Abstract: A security element that can be embedded in the form of a thread or strip in a security document, in particular a paper of value, is composed of two carrier sheets, each of which bears each of the marking substances allowing for detection of authenticity. The two carrier sheets are put together in such a way that the marking substances to be protected from mechanical abrasion and other external influences come to lie on the inside.The thread not only offers special protection for the marking substances, but can also be embedded in the paper substance easily due to its symmetrical structure and without showing any tendency to curl.

Abstract: Electrically conductive polymeric materials, having microwave susceptive characteristics, are produced by suspending a fibrous based material and a monomer precursor of a conductive polymer in an aqueous solution. Addition of a chemical oxidant induces polymerization of the monomer resulting in coating of the fibrous based material. The invention provides a susceptor material useful for cooking food items in a microwave oven, and enhances the browning and/or crispening of the items. Conductive polymer coated fibrous based materials can be formed into a paper product by conventional papermaking techniques or molded into an integral structures having microwave interactive properties.

Abstract: A wrapper for preparing a rosin baked potato by wrapping a whole potato in a wrapper formed from a rosin impregnated absorbent cellulosic substrate laminated by rosin to a flexible sheet and allowing melted rosin to be retained around the potato as the potato is baked in a heating apparatus.

Abstract: Imaging paper having randomly distributed fibers and uniformly dispersed throughout unexpanded synthetic thermoplastic polymeric microspheres, a method of preparation and a method of imparting an image thereto.

Abstract: This heat-superstabilized semi-finished product containing thermoplastic resin is constituted of at least two layers: at least one surface layer S designed to be exposed to a source of heat and at least one other layer C which is not directly exposed to said source of heat, said layer S having an overall content by weight of stabilizer which is between 3 and 30 times greater than that of layer C, and said layer S having a surface density between 50 and 600 g.m..sup.-2.

Abstract: Water setting paper (high water-absorbency material) comprised of pulp fiber, water-soluble resin and high wate-absorbency resin is produced in sheet form for use in urine containers or portable toilets. Water setting paper or the high water-absorbency sheet thus formed absorbs and solidifies the urine, allowing the urine to be disposed of easily, rapidly and hygienically.

Abstract: A check paper is being described which is protected against falsifications and forgeries. Crushable micro capsules are being embedded in check paper which contain on one hand a leuco ink and on the other hand a color acceptor. The color acceptor can also be stored in the body of the paper without the use of micro capsules. The leuco ink and the color acceptor react together under color development or color changes if the micro capsules burst through imprinting or other local pressure application to the paper surface. Thus, a character written on the paper surface becomes visible within the body of the paper and cannot be forged anymore.

Abstract: This relates to the manufacture of wet process hardboard. The invention involves supplying additional heat curable resin to the mid-thickness regions of the panel by injecting additional resin into the moving mat as it is being formed on a forming surface. The region of injection of the resin is selected so that the bottom of the partially formed mat is sufficiently consolidated to resist the passage of resin therethrough while at the same time the top of the mat is still sufficiently liquid so that disturbances of the fibers of the partially dewatered mat caused by the injection of the resin have an opportunity to mend. The resin may be injected into the longitudinal marginal portions of the mat in continuous fashion such that, after the edges of the final board product have been trimmed, the resin treated areas are exposed to view. The additional resin reinforces the edge portions and assists in providing uniform caliper of the board across its width.

Abstract: A process for directly forming multiple layer web, and creping such webs to provide absorbent, soft and bulky, creped tissue. The process produces a laminar fibrous formation with outer layers of strongly bonded fibers separated by an intermediate central section of weakly bonded fibers, which outer layers are creped such that the crepe in one outer layer is independent of the crepe in the other outer layer.

Abstract: Hard and medium density board made of lignocellulosic fibers having a central layer with substantially higher concentration of set resin than both the outer layers of said board have as good strength properties as a corresponding board having said higher concentration of said resin throughout the thickness of the board. Said board is produced by introducing a thermosetting resin solution or a high resin content pulp into and evenly across the width of the central layer of the pulp or the wet lap to be pressed and heat treated, the pressing period being shortened as well as the press cycle. Said process can be carried out with an apparatus including a member to be inserted in the pulp slurry flow in the headbox of a board machine or in the flow on the moving continuous wire screen of the board machine comprising an element having nozzles or slits through which a thermosetting resin solution or a high resin content slurry can be brought to flow.

Also comprehended is a method of making such a composite laminate structure.

Abstract: A pressure sensitive recording sheet adapted for imaging under the pressure of a typewriter key or other writing instrument. The sheet comprises a ply of high surface area polyolefin fibers masking a colored medium therein. The ply of polyolefin fibers when subjected to the localized pressure of a writing instrument becomes relatively transparent in the region where the pressure is applied, to make distinct the colored medium distributed in the recording sheet.
