Balance gives Green Wave Bracket 2 edge
Baylor, Oregon State, Texas and Tulane will take the field at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., on Saturday when day two of the College World Series gets under way. The quartet will compete in Bracket 2, with the winner meeting the Bracket 1 winner (Arizona State, Florida, Nebraska or Tennessee) in the best-of-three championship series, which begins Saturday, June 25.
Here's a quick look at the Bracket 2 teams.
Baylor Bears (44-22)
Manager Steve Smith finally gets Baylor to Omaha after losing in super regional Game 3s in 1999 and 2003.
|Bracket 2: Saturday schedule
Game 3
Oregon State-Tulane (ESPN, 2 ET)
Game 4
Texas-Baylor (ESPN, 7 ET)
Complete College World Series schedule
Josh Ford, who has eight homers and 40 RBI, serves as the main power source in an offense that favors the short game, putting runners in motion and collecting opportune hits. Few hitters have proven more opportune than outfielder Seth Fortenberry, who's batting below .200 on the year but hit three of his home runs in the Big 12 tournament, regionals and super regionals. Jeff Mandel stepped in at first base when Kyle Reynolds went down, adding homers in the regionals and super regionals.
Still, it all comes back to the pitching — Baylor held Clemson to one run in each of the final two super regional games (7-1 and 6-1 wins) — and a two-headed closer monster of Ryan LaMotta and Abe Woody. Baylor gets Texas first in Omaha. The Bears beat the Horns in all four games the schools played this year, but Texas has loads of CWS experience.
Oregon State Beavers (45-10)
Oregon State hasn't reached the College World Series in more than 50 years — not even a member of the Beavers' coaching staff was alive then. Plus, OSU was picked no better than seventh in a preseason poll of Pac-10 conference coaches. That should make this very strong Oregon State team one of the darlings of Omaha, where new blood always goes over well.
However, the Beavers haven't been tested on the road since an early April series win at Stanford, and they have little postseason experience. Oregon State's pitching ranks sixth nationally with a 3.08 ERA and tends to hold teams down long enough for a speed-oriented offense to force the action. Oregon State has shown more power in the postseason, including Andy Jenkins' cycle in the last game of the super regional.
A bracket of heavy-hitting offenses should prove a stern test as the Beavers look to continue their best season ever.
Texas Longhorns (51-16)
Texas punched its fourth straight ticket to the CWS with two more of the gutsy comeback performances that have defined the program under Augie Garrido. Texas faced and won five elimination games in regional and super regional play to make it to Omaha for a record 32nd time.
The Longhorns, who were 30-15 after rocketing out to a 21-1 start, rank fourth nationally in ERA and fielding percentage, and J. Brent Cox is a deluxe closer, though he's not as impenetrable as his predecessor, Huston Street.
Texas' offense has picked up in the postseason as Chance Wheeless and Will Crouch have provided needed power, while Carson Kainer and Nick Peoples brought consistency to the outfield corners.
Texas has shown limitless heart this season, but with just seven pitchers logging significant innings this season, the Longhorns actually enter Omaha as an underdog.
Tulane Green Wave (55-10)
Tulane has to enter Omaha as the favorite. The Green Wave's lack of postseason experience won't be a factor since only Texas returns from last year's CWS field (the first time only one team has returned since 1991). Plus, redshirt senior Scott Madden was on the 2001 CWS team. Tulane also proved its mettle by handling its greatest adversity, rallying to win the super regional against Rice.
Tulane's talent helped it rank among the nation's top 10 in batting (.321) and scoring (8.2) thanks to an offense with seven hitters that boast on-base percentages of .421 or better. Its defense also ranks among the top 15, and the deep pitching staff offers four quality starters, including two-way stars Brian Bogusevic (13-2) and Micah Owings (11-4).
The preseason No. 1 team, Tulane has played so well this year (losing consecutive games just twice), it will be a disappointment if the Green Wave can't reach the championship series.

Problem with mouse movement
I've been a fairly hardcore FPS player over the years (6+ years playing CS1.6, Quake 3, Painkiller, DoD, and CoD2/4), and recently have tried to move away from playing competitive games. I've tried to go back and clear out some of my one player game collection, and I'm starting with BioShock.
There is one problem, though. I remembered, 30 seconds in, why I quit playing in the first place. The mouse movement is just... horrendous. I've tried everything I can think of thus far.
The problem: whenever I move the mouse at all, the display on screen is delayed, sluggish, and just non-responsive. I'm getting good FPS (50-60, so high enough that it wouldn't have this effect), my temperatures are fine on my PC, and the sensitivity ingame feels appropriate. The problem still persists, though. I've tried removing CPL Mousefix (tried with and without), two different mice, with and without mouse drivers (I usually use none, but installed to try that as well), and messed with the settings for a couple hours. I still cannot get it to the point of even being fun to play.
I asked some friends about this and they said a lot of post-HL2 FPS games have this issue, and it is just the engine they run on/the way they were designed. I've never, however, had this problem with any game (I can run Crysis, Doom 3, HL2, Fallout 3, and other games fine, and the mouse feels fine).
Is there any fix for this, any suggestions, or anything at all? I really want to play the game, but as is, I don't see myself getting past the first 30 minutes... ever.
Are you still in the intro(Lighthouse)?
