  • Patent number: 7982090
    Abstract: The invention relates to laminates, absorbent articles and production methods thereof. An absorbent article includes a liquid impervious backsheet having a first layer forming the wearer facing side of the backsheet, a second layer forming the garment facing side of the backsheet. The first layer has a wearer-facing surface and a garment facing surface and the garment facing surface includes at least first indicia present in the front half but not in the rear half of the backsheet backsheet. The backsheet includes a third layer on the front half of the backsheet and that covers partially but not fully the garment facing surface of the second layer and the first indicia. The second and the third layers are translucent in order for the first indicia to be visible through the second and third layers when looking at the absorbent article from the garment facing side of the backsheet.

  • Publication number: 20080308050
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cylinder head (1) which, at an assembly end-side (9), can be connected to a cylinder block, having a coolant jacket (2), which is at least partially integrated in the cylinder head (1), for an internal combustion engine having at least two cylinders, in which each cylinder has at least one outlet opening (3a, 3b) for discharging the exhaust gases out of the cylinder, with an exhaust-gas line (4a, 4b) adjoining each outlet opening (3a, 3b), the exhaust-gas lines (4a, 4b) of the at least two cylinders merging within the cylinder head (1) to form a combined exhaust-gas line (6), and the coolant jacket (2) having a lower coolant jacket (2a), which is arranged between the exhaust-gas lines (4a, 4b, 5, 6) and the assembly end-side (9) of the cylinder head (1), and an upper coolant jacket (2b), which is arranged on that side of the exhaust-gas lines (4a, 4b, 5, 6) which is situated opposite the lower coolant jacket (2a).

  • Patent number: 5551988
    Abstract: The cleaning of the brewing device of a coffee machine takes place in various phases. In a first phase, water is conducted out of a water tank via a water supply connection of the brewing cylinder through the outlet pipe disposed in the brewing piston into an external water tank. The cleaning water follows the route of the brewed coffee in this phase. In a second phase (see FIG. 3) the cleaning water is conducted from the brewing cylinder via channels in the wall of the brewing cylinder into areas outside the brewing cylinder and cleans, among other things, the second extension piece for the transport of the coffee grounds to the grounds container. In a third phase the water located in the brewing chamber is caused to flow out over the edge of the brewing cylinder by means of the shifting of the ejection piston.
