Abstract: A production line and process including a moving carrier web for transporting the panel, and a device for controlling thickness of a formed, but not yet set, fiber reinforced cementitious panel slurry on the web. The thickness control device may include an angled rigid plate for contacting a downstream end of the angled plate with the slurry on the moving carrier web and a mounting stand for mounting the angled rigid. The thickness control device may include a flat horizontal plate at a fixed height over the moving carrier for contacting the entire lower surface of the horizontal plate with a facer on the slurry on the moving carrier web. Or, the thickness control device may include the angled plate and include the horizontal plate that contacts the facer.

Abstract: A wavelength selective laser system and associated method are provided that produce laser beams having wavelengths that are only slightly different, but that permit a composite return signal to be selectively processed in accordance with the wavelengths of the signals that comprise the composite return signal. The wavelength selective laser system includes first and second lasers for producing respective laser beams. Each of the first and second lasers define a nominal gain spectrum. However, the wavelength selective laser system also includes a magnetic field generator disposed about the second laser for altering the gain spectrum of the second laser such that the wavelengths of the laser beams produced by the first and second lasers differ by at least one part per million. As such, the first laser will emit signals having a first wavelength and the second laser will emit signals having a second wavelength.

Abstract: A fiber optic micro cable (10) includes a jacket (14) applied over a core (12) structure. The core (12) includes at least one optical fiber (20) positioned between longitudinally extending structural strength members (17), the strength members and the optical fibers being embedded in a buffer material (24). The strength members and the optical fibers are positioned in a common plane thereby resulting in a generally flat or rectangular shaped cable. The buffer material is selected to provide good adhesion with the jacket and to have a low modules of elasticity to distribute external forces applied to the cable. The jacket material is selected to have good adhesion to the buffer material and to be a tough and abrasion resistant material to further protect the cable core. The jacket is fabricated so that there is slightly more jacket material in the area of the strength members to thereby provide an external profile of the jacket with protrusions in the areas of the strength members.

Abstract: A washing-aid composition suitable for removal of stains and soil from delicate fabrics which are deleteriously affected by alkaline pH conditions which contains a phosphate ester surfactant, an alkali metal salt of an aminopolyacetic acid in an amount sufficient to essentially neutralize the surfactant to a pH of about 7, a water miscible organic solvent in an amount sufficient to solubilize organic borne stains and dirt, and water in an amount sufficient to solubilize the aminopolyacetic acid salt.

Abstract: A combination including a packet having a space therein containing a tablet formed of a solid fabric softener composition which is partially water soluble. The packet is formed from a pair of flexible porous open-celled sheets which are joined together in face-to-face relation. A flexible opening formed in the packet leads to the space defined between the pair of flexible porous open-celled sheets. The opening has a normally closed position when the sheets which form the packet are in their expanded condition. However, the opening is expandable to an open position by squeezing the sides of the packet in a direction along the axis of the opening.The sheets forming the packet have a thickness that is sufficient to reduce flow of water through the sheets to a level which prevents complete solution of the tablet during a single use while, however, permitting partial solution of the tablet with migration of dissolved fabric softener composition from the interior to the exterior of the packet.
