US 20020142143 A1 Abstract The present invention is a laser engravable embossing roll exhibiting improved wear characteristics and life span through the use of an epoxy resin based material. Specifically, the embossing roll according to the present invention can be produced using standard laser engraving techniques that have heretofore been applied to rubbers. Rubber rolls, while produced significantly faster than engraved steel rolls, have the disadvantage of poor life span due to wear. The epoxy based resin rolls of the present invention overcome these disadvantages by being quickly and easily produced using laser engraving but exhibiting significantly improved wear characteristics.

Description [0001] This application claims the right to priority under 35 U.S.C. �119(e) based on Provisional Patent Application No. 60/279,869 filed Mar. 29, 2001. [0002] The present invention relates to an emboss roll for continuously embossing a moving web of material, such as paper. More particularly, the present invention relates to a laser engravable roll having improved wear characteristics. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to rolls that are patternable by laser engraving techniques that have improved hardness and durability. Finally, the present invention relates to an laser engraved roll made from an epoxy based resin. [0003] The present invention relates to apparatus used to emboss paper products, preferably elongate webs used to make paper goods, e.g., paper towels, toilet tissue, or paper napkins. Embossing is the act of mechanically working a substrate to cause the substrate to conform under pressure to the depths and contours of a patterned embossing roll. Generally, the web is passed between a pair of emboss rolls that, under pressure, form contours within the surface of the paper. [0004] In most configurations at least one of the two roller surfaces directly carries the pattern to be transferred to the paper web. Known configurations include rigid-to-resilient embossing and rigid-to-rigid embossing. The present invention is an improved embossing roll for use in any known embossing configuration. [0005] In a rigid-to-resilient embossing system, a single or multi-ply substrate is passed through a nip formed between a roll whose substantially rigid surface contains the embossing pattern as a multiplicity of protuberances and/or depressions arranged into an aesthetically-pleasing manner, and a second roll, whose substantially resilient surface can be either smooth or also contain a multiplicity of protuberances and/or depressions which cooperate with the rigid surfaced patterned roll. Heretofore, rigid rolls were generally formed from a steel body which is either directly engraved upon or which can contain a hard rubber-covered surface (directly coated or sleeved) upon which the embossing pattern is laser engraved. While a steel roll that has been directly engraved has a longer lifespan, the production of a directly engraved steel roll can require a significant lead time. Known laser engraved sleeves can take less time to make but have a lifespan which is substantially less than that of a steel roll. [0006] Resilient rolls may consist of a steel core directly coated or sleeved with a resilient material and may or may not be engraved with a pattern. If a pattern is present, it may be either a mated or a non-mated pattern with respect to the pattern carried on the rigid roll. [0007] In the rigid-to-rigid embossing process, a single-ply or multi-ply substrate is passed through a nip formed between two substantially rigid rolls. The surfaces of both rolls contain the pattern to be embossed as a multiplicity of protuberances and/or depressions arranged into an aesthetically-pleasing manner where the protuberances and/or depression in the second roll cooperate with those patterned in the first rigid roll. The first rigid roll is generally formed from a steel body which is either directly engraved upon or which can carry a hard rubber-covered surface (directly coated or sleeved) upon which the embossing pattern is laser engraved. The second rigid roll is generally formed from a steel body which is also directly engraved upon or which can carry a hard rubber covered surface (directly coated or sleeved) upon which a matching or mated pattern is conventionally engraved or laser engraved. Laser engravable rolls are known, see for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,211,743 and 5,356,364, both of which are incorporated herein by reference, in their entirety. [0008] Prior art embossing systems where the embossing pattern is carried directly by one or both of the steel embossing rolls suffer from a number of disadvantages. Specifically, to directly engrave steel can require a significant amount of lead time. Laser engraving of hard rubber has improved the lead time, but has not replaced directly engraved steel rolls due to issues associated with wear. Furthermore, directly engraved steel rolls run the risk that if the emboss pattern gets damaged and a new roll must be produced, the preparation of a new steel roll can require significant time, possibly resulting in machine down time and definitely resulting in increased expense. [0009] The present invention overcomes the disadvantages associated with prior art steel rolls and further addresses the wear issues associated with prior art rubber rolls and sleeves. The present invention provides an embossing roll made from a material that can be patterned and which provides improved wear characteristics. The present invention further provides a resin based roll that is capable of being laser engraved and which exhibits improved wear characteristics and life span in commercial use. [0010] In