Because even if you crank up the sensitivity to maximum, it still acts kinda funky, I believe.
Get if for the 360 if you have one.
I know very little about solutions, so no help here.
The Official Gears 1 & CoD3 Achievement Glitcher Guy
I hate Gears 2 so much I won't glitch it anymore. Garbage game.
Is v-sync on?
In Bioshock, and a few others - vsync can give you really awful mouse lag - even with good framerates
Efficiency > Verbosity
If you've got Nvidia card then one thing you can try is lowering the "maximum number of pre-rendered frames" setting in Nvidia control panel / Manage 3D settings. Try 0 or 1. The default value of 3 seems to give at least 50ms lag which is clearly noticeable and exceedingly annoying. I think this setting has something to do with Nvidia trying to excel in benchmarks.
Nevertheless, the game has some genuine issues in mouse handling, as for me, the sensitivity changes completely when I toggle vertical sync setting in the game. Wish they'd fix it.

Here I am with another one-shot. A little shorter than the earlier ones, I think, but that's because this, in all honesty, is the earlier one. The original thread at PC, where I posted it, says May 23rd, 2009, meaning this is over two years old. Please direct any complaints towards my fourteen-year-old self. Any praise you may have can, er, come directly to me.
Haha, that aside, I've gone through this and given it a bit of a once-over in the last twenty minutes or so. I think it's up to my level now, though
it's still far too happy for my tastethere may be something I've missed. Don't be afraid to point these things out.
The reason I'm posting this now, you ask? Why, because I'm working on another one-shot right now which serves as . . . well, it's not exactly a sequel, but it kind of is. Perhaps more like a spiritual successor.
In any case, this fic is harmless, unlike some of my others. Nobody dies or even friggin' moves, for crying out loud. It's a little look at . . . friendship, that most mysterious of forces. Oh hey look, this was when I was using MS Word and had the Autocorrect set to 'Pokemon -> Pokémon'. :D
Something Will Be Born
The verdant greenness of the lush treeline contrasted sharply with the cool blue sky as Amity Square basked in another day of beautiful Sinnoh sunlight. A popular location with people and Pokémon alike, the park was – as was usual on a Sunday afternoon – filled with a large percentage of Hearthome City's population. Picnic blankets were spread, ice-cream stalls set up, and one had to be careful not to step on anyone.
Children happily played tag through the trees or football on the grass while excited Pokémon tried their best to join in. On the diamond at the west end of the park, the weekly junior baseball tournament was in full swing, drawing a large crowd of interested bystanders. The park was a riot of colour and noise, happily chaotic, yet exuding a general aura of contentment.
One person, however, was not here for the sun, the picnicking, or the baseball. A tall, blonde woman in a long black coat – despite the heat – was silently picking her way through the festive crowds, heading for the crumbling stone ruins in the very deepest part of the park. Cynthia, the reigning Champion of the Sinnoh League, felt as if she was being drawn to this place, called by a voice that she couldn't hear. She had been there many times before, and each time, she could hardly bear to leave.
One particular occasion, on a day much like this one, she had been challenged by a brash young Trainer named Paul. He had had potential; he could have become a great Trainer, but his battling style wouldn't allow it. He saw his Pokémon as tools, not equals. He had thrown them recklessly at her Garchomp, eventually losing four of his team without even leaving a mark on the ferocious Dragon-type. Wisely, though, he had thrown in the towel at that point. Perhaps there was hope for him after all. Knowing when to quit was an important skill for any Trainer.
Shaking her head, Cynthia tried to bring herself back to the here and now. The ruins were just ahead. Slowly, reverently, she ascended the steps toward the carving on the crumbling stone wall. As she stood before the arcane writing, she felt again the sense of powerlessness. Cynthia realised that she wasn't really here of her own volition. As with every time she stood at this spot, she knew that even though she had made the choice to come, she was not the instigator of the event. Who was? That was the greatest mystery of all. Was it the very beings that she had spent so much time trying to unravel the mysteries of? Were Dialga and Palkia trying to tell her something?
Hesitantly, Cynthia reached out a finger to touch the first letter. The cool stone sent a shiver down her spine as she traced her fingertip around the groove. Then the next, and the next, until she had finished the first word. Friend. Dropping her hand from the stone, Cynthia wondered. That one word, that solitary word, held so much meaning, so many lessons, combined in just six letters. It was a warning to everyone, telling the whole world to keep their loved ones close. It was a lesson, emphasising the frailty of life. It was a reassuring reminder that no matter how empty the world seemed, you were never alone. It was an island of warmth and familiarity in a cold, strange world.
Yet no matter how comforting the word normally was, standing unchanged on its rock for hundreds of years, maybe even more, at that moment Cynthia felt as if she was truly alone. This wasn't like her at all. She had wonderful friends, she knew that. She was grateful for them every day of her life. Normally, she was perfectly cheerful and in control. Now, however, she felt she was losing it all. Was it because her search for Dialga and Palkia was yielding no answers? Even though the Lustrous Orb had been found, no further clues had presented themselves.
Pull yourself together, girl, she told herself sharply. This isn't who you are! You're the Sinnoh League Champion, and with that office comes responsibility. You can't go off chasing moonbeams all the time!
Taking a deep breath, Cynthia gathered herself together and continued reading the inscription. She knew it off by heart by now, of course, but it was reassuring to see them written in front of her, as ageless and unchanging as the rock they were carved upon.
