Patent number: 11590410Abstract: It is suggested to provide a line marking device having a GNSS receiver or prism for a robotic total station. The line marking device further has at least one spray nozzle and a comparator adapted to compare a detected location to a predetermined pattern. The comparator calculates a location and/or a direction error. Further the line marking device has a prompting device for providing steering information to a user. The provided information is the location and/or direction error. The at least one spray nozzle and the GNSS receiver or the prism are in a fixed spatial relation to a connecting element, which is connected or connectable to an unmovable receiving element of a cart.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: SWOZI AGInventors: Peter James Roberts, Aleksander Valdis Velde, Donald John Hill, Brendan Paul McCarthy, Mathias Wäckerlin, Patrick Specker, Mario Hutter

Patent number: 11548258Abstract: The novel tissue products of the present invention are generally produced by calendering a tissue basesheet using at least one patterned roll. In one embodiment the patterned roll replaces the flat steel roll commonly used in calendering. The elements on the patterned roll provide a means of providing a nip having variable loading that yields a web having a smooth surface without subjecting the web to excessive compression forces and preventing excessive caliper loss. Thus, webs converted according to the present invention have comparable or better surface smoothness compared to webs converted using conventional calendering means and also retain a greater percentage of their caliper and bulk.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: KIMBERLY-CLARK WORLDWIDE, INC.Inventors: Donald John Slayton, Samuel August Nelson
