Web former for a paper machine

The invention concerns a twin-wire web former for a paper machine, whose wires (10,20) form a twin-wire forming zone (V1-V2) between them, on which zone water is drained out of the web (W) through both of said wires (10,20). After the twin-wire zone the web (W) is separated from the covering wire (20) and is transferred on the carrying wire (10) to its pick-up point. In hybrid formers (Fig. 1), after the single-wire forming zone (10a), and in gap formers (Fig. 2), after the curved forming zone (a0) placed directly after the forming gap (G), there is a forming shoe (30;30A) provided with a ribbed deck (31) and fitted inside one of the wire loops (10/20). This forming shoe (30;30A) is followed by dewatering and web forming units which include forming ribs and are placed inside both of the wire loops (10,20), of which units at least one is loaded by means of a pressure-hose arrangement.

794,656. Digital electric calculating apparatus. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. Oct. 22, 1954 [Oct. 28, 1953], No. 29848/53. Class 106 (1). [Also in Group XL (c)] In a half-adder, transistor switches are used in which the base potential exceeds the common D.C. potential of the emitter and base to present a high impedance between emitter and base, the switch being operated by lowering the base potential (see Group XL (c)). O and I pulses of the augend in binary code are applied to a trigger circuit a1 so that the former cause switch A to operate and the latter switch B. In a similar manner, O and I pulses of the addend cause trigger circuit a2 to operate switches C and E or D and F respectively. If an " I " occurs in the augend, switch'B operates and a master pulse passes to switches E and F. Assuming there is an " I " in the addend switches D and F will be operated so that the master pulse passes through switch F and diode MR7 to transformer T8 to indicate " 0 ". The pulse also passes through diode MR8 and delay line d1 to the transformer T9 to add to the " 1 " input. Assuming the second digit is an " 0 " for the augend and addend, the " 1 " carried forward keeps switches D and F open, while the " 0 " of the augend operates switch A so that the next master pulse passes through switch D and diode MR9 to register a " 1 ". The pulse is also fed through diode MR10 and delay line d2 and transformer T10 to switch the trigger circuit to the " 0 " condition with switches C and E operating. If the third digit of the augend is an" I," switch B is operated and the master pulse passes through switch E to register an " I " and through delay line d2 and transformer T10 to retain the trigger circuit in the " 0 " condition.

Low density pet litters and methods of making such pet litters

Compacting expanded perlite fines in the presence of a clay and water, followed by drying, produces particles with low density, good integrity, and surprisingly higher absorption by volume than non-compacted expanded perlite or non-swelling clay. Furthermore, addition of a clumping agent to the compacted granules results in a clumping litter with low density, good integrity and comparable clumping ability to traditional clay clumping litter.

Method and device for controlling a wire in a forming gap of a web former

ABSTRACT Method and device for controlling a wire in the forming gap of a twin-wire web former of a paper machine, which gap is defined between two opposite forming wires. A pulp suspension jet is fed out of the discharge opening of the headbox of the paper machine into the forming gap. The jet has a free flight distance before it meets the forming wires. In the area of the forming gap, a variable-crown or adjustable-crown breast roll is employed as the breast roll of at least one of the wires. The deflection of the mantle of this breast roll is regulated actively from inside the mantle of the breast roll. In this manner, the transverse tightness profile of the wire guided by the breast roll and/or possible instabilities of the wire is/are controlled in particular in the area of the forming gap.
