Patent number: 6126786Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating turbulence in stock to deflocculate the stock in an open surface forming section of a paper making machine comprises a dewatering box providing vacuum assisted drainage and which has a set of dewatering elements that impart turbulence into relatively thick stock layers carried at machine operating speeds of equal up to about 400 m/min, for the production of paper products having a basis weight generally in excess of about 160 gsm. Each set of elements includes a lead-in element, at least one intermediate element, and a trailing element. The path of the forming fabric is deflected downwardly as it passes over the intermediate elements, which are inclined at an angle of from about 0.25.degree. to about 10.degree. from a plane defined by forming fabric supporting surfaces on the lead-in and riser elements. This vertical movement initiates turbulence and agitation in the stock, which acts both to deflocculate the stock and to diminish the possibility of sheet sealing.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1999Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Inventors: James D. White, Douglas R. McPherson, Richard E. Pitt

Patent number: 5479815Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for efficiently measuring and analyzing volatile and relatively non-volatile flavor components released during oral processing of food or other products. The subject exhales a breath sample into one or more temperature-controlled collection chambers, preferably at predetermined time intervals during the oral processing of the product. Each breath sample is then purged from its collection chamber with a non-reactive gas flow into an adsorbent, absorbent or other trap containing an interface that separates and collects the volatile and relatively non-volatile components from the breath sample. The trap is then transferred to a thermal desorber to release the volatile and relatively non-volatile flavor components from the interface surface into a measuring and analysis apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1994Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignee: Kraft Foods, Inc.Inventors: James D. White, William R. Croasmun, Jane V. Leland
