  • Publication number: 20190003118
    Abstract: A dryer filtration fabric for use in a drying section of a machine for producing and/or processing a fibrous web, in particular paper, cardboard, tissue or non-woven, has machine direction threads interwoven with machine cross direction threads to form a single-ply woven fabric having an air permeability between 40 cfm and 330 cfm. The machine direction threads and the machine cross direction threads have a flattened cross-sectional shape with a width-to-height ratio of more than 1. Each of the machine direction threads runs over and/or under a maximum of three, preferably a maximum of two, machine cross direction threads that are disposed directly beside one another. The number of the machine direction threads per 10 cm, viewed in the machine cross direction, lies in the range from 170 to 200, and the filling level of the machine direction threads lies in the range from 90% to 110%.

  • Publication number: 20180079507
    Abstract: A passenger supply unit for an aircraft cabin, including an input device for detecting a control command from a passenger, and for outputting a control signal to a further device for controlling the further device according to the control command. A passenger supply unit can be controlled by a passenger independent of its height above the passenger seat. The unit can be independent from an in-flight entertainment system. The input device includes a contact free sensor to detect the control command without being contacted by a passenger.

  • Patent number: 9885151
    Abstract: A press arrangement for a machine for producing and/or processing a fibrous web, in particular a paper, board or tissue web. The arrangement has at least a central roll and a first and a second mating pressing unit. The first mating pressing unit forms a first press nip with the central roll, and the second mating pressing unit forms a second press nip with the central roll. The central roll has a plurality of pressure sensors embedded in the central roll and arranged beside one another in the cross-machine direction, by way of which the pressure profile in the cross-machine direction can be determined in the first and in the second press nip. There is also disclosed a method for operating such a press arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20180018382
    Abstract: A set of objects is defined from a plurality of objects. The objects are defined with a common structure including properties. The plurality of objects is to be clustered into clusters. A clustering criterion for determining the clusters is defined. The clusters are non-intersecting sets of objects from the set of objects. Object distance between a first object and a second object from the set of objects is computed. The computation of the object distance is based on computation of distances between property values defined for properties from the structure of the objects from the set. When the first object is a part of the cluster, the second objects is added to the cluster when the object distance complies with the clustering criterion. The clusters are determined in a number of iterations based on evaluations of the distances between objects from subsequently determined subsets of objects from the plurality.

  • Publication number: 20170247838
    Abstract: A method produces or machines a roller which is suitable to be used in a machine for producing or processing a fibrous web. The roller contains a roller core and at least one functional layer. The method is characterized in that the method includes the application of a functional layer. The application of the functional layer is performed by applying a coating substrate to the surface of a roller core. The application takes place simultaneously over at least half the roller width, preferably over 75% of the roller width, particularly preferably over the entire roller width. The entire applied coating substrate or parts thereof are hardened, forming a solidified structure.

  • Patent number: 9745698
    Abstract: A roll for a machine for producing and/or processing a fibrous web, such as a paper, board or tissue web, has a circular-cylindrical main roll body. A roll cover covers the circumferential surface of the main roll body, at least in some segments. A pressure- and/or temperature-sensitive sensor is embedded in the roll cover. The sensor connects to an electrical and/or optical signal line. The signal line has a first line segment inside the roll. A second line segment extends substantially outside the roll and is connectable to a signal excitation and/or signal processing unit at one end. An electrical and/or optical rotational connection connects the first and second line segments to allow the line segments to be rotated relative to one another. When the roll is rotated, the first line segment rotates together with the main roll body. The second line segment does not have to follow the rotation.

  • Publication number: 20160122948
    Abstract: A film press for finishing a fibrous web, in particular a paper or board web, includes a roll and a backing roll forming a nip therebetween, and at least one metering rod for contacting at least one of the rolls for applying a liquid or pasty medium thereto to transfer the medium to the fibrous web. The rolls each have a roll core and a roll cover surrounding the roll core. A sensor system having at least one glass fiber into which Bragg gratings are inscribed is disposed in the roll cover and/or between the roll core and roll cover of at least one of the rolls. The sensor system determines a web separation point of the fibrous web from at least one of the rolls after passage through the nip and transfer of the application medium. The web separation point can be controlled by using determined measured values.

  • Publication number: 20160038969
    Abstract: A film application mechanism applies a pasty or fluid coating medium to a running fibrous material web, particularly a paper or cardboard web. At least one roller of a roller pair is an application roller, for transferring the coating medium provided in the form of a film on the application roller to one side of the fibrous material web. An application device and a doctor blade element are associated with the application roller such that the coating material is first applied in excess to the application roller upstream of the first nip by the application device and then removed in part in a second nip by the doctor blade element which forms the second film-forming nip with the application roller. Pressure sensors for determining a pressure profile transversely to the machine direction in the first and second nips are embedded in the elastic covering of the application roller.

  • Patent number: 8815057
    Abstract: A fabric for a papermaking machine is configured as a belt, the two side edges of which are configured in each case as closed lines. Furthermore, the belt is formed in one layer from a solid material and has pores which form passages between the two surfaces of the belt. The belt has regions with a width of approximately 400 micrometers (?m) or less. These regions extend in the longitudinal direction over the entire circumference of the belt, transversely with respect to the side edges, and include no pores formed therein.
