Abstract: The device is used for separating a partial quantity of threads from a thread layer by means of a movable separating means, wherein the thread layer is formed from a plurality of adjacently arranged threads. The device includes a movement device for moving the separating means relative to the thread layer, a control device for controlling the movement device and a detection device for detecting threads, wherein the detection device allows the detection of a reference position relative to the thread layer and the movement device can be controlled in such a manner that the separating means can be brought to a working position relative to the thread layer and can execute a separating movement in which the separating means is at least partially inserted between two adjacent threads.

Abstract: A method of producing a coated paper having reduced gloss mottle and excellent smoothness includes the steps of calendering a base stock at a relatively high pressure in a first calendering step, coating at least one side of the calendered base stock and calendering the coated base stock at a relatively low pressure in a second calendering step.

Abstract: An inventory control system and method that tracks inventories of items with RFID tags, includes a reader unit and an intelligent station that tracks RFID tags to determine item information of items to be inventoried. The reader unit transmits and receives RF signals. The intelligent station includes a first RF antenna connected to the reader unit by a first transmission cable through a first switch, and one or more additional RF antennae connected to the reader unit by the same first transmission cable through additional switches. An inventory control processing unit receives item information from the intelligent stations to update inventory information regarding the items to be inventoried.

Abstract: A method for connecting at least two threads, especially thread end regions, which are arranged overlapping and are connected together, wherein an auxiliary connection element is guided several times around the adjacent threads, the connection element remaining on the threads.

Abstract: A container body with a container opening and a flap partially secured to the container body and completely covering the container opening is disclosed. The flap is secured to the container by a hinge or fold line and formed from the same substrate as the container body. The container body contains a first magnetic region adjacent to and surrounding the perimeter of the container opening. The flap contains a second magnetic region aligned with and opposite the container body's first magnetic region. The first and second magnetic regions are magnetically attracted to each other. The flap is held in a closed position by magnetic attraction between the flap's magnetic region and the container body's magnetic region.

Abstract: This invention relates to a loose draw detector for a paper machine wet press. Such structure of this type, generally, use laser triangulation displacement sensors mounted and positioned to measure the point of web release from the center roll and measure paper web wrinkles in the form of rapid fluctuations/decreases in the standoff distance between sensors and the web passing over the leadout roll to determine loose draw.

Abstract: This invention relates to coater blades which are employed in papermaking machines. Such structures of this type, generally, employ a continuous coater blade located across the width of the papermachine which provides a new section of blade at desired rates or intervals.

Abstract: This invention relates to load adjustment systems for coater blades. Such structures of this type, generally, employ the use of an actuator assembly to control cross-direction (widthwise) coatweight profiles.