When every life
Meets another life
Something will be born.
Again, worlds of meaning in such a small package. It was true. Every day, Cynthia met plenty of new people. With each new contact, they added something to her life, and she felt sure she added something to theirs too. It was a never-ending cycle, and she realised suddenly that she didn't want it to end at all. There were so many people and Pokémon out there, just waiting to touch her life with theirs.
"Keep your friends close, Cynthia." Whirling on the spot, the Champion pressed a hand to her suddenly pounding heart, taking a deep breath as she recognised the newcomer: Lucian, the strongest of the Elite Four. Standing somewhat awkwardly amongst the trees in his expensive burgundy suit, a slim book tucked beneath his arm, Lucian looked just as out of place as he always did outside. Adjusting his glasses and brushing a strand of long, wavy purple hair out of his face, he smiled reassuringly.
"Lucian," Cynthia admonished him gently. "You startled me. Was I speaking out loud? Or did you just . . . read my mind?" she asked.
Lucian laughed gently. "No, Cynthia, I can't read minds. I can, however, read you. Like a book." He pulled the book out from under his arm and flicked through it as if to demonstrate his point, his thin fingers dancing lightly across the pages. "You came out here to ponder the meaning of those words again, didn't you?"
"I suppose . . ." she murmured. Lucian nodded as if he had expected nothing less.
"I worry about you, Cynthia, you know that?" he said, his voice losing its light, playful tone and taking on a note of concern. "You're different lately. It's like you're somebody else. What happened to your passion, Cynthia? You used to be so full of fervour, taking on everything headfirst. You had more fire than Flint did! But now, I don't know what's happened. You seem more like me now, prone to wandering off and wondering about things beyond your grasp. For me, that's just who I am. But you . . . This isn't you, Cynthia. Do you see what I'm trying to say?"
The truth was, she did. But . . . something inside her didn't want to accept it.
"Returning to my original point," Lucian continued, "you have many wonderful people in your life. You have something to live for! You are the Champion. You have the power to change people's lives for the better. All you have to do is come out of your shell!"
Come out of your shell.
But what if she didn't want to? What if all she wanted to do was stand here, in front of this wall, for the rest of her life? She could see herself doing it, too.
Come out of your shell.
He was right. She was being stupid. She had to realise what she'd done wrong. She had to turn herself around and face the world. Faintly, she realised that Lucian was talking again.
"But, that's not what I came here to tell you," he said, a slight flicker of amusement dancing in his eyes. "A kid with purple hair turned up at the League this morning, demanding to battle you. I take it he's challenged you before? Said his name was Pat or something . . ." He had got the name wrong on purpose, she knew. He was testing her, trying to make her react. Clenching her fists decisively, Cynthia looked straight into Lucian's eyes.
"His name's Paul," she said.
Lucian smiled. "That's it, Cynthia. Now come, you have a battle to win."
EDIT: Oh my God, I still remember the name of the episode where Paul battles Cynthia - Top-Down Training. Goodness! I haven't seen that episode for over two years, and I haven't even seen the name or anything since.

A method for making a perfluoroolefin polymer filament belt is disclosed. The belt is substantially free of stretching under typical conditions of use including application of heat and force to the belt. This characteristic is produced by the process which includes the steps of weaving a belt and thermally fixing the woven belt by heating to the filaments to their white point while applying a force to the load bearing filaments.
1. A process for making a substantially nonstretchable belt used in the manufacture of matt material, which comprises:
weaving poly (perfluoroolefin) monofilament at a load bearing filament content of about 15 to 200 and a non-load bearing filament content of about 15 to 200 filaments per inch with from 55 to 90% of the filaments being in the load bearing direction of the weave to produce a woven belt; and
thermally fixing said belt by applying a force of 5 PLI to 30 PLI to the belt in the load bearing direction while heating said belt to a temperature substantially close to the white point for about 10 seconds to 30 min to produce a substantially thermally stable belt.
2. A process according to claim 1 further comprising finishing said belt by surfacing said belt surface to substantially remove surface irregularities.
3. A process according to claim 1 wherein the belt is thermally fixed by heating at a temperature of 500� to 600� F. for 10 seconds to 5 minutes while applying a force of 2 PLI to 500 to the load bearing filaments and applying little force to the non-load bearing filaments so as to produce controlled transfer of crimp from the load bearing filaments to the non-load bearing filaments.
4. A process according to claim 1 wherein about 2 to 25% crimp is transferred from the load bearing to the non-load bearing filaments during thermal fixation.
5. A process according to claim 1 wherein the weave pattern used is multilayered, crimp intensive, contains a predominant percentage of filaments in the load bearing direction, and each pair of adjacent non-load bearing filaments cooperate to prevent the corresponding load bearing filament around which they are woven, from being capable of adopting a straight configuration.
6. A process according to claim 1 wherein the weaving step is performed by applying a loom tension significantly lower than the filament yield point of the non-load bearing filaments.
7. A process according to claim 1 wherein the weaving produces from 10 to 200 load bearing filaments per inch and 10 to 200 non-load bearing filaments per inch.
