Patent application number | Title | Published |
20140373945 | High-Pressure Fluid Conduit - A high-pressure fluid conduit that conducts high-pressure fluid from a high-pressure fluid source to a high-pressure fluid container through a hose unit during open or normal operation. This high-pressure fluid conduit has a safety feature that is activated when the high-pressure fluid conduit fails due to exposure to a predetermined force. The safety feature closes off the flow of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid source and closes off the escape of high-pressure fluid from the hose unit that entered the hose unit during open or normal operation. In addition, when the hose unit fails, fluid flow from the high-pressure fluid source and high-pressure fluid flow from the high-pressure fluid container is prevented. | 2014-12-25 |

A first purpose of the invention is the improvement in hydraulic coupling for a quick coupling, which has a greater contact surface, employs a smaller diameter for the plug coupling connector in the socket coupling, allowing a greater amount of balls without reducing the material section between the holes that host the balls, and giving the same resistance to the connector as well as a greater support area due to the greater number of balls. Secondly, it is an improvement of the present invention a hydraulic coupling for a quick coupling, which adopts an asymmetrical geometry of the plug coupling peripheral duct that allows applying a more practical and economic tool. The plug coupling duct geometry enables machining with a cutting tool with support of 93° exit angle of approximately 27°, which makes possible to use triangular inserts. The third purpose of the present invention is an improvement in hydraulic coupling for a face-flat type quick coupling, which adopts only one internal in both plug and socket couplings. In the proposed coupling there is no isolated area of the pressurized hydraulic system, however, it is possible to move the because it has an area equalization system, which enables the displacement with a likely force for a human operation. That called equalizer for the plug coupling, and called equalized for the socket coupling has a similar axial hydraulic strength that propagates in both directions forwards and backwards. Thus, from such compensation, it is possible to move it during the coupling operation in the socket, even if its line is under full working pressure. | 2014-12-25 |

The green liquor separation process and the white liquor separation process are taking place in the same common filter apparatus with no dedicated green liquor separation apparatus or any dedicated white liquor separation apparatus. The white liquor separation process and the green liquor separation process are conducted in sequence in the same filter apparatus. The white liquor separation process has a part of the cycle time in the range 20-50% of the total cycle time in the same filter apparatus. | 2014-12-25 |
20140374040 | PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AN INTERMEDIATE PRODUCT INTENDED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL AND FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGNIN - A process for producing from a lignocellulosic raw material of (i) an intermediate product that is intended for the production of ethanol, containing polysaccharides, cellulose and hemicelluloses, and (ii) a product containing lignin in an aqueous solution without sulfur residue, this lignin could be precipitated. The process includes a step of pulping the raw material in an extruder at a temperature of between 60° C. and 180° C. and in the presence of a quantity of water that represents between 200% and 450% of the mass of said raw material and in the presence of a strong base at a concentration of between 0.5% and 4% relative to the volume of water. | 2014-12-25 |
20140374041 | Wet-End Manufacturing Process for Bitumen-Impregnated Fiberboard - A process for manufacturing fiberboard by preparing a fiber slurry mixture including containing cellulose fibers and water then atomizing a liquid bituminous material, such as asphalt. The liquid bituminous material is atomized by mixing it with a pressurized gas, such as compressed air, forming a mist comprising droplets of bituminous material having a diameter between 20 microns and 50 microns. A water spray solidifies the bituminous material droplets thereby forming bituminous particles which fall into the fiber slurry within the spray chamber. From there the slurry is sheared, dewatered, and dried, forming a finished fiberboard. | 2014-12-25 |
20140374042 | AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF OPTICAL BRIGHTENERS - The instant invention relates to storage stable aqueous solutions of stilbene optical brighteners with polyvinyl alcohols which can be directly used by the papermaker in that they may be diluted with water and/or be metered directly into a coating composition, to provide coated papers of a particularly high whiteness. | 2014-12-25 |
20140374043 | CATIONIC WET STRENGTH RESIN MODIFIED PIGMENTS IN WATER-BASED LATEX COATING APPLICATIONS - A dispersion having a cationic zeta potential for use as a base coating on a sheet of paper or paperboard as a primer for a functional barrier top coating, wherein the composition comprises an anionic pigment containing mixture comprising one or more anionic pigments in an amount of at least about 20% dry weight of the mixture, and one or more polyamine-epihalohydrin cationic wet strength resin. | 2014-12-25 |
20140374044 | BARRIER FILM WITH MOLECULAR EXPANSION UNDER STRAIN - A process for treating a solid substrate coupled to a polyol, wherein said polyol bears free hydroxyl groups, comprising the grafting of at least one fatty acid having an aliphatic chain comprising at least 12 carbon atoms onto said solid substrate coupled to a polyol by esterification of at least one free hydroxyl group of said polyol. | 2014-12-25 |
