Abstract: A faucet-mounted filter system includes a body forming a fluid chamber having a water inlet, a quick connect device positioned adjacent the water inlet for mounting the filter system to a water faucet, a filtered water flow path disposed within the body and in fluid communication with the water inlet, an unfiltered water flow path disposed within the body and in fluid communication with the water inlet, a diverter valve disposed within the fluid chamber and operable to open and close the filtered and unfiltered water flow paths, a seal, an actuator engaging the diverter valve to open and close the filtered and unfiltered water flow paths, a flow meter connected to the body and in fluid communication with the filter flow path, a filter housing connected to the body and having a reservoir, and a filter cartridge disposed within the reservoir.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for adjusting and maintaining a position of cutting surfaces used to create lines of weakness in rolled products. During cutting operations, intermittent contact between cutting surfaces causes cutting components to become heated, which in turn, causes an overlap distance between cutting surfaces to vary from desired values. Conversely, when cutting operations are stopped, the components cool, which in turn, may cause the overlap distance to vary from desired values at steady state operating conditions. To help reduce or eliminate the changes to overlap distances caused by cyclical heating and cooling between times of cutting operations and shutdowns, one or more heaters may be utilized to apply heat to one or more components to maintain relatively constant temperatures during periods of cutting operations and/or when cutting operations are paused or stopped.

Abstract: Rolled absorbent paper products and methods for making are provided. The rolled paper products comprise a hollow cylindrically shaped tube having a visible indicia of bleached cellulose fibers on the tube and a length of an absorbent paper product wound upon the tube. Methods for making the tube employing a laser to bleach cellulose fibers is also provided.
