Abstract: The present invention relates to a process to make continuous strand polymer comprising the following steps: a) providing a monomer mixture comprising water, a monomer, a crosslinker and an initiator; b) transporting the monomer mixture of step a) into a confining means wherein the monomer mixture is confined in said confining means; c) initiating polymerization of the monomer mixture in the confining means to make a continuous strand polymer; and d) emitting the continuous strand polymer from the confining means wherein the continuous strand polymer has a defined cross-sectional profile comprising an initial cross sectional diameter of at least 0.1 mm. The present invention is further directed to a process of making a continuous strand superabsorbent polymer.

Abstract: A handling device for a transmission includes a first pillar, a second pillar, a first receptacle for the transmission and a second receptacle for the transmission, and a first rail and a second rail. The first receptacle is fixed in the first pillar so as to be rotatable and translationally displaceable. The second receptacle is fixed in the second pillar so as to be rotatable and translationally displaceable in parallel to the first receptacle. The first pillar is fixed in the first rail so as to be translationally displaceable. The second pillar is translationally displaceable in the second rail in parallel to the first pillar. The axes of rotation of the receptacles are aligned or oriented such that they can be brought into alignment by displacing the first receptacle, the second receptacle, the first pillar and/or the second pillar.

Abstract: A method for checking the maintenance of register of printing images to be printed on two opposite sides of a printing material, in which the first side of the printing material is printed in a rotary printing press by a first printing unit cylinder, and in which the second side of the printing material, which lies opposite to first cite, is printed in the printing press by a second printing unit cylinder which interacts with the first printing unit cylinder. A printed image is printed by the first printing unit cylinder under the second printing unit cylinder. Afterwards, the printing material is printed in contact with the two interacting printing unit cylinders with the printing image, which is printed under the second printing unit cylinder, being printed onto the same side of the printing material together with an identical or a different printing image which is to be printed by the second printing unit cylinder during continuous printing of the rotary printing press.
