I agree with letter writer Cameron Triplett. At the local level we should not have parties, but vote for the man.
Now in Aug. 2 primary we are strapped into voting by party.

My husband and I with four friends enjoyed a fabulous vacation through Aer Lingus in Oct,2011. Customer service answered questions in advance, Dan Dooley car rental was great. As a matter of fact it was the first time we had no issues with renting a car in Europe. The Aer Lingus flight was perhaps the most comfortable we have had on our many trips to Europe. We stayed at Adare Manor, which was beautiful and provided a great base for day trips. Everything went smoothly on the trip and I have recommended using Aer Lingus to many, many family & friends. The icing on the cake was the beauty of Ireland and the warm & friendly people we encountered. Definitely first class.

Home > Press > Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Announces Several Oil/Gas Projects in Asia with their Patented Nansulate(R) Thermal Insulation and Corrosion Prevention Coatings
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (OTC-PINK:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, today announced that the Company's Nansulate(R) clear thermal insulation and corrosion protection coatings have passed the testing phase by one of Asia's largest oil and gas companies. Nansulate(R) was applied to a fuel oil storage tank on an offshore oil platform and the performance observed over an extended period of time. Nansulate(R) achieved excellent results for both thermal insulation and corrosion resistance. It also provided better resistance to the offshore environment than traditional forms of insulation. Subsequently, Nansulate(R) has been chosen for initial trials on several more projects in the oil and gas and chemical manufacturing markets in Asia. The projects consist of applications over pipes, tanks, valves, pumps, and other chemical and refinery equipment, and encompass six major Asian companies and their subsidiaries.
"Our patented technology is unmatched for providing durable insulation and corrosion prevention that will not degrade in harsh environments, such as marine, offshore, or manufacturing facilities," stated Francesca Crolley, V.P. Business Development, Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "When calculating insulation performance, the longevity and consistency of insulation performance in harsh environments is often a value left unstated by traditional forms of insulation. This is because fibrous insulations degrade rather quickly in environments where they are subject to moisture, salt spray, and humidity, and have to be replaced often, in addition to causing corrosion issues. Our next generation technology, which has been saving energy around the world since 2004, combines the performance and adhesion strength of a marine quality coating with powerful thermal performance and corrosion resistance, and maintains its performance level over its lifespan of a decade or more, which is a key reason that several oil and gas and petrochemical companies are seeking our technology to provide better solutions for insulation of pipelines, tanks, and other equipment, not only in Asia, but also in other regions of the world."
About Industrial Nanotech, Inc.
Industrial Nanotech Inc. is a global nanoscience solutions and research leader and member of the U.S. Green Building Council. The Company develops and commercializes new and innovative applications for sustainable nanotechnology which have been sold worldwide since 2004.
About Nansulate(R)
Nansulate(R) thermal insulation and asset protection coatings provide energy savings, thermal insulation, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and other protective benefits. The coatings are low VOC, water-based, and sustainable. You can learn more about Nansulate coatings for industry at www.nansulate.com/industry.

You have searched for Meerut airport
- If Bikaner has airport , so must Meerut: RLD
The Rashtriya Lok Dal on Friday lashed out at the state government and accused it of giving a "step-motherly treatment" to the people of western UP. Earlier, this month, the Akhilesh Yadav government after a cabinet meeting had decided to cancel the memorandum of understanding (MoU) it had signed with the central government two years ago for the development of airstrips in Meerut, Moradabad and Faizabad. The MoU was signed under the UPA government at the Centre when RLD chief Ajit Singh was minister for civil aviation.
- Slap NSA on Dayashankar: Meerut advocates
Meerut: Angry over BJP's Uttar Pradesh vice-president Dayashankar Singh's "prostitute" remark on BSP supremo Mayawati, city advocates protested at the Commissionary crossing on Friday and demanded that National Security Act (NSA) be slapped on Singh. Advocate Jaydev Singh, said, "The central government should take swift action against Dayashankar Singh. How can anybody pass derogatory remarks against women and get away with it so easily? Strict action should be taken against him and case under National Security Act (NSA) should be slapped against him." On Wednesday Dayashankar Singh kicked off a row by saying "when it comes to distribution of BSP tickets, Mayawati's conduct is worse than a sex worker." "Mayawati's conduct is worse than a prostitute when it comes to distributing party tickets, as she sells BSP seats to the highest bidder. In the morning, Mayawati may give a BSP ticket to someone for Rs 1 crore. After two hours, she may sell the same ticket for Rs 2 crore. In the evening, she may even hand over the same seat to another person for Rs 3 crore," Dayashankar Singh had said. Though BJP was quick to remove him from the party for six years, BSP leaders demanded that Dayashankar be arrested. BSP workers on Thursday staged a protest in Lucknow's Hazratganj area demanding the arrest of BJP leader Dayashanakar Singh for making derogatory remarks against Mayawati. The leaders were pacified only after police promised that Singh would be arrested within 36 hours. Meanwhile, student leaders in Meerut took out a 'shav yatra' (funeral procession) of Dayashankar Singh and demanded that he be arrested with immediate effect.
- Route diversions in place for Eid in Meerut

