  • Patent number: 10344864
    Abstract: A suction roll assembly for sealing at least one negative or positive pressure zone which adjoins a surface of the roll which is perforated and moves in a movement direction in a machine for making paper, tissue or cardboard, has at least one sealing element which lies opposite the moving surface and is arranged in a receptacle which can be moved to change the format of the negative or positive pressure zone. In order to simplify the adjustability of the receptacle in order to position the sealing element, there is a signal transmitter which is connected directly or indirectly to the sealing element and the signal of which can be received on that side of the moving surface which faces away from the sealing element.

  • Patent number: 10022935
    Abstract: An air permeable sun shading fabric for provision of shade while allowing air to permeate the fabric includes a panel that is flexible and comprises a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers comprises an inner layer and an outer layer. Each of the layers has a plurality of openings. The openings are consistently sized and equally spaced, thus defining a band around each of the openings. The opening and a respective one of the bands define a unit. The openings of each of the layers are positioned in rows that are parallel. Each of the rows is offset by one half of the unit from adjacent rows. The layers are mutually coupled, such that each of the pluralities of openings is offset from the pluralities of openings positioned in adjacent layers.

  • Patent number: 9772482
    Abstract: An illumination device for an optical device, a microscope or a macroscope includes a first illumination source configured to emit light which is directed via an illumination beam path onto an object to be illuminated that is arranged in an object plane. At least one second illumination source is positionable in the illumination beam path, and is transparent or semitransparent as well as self-luminous. The at least one second illumination source is configured to allow light emitted from the first illumination source to pass through at least in part. The object plane having the object to be illuminated is configured to be illuminated both by the first and by the at least one second illumination source.

  • Patent number: 9083737
    Abstract: Mitigating threats in a network includes receiving a message at a network device. The message includes device-independent parameters generated in response to a threat. The network device converts the parameters into one or more device-specific operations and then performs the operations to mitigate the threat.

  • Publication number: 20100133071
    Abstract: A transfer belt for carrying a fibrous web and a papermaking or similar machine. The transfer belt consists of a supporting substrate of a polymer foam and a reinforcement layer of aramid or glass fiber in either fabric or layer foam and a release layer that overlies and is bonded to the supporting substrate. The release layer is formed from a material promoting release of the fibrous web. The release layer may be selected from a variety of materials. The layers each contribute their own function to the operation of the belt to provide superior performance.

  • Patent number: 7722741
    Abstract: This invention relates to a machine for the production of a paper web, paperboard web or tissue web, having a roller with a circumferential surface and having an endless belt, in particular a transfer belt, which is wrapped around the circumferential surface of the roller in sections and has a bottom side which in the wrap zone can be brought into contact with the circumferential surface, as the result of which the endless belt and/or the roller provide a storage capacity suitable for accommodating at least in part the fluid which gets into the wrap zone between the bottom side and the circumferential surface.
