Patent number: 11068827Abstract: Provided is a manner of determining a performance indicator score for an entity. A method includes identifying a set of result indicators that contribute to a target result for a defined process. The set of result indicators include a first result indicator, a second result indicator, and a third result indicator. The method also includes determining a first score for the first result indicator, a second score for the second result indicator, and a third score for the third result indicator. Further, the method includes applying a first weight to the first score, a second weight to the second score, and a third weight to the third score. A master performance indicator score is determined based on a combination of the first score, the second score, and the third score as a function of the first weight, the second weight, and the third weight.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.Inventors: Ralph H.

Publication number: 20200116620Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for measuring disintegration of a fibrous product. The method comprises disintegration of a sample of the fibrous product in an aqueous solution, optionally promoted by mechanical energy, passing the aqueous solution through a screen to obtain a permeate and retained fraction on the screen, and analyzing at least one parameter from the permeate for example by a gravimetric analysis, an optical analysis, an electrochemical analysis, a volumetric analysis, or combination thereof. Advantages include adjustability, speed, and high correlation with actual flushability or repulpability of the fibrous product, and utility in a process for manufacturing a fibrous sheet exhibiting controlled disintegration, such as a flushable or repulpable fibrous sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2018Publication date: April 16, 2020Applicant: Kemira OyjInventors: Clayton Campbell, Jennifer RISER, Kristin WITTICH, Frank ZIMMERMANN

Patent number: 9816977Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for detecting free fiber ends in a paper surface. The method comprises illuminating a target sample (6) surface, which comprises free fiber ends, from at least two directions one at the time, with at least one light source (1). Original reflectance images are obtained for the target sample (6) surface with an imaging device (4), and a surface normal is estimated for each image pixel of the original reflectance image. Thus it is possible to reconstruct a reconstructed reflectance image from the estimated surface normals, and to compare the reconstructed reflectance image and the corresponding original reflectance image and to construct a difference image, where the differences represent shadow objects of the free fiber ends in a paper surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: KEMIRA OYJInventors: Jukka-Pekka Raunio, Mikko Makinen, Henry Skoog, Clayton Campbell