Diversions have also been put into place for buses of the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC).
- Meerut boy secures AIR 17 in NEET
Meerut: The much awaited result of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2016 was announced on Tuesday evening, after which city boy Priyaz Mishra was the talk of the town. The 18-year-old secured a top-20 rank in the competitive examination, firmly placed at 17 on the rank list. More than eight lakh candidates had registered for the exam of whom 4.09 lakh qualified the test. In UP, more than 1 lakh candidates took the exam at 15 centres. "I dropped for a year to finally get this rank and score. Last year my score dropped after the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) paper was leaked. I didn't score enough in the retest that we had to take. But that only gave me an impetus to getting better at my preparation. I really gave it my all in the past year," said an ecstatic Priyanz. While Priyaz scored 662 out of 720 in NEET, he scored 146/180 in Physics, 175/180 in Chemistry and 341/360 in Biology. A pass out from St. Mary's Academy, Priyaz has been an outstanding student throughout his academic life with a 96% in Class X (2013) and 90% in Class XII (2015). More than eight lakh candidates had registered for the exam of whom 4.09 lakh qualified the test, according to an official release issued by the Central Board of Secondary Education, which conducted the exam in two phases across 1,040 centres in 52 cities. In UP , more than 1 lakh candidates took the exam at 15 centres. "I took external help from tutors for all my subjects. While that did help me a lot, I ensured I left enough time for self-studying. I was very regular in covering all subjects by myself after they had been taught to me during my tution class," he said. Priyaz's father RR Mishra is a radiation safety officer at Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial (LLRM) Medical college and his mother Dr. Preeti Mishra is a professor at a private college. "At this rank, there are chances that I will get Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi. I'm keeping my fingers crossed," said Priyaz. CBSE announced the combined results of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) - phase I and II on Tuesday - a day before the scheduled declaration of results. The Supreme Court had earlier directed the Board to put the results online on or before August 17, 2016. Het Shah of Nadiad, Gujarat topped the exams scoring 685 out of 720, followed by Ekansh Goyal with 685 from Rourkela, Odisha. The third spot was secured by Nikhil Bhajiya with a score of 678 marks. 19,325 students have qualified in the top 15%, of which 11,058 are boys, 8,266 girls, and 1 is a transgender. CBSE has also announced the top 10 candidates who scored 99.998632 percentile (668 marks out of 720) and above. In all eight candidates scored 670 and above in the exam. Total eligible candidates this year were 8,02,594 of which 7,31,223 took the exam. Among these 1,71,329 from general category have met the minimum qualifying criteria of marks range 685-145, while 1,75,226 OBC scored between marks range of 678-118.
- Agri dept to provide land for BRICS institute in Meerut
Meerut: The central government's proposal to establish a BRICS Agriculture Research Institute may soon become a reality. The district agriculture department has now proposed to provide 20 acres of land in Hastinapur for the institute. Earlier, the Centre had asked the state government if it could provide land in the National Capital Region (NCR) for the purpose. In his reply to the divisional commissioner, who had asked the district magistrate and other officers concerned to inform about the possibility of providing 20 acres of land, the deputy director of agriculture, Ramveer Katara, said the land for the same could be provided in Hastinapur region. In his reply to the divisional commissioner, Katara said, "The animal husbandry department, which comes under the agriculture department, has around 1,300 acres in Hastinapur. A 20 acre plot can be transferred for the said purpose." With the mission for sustainable and competitive agriculture development and poverty alleviation through strategic cooperation in agriculture in BRICS countries, the Union government has decided to set up the agriculture research centre in NCR. In his letter to the state government, the director of department of agricultural research and education (DARE), Rajan Agarwal, had stated that during his interaction with other members at the BRICS summit in Russia on July 9, Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed the setting up of BRICS agriculture search centre in India. "It was also suggested that a system be set up through which BRICS countries can cooperate for agriculture production and investment in infrastructure in nations rich in agriculture. Accordingly, DARE has finalised a concept note for establishment of the centre. India will host the 8th BRICS summit some time during 2016. It would be ideal to inaugurate the proposed centre during the summit in India," Agarwal had written the state government.
- Heavy rain in Meerut breaks commuters' back
Meerut: Incessant rain for over six hours on Sunday, which broke the four-year rainfall record for July here, submerged city roads under water. It was relief for people who remained indoors, but a nightmare for people who got stuck travelling in the inclement weather. Bikers and cyclists were the cursed lot as they had to wade through knee-deep water. Roads like Rohta Road, Prabhat Nagar Road, Khair Nagar, Lisari Gate and Baghpat Road were the worst hit due to waterlogging, just like the previous year. A few places where rain water receded, muddy roads caused problems to bikers and pedestrians throughout the day. Moreover, a few roads in the city where dividers and cycle tracks are under construction turned slippery. "The monsoon rain has just begun and the reality of city roads is already at the forefront. This July might have broken previous records but the situation of the roads was similar last year too. Municipal authorities hardly do anything except claiming each year that the next one would be better," said Mohd Imran, a city resident. Interestingly, over four months have passed since most of the roads including Kutchery Road and Mohanpuri Road were dug up for construction of dividers and cycle