  • Publication number: 20220176583
    Abstract: A device for coating workpieces preferably consisting at least in parts of wood, wood materials, plastic, aluminium or the like, comprises: a feed device for feeding a coating material; a pressing device for pressing the coating material onto a surface of a workpiece; a conveying device for inducing a relative movement between the pressing device and the respective workpiece; and an activation device for activating an adhesive on a coating material fed in the feed device and/or for activating an adhesive on a surface of a workpiece to be coated. The activation device comprises at least one supply line for supplying an activation medium as well as a nozzle body having an inlet duct and an outlet region. The activation device comprises at least one acoustic element that is configured to reduce the sound pressure resulting from the flow of the activation medium and/or to effect a frequency shift.

  • Patent number: 7207006
    Abstract: A hypervideo player for playing hypervideos containing both video and hypervideo hyperlinks provides user selectable run-time options for the form of hypervideo hyperlink emphasis region display attributes displayed at the time of viewing. The hypervideo player may reside on a host system. The hypervideo player integrates video file(s) and hypervideo hyperlink data file(s) to form a hypervideo. The hypervideo player decodes a video file, encodes the decoded video file with a corresponding hypervideo hyperlink data file at key frames of the video file to form a hypervideo, displays the hypervideo on a display device and provides the user, at the time of viewing, with at least one user selectable option for the form of hypervideo hyperlink emphasis region display attributes. The hypervideo player preferably employs interpolation between key frames to determine the display position of the hypervideo hyperlink emphasis region(s) in non-key frames of the hypervideo.