accordance with the invention, there is disclosed a laser engravable embossing roll comprising a resin based material which exhibits improved wear resistance. There is further disclosed a laser engravable embossing roll comprising, a Bisphenol A epoxy based resin, epichlorohydrin and a filler material. [0011] There is still further disclosed, a laser engravable embossing roll comprising a phenolic or styrene based resin that is first patterned and then cured. [0012] Finally, there is disclosed a method of making a patterned web comprising, passing the web between one or more resin based laser engraved embossing rolls. [0013] Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. [0014] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed. [0015] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate one embodiment of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. [0016]FIG. 1 is an infrared spectrum of one epoxy resin for use according to the present invention. [0017]FIG. 2 is thermogram of one epoxy resin for use according to the present invention. [0018]FIG. 3 is a pyrolysis GC/MS chromatogram of one epoxy resin for use according to the present invention. [0019]FIG. 4 illustrates an emboss pattern that may be used with the present invention. [0020] Reference will now be made in detail to the present embodiments (exemplary embodiments) of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. [0021] The present invention relates to the production of rolls for use in the embossing of elongate webs of material, such as paper and the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to embossing rolls that have improved wear resistant surfaces. [0022] The embossing roll according to the present invention can be either formed from a single laser engravable material upon which an embossing pattern is engraved or can be a rigid core that is coated or sleeved with an improved laser engravable material. [0023] One advantage associated with the present invention is the improvements in production time that may be achieved when the embossing pattern is created using laser engraving. As described above, the pattern can be carried directly by a core material that can be laser engraved or can be present in a sleeve or coating of laser engravable material that surrounds a structurally rigid core. [0024] The core may be produced from any art recognized material which can be sleeved or coated with a laser engravable material. Appropriate materials to produce a structurally rigid core will be readily apparent to the skilled artisan. According to one embodiment of the invention, the core would be steel. Appropriate methods for forming a patternable coating or sleeve over a rigid core include any art recognized method and would be readily apparent to the skilled artisan. Preferred coating methods include dip coating, casting or vulcanizing. Appropriate core preparation may include pretreatment to achieve the necessary adherence between the core and the coating. Pretreatments may include, but are not limited to, sandblasting, sanding, and chemical pretreatment. [0025] Materials for use in the production of rolls according to the present invention are selected from resin materials that are capable of being laser engraved, while exhibiting sufficient hardness that they will withstand the ordinary use conditions of commercial embossing. Prior art rubber rolls having a Shore A hardness on the order of 98 can withstand commercial runs conditions for only about 25 days. [0026] Patternable materials that may be used with the present invention include hard resin based materials. Prior art rubber sleeves are generally at about 99 Shore A hardness and below. The material for use according to the present invention exceed the 100 Shore A hardness associated with the scale. Preferably the materials according to the present invention would reside on the Shore D scale. In one embodiment of the present invention, the material has a Shore D hardness of at least about 90. [0027] Preferred materials according to the present invention will not exhibit any substantial wear when used in a standard commercial environment for a least about 3 months, more preferably at least about 6 months, still more preferably at least about 9 months, and most preferably at least about 1 year. The materials according to the present invention can sustain no substantial wear over a 3 to 5 year period. Substantial wear as used in the present invention refers to wear that is at 10 microns or less. [0028] Preferred materials according to the present invention will not exhibit wear that is visible to the naked eye at the end of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months from the inception of commercial use. [0029] While resins have not generally been used for embossing rolls, resins provide good durability, good castability, good core adhesion, good printability and good engravability. Appropriate resins would include, but are not limited to, epoxy resins, phenolic resins, isocyanate resins, styrenated resins, polyester resins, thermosetting resins, and polycarbonate resins. [0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, materials for use in the present invention are selected from epoxy based resins, more particularly, epoxy based materials containing Bisphenol A and more preferably containing epichlorohydrin. One preferred material for use according to the present invention has been analyzed and the results of that analysis are set forth in FIGS. 1-3. FIG. 1 is an Infrared spectrum showing that the preferred material according to the present invention is a Bisphenol A type epoxy resin. This preferred material is available from Voith Sulzer under the tradename TOP ROCK. FIG. 2 is a thermogram of the TOP ROCK material between 50� C. and 800� C. The thermogram was used to determine the temperature at which the chromatogram of FIG. 3 was to be carried out. Specifically, this analysis can be used to determine if a material will produce volatiles making it unacceptable for laser engraving. