  • Patent number: 7279074
    Abstract: The invention refers to a paper machine clothing, in particular a forming wire or dryer felt, having a paper side and a machine side, the paper side being constituted by plastic elements (1, 11, 21, 31), for example in the form of a belt layer, yarns, coils or planar element rods, or the like, the plastic elements being equipped, at least on the surfaces constituting the paper side, with an anti-adhesive coating (5, 6, 14, 15, 24, 25, 34, 35) whose adhesion is less than the adhesion of the material of which the plastic elements (1, 11, 21, 31) are substantially made, which is characterized in that the plastic elements (1, 11, 21, 31) have, at least on the paper side, depressions (3, 4, 12, 13, 22, 23, 32, 33) into which anti-adhesive coating (5, 6, 14, 15, 24, 25, 34, 35) is incorporated.

  • Patent number: 7025095
    Abstract: The invention refers to a paper machine clothing (1) having a support (2) made of at least two support plies (3, 4) which each comprise longitudinal and transverse yarns (5, 6, 7, 8) but are essentially not connected to one another via their surface by means of yarns. Seam loops (11, 12) comprising longitudinal yarns (7, 8) connect the ends (9, 10) to form a seam by means of a pintle wire (14) slid through the seam loops (11, 12), project at the front ends (9, 10) of the paper machine clothing (1). The paper machine clothing according to the present invention is characterized in that the support plies (3, 4) are connected to one another via binding transverse yarns (15 through 20) whose arrangement is confined to the region of the two ends (9, 10) of the paper machine clothing (1) adjacent to the seam loops (11, 12).

  • Patent number: 6813503
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a wireless communication terminal for accessing location information from at least one server. The terminal comprising a receiver and a transmitter arranged to receive and transmit data packets from/to at least one server comprising location means, through a wireless communication network connected to linking means. The linking means is arranged to forward the data packets between the terminal and the server. A memory is also provided in the terminal, which comprises at least one item, which is provided with an access point which indicates the site of the server to be accessed, wherein the server is accessed by sending a request through the wireless communication network as a data packet comprising the access point to the linking means to access and receive content from the server. A browser application is arranged in the terminal, to establish a session to the linking means.

  • Patent number: 6328079
    Abstract: The invention is a seam for joining opposed ends of a belt for recirculation in machines. The seam comprises a reinforcing wire and at least two elongated coupling elements, each of which extends in the transverse belt direction. Each of the coupling elements comprises first and second sides and a row of coupling loops along the first side. The reinforcing wire extends through one of the coupling elements adjacent the second side. Coupling loops of two adjacent coupling elements are cooperable in such that they may be overlapped to result in a passthrough channel extending in the transverse belt direction and through which a coupling wire can be inserted. Each of the coupling elements is configured as a tubular coupling sleeve having cutouts. The cutouts are configured complementarily to the coupling loops such that coupling loops of one coupling element of a pair of adjacent coupling sleeves fit into cutouts of another coupling element of the pair of adjacent coupling elements.