8. A process according to claim 1 wherein the belt is produced is endless.
9. A substantially nonstretchable belt for manufacture of matt material, which comprises:
a multilayer woven fabric of poly(perfluoroolefin) monofilament having about 15 to 200 load bearing filaments and 15 to 200 non-load bearing filaments per inch with from 55 to 90% of the filaments of the weave being load bearing filaments; a load bearing crimp of from 1% to 30%, the total load and non-load bearing crimp being from 5 to 35% and a regular pattern of load and non-load crimp knuckles; and wherein at least 80% of the non-load bearing crimp has been developed by crimp interchange from the load bearing crimp; at least 2 percent of the crimp knuckles have been been transferred from the load bearing to the non-load bearing filaments; the air permeability of the fabric is from 50 to 2000 cu. ft. per min. per sq. ft. of fabric at a pressure drop of 0.5 inches of water; and portions of the filaments at the knuckle junctions between the load and non-load filament directions are permanently shape deformed so as to adopt a sharply bent conformation and provide mechanical interlocking of the filaments.
10. A belt according to claim 9 wherein the filaments have been mechanically and thermally fixed to provide permanent shape deformation in the form of high frequency, high amplitude, sharp sinusoidal configurations.
11. A largely nonstretchable belt for use in the manufacture of matt materials, which comprises:
a woven fabric of poly (perfluoro olefin) monofilament having a 15 to 200 load bearing filaments per inch, 15 to 200 non-load bearing filaments per inch; a crimp of 5-35%; an air permeability of 50 to 2000 cu. ft. per min. per sq. ft of fabric at a pressure drop of 0.5 inches of water, and which is produced by the process according to claim 1.
12. A belt made by the process according to claim 1.
13. A belt according to claim 9 which is endless.
14. A belt according to claim 11 which is endless.
The present invention relates to a substantially non-stretchable belt made of poly(perfluoro-olefin) filament.
The manufacture of products such as non-wovens, textiles, paper, building materials, filtration products and the like is accomplished by formation of a matt of component materials, which may be but are not necessarily fibers, and interbonding of the materials to produce the product. The matt is typically formed, conveyed or transferred on a belt and it is upon the belt that processing of the matt to the final product is accomplished. This may take the form of forming, drying, bonding, heating, pressing and other common processing steps.
The belt must be capable of supporting the matt, withstanding the conditions of the processing steps, causing substantially few impressions upon the matt surface and be long wearing. Belts used for this purpose can be made of woven wire such as bronze or stainless steel or can be woven from synthetic fibers and filaments such as polyester or bicomponent filaments; see for example U.S. Pat. No. 4,112,982; U.S. Pat. No. 4,086,941; U.S. Pat. No. 4,041,989 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,858,623. These belts exhibit durability characteristics, do not substantially stretch and can be made with a weave which permits passage of an adequate volume of air.
These known belts, however, have several disadvantages. Processing temperatures will be limited by the servicable temperature range of the yarns used to make the belts and this will adversely affect productivity and product parameters. The materials used in the matt making also are able to adhere to the belts, thus contaminating them. This requires that the production lines must be periodically shut down in order to clean the belts. Moreover, some products, such as paper and asphalt contaminate them in such a way that they can not be effectively cleaned. Such belts are also subject to chemical and thermal degradation in the process environment. Finally, they often are effective heat conductors since metal wire, filament or thermal conducting yarn is often used to weave them. Accordingly, they cause significant radiative energy loss during processing operations such as heating, drying and the like.
It is, therefore, an object of the invention to develop a belt which resists contamination by the matt it carries. Another object is the production of a long wearing, durable, substantially nonstretchable belt. A further object is the development of a belt which is not substantially thermally conductive and which can operate at higher service temperatures.
These and other objects are achieved by the present invention which is directed to a substantially nonstretchable belt of woven poly(perfluoroolefin) monofilament. Specifically, the belt is manufactured from a poly(perfluoroolefin) such as poly(perfluoroalkoxy) (i.e. Teflon PFA, a trademark of the Dupont Co.) through a process which renders the belt largely free of significant stretching under conditions used in the manufacture of the foregoing products.
The belt is a crimp intensive, multi-weave fabric of poly (perfluoroolefin) monofilament having about 15 to 200 load bearing filaments per inch and about 15 to 200 non-load bearing filaments per inch. The belt has a load bearing filament crimp of about 4% to 30% and a non-load bearing filament crimp of 1% to 30%, the total non-load and load crimp being from 5 to 35% wherein at least about 80% of the non-load bearing crimp is developed by crimp interchange from the load bearing filaments. The belt further has an air permeability of 50 to 2000 cu. ft. per min. per sq. ft. of fabric at a pressure drop of 0.5 inches of water. Finally, the belt fabric filaments are periodically and permanently bent in a high frequency, high amplitude sinusoidal-like configuration of sharp angles which causes mechanical interlocking of the filaments. These angles are primarily located within the filament junctions between the load and non-load filaments.
The inventive process for making the belt produces the nonstretchability characteristic exhibited by the belt even though the monofilament used to make the belt is highly stretchable. The process includes the steps of weaving poly (perfluoroolefin) monofilament of about 15 to 200 filaments per inch and a shute count of about 15 to 200 filaments per inch to produce a woven belt, and thermally fixing the belt by applying a force of 2 PLI to 50 PLI to it in the load bearing direction while simultaneously heating it to a temperature which is substantially close to the white point temperature of the monofilament. The thermal fixation is carried out for about 10 seconds to 30 minutes, preferably about 10 seconds to 5 minutes.