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the most significant volatile produced was benzyl alcohol. In addition, decompositions products as seen in FIG. 3 included acetone, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, 2-propene-1-ol, 1-butanol, pyridine and alkyl substituted pyridines, acetic acid, benzaldehyde and alkyl substituted phenols. [0031] In an alternative embodiment according to the present invention, the resin may be selected from a material which exhibits characteristics making it capable of being laser engraved prior to heat setting or curing. In this embodiment, a soft resin roll may be patterned through laser engraving. The resin is then cured or heat set to result in a hard material capable of withstanding the pressures associated with commercial embossing. Appropriate resins for use according to this embodiment include phenolic resins and isocyanate resins. [0032] Resin materials for use in the present invention may be filled or unfilled materials. The resin may include up to 50% filler, more preferably less than about 40% filler, most preferably less than about 30% filler. Appropriate resins will be readily apparent to the skilled artisan. Filler materials may be selected from any art recognized fillers. [0033] An embossing roll was produced from TOP ROCK material obtained from Voith Sulzer. The TOP ROCK roll was laser engraved using the pattern of FIG. 4. Top Rock exhibits a Shore D hardness of 91. [0034] Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following claims. Referenced by

Susan Brownell Anthony (February 15, 1820 - March 13, 1906) was a prominent American civil rights leader. In the era before the American Civil War, Anthony, only 17 years old, took a prominent role in the New York anti-slavery movement by collecting petitions opposing slavery. She began teaching in 1846 which inspired her to fight for wages, since men earned roughly four times more than women for the same duties. In 1849, at age 29, she briefly took up drinking and cocaine. She quit teaching and moved to the family farm for detoxification in Rochester, NY where she began to take part in the temperance movement. In 1851 she co-founded the first Women's Temperance Movement with Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In 1868, she published the first women's...

Totally worth it
The famed 'Kru Lilly' has spent a lifetime proving people wrong
Yanapon Musiket
Born as the first son of a family in Rayong, Kijmanoch Rojanasupya knew all along that he was a girl deep inside. He preferred to be among girls, putting make-up on his face and speaking with a high-pitched voice. He tried his best to never let his parents find out, but there were times his cousin tried to confront his parents about his sexual orientation.
Worse, his cousin once said something that shot right through his heart – "you were born worthless".
Now the owner of Pinnacle, the famous tutorial school in Siam Square, Kijmanoch has grown up to be a proud transgender woman who is a well-known and respected Thai language tutor and media personality. Students and her admirers now dearly call her by her nickname "Kru Lilly".
"It was the worst thing a person can say to others, especially when it comes from your cousin," says the 44-year-old. "Thanks to her, I kept those words in my heart and told myself that I would prove her wrong."
In childhood, Lilly always made sure she had good grades, and did whatever it took to make her parents proud. Graduating from a top high school and university, her transcripts are full of As, with a number of certifications and trophies earned along the way.
After completing a degree in Communication Arts at Chulalongkorn University, Lilly began her first job in an employee relations department. As she recalls, it was a painful moment.
"I wasn't myself," she says. "I had to wear overalls because I worked for a manufacturing company. Later, when male colleagues knew that I'm gay, everything went downhill."
One day a teacher friend asked her to fill in for a communications class. Standing in front of the students and getting their attention gave her an enthralled feeling, something she had longed for.
"It was like there's a spotlight pointed at me," she laughs. "The kids loved hearing what I said and had fun throughout the class. That made me very happy."
Following this, Lilly applied for and was accepted for a teaching job at a university. After teaching for a while, her carefree spirit led her to take the big step of founding a tutorial school.
"Being the first openly gay tutor was not easy," she says. "And I didn't have a major in Thai, nor a teaching degree. There were so many people against me. But, you know, I love to prove people wrong. I've been doing it since I was a kid. So, I worked hard and let the results of my students say it all." In 1999, a television talk show Tee Sib (At Ten) introduced Lilly to Thai audiences. By this time her reputation at Pinnacle had grown among young students who were fascinated by her teaching style and quality, as well as her kind and funny character.

The eBook erotica craze didn't begin with the bestselling book Fifty Shades of Grey. With respect to eBook erotica, there were writers, mostly women, writing erotic stories to be later sold on the internet, way before Fifty Shades of Grey came anywhere near the mainstream. In fact, women writing erotica began way before the Internet. Just google Anais Nin.

