Abstract: A flame resistant laminate is described, which distinguishes itself by its low heating value ?3 MJ/kg according to ISO 1716 and thanks to its special multilayer structure has excellent mechanical characteristics and an extraordinarily good stability under changing climatic conditions (hot/humid/cold/dry). The laminate according to the invention comprises several mineral and glass fiber non-woven fabrics with different functionalities and components. This includes high-filled non-woven fabrics, B-stage binders and other additives. Its great mechanical strength as well as the extraordinarily good stability under changing climatic conditions (hot/humid/cold/dry) allow its reasonable use in many areas where until now exclusively laminates according to EN 438 are used and beyond.

Abstract: Automated marking devices for self-administering hand markings and methods of use are provided. A device for self-administering hand markings includes a housing, a stamp driving assembly, a stamp assembly, and a planar surface for receiving a patron's hand. The stamp assembly is configured to substantially leave a full stamp impression on the patron's hand, regardless of varying topologies, sizes, and orientations of hands that are placed in the hand marking device.

Abstract: An interdental wedge includes a base body. A cross section of the base body decreases along a length of the base body, at least in places. The base body is three-dimensionally curved, at least in places. An interdental device may include two interdental wedges. One or more interdental wedges may be used for fixing insulating material and/or matrices in the tooth area, and for reversible contact point separation of adjacent teeth, also referred to as separation of the contact points.

Abstract: A line hanger for securing lines, such as transmission, pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical and other types of lines, to a support structure. The line hanger includes a wire structure with an attachment section configured for mounting to the support structure and a pair of clamping arms depending outwardly from the attachment provision. The clamping arms are configured to resiliently separate to receive a line and to resiliently relax for applying a clamping force to secure the line. The clamping arms are clasped together by engaging hook members defined at the open end of the wire structure. Multiple line hangers may be interlinked or stacked relative to the support structure for support multiple lines.

Abstract: Commercial production transport systems, mechanisms, and guides for food processing are configured so as to automate food transport. The system can direct food to travel serially over side-by-side predetermined travel lanes using one or more of a pick-up mechanism and/or router guide channels to pick-up and/or laterally translate the food product form the first travel lane to the second travel lane so that it travels greater than one, and typically a plurality, of revolutions about a tier or level in a vertically stacked food processing unit before moving to the next tier. Associated methods redirect and/or laterally translate food being transported in an automated food processing system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and associated devices for supplying support members to a product loading station, loading, and automatically removing loaded members therefrom include: (a) advancing in spaced-apart relationship, a plurality of carrier members having opposing first and second ends and an associated width and length, along a selected travel path to a loading station; (b) presenting, in serial order, the carrier members to the loading station in a substantially horizontal orientation; (c) discharging elongated product from a winder arm that moves in a selected pattern about the carrier member at the loading station; and (d) straddling elongated product over each respective carrier member at the loading station responsive to the discharging step so that portions of the elongated product are serially draped over the carrier member along a length thereof, the straddling being carried out so that certain lengths of the elongated product hang from opposing sides of the carrier member.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for setting a dose of a drug in a syringe having a plunger, comprising an outer housing and an inner housing adapted for encircling the syringe, such that the inner housing is positioned within the outer housing to set the dose of the drug. In an embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a dosage indicator disposed on the inner housing and the outer housing further comprises an opening for viewing the dosage indicator.

Abstract: Automated loaders are configured with winding mechanisms that wind elongated products directly onto transfer members, such as sticks or rods, by causing the arm to follow a repetitive motion pattern above and below the stick or rod to discharge the elongated product in a winding motion onto the stick or rod. Methods for discharging elongated product, such as encased meats, so that they loop directly onto the stick, bar or other desired food support is also described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and associated devices for supplying support members to a product loading station and automatically removing loaded members therefrom include: (a) advancing in serial order and spaced apart relationship, a plurality of elongated support members having opposing first and second ends and an associated length, along a selected travel path; (b) loading each of the elongated support members individually with a respective continuous length of multiple loops or multiple discrete lengths of elongated product at the loading station; and (c) advancing the loaded elongated support members away from the loading station along the selected travel path.
