitoring device that is attached to a subject animal, the remote monitoring device having various components such as a video camera, a temperature sensor, a microphone, and a transmitter to wirelessly transmit gathered data to a base station to give scientists a better way to observe the subject animals' behavior in its natural environment with minimal human disturbance.
