Abstract: The document describes a coated paper for offset printing e.g. with a TAPPI 75° gloss value of below 35% or with high gloss properties, comprising at least on one side a top coating layer, said top coating layer comprising a pigment part, the 100 parts in dry weight thereof comprising in the range of 5-40 parts in dry weight of a fine particulate ground calcium carbonate with surface and internal structure modification as a result of treatment with one or more medium to strong H3O+ providers and eventually additional treatment with gaseous carbon dioxide, a binder part of 2-20 parts in dry weight of binder and (regular) additives in the range of 0-8 parts in dry weight.

Abstract: Coated paper for offset printing comprising at least on one side a top coating layer with improved ink scuff behaviour, said top coating layer comprising a pigment part, the 100 parts in dry weight thereof comprising in the range of 2-40 parts in dry weight of a fine particulate, preferably organosilane surface-treated Phyllosilicate pigment like (as pure as possible) Talcum, a binder part of 2-20 parts in dry weight of binder and optionally additives in the range of 0-8 parts in dry weight.

Abstract: Tubing is formed by a rectangular sheet of resilient material which is pliable into a flexed position in which the rectangular sheet has a generally tubular configuration of circular cross section. A pair of elongate mounting strips can be secured along a pair of opposing sides of the rectangular sheet in an assembled position by welding or by integral molding. An elongate clamping member is slidably received in channels within the mounting strips for clamping the mounting strips together.

Abstract: A light diffusing apparatus is provided for attachment to an upright vent pipe, for example the type found in poultry barns and the like. The apparatus includes a mounting collar for securement about one end of the vent pipe and a plurality of generally annular baffles supported on the mounting collar substantially co-axially with the mounting collar. The baffles are spaced apart in an axial direction and have varying diameter from one another so that the baffles overlap one another in a radial direction. The configuration of the baffles ensures that light cannot pass through the vent pipe when the light diffusing apparatus is supported thereon. In particular, overlapping of the baffles in the radial direction thereof while the baffles remain vertically spaced apart permits ventilating air to pass therethrough while blocking light travelling through the vent pipe in an axial direction of the pipe.
