Abstract:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine (10) with an integrated medical table top (12) on which a patient can lie, the table top (12) having a central polypropylene cellular honeycomb structure (18) thermally fused in a sandwich configuration between two fibre- reinforced polypropylene face sheets (20, 22). A strip (24) of fibre-reinforced polypropylene is thermally fused along the entire length of the edge of the sandwich layers and along the end sections of the strip so that the resultant package of layers and end strip is sealingly enclosed to form the tabletop (14). Table top (14) has a cover which may have a paint or acrylic finish, or may be foamed or "soft-touch" or suitably coated, in order to enhance the patient's comfort and to ensure that tabletop (14) is hard-wearing and readily cleanable.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a gypsum board forming device which provides improved slurry spread. The device includes a forming table with an arcuate or angled profile that promotes a uniform slurry spread. An arcuate or angled hinge plate can also be included to further promote the uniform distribution of slurry prior to an extrusion plate. As a result of the improved slurry spread, gypsum board with increased strength and durability can be created.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a panel with paper honeycomb cores, which is usable as a table top. The panel comprises a top panel, a bottom panel, paper honeycomb cores and a internal fixed part, in hich the paper honeycomb cores are filled in the closed space which is enclosed by the top panel and he bottom panel, and are fixed with the top panel and the bottom panel. The peripheries of the paper oneycomb cores are completely or partially surrounded by the internal fixed part, or the internal fixed art is installed in the suited position of the panel, and the internal fixed part serves as the stiffening art of the panel. The edge of the bottom panel and the lower edge of the top panel which is formed by ending the top panel downwards are cohered together, and the flection of the top panel forms the side edge of the panel. The top panel and the bottom panel may be formed by suction moulding process or ontour machining process directly. The panel having the structure described above can connect with other parts of the table.
Abstract:
A print producing apparatus of a print producing system is provided with a recording medium conveying section (71) which intermittently conveys a strip-like hologram recording medium (3), a cutting out section (72) which cuts out, as a piece of hologram recording medium, a predetermined region of the recording medium that includes at least a piece of a holographic stereogram image or a hologram from a hologram recording medium, a film retaining section and a film supplying section (74) which one by one provides plural sheets of protecting film PF which are retained, a film opening and closing section (75) which opens and folds a single sheet of the PF which has been folded in two along a folding line of the PF, a mounting retaining and supplying section (76) which one by one provides plural sheets of mountings, and a laminating section (77) which laminates the recording medium piece for hologram and the mounting with the PF.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an etching mask, characterized by covering the photosensitive resist layer (3), disposed on the surface (2) of a substrate (1), with a metallization layer (7) in order to heat it up so that after heating an etch-resisting photosensitive resist layer having discrete structures is available.
Abstract:
Method of forming a composite web structure (10a). A topsheet assembly (16) is formed by applying two webs of elastic material (40) onto two webs of topsheet material (16b) and folding each of the subsequent webs (134) about the elastic material (40) to create an assembly having elasticized leg cuffs (38). A first and second web of polymeric liner material (38a) are applied to first and second webs of the topsheet material (16b) adjacent to the elastic material (40) and folded to form a leg cuff (38). The topsheet assembly (10) is applied on a core assembly (100a) to create a first web structure assembly. A backsheet assembly (50) is formed including a backsheet material (18) and is applied on the first web structure assembly to form a second web structure assembly. The second web structure assembly is cut to form a composite web structure (10a) finishable to form a disposable absorbent garment (10).
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing tape tab stock that may be used to produce tape tabs (40) for use with disposable absorbent articles, as well as a method for manufacturing tape tab stock that can be produced on-line and concurrently with the disposable absorbent article to which the tape tabs (40) are joined. The first step in the process is to provide a backing substrate (52) upon which the adhesives of the tape tab can be applied. Once the backing is provided, a pressure sensitive adhesive (54) is applied to regions of one side of the backing substrate. The backing substrate (52) is then slit in a direction parallel to the machine direction and the release surface of a release substrate is placed in contact with the pressure sensitive adhesive (54), forming a laminate comprising the backing substrate (52) and the release substrate. The release substrate preferably covers the entire surface of the backing substrate (52) upon which pressure sensitive adhesive (54) has been applied. The surface of the laminate, including the surface of the release substrate that is not in contact with the pressure sensitive adhesive (54), and any of the backing substrate (52) not covered by the release substrate is then coated with a second adhesive for joining the tape tabs to the absorbent article. After the second adhesive is applied to the surface of the laminate, the laminate is slit in a direction parallel to the machine direction and either rewound for shipping or storage, or fed to a taper unit that is integrated into the absorbent article manufacturing line. The taper unit cuts individual tape tabs (40) and applies them to the absorbent article chassis.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for attaching an elastomeric film laminate web to the longitudinal side edges of an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin. The method involves using a system of different adhesive applying mechanisms (that is, glue guns) and different applications of adhesive in a spiral pattern to provide precise control over the pattern and the amount of adhesive applied to bond the web of material to the absorbent article. The method comprises applying a narrow spiral of adhesive to a first portion of the width of the web that is adjacent a first edge of the web; bringing the first portion of the web into contact with a first face of the sanitary napkin so that the remaining portion of the web extends outward beyond the edge of the sanitary napkin; applying a second narrow spiral of adhesive to a second portion of the width of the web adjacent the second edge of the same; folding the second portion of the width of the web onto the second face of the sanitary napkin to wrap the edge of the sanitary napkin; and securing the wrapped web to the sanitary napkin.
Abstract:
The area of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) require reliable, robust and durable reflectors capable of withstanding different environments, weather and transportation conditions. It is therefore important to use a method for fabricating a reflector which seals a reflector edge against moisture, corrosion and contaminants and protects the edge from cracks and damage. Embodiments of this method include depositing a clear sealant over the reflector edges, extending a reflective film over the edges of the reflector then sealing from the back and laminating a flexible strip of a clear polymer such as PVB and EVA around the top edge, a bottom edge, and all side edges of the reflector. Another embodiment includes performing hemming process on a front assembly of the reflector over the edges of a back assembly forming a sacrificial layer at the back of the reflector to prevent delamination.
