  • Patent number: 6447861
    Abstract: A faery adhesive tape is a transparent or translucent membrane substrate with constant width that is back-coated with glue, and multiple reels are produced and used as a tape. While producing multiple reels, the topic related describing intrigue is printed or tape-fitted at suitable interval on the substrate. The intrigue of said topic is expressed by segment with designs, letters, or excellent pictures and literary composition. Depending on the seriatim torn away of the adhesive tape, it will gradually deepen into the intrigue or gradually disclose the solution, build up the interesting effect of the expectation and pleasant surprise of users, and thus widen the scope of usage of the adhesive tape.

  • Patent number: 5206525
    Abstract: An electric element of the present invention comprises a .pi.-conjugated macromolecular material which is liable to increase its conductivity by its excitation due to dielectric polarization, and a ferroelectric material disposed in the close proximity of said .pi.-conjugated macromolecular material so that polarization of said ferroelectric material in the presence of an electric field causes excitation of said .pi.-conjugated macromolecular material, thereby changing the conductivity of said .pi.-conjugated macromolecular material correspondingly with the strength of said electric field and resultantly controlling said conductivity. The electric element can be used as a d.c. or a.c. relay element, memory element, switching element, or any other active element.

  • Patent number: 5192438
    Abstract: An apparatus for screening pulp comprises a vessel, a cylindrical screen within the vessel, a rotor moving in the vicinity of the screen at a predetermined speed, an inlet for the unscreened pulp, an outlet for the screened pulp in the vessel. The rotor is non-cylindrical, for instance, elliptical, triangular, and in general, is multi-cam. The rotor has a contour surface which is achieved by attaching bars of the contoured shape to the surface of the rotor, for instance by welding. According to one embodiment, the contour surface of the rotor is discontinuous. The bars form a plurality of spaced protrusions instead of a single protrusion along the entire axial length of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 4554052
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a web wherein a fiber suspension from a head box is fed on a section of a forming wire formed by a first, substantially horizontal dewatering zone, and where the web being formed is thereafter led to a second dewatering zone where an upper wire is caused to cover said web, and both wires together with the web between them are led over a turning member. In the twin wire dewatering zone the wires bend upwards. After the turning member the web runs further linearly between the wires obliquely upwards. The web and the lower wire run around a pick-up suction roll and the upper wire leaves the web. The dewatering in the dewatering zones occurs only in one direction, i.e. through the forming wire.
