Abstract: A conventional method for the production of a composite non-woven fibre from at least one spun non-woven fibre and subsequent application of a wood pulp layer to the above for production of a hygiene product is known. Accordingly, the spunbonded non-woven fibre is hydrodynamically needled, before the application of the pulp layer, in order to increase the fluid dispersion properties. Consequently, the pulp layer can no longer be needled, as the pulp would be washed out through the non-woven fibre. Due to the required abrasion resistance a bonding of the non-woven fibre is, however, necessary. According to the invention, the above problem is resolved, whereby a non-woven fibre is compressed or calendered with compressed air, as a pre-bonding treatment, before coating with the super-absorbent material, then the woodpulp layer is applied and both are bonded with a hydrodynamic water needling, followed by drying. A further calandering can be added.

Abstract: The stud replacement kit of the present invention operates by supplying force to the inside portion of a damaged stud and pushing that stud forward and out of the wheel. The kit of the present invention comprises a pressure tool that supplies force to a stud. This pressure tool fit around the wheel, damaged stud, and a spacer that fit between the front of the wheel and the pressure tool. This spacer serves primarily to receiving the stud once removed. In operation, the broken or damaged stud is removed by placing the pressure tool and spacer around the stud to be replaced. A stud screw mechanism in the pressure tool is rotated to cause the tool to apply force to the stud primarily on the backside of the wheel. This force is increased until it overcomes the force that holds the stud in the wheel. At this point, the force of the pressure tool on the stud causes the stud to move in the desired direction for removal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates that constraining a substrate into a convex arc prior to mounting and affixing of any chips, allows those chips to achieve exemplary final chip-to-chip abutment when the substrate is released and allowed to return to stasis. This is particularly of use where there are any intervening thermal cycles, and the thermal temperature coefficients of expansion for the chip/die and any substrate/mount are significantly different. This will allow the utilization of otherwise more desirable materials for the substrate in spite of some mismatch in thermal coefficients that may exist between the substrate and chips.