Events organized during the Climate Change Negotiations in Lima
I have just come back from the 20th session of the UNFCCC, which was held in Lima, Peru. I participated in, or organized, a whole bunch of events focusing on the various intersections between human rights and climate change. A particular highlight was an official UNFCCC side-event that I helped organize on public participation and climate governance. After a series of brief opening interventions from a variety of speakers, we broke out into discussion groups. I led a break-out group on the benefits of public participation for climate governance. I was quite pleased that our event on public participation was… participatory. This is a rarity in official UNFCCC side-events, which tend to feature large panels communicating knowledge in a uni-directional manner.
Comments on the Court Ordered Suspension Exploratory Work in Cacouna
I was quoted in an article in The Gazette today on the continuing fall-out relating to last week's court order suspending exploratory work by TransCanada to build a petroleum port in Cacouna, on the Saint Lawrence River. I pointed out that this episode reflects the failure of successive Quebec governments to enforce environmental laws in this province. The article can be found here.
Yale/UNITAR Conference on Human Rights and Environmental Sustainability
Over the past year, I served on the organising commitee of the 3rd Yale/UNITAR Conference on Environmental Governance & Democracy, which was held during the weekend of 5-7 September 2014 in New Haven, Connecticut. The conference brought together over 150 scholars, policy-makers, activists, and practitioners to discuss the role and contributions of human rights to environmental sustainability, the post-2015 development goals, and the future climate regime. I had the pleasure of moderating two panels at the conference on topics that fall within my research interests, namely the role of constitutional environmental rights in environmental law and policy and the relationship between human rights and climate governance. I also served on the closing panel for the conference and provided an overview of follow-up actions and lines of inquiry. The webpage for the conference can be found here and a brief summary prepared by IISD on the first day of the conference can be found here.
Appointment at McGill University
I am really excited and truly humbled to have just begun an appointment as an assistant professor at the Faculty of Law of McGill University. Click here for the announcement of my appointment.
Can Rights-Based Approaches Enhance Levels of Legitimacy and Cooperation in Conservation?
I have just published an article that draws on the relational theory of procedural justice in social psychology to explain whether and how rights-based approaches can enhance levels of legitimacy and cooperation in conservation initiatives in the September 2014 edition of the Human Rights Review. Here is the abstract:
Rights-based approaches (RBAs) are increasingly gaining favour among practitioners in the field of natural resource conservation and management. RBAs are a non-binding operational framework through which conservation actors can integrate human rights standards and principles into the design, planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of projects and programmes. In addition to promoting the human rights of local populations, it is also argued that RBAs may hold benefits for conservation initiatives. This article draws on existing research on the social psychology of procedural fairness to develop a relational account of how and whether RBAs may enhance levels of legitimacy and cooperation in conservation. This relational account stresses the importance of fair experiences for generating positive feelings of legitimacy and associated cooperative behaviour among individuals interacting with organisations or authorities. On the whole, this article suggests that if RBAs can ensure respect for the human rights of local populations, they have the potential to engender fair experiences and related positive institutional effects, thereby significantly strengthening the overall effectiveness of conservation initiatives.
Yale / UNITAR Workshop on Rights, Governance & Climate Change
I recently organized and moderated a one-day workshop on "Rights, Governance & Climate Change" as a parallel event to the 19th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Warsaw, Poland. The workshop was jointly hosted by the Governance, Environment & Markets Initiative at Yale University (GEM) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), in collaboration with the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw and the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL). The workshop convened over 50 scholars, policy-makers, practitioners, and stakeholders from a variety of fields and disciplines to examine how substantive and procedural rights can be used to support, design, and implement effective and equitable solutions to address climate change and related challenges at multiple levels of governance. The report posted here provides a brief overview of the discussions held during the workshop and outlines related outcomes and initiatives.
Guide on Economic Social and Cultural Rights and Climate Change
Along with Katherine Lofts, I have co-edited a new legal reference guide on the relationship between economic, social, and cultural rights and climate change released by the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law, Academics Stand against Poverty Network, and the Governance, Environment & Markets Initiative at Yale University.
The guide seeks to provide policy-makers, advocates, and experts with basic knowledge of obligations and principles related to international economic, social, and cultural rights, along with concrete examples of their relevance to climate change-related policy-making. It thus aims to ensure that governments continue to meet their obligations to respect, protect, and fulfill economic, social, and cultural rights in the context of new challenges brought by climate change, as well as to highlight opportunities for policy-makers worldwide.
