| 20090126319 | Packaging Machine and Method - A packaging method and apparatus wherein each product is packaged by enveloping the product in flexible packaging material. A programmed microprocessor calculates the length of flexible packaging material needed to package the product based on the physical dimensions of the product, calculates the weight of the flexible packaging material needed, and calculates a total package weight as the sum of the weight of the product and the calculated weight of the flexible packaging material. A printer prints information specific to the product that is being packaged onto a label that is then affixed to the flexible packaging material prior to the product being packaged. The information can be a function of the package weight, and the calculated total package weight can be communicated from the microprocessor to the printer. Finally, the product is packaged in the flexible packaging material having the label already affixed thereto. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20160377228 | IMPROVED METHOD TO PRODUCE HIGH-RESISTANCE COMPOSITE VESSELS WITH INNER METAL LINER AND VESSELS MADE BY SAID METHOD - Method for the production of a high-resistance tank has an initial stage in which a closed metal vessel is formed, followed by a second stage in which the walls of the vessel are subjected to a mechanical pre-tensioning treatment in both the axial and radial directions, up to a predetermined value. This mechanical treatment has a stage in which the tank is enclosed inside a mould of suitably larger dimensions. A liquid is then introduced in the tank and pressurised until the tank walls are dilated and stretched to a point where they encounter the mould inner surface. Subsequently, the outside of the tank is coated with one or more layers of composite material, so as to complete the construction of the tank, upon which a final auto-frettage treatment is carried out. The type of steel to be used is AISI 304, preferably in its more weldable AISI 304L version. | 12-29-2016 |
