  • Publication number: 20240133123
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to products, such as paper and paperboard products, comprising a substrate containing a recycled cellulose-containing material and top ply comprising one or more inorganic particulate material; to methods of making such paper and paperboard products, and associated uses of such paper and paperboard products. The microfibrillated cellulose and inorganic particulate material are applied at a stage when the substrate comprising a wet web of pulp is in the process of being formed on the wire of a papermaking machine, thereby avoiding the additional cost of more extensive equipment and machinery as well as in separate drying of a coating. The microfibrillated cellulose facilitates the application of inorganic particulate onto the surface of a wet paper or paperboard substrate.

The microfibrillated cellulose facilitates the application of inorganic particulate onto the surface of a wet paper or paperboard substrate when applied thusly, by trapping the inorganic particulate on the surface of the substrate and by giving the composite sufficient strength and a suitable pore structure to make it suitable for printing and other end-use demands.

  • Publication number: 20040105225
    Abstract: A rack-mounted disk drive enclosure has a plurality of frames, each capable of being individually pulled out of the enclosure from the front. Each frame is L shaped and has a vertical portion that is more or less planar as well as a horizontal portion carrying circuitry, for example in a printed circuit board. Each frame carries a plurality of disk drives, each having at least one platter spinning parallel with the vertical portion of the frame. Each drive is disposed with its connector pointing downward, toward the printed circuit board and plugged thereinto. At the rear of the frame, a connector connects to a centerplane. Concentrator logic is placed on the printed circuit board of the frame, as are LEDs or other indicators permitting an indication of which drive (if any) needs to be replaced. In this way, it is possible to remove more than one drive, and let less than all of the drives, at a time, from the enclosure, while other drives can remain in service.

  • Patent number: 3965827
    Abstract: A trap for a criminal intended for use in a bank and including a bullet-proof transparent cage suspended in front of a teller's position and which drops over a criminal holding up the teller upon activation of an alarm device to totally entrap and enclose the criminal therein, and further including a gas canister automatically activated upon the entrapment of the criminal to deploy an anesthetic type gas to render the criminal helpless within the cage until the arrival of law enforcement personnel.
