There are components that drive the carriage in translation in a third direction that is perpendicular to the first and second directions. Other components make it possible to drive the cradle relative to the carriage in rotation about a first axis that is parallel to the first direction.

The device also includes an element for starting and stopping the detection of the motion of the operator by the sensor (16).

Abstract: A hot stamping machine including a stamping member which presses a stamping foil against a peripheral surface of articles which are successively positioned in a stamping position and wherein stamping foil is removed from an unwinding mechanism for each stamping sequence and passes in succession into a suction box, along a braking surface and opposite the stamping member that urges the foil against an article, and wherein a reserve of foil is available in the suction box between the unwinding means and the braking surface, while the foil is tensioned between the stamping member and the article, during stamping of the article, and between the braking surface and a rewinding mechanism.

Abstract: This machine for marking hollow parts comprises a marking member designed to be on contact in at least one line of tangency with a hollow part for it to be marked, and a first and a second mandrel capable of supporting respectively a first part to be marked and a second part previously marked. A control camera is placed at a focal length from the marked surface of the second part. The first mandrel is capable of moving the first part relative to the marking member and the movement of the second mandrel is slaved and identical to that of the first mandrel. The camera is capable of moving parallel to, and in synchronism with, the line of tangency between the marking member and the first part.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dewatering a wet web wherein the water is withdrawn from the web via capillary action of the pores of a thin porous membrane component of a bi-component filtration medium and transferred to a plurality of reservoirs defined in a second component of the medium from whence the water is withdrawn and directed to a collector or disposal site.

Abstract: A novel filtration medium, preferably of the closed loop belt type, comprising a woven substrate which is overlaid by a disparate layer comprising a plurality of individual thermoplastic resin particulates which are controllably spaced apart from one another and bonded at fixed spaced apart locations to one to another and to the strands of the woven substrate. These resin particulates serve to define the pore structure and pore size for the medium. A method for the manufacture of the filtration medium is disclosed.

Abstract: These and other objects are satisfied by the present invention, which as a first aspect provides a cementitious composition with non-stick properties. The composition comprises a calcium aluminate cement matrix, a mineral filler, a polymer binding agent, and a fluoropolymer. The composition may optionally include other components which enhance certain mechanical, chemical, or processing characteristics of the composition, such as hardeners, defoamers, lubricants, accelerators, reaction inhibitors, suspension agents, and heat transfer enhancers.

Abstract: A novel cementitious composition based on calcium aluminate and suitable for use in molds is provided. The composition comprises a calcium aluminate powder base, at least one particulate inorganic filler, a latex binding agent chemically compatible with said calcium aluminate powder, at least one dispersing agent, an initiator which initiates the binding of said calcium aluminate powder to said inorganic filler at pH values between 6.5 and 8.0, at least one surface hardness agent comprising an alkyl-aryl sulfonate compound or salt thereof or an aryl sulfonate compound or salt thereof, a polymer salt surface gloss agent, and at least one metal or non-metal oxide wetting agent.

Abstract: System for separating solids from slurry containing a separable solid in a liquid carrier, such as an industrial waste. The slurry is flowed into a separation chamber positioned over a slower moving foraminous medium to effect cross-flow separation of liquid from the slurry in an initial stage and followed by separation of solids from the slurry in a second stage all the separation being effected employing a single forwardly moving filtration medium. The flow rate of liquid, the rate of travel of the foraminous medium, and the differential pressure across the foraminous medium, as established by the pressure exerted by the flowing liquid on the foraminous medium and the relative pressure underneath the foraminous medium, are controlled at different locations along the length of the separation chamber to provide optimum steady-state separation for a given waste stream.

Abstract: A filtration medium especially useful in cross-flow type filtration systems comprising a length of porous strong substrate, preferably woven, and a thin porous membrane, such membrane being bonded to the strands of the substrate by islands of resin uniformly spaced apart and disposed generally between the substrate and the membrane. The islands of resin enhance the integrity of the composite during its use in a filtration system. A method and apparatus for the manufacture of the filtration medium is disclosed.
