  • Corrugating machine and corrugating roll design for the same
    Patent number: 6800052
    Abstract: A corrugating roll design for a corrugating machine including a pair of parallel, spaced apart, corrugating rolls which rotate in opposite directions on their respective rotational axes, the rotational axes being spaced apart a predetermined distance, and each of the corrugating rolls being formed along its outer peripheral surface with longitudinally extending teeth with tooth tips and tooth roots. Depressions are provided in the tops of the tooth tips of at least one of the corrugating rolls and spaced apart a predetermined distance along the length of the roll. Each of the depressions has a bottom surface which is located to establish a spacing between the bottom surface of the depression and the tooth root of the other corrugating roll at the actual corrugation impression zone in the nip, which spacing is greater than the thickness of the paper medium.

  • Solid-state laser apparatus excited by laser light from semiconductor laser unit having increased resonator length
    Patent number: 6795475
    Abstract: A semiconductor-laser-excited solid-state laser apparatus includes a solid-state laser element and a semiconductor laser unit including a resonator. The solid-state laser element is excited by light emitted from the semiconductor laser unit, and emits laser light. The resonator length in the semiconductor laser unit is arranged to be at least 0.8 mm, so as to reduce an amount of wavelength shift in light emitted from the semiconductor laser unit, and achieve a stable, high-power laser output from the semiconductor-laser-excited solid-state laser apparatus.

  • Light wavelength conversion module
    Patent number: 6775307
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light wavelength conversion module in which an output light amount of a light wavelength conversion element increases monotonically as a driving current of a semiconductor laser increases. The light wavelength conversion module includes the semiconductor laser having an external resonator provided with a narrow band-pass filter, and the light wavelength conversion element for converting a laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser to a second harmonic wave. A semiconductor laser, which emits a laser beam including a plurality of longitudinal mode spectra within an acceptable wavelength band of the light wavelength conversion element, is used in the light wavelength conversion module.

  • Method and system for preparing printed matter
    Patent number: 6765689
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for preparing printed matter. The method is particularly well-suited for the Internet. Herein, an account holder provides information related to a desired type of printed matter to a printer. The printer collects data from a user to complete a template, and from the completed template, a viewable proof of the printed matter is instantaneously provided to the user. If the viewable proof is approved by the user, the printed matter is ordered to be printed. If not approved, the user makes changes to the data provided to instantaneously generate a new viewable proof. The process is repeated until the printed matter is ordered to be printed.
