  • Publication number: 20160016424
    Abstract: Film with a metallic matte finish, suitable for being laminated on graphic media, printed materials or without printing, based on paper/cardboard with conventional wet (with glues) and/or dry (with low temperature sealing resin) lamination, based on a biaxial polypropylene substrate, and that displays a high capacity for being printed with conventional inks for non-porous substrates, resulting in a film with excellent colors and metallic inks. The resulting printing is sufficiently anchored on the medium and provides a very flashy and realistic metallic finish, highlighting and providing various glosses and hue changes depending on the viewing angle and the light falling on the support. The metallic effect strengthens the clearer and less opaque hues.

  • Publication number: 20150141749
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a base portion comprising an aperture for receiving an organ of a user and a base support member extending downward. The base portion moves along a track. A pivotable and slidable cross member is joined to the base support member. A frame supports the base portion. The frame is joined to the track for moving the base portion relative to the frame. A first support member extends in a downward direction for a first distance. A second support member extends in a downward direction for a second shorter distance. A guide joins ends of the first support member and the second support member. A T-shaped member sliding on the guide is in engagement with the cross member wherein the user engaging the base portion and moving the base portion along the track imparts a lateral movement on the base portion.

  • Patent number: 9013694
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for measuring a wavelength-resolved state of polarization, for calculating differential group delay of an optical signal under analysis (1) by means of taking multiple measurements of the spectrum of the signal under analysis (1) with spectral filtering means (3) with an optical output the power of which depends on the polarization of the input. The polarization at the input of the spectral filtering means (3) is modified by means of a polarization transformer (2) which sequentially selects a plurality of output states of polarization. The spectral filtering means (3) can comprise a filter based on stimulated Brillouin scattering amplification (10) simultaneously combining wavelength discrimination and polarization discrimination.

  • Patent number: 8961648
    Abstract: An integrated steelmaking plant for merging continuous operation of a reduction reactor producing hot DRI with the batch operation of a DRI melting furnace(s). The reactor produces hot DRI for a DRI melting furnace or cold DRI continuously even when the DRI production exceeds the DRI consumption rate of the furnace or suffers long-term operational delays. The reduction reactor has a DRI cooling zone therein which is selectively operable for cooling DRI when the hot DRI produced in the reactor can't all be consumed by the DRI melting furnace and when the capacity of the DRI bin feeding the melting furnace is insufficient to accumulate additional hot DRI. No separate DRI cooling vessel plus its gas compressor and gas cooling-cleaning system is needed, thus decreasing capital and operational costs. This also permits a flexible and modular construction and operation of a steelmaking plant with high or low pressure reduction reactors.
