20150091610 | Self-Leveling Logic Receiver - Various implementations include circuits, devices and/or methods that provide closed-loop feedback crowbar current limiting for logic level-shifting between circuits with different voltage supplies. Some implementations include a level-shift circuit assembly including an input buffer and a current limiter. The input buffer is configured to receive an incoming logic signal that is set relative to a first electrical level, and in response, provide a level-shifted logic signal that is set relative to a second electrical level and is logically consistent with the incoming logic signal. The current limiter is configured to suppress the generation of current associated with the input buffer by providing a bias modification condition to the input buffer, in order to adjust the operation of the input buffer, in response to sensing a voltage difference between the first electrical level and the second electrical level. | 04-02-2015 |

20130020042 | DEBONDER AND SOFTENER COMPOSITIONS - Methods and compositions for softening paper. An inventive composition and method of its use softens paper products (like tissue paper) by de-bonding its cellulose fibers and by improving the smoothness of the resulting paper. The invention forms a surfactant-polymer complex that attaches de-bonding non-ionic surfactants to cellulose fibers that would otherwise not be retained by the cellulose fibers. This complex prevents the fibers from bonding with each other and makes the paper product smoother. Best of all, the composition is environmentally superior and is a non-toxic. | 01-24-2013 |
20130103326 | METHOD FOR EARLY WARNING CHATTER DETECTION AND ASSET PROTECTION MANAGEMENT - The invention embodies the application of different combinations of the monitoring and data processing aspects as a means to develop an early warning chatter alarming system. Configuring an early warning chatter alarming system can be as simple as using nσ alarm settings to develop an alarming strategy from different trend conditions such as overall RMS, selected vibration frequencies, slope analysis, and wavelet analysis. A higher level of alarming is provided by using a time integrated approach to account for both intensity of the alarm variable and duration. Combining these different aspects with a predictive model incorporates process-operating conditions to enhance the alarming sensitivity for earlier detection and reduce false positives. Finally, combining the different alarming aspects with a rule-based decision making approach such as fuzzy logic allows alarming based on qualitative analysis of different data streams. | 04-25-2013 |

The PAE resin facilitates the use of an adhesive in a Yankee Dryer apparatus that is durable when the adhesive is wet but remains soft when the adhesive becomes dry. These properties allow the adhesive to be strong and remain engaged to the dryer apparatus when wet but be easily removed by the creping blade when dry. | 05-20-2010 |
20140069600 | METHOD FOR THE EMULSIFICATION OF ASA WITH POLYAMIDOAMINE EPIHALOHYDRIN (PAE) - The invention is directed towards methods and compositions for improving the sizing of paper using PAE. Proper sizing of paper requires that a sizing agent adequately disperse so as to evenly distribute on the paper. Proper sizing also requires that the agent not cause runnability or chemical problems with other materials or equipment used in the papermaking process. PAE displays unexpected attributes that allow it to disperse sizing agents. Best of all it is not subject to the same overdose effect of typical emulsifiers such as cationic starch. As a result PAE is an excellent option for use in sizing paper. | 03-13-2014 |