The guide can be downloaded here.
Special Issue of the Canadian Journal of Poverty Law on Legal Empowerment of the Poor
Along with Sean Stephenson, I co-edited a special issue of the Canadian Journal of Poverty Law on legal empowerment of the poor in the context of sustainable development. The special issue provides a range of perspectives that address the nature, potential, and limitations of legal empowerment initiatives in the context of sustainable development. The entire special issue is available for free at: http://www.povertylaw.ca/
Sustainable Development, International Criminal Justice, and Treaty Implementation (CUP, 2013)
I have co-edited a new book with Cambridge University Press on the relationship between two important and dynamic fields of international law: international criminal justice and sustainable development. Here is the synopsis:
Comprised of chapters written by leading academics and international lawyers, this book examines how the principles and practices of international criminal law and sustainable development can contribute to one another's elaboration, interpretation, and implementation. Chapters in the book discuss the potential and limitations of international criminalization as a means for protecting the basic foundations of sustainable development; the role of existing international crimes in penalizing serious forms of economic, social, environmental, and cultural harm; the indirect linkages that have developed between sustainable development and various mechanisms of criminal accountability and redress; and innovative proposals to broaden the scope of international criminal justice. With its rigorous and innovative arguments, this book forms a unique and urgent contribution to current debates on the future of global justice and sustainability.

Annals editor announces retirement
Frank S. Davidoff, FACP, will retire as editor of Annals of Internal Medicine in July of next year.
Dr. Davidoff has been editor of Annals since 1995 and has worked for the College since 1989. "Editing Annals has been a fantastic experience," Dr. Davidoff said. "Leaving will be difficult.

College Executive Vice President Walter J. McDonald, FACP, said that Dr. Davidoff will be remembered for his innovations to the journal, including new editorial formats, Internet-based manuscript review systems, and launching the journal's Web site (www.annals.org).
A search committee chaired by former College Regent Jock Murray, MACP, and composed of College members, staff and Annals editorial board members, will consider appropriate candidates. Interested candidates should contact Guy Hudson, ACPASIM Director of Human Resources, at 215-351-2412.

Four of us went for dinner, usually a casual, relaxed place for a drink and ribs. But this Friday night we had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Once we placed the order, it took 90 minutes to get the food. The manager came over at my request and apologized and took off half the check and bought all... More
The outback has delicious food that is consistent. You can order steak, chicken or fish and it will taste exactly how you individually request it every single time. Call ahead during peak hours. The wait on weekends maybe long, but they hand out individual cups of blooming onions. The staff is young, courteous, and well trained.
We constantly order cheese fries to go........and that's about the only nice thing I can say about this Outback. First, curbside pick up is never timely as waits can exceed 45 minutes and then you still have to go in and get your food. Once you get your food home I hope you do not experience what we have NUMEROUS... More
My wife and I decided to use an Outback gift card here before some shopping in Oceanside. We were pleasantly surprised to find no waiting at 6 PM on a Wednesday evening because this Outback usually has long lines. We had a very enjoyable dinner with a bloomin' onion appetizer, pork chop for me, pecan blue cheese salad for for... More
This is one of my favourite restaurant chains. Always get a great meal with a really good menu, something for everyone. Good staff, good service, a good experience all round. About $30 per head but the steaks are lovely, the chicken good and the cocktails worth the trip.
The outback is the outback. We eat there at least once a month. The food is good. It is the same at each Outback. This location was renovated last month. The service is usually very good. The mamnager at this location is very attentive to the needs of the patrons.
We usually hate waiting at restaurants but we had a gift card to use so we said we'd endure the 1/2 hour to 45 minute wait. Ended up just 25 minutes, so we were ahead. Started off well when the waiter didn't turn up his nose when I said we're taking the 2 for $25 deal. My wife ordered a... More
One of the best things about this Outback is the friendly service. It really feels like our visit was appreciated and they were happy to see us. It's nice to see that the wait staff has longevity. We've seen the Gold sisters, Jillian and Shannon, there for several years. There was a bit of a wait to be seated, but... More
What can be said that isn't already known by anyone (which by now must be everyone) who's been to this chain restaurant? It's a pseudo-Aussie–themed steakhouse. You like it, or you don't. The food preparation in particular can be all over the place, from very accurate as ordered to way off the mark. So if you're in a hurry and... More
