A radiation sensor provides on-line measurement of web MD/CD fiber orientation ratio, formation indexes of multiple spatial frequencies, and optical density as it relates to basis weight. A light source illuminates one side of a substrate to be measured. The radiation passing through the substrate is detected by a pair of detectors having fields of view along narrow strips which are perpendicular ...

Date Nov. 16, 1989.An apparatus for shelling shellfish such as shrimps consists of a dosing chamber (3) and a heat treatment chamber (5) separated by a slide valve (11) and sealed by cylindrical membrane valves (7, 9). From a funnel (31) the shellfish fall down in...

A shrimp processing apparatus comprising a washing device (7) for washing loose shrimp material away from edible meat includes a peeler equipment (1) and a wash water recirculation system consisting of a water collecting tray (14) positioned beneath the peeler equipment, a return flume (16), a filter (17) with a reservoir (23) positioned therebeneath and a pressure pump (12) to be fed either from ...

Extrudable elastomeric compositions are formed by blending from at least 10 percent, by weight, of an A-B-A' block copolymer where "A" and "A'" are each a thermoplastic endblock which includes a styrenic moiety and where "B" is an elastomeric poly(ethylene-butylene) midblock with up to about 90 per cent, by weight, of at least one polyolefin which, when blended with the A-B-A' block copolymer and ...

Low density ethylenic polymer foam planks having density of from about 0.8 to about 1.9 pounds per cubic foot, dimensional stability, substantially closed-cell structure, a cross-sectional area of at least six square inches and a minimum cross-sectional dimension of at least 0.5 inch. Such foam planks are made from ethylenic polymers by release to lower pressure of flowable, foamable gel under pre...

Stable, emission-free, low-shrinkage, fireproof aminoplastic cellular foams are obtained by using an unsaturated, halogenated polyalcohol in the resin precondensate constituent and a dodecylbenzolsulphonic acid partially esterified preferably with a fatty alcohol and a long-chain polyhydric alcohol, preferably a polyethylene glycol, in the foaming agent hardener constituent. The foams are particul...

According to the invention there is used as the acid which stabilizes metals in wood an organic polymer which is soluble in water or forms micelles in water, contains acid gro...

The present invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule whose sequence encodes the amino acid sequence for gp75 or a fragment thereof. The present invention further provides an isolated cDNA molecule of the gp75 nucleic acid molecule or a fragment thereof and the amino acid sequence derived therefrom. This invention also provides vaccines for stimulating or enhancing in a subject to whom ...

A hand-held razor of the wet-shave type includes a thin flexible foil member with a plurality of apertures, each of which has opposed sharpened shaving edge portions. A displacing mechanism cyclically displaces the foil along a predetermined path such that the velocity of the opposed edge portions caused by the mechanism is substantially greater than the speed of motion caused by normal shaving st...

An open-topped wide mouth paperboard tub (40) for popping popcorn in a microwave oven includes an upstanding side wall (12) which has a free edge (41) at the top and a lower edge (21) which rests on the oven floor. The tub (40) also includes a flat bottom wall (16) connected to the side wall (12) at an elevation spaced upwardly from its bottom edge (21) to define an air compartment between the bot...