The white point temperature is the temperature at which the surface of a monofilament strand turns white and shows strain lines when it sharply curves over another object as a force is applied to the two ends of the filament and it is heated. This temperature will be within a range of 150� C. to 300� C. or 300� to 600� F.
Additional steps for the manufacture of the belt can also be used. These include finishing and surfacing the thermally fixed belt to substantially remove any surface irregularities.
The poly(perfluoroolefin) belt of the present invention is prepared by a process which renders it substantially free of stretching or elongation even though the monofilament used to make the belt is highly stretchable. This allows use of the belt at temperatures approaching 600� F. Moreover, the belt possesses high release characteristics and extremely low chemical reactivity such that it remains substantially free of contamination during its use and does not substantially react chemically with products it carries.
It is understandable that a manufacturing belt made of a synthetic polymer of a perfluoroolefin such as perfluoroalkoxy would possess many advantages as a result of the perfluoroolefin characteristics. The high release character of the polymer as well as its lubricating, insulating qualities, chemical inertness and thermal stability would make the belt highly resistant toward contamination, and chemically unreactive. It also would permit facile removal of product matt, and would allow use of high operating temperatures.
Despite these features, however, polymers of perfluoroolefin, have a characteristic which, until development of the present invention, has prevented their use as the sole filament of a belt for non-woven material manufacture. Filaments of poly(perfluoroolefin) are highly stretchable. For example, granular resin poly perfluoroethylene exhibits an elongation of 100-200% at 23� C.; see Kirk-Othmer "Encyclopedia Of Chemical Technology" 3rd Ed., Vol 11, p. 9, Wiley, N.Y. (1980); and poly (perfluoroalkoxy) filament "Teflon� PFA", a DuPont product, having an 8 mil or 25 mil caliper (DuPont Technical Bulletin, 1982) exhibits an elongation of 16% to 24% at 22� C. and at the breaking force point. Consequently, a belt made with a perfluoroolefin would be expected to undergo significant elongation (stretch) when used on an industrial matt manufacturing machine, such as a paper making machine. In fact this has been found to be true. A belt, which has been woven in typical fashion from polyperfluoroolefin filament, can not be used as a material manufacturing machine belt.
Indeed, a perfluoroolefin belt with nonstretchable properties has been a goal of many manufacturers. In general, however, these earlier attempts have used a polyperfluoroethylene monofilament as a replacement for wire or polyester filament. Such belts have proved to be failures primarily because of stretching. A polyperfluoroethylene belt woven in a manner similar to a wire belt, i.e. with an open mesh single layer weave, typically stretches so much after 10-20 minutes of use that it falls off the processing machine.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the process of the present invention can be used to manufacture a substantially non-stretchable poly(perfluoroolefin) belt from poly (perfluoroolefin) filament having a significant elongation factor. The belt prepared according to the invention shows little elongation under usual non-woven material manufacturing machine conditions including heat and tension.
Generally according to the invention, belt resistance toward stretching is obtained by incorporation of the following factors: (1) production of a crimp intensive weave; (2) employment of a weave having a load bearing system orientation; (3) use of thermal fixation for increased mechanical and thermal stability; and (4) employment of a weave construction having controlled crimp interchange. The two primary factors are the type of weave and thermal fixation.
The weave generally is a multi-layer type which is formed with a crimp intensive pattern. The crimp pattern and the resulting crimp knuckles are produced by the alternating over and under arrangement of overlapping load and non-load filaments. The crimp knuckles exhibit sharp angles rather than wave-like forms. The knuckle configuration in cross section is a high frequency, high amplitude sinusoidal pattern.
Thermal fixation transfers part of the crimp and a portion of the knuckles of the load bearing filaments of the belt to the non-load bearing filaments, locks the weave and in part provides thermal stabiity. Fixation causes the non-load bearing filaments to shrink in and take up the crimp being transferred from the load bearing filaments. It is believed that the softness of the filament and the force being applied to the crimp knuckle junctions between the load bearing and non-load bearing filaments combine to produce permanent partial deformation of the shape of the load bearing and non-load bearing filaments at portions of the crimp knuckle junctions. The filament portions within these areas become permanently bent with sharp curves and interlock to provide mechanical strength. The interlocking, however, is believed to be loose enough so that flexibility of the belt is maintained.
The processing steps for belt production according to the invention include: weaving the monofilament and thermal fixation of the belt. Supplemental, optional steps include surfacing and seaming.
Weaving the monofilament into a belt may follow any crimp intensive pattern designed to compensate for flattening of the resulting fabric and to build structural stability into the fabric. Generally, such weaves will be multi-layer patterns. The percentage of load bearing filaments in the weave pattern, i.e., those which will run in the machine direction when the belt is mounted on a manufacturing machine will be within a range of 55 to 90%.
A typical multiple weave used according to the invention will have from 15 to 200 filaments per inch in the load bearing direction and 5 to 200 filaments per inch in the non-load bearing direction. Generally, about 55% to 90% of the total number of filaments should be in the load bearing direction. During thermal fixation the load bearing filaments will be stretched at least about 5-15%.
