  • Publication number: 20190344530
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an at least two-layer biaxially oriented polyester film with at least one matt surface and with an increased coefficient of friction of this surface, with a total thickness from 8 to 75 ?m. The film of the invention has excellent suitability as an external ply of animal-feed bags with matt appearance which on stacking are not subject to slippage between the same.

  • Patent number: 10407926
    Abstract: A sealing plug has an elastic sleeve of thimble-like basic shape. A wound-up band of the sealing plug is inserted in the sleeve. The number of windings or turns of the band can be reduced by rotating the inner end of the band, wherein the outside diameter of the band, and hence the outside diameter of the elastic sleeve, widens. The band can be inserted in pretensioned state into the sleeve and can slacken after insertion into an anchor hole. The band can be expanded in the anchor hole beyond the slackened state of the band. The sealing plug further has a latching mechanism, which prevents back-rotation of the expanded sleeve. The sealing plug enables a radial expansion, and hence a sealing of anchor holes of different diameter, without shortening of the axial sealing surface of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 9852224
    Abstract: A method for promoting preferred content in a search query is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a search result set of content items from a corpus of content items, the search result set responsive to a search query and comprising a rank of the content items, identifying content items in the search result set, the identified content items comprising at least a preferred content item uploaded by a user, adjusting, by a processing device, a position of the preferred content item with respect to a position of a claimed content item in the rank of the content items within the search result set, the claimed content item claimed by the user.

  • Publication number: 20170296399
    Abstract: An elastomeric laminate is extensible in a first direction and has a first laminate surface; a second laminate surface substantially opposite the first laminate surface; and a laminate thickness, T, extending between the first and second laminate surfaces. A pre-SELFed coverstock layer forms the first laminate surface. The pre-SELF coverstock layer has a primary activation pattern, wherein the primary activation pattern includes SELF-specific land areas that extend in the first direction and one or more activation thicknesses. Each activation thickness is less than the laminate thickness, T. The elastomeric laminate also has an elastomeric layer joined to the pre-SELFed coverstock layer. The elastomeric layer forms the second laminate surface. The elastomeric laminate may be a zero strain laminate, a gathered laminate, or a hybrid gathered laminate.

  • Publication number: 20170291987
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer biaxially oriented polyester film comprising a base layer B, an amorphous outer layer A and a further outer layer C, where this polyester film is suitable for lamination with metal sheets. The invention in particular relates to a polyester film which comprises (based on the mass of polyester) from 2 to 15% by weight of isophthalate-derived units in the base layer and which comprises more than 19% by weight of isophthalate-derived units in the amorphous layer A, and which has a silane-based coating on the outer layer A. The invention further relates to a process for the production of these films.
