摘要:
A stationary working surface of a one roll microcreper member is of plastic resin having low wear and friction properties. As a primary pressing member subject to concentrated force it is 0.040 inch thick. One or both opposed retarder members of a bladed microcreper are of the plastic. Thermoplastics meeting wear and friction limits, e.g. ultra high density polyethylene, are employed. Primary extensions, some having openings, slots or holes serve as flexible retarders to engage treated material. By a load-spreading surface, the thermoplastic primary member is restrained without distortion. By this surface being linear it slideably inserts into a mounting. By this surface being parallel to the roll axis the primary member is free for cross-machine thermal expansion. A primary member shown is sheet form, mounted between sheet metal members, one with a restraint surface. Sheet materials of polyolefins, wood pulp, etc. are dry microcreped at improved rates and materials not heretofore capable of being processed can now be processed.

The invention relates to a method of sorting coins according to predetermined information and allowing the coins to pass to a required outlet in accordance with the predetermined information, including the steps of: (a) detecting the presence of a leading edge portion of a coin falling into a free fall reference path above the outlets; and either (b) if the predetermined information indicates the coin-token is to be allowed to be accepted: (i) energising a solenoid to withdraw a separator from the reference path at a location above the outlets to allow the coin to free-fall towards and into the acceptance outlet; (ii) maintaining the solenoid energised, and thus the separator withdrawn from the reference path, for a predetermined period of time; (iii) resetting the predetermined time if the predetermined information indicates a following coin is also to be accepted; and (iv) de-energising the solenoid at the expiry of the predetermined period of time to allow the separator to move into the reference path; or (c) if the predetermined information indicates the coin is to be rejected: (i) maintaining the separator in the reference path at a location above the outlets to deflect a leading edge portion of the coin to direct the coin towards and into the reject outlet; or (ii) de-energising the solenoid to allow the separator to move into the reference path above the outlets to deflect the leading edge portion of the coin to direct the coin towards and into the reject outlet.

Wet wipe products are made from continuous wet wiping web material having thermoplastic fibers of type, concentration and dispersion capable of being heat-set to set the overall web material in a reformed shape. A succession of ridges and grooves is formed by passing the performed material through a dry creper apparatus in absence of adhesives, the action characterized by pressing the material with a stationary pressing surface to engage an advancing drive surface, the driven material bodily collapsing into a succession of adjacent ridges and grooves that increase the volume of the material. The wet wiping material is heat set in the ridge and groove configuration, enabling the ridge and groove configuration to be preserved when the wet wiping material is wetted and when squeezed and released. The self-restoring ridge and groove configuration provides stress concentrating edges and improves liquid delivery and wet wiping in a number of respects.

Amplitude noise is dramatically reduced in an optically pumped modelocked laser arrangement by incorporating an intra-cavity or external cavity mode selection element with a continuous-wave pump laser coupled optically to a modelocked laser. The mode selection element causes a light beam generated from the pump laser to operate nominally at a single frequency, that is, substantially a single longitudinal mode. Mode selection may be realized with an air-spaced or solid material Fabry-Perot etalon.

An antimicrobial composition which includes silver as the antimicrobial agent also includes a hydratable or hydrated oxide as a promoter to enhance the antimicrobial effect. Such compositions may be used to coat appliances such as catheters or may be incorporated in bone cements.

A security module for use in an electronic funds transfer terminal is contained in a tamper-resistant housing. The module has a PIN pad and is designed to encrypt secret data, such as users personal identity numbers (PINs), so that other terminal processes cannot gain access to it. The encryption functions are carried out in a security controller which includes its own microprocessor and encryption/decryption unit.

An air curtain arrangement and method of operating the arrangement are provided. The arrangement includes at least one air curtain unit having a supply plenum, a return air duct, and an intermediate air duct therebetween and separates relatively warm and cold areas. The air curtain discharges an air stream across a doorway from an outlet aperture of a discharge plenum toward an air return duct, at a discharge angle. A portion of the air stream is received at an inlet aperture of the return air duct. The portion of the air stream that is received at the air return duct is monitored. The discharge angle is adjusted to maximize the portion of the air that is received. One embodiment controls the discharge angle based on the temperature of the received portion of the air stream. Another embodiment senses the force of the air stream received proximate the inlet aperture.

A conditioned vestibule for a cold storage doorway is disclosed. The vestibule includes a frame that supports inner and outer moveable door-forming members. The vestibule also includes a heater that circulates air between the inner and outer door-forming members and a variable-speed fan that varies flow of the air between the inner and outer door-forming members. In one embodiment, the airflow from the fan increases upon the opening of the door-forming members and decreases upon the closing of the door-forming members.

The invention relates to a coin/token separator comprising:(a) an inlet through which coins/tokens (C) pass;(b) at least two outlets (29, 30) to receive separated coin/tokens (C); and(c) a separator interposed between (a) and (b) including:(i) an arm (21) pivotable on a floating pivot (28) and movable between a first position in which the coin/token is directed towards one of the outlets (28) and a second position in which the coin/token (C) passes to another of the outlets (30), the arm (21) being normally biased into the first position; and(ii) a solenoid (18) actuated by a signal to move the arm (21) from the first position to the second position.