Weaving can be accomplished on any loom designed to weave multiple harness fabrics and apply relatively low filament tension. Filaments should be tensioned to a force greater than zero but less than an amount which will cause excessive stretching.
As a result of weaving, the surface of the woven fabric will exhibit a regular pattern of load bearing and non-load bearing filament junctions. The load bearing filaments take an overall high frequency, high amplitude sinusoidal configuration as they pass first over then under non-loading bearing filaments. The curve of the filament as it rests at the surface of the fabric and then descends is a filament crossover. A non-load bearing filament will lie under the crest of a sinusoidally configured load bearing filament. The regular arrangement of crests are the imprinting pattern of the fabric. The crests are known in the art as "knuckles."
The knuckles constitute the fabric (belt) points on which the material carried by the fabric (belt) would rest. Consequently, release from these knuckles will determine the ease with which the material can be removed from the belt. The knuckles will also leave an imprint pattern upon the material as a result of the downward force of the material weight pushing the material into the valleys between the knuckles. Accordingly, it is also important that the interknuckle distances are small enough that the material does not take on a heavy imprint. Ideally, the weave pattern will produce interknuckle distances which are small enough to allow material support by the knuckle crests. This will also facilitate easy material release.
The tension applied to the filaments during weaving should be sufficient to allow the insertion of the shute material but low enough to prevent substantial stretching. Typically, the loom tension will be significantly lower than the filament yield point. This condition can be met through use of a tension from about 10 to 100 pounds per lineal inch and preferrably about 40. In contrast, normal tension used to weave a multilayer fabric would be considerably higher.
The crimp is another feature of the weave pattern which builds stability into the fabric belt. Crimp is the apparent shortening for a filament as a result of its sinusoidol configuration. A filament of, for example, 108 ft in length may have an apparent end to end length of 100 ft when woven. This would be a crimp of 8%. The extra 8 ft is taken up by the sinusoidol or curved path followed by the filament. For purposes of the invention, the weave pattern should produce a load bearing crimp of from about 5 to 35%.
Thermal fixing is the second step of the process which provides stability to the belt fabric. Thermal fixation causes crimp interchange and redistributes knuckles from the load bearing filaments to the non-load bearing filaments. The crimp and knuckle transfer is both thermal and mechanical. The belt is heated to its white point temperature which softens it and reduces its resistance toward bending. Simultaneously, a load or force is applied to the load bearing filaments while allowing the non-load bearing filaments to remain in a relaxed state. As a result, the filaments fix and become thermally and dimensionally stable. It is believed that the knuckle redistribution mechanically strengthens the fabric by interfilament mechanical locking around the knuckle junctions. The deformation of the filaments is believed to promote substantially the dimensional stability of the fabric. The load and heat requirements for the thermal fixation should be controlled with substantial care so that the physical characteristics of the filament are not substantially affected.
To achieve acceptable thermal fixation it is important to choose a weave pattern which will control the transfer of crimp from the load bearing to the non-load bearing filaments. The weave providing such control will be tight and create a restrictive filament path with respect to how much crimp will transfer. Generally, this weave will be arranged so that the load bearing filaments can never be pulled to a degree which would make them completely straight, i.e., having no crimp. Essentially, this requires that two adjacent non-load bearing filaments, around which a load bearing filament is woven, cooperate and work together to prevent the load bearing filament from becoming straight.
The conditions for thermal fixation have already been explained. Generally, applying a force to the load bearing filaments while heating the fabric to a temperature substantially close to the white point serves to provide thermal fixation. The force, temperature and time of fixation will usually be within the following ranges: a force of 2 PLI to 50 PLI, a temperature of 300� to 600� F., preferably 500� F. to 570� F. and a time period of 10 seconds to 15 minutes.
Practically negligible force is applied to the non-load bearing filaments during thermal fixation so that they will be free to curve sinusoidally in response to the straightening of the load bearing filaments. Consequently, crimp is also at least partially transferred from the load filaments to the non-load filaments. Generally the load bearing dimension will be expanded from 5 to 25% while the run dimension will contract from 5 to 35% with about 7 to 25% being preferred for both changes.
An effect of thermal fixation is contraction of the fabric weave pattern so that the filaments are closer together than can be achieved by the weaving process. Nevertheless, the air permeability of the thermally fixed weave will be high, within a range of from 50 to 2000 cubic feet per min. per sq. ft. of fabric at a pressure drop of 0.5 inches of water. This permeability is caused by vertical or meandering interfilament spaces passing through the weave from the top surface to the bottom. Accordingly, liquids and air will pass through the belt.
It is believed that thermal fixation causes interfilament permanent shape deformation of the filaments at the knuckle junctions. This interdirectional shape deformation does not involve autogeneous point bonding, however. Consequently, it does not affect the flexability of the fabric. It does, however, generate dimensional stability for the fabric by mechanically interlocking the filaments and helps prevent belt elongation during use.
Surfacing is an optional step which may be performed to correct imperfections in the belt fabric. Surfacing proceses include such methods as sanding, compressing, calendaring and the like. For example, sanding corrects belt surface imperfections by making the surface flatter. It removes portions of the filaments at the crests of the knuckles and makes the surface more uniform. Since it lessens the diameter of the filaments at the crests, it can weaken the strength of the overall fabric. Consequently, it should only be used when the surface of the fabric varies greatly.
