Abstract: A process and system for applying an adhesive to a core during the production of rolled paper products is disclosed. The system of the present invention is generally directed to the use of pumping devices that meter out constant volumetric amounts of an adhesive onto a core through a plurality of adhesive applicators simultaneously. The systems includes, for instance, a positive displacement pump system in which a fluid at substantially constant pressure is fed to a pumping device for dispensing the adhesive to a plurality of adhesive applicators in constant volumetric amounts.

Abstract: An electron detection device for use with an electron microscope defining a sample chamber. The device comprises a housing which in use is mounted to and opens into or forms part of a sample chamber of an electron microscope. A support structure is attached to the detection device housing and is in communication with the sample chamber in use. The support structure supports within it a member from which depends a phosphor scintillator, the member being movable between an extended position in which the phosphor scintillator is close enough to a sample to be struck by electrons and a retracted position. A control system controls movement of the member; and a detector monitors light emitted by the phosphor scintillator in response to electron impact.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for separating and/or winding a web. A web is adhered by vacuum force to a rotating transfer roll. A turret is provided that is capable of indexing about a longitudinal axis, the turret having a plurality of mandrels rotatably affixed to the turret. A web passes to the transfer roll and to winding position of the turret. A severing means, such as an air knife, water knife, interference device, or severing roll is configured to separate the web. The web may be synthetic, textile, or paper. The web may be perforated at periodic intervals so that the web sections may be separated at pre-existing perforations and then wound upon mandrels of the turret in a continuous operation.
