Abstract: A method of producing absorbent articles, comprising: suspending particles in a gas carrier to form suspended particles; creating a series of pulses from the suspended particles, wherein each pulse in the series of pulses is created by: accumulating at least some of the suspended particles in a pulsing chamber to form accumulated particles on a rotary separator, and releasing at least some of the accumulated particles by rotating the rotary separator to create each pulse; and suctioning each pulse from the series of pulses onto a forming surface for the absorbent articles.

Abstract: A method of producing an absorbent article, including: metering particles at a predetermined flow rate to form a metered particle stream; carrying the metered particle stream in a carrier flow to form a carried particle stream; pulsing the carried particle stream to form a pulsed particle stream; and transferring a pulse from the pulsed particle stream onto a forming surface of the absorbent article.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of and an apparatus for creating a pulsed stream of particles in a carrier means, such as air. A pre-metered stream of particles is accumulated in a pulsing chamber of a pulsing means by interrupting the stream of particles by a separator means, which interrupts the flow for a certain portion of the pulse period. The accumulated particles are then removed from the pulsing means by suction, such as by using an ejector.

Abstract: The electric lamp/reflector unit includes a reflector body (1) having a reflector portion (2) with a concave reflecting surface (3), and a neck-shaped portion (5), both surrounding an optical axis (4). The unit includes an electric lamp (10) which is provided with a lamp vessel (11) having a cavity (13) wherein an electric light source (14) is arranged. The cavity (13) is provided with an infrared-reflecting and visible light-transmitting coating (15). The electric lamp (10) has a first (23) and a second (24) end portion which are arranged opposite each other and provided with a seal, through which seals respective current conductors (23; 24) connected via embedded metal foils (17; 18) to the electric light source (14) issue from the lamp vessel (11) to the exterior.

Abstract: The reflector lamp unit has an electric lamp (10) mounted in a reflector body (1) having a neck (4). A metal sleeve (20) is present around the neck. The sleeve has outward projections (21) to provide grip to retention means of a lamp holder, and inward projections (22) which engage grooves (6) present in the neck. The free-end portion (5) of the neck (4) extends beyond the sleeve (20). The unit is of a simple construction, which nevertheless provides for a rigid coupling of the sleeve (20) to the reflector body (1) even with large tolerances as to the size of the neck (4). The unit, moreover, obviates the risk of short-circuiting the contact elements of a lampholder by the metal sleeve.