The following examples illustrate embodiments of the invention and are not meant as limiting. Other examples will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Five examples of belt fabrics were prepared according to the following procedure. The filament, manufacturing and fabric parameters are given in Table 1.
Poly(perfluoroalkoxy) filament was woven on a commercial loom into a fabric of dimensions 160'�54" and employing a multilayer weave pattern. The loom tension employed was 23-45 pli warp and 150 gm shute tension.
The fabric was then heat set by applying a tensioning force of 5 PLI to 30 PLI to the load bearing filaments while heating the top of the fabric to a temperature of 500� to 600� F. for 1 to 2 minutes. This procedure transferred about 15% of the crimp to the run filaments and provided a percent change in dimension of 5% length and 25% width. The fabrics were then seamed to make them endless and finished by light sanding.
The endless belts were then fitted to a pilot machine and subjected to the conditions required for substrate formation.

Can I leave the Daily Paul in your hands?Submitted by Michael Nystrom on Fri, 08/22/2014 - 02:12
If I had to go away and do some other things. Can I trust you to be a grownup now? Can I trust the passengers of the ark not to attack one another?
I think of the Daily Paul as the watering hole in an arid desert. All the animals come around to drink - the lions and other animals of prey, as well as the zebras, and deer or whatever. They don't attack each other - not at the watering hole. It is one thing that they all have in common. They all have thirst.
At the Daily Paul, we all have thirst. The thirst is good natured, and well intentioned. Those are the kinds of people that I like to see, and that is why it hurts so much when that is taken advantage of. But that seems to be the way of our hypercompetitive world. Aim for the weak spot, and then plunge.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
If anyone is going to change it, it has to be me. I am the captain of this ark, and the ark is as real as can be.
This is a real feeling, expressed as best as possible in a Hollywood movie. It is a real feeling. I've felt it. But in this day and age of snark, how does one express it without getting snickered at?
We're all thirsty. We're thirsty for something that we barely even know exists. It has been so far submerged by popular culture that it is nearly dead, so fully twisted and distorted by consumerism that we barely know its true meaning, if at all.
It is love. That is why I put a flashing banner at the top of the website, repeating it. There is joy in repetition.
A heart of peace. A heart of gold. A heart of love. Strive for that.
Even if you simply strive for it, I know that I can leave the site in your hands, while I go do what I need to do.
Can you remember the Message? Can you be it before you preach it?
Can I leave the Daily Paul in your hands?

The problem i see ahead is
The problem i see ahead is its the 2 year annv. Of the 2012 RNC and that means 2 years till a new nominee is picked and less then a year till the primary is in full swing . i would predict rand announces by new years 2015 .
Some of us are already in campaign mode , what will make this Paul presidential run different is the DP wont be a sanctuary to rest and regroup after fighting trolls and spreading the message and pushing our guy , instead after a long day of that we will come back here to find the comments we need a break from - " its all rigged " " he cant win " " hes not ron paul " " its pointless to even vote " maybe even a few " i like everything about him except his foreign policy " or " rand paul is batshit crazy "
The first two years fine , debate kick scratch whatever i could care less, it took me a little bit but rand earned me back , i get it and ill be pushing as hard for him as i did Ron , i already do . i dont expect everyone to understand that but it would be nice to not have legs tryng to trip us constantly in this effort i mean geez a campaign is hard enough as it is .
as it is now i dont see the ark making it through , i think hitting a port and picking up new members was great , or picking up us guys who have always been around but only lurked .
so i guess what im wanting to say is i think the only way the DP makes it and doesnt implode is if it installs a plank and at a certain point , if youre not here to get Rand Paul elected then those people should walk it .
Whose Ark is it, anyway?
Michael's Ark has always been a sanctuary and gathering place for those who love liberty and peace. It remains to be seen whether Rand Paul is on board with that, or not.
Electing slightly-less-evil politicians is a guaranteed losing strategy for freedom.
Recommended reading: The Most Dangerous Superstition by Larken Rose
Slightly less evil or
Slightly less evil or slightly less perfect ?
I think 95% constitutional voting is pretty good , who are you pushing in the primary ? Thomas massie ?? He's the only one at 100% constitutional voting .
I think letting someone win who has a 40% voting record rather then in the 90s would be what i consider the losing strategy .
Rand is awesome , he won me over , you must have donated alot to the moneybombs and decided to hold a grudge forever because if you havent seen the good stuff rand is doing by now you never will .
But this is what im talking about , i dislike the thought of having to waste my time in a conversation like this everyday when im trying to help campaign 2015-2016 , i want a DP sanctuary for people who are campaigning , since i know DP probably wont be that this election ill most likely just walk the plank myself
So I'm fussy.
I contributed and spent upwards of $10,000 and a hell of a lot of time and effort to Ron Paul's two Presidential campaigns. I also contributed to Rand's campaign, when he was running for Senate. He's done some good things, and I'd LIKE to believe that his recent suck-up to Israel and the warmongers is just electioneering, public relations bullsh't. But there's a problem there: if he makes a pitch convincing enough to win over the Israel-firsters, it's ALSO going to be convincing enough to alienate the hard-core anti-war folks like me. Personally, I'm not going to support ANYONE who favors the continuation of our belligerent foreign policy, whether they do so in a "constitutional" manner or not. I don't vote for wannabe mass murderers, especially those who "stand with Israel." Israel is the ONE country with whom we probably should be at war, or should at least suffer draconian sanctions pending payment of reparations for their role in the 9/11 attack. Come election day, I'll likely vote for a Libertarian, to keep the blood off my hands. But that's just me. Others may not be so fussy.

I dont care where you throw
I dont care where you throw your vote , im worried about where youll be throwing your monkey wrench because i have a feeling you and many like you plan on throwing it in the engine thats decided they will push Paul .
Its kinda that whole freedom to do what you want so long as youre not getting in the way of others freedom thing ya know
As for the rest of your post thank you for donating so much $ i didnt get near that number , i did dedicate my everyday though just like many have , it wasnt a loss , america has become anti war , they filming police and starting to learn their rights . i think the time and money was well spent .
So what about syria , didnt rand have a had in stopping that ? Hasnt he asked for congressional approval on even air strikes in iraq ? I know he has said a few suspect things but we all know this quote " i like ron paul but not on foreign policy , i could never vote for him " its gonna be the same in 2016 and i dont beg rand to commit suicide , america is so fucking pro israel its not even funny ! It pisses me off but its silly to think he could do anything about it unless he was in office , for some its a leap of faith for other its obvious for me i saw him vote iron dome which is defense not offense , his stand with israel bill was opposed by aipac , democrats and republicans , i just dont see the whole rand loves israel bit , some people sound like jealous bfs , i assure you rand isnt sleeping with israel behind your back despite the occassional flirting we see , he is leading her on .
Have a good trip Michael
But let us know when you are coming back OK?
It can't be any worse than the whole US trusting Congress, can it?
I hope you enjoy your break, I enjoy mine.
True wealth is our time, and our health.

Is it a coincidence that the more monitors you get and the more "you" have to "save" us from ourselves or "right the ship", the worse this website gets? This place seems like a prime example of free markets turning into controlled markets. When i came here 7 years ago this place was a beacon of opinions, truth, and all things liberty. But it seems to get more and more controlled by our "saviors" because you guys "know better than us" and it seems to have just gone downhill from there. Just my opinion and i could possible not have a clue what im talking about but thats how it feels to me
Here here!
I completely agree.
Reading Michael's post I will say the "thirst" is for "truth" and sometimes the "truth" hurts. Good humor is a symptom of being good natured. If you consider this ship an ark of sorts, Noah didn't take trolls on the ark. So if "truth" quenches the "thirst", then dark remarks which point to even "deeper truths" of known "subterfuge" must be made. It's the only way the true waters of liberty can run free.
Free debate is a series of jabs.
By the way, the audio for this youboob clip sucks.

Civility at the watering hole
Civility at the watering hole depends on a couple of things. If DP is without you and mods this will be a truly incredible experiment. I have strong opinions on what would happen but will zip it for now.
With mods still in place though, they have a toolbox to deal with incivility and not much would change.
Oddly, what I'm most concerned about is whether you the commenter will still be around. When I've upvoted or replied positively to your comments it's been to amplify an opinion I'm not hearing anywhere else! Recent example:
Hope you still comment.
10-15 million more voters need to believe in non-interventionism (liberty) at home and abroad to change America. Minds changed on Syria. Minds changing on privacy. "Printing money" is part of the dialogue. Win minds through focus, strategy.
Sure you can Michael
oh, and its a trip seeing some old names pop up recently like fishyculture and legalizeliberty, welcome back folks!
Anyways, back to putting the DP in our hands.....

Thank you for taking the chance. Do what you feel is right, and trust that the intentions you have poured into this place will continue to steer the craft in your absence.
Will try to get bee video up next week, but if you are going on walkabout you should come see for yourself. Can't taste the honey in a video!

If nothing else it will certainly clear up one of the DP's
ongoing disputes:
Does anarchy work?
I guess it is up to the anarchists on here to make sure it does to prove their point.
But really, when I look back at my youth and all the fighting me and my brothers did(and coming from an Irish family with four boys - that was a lot of fighting) sometimes the best we got along was when mom and dad stopped telling us to get along. We would have one BIG fight, then all would be good - instead of a bunch of little fights going on and on.
I am sure there will be some fighting, but in the end, maybe its one big fight that needs to be had so we can get back to important things.
Anarchy doesn't work.
Anarchy doesn't work. Minarchy does.
From the heart
I joined the Daily (Ron) Paul six years ago and loved it because the DP supported the character and belief system of Ron Paul --I met Ron Paul several times over the years and I can truthfully say I love him because of his character and belief system in humanity, truth and honesty. Today, I feel the DP is moving away from those values for the most part. It is no longer the Daily (Ron) Paul, it is evolving into the Daily (Rand) Paul, even with the guidence of Michael. IMO, Rand is the polar opposite of his father Ron on most issues dear to me. Without your guidence Michael, only God knows what views or who the DP will support in the future. Regardless of the future of the DP, thank you for all you have done in the past. Best regards.
guidence of Michael
I've been doing my best to keep up with Michael Nystrom's OP and comments on this issue...believe there needs to be a Ron(not Rand) Paul type anchor here. I respect Mr. Nystrom's desire to get away, though.

I disagree it's becoming the Daily (Rand) Paul. There is still a wide range of opinions here and enough disagreement to power us for the next ten years.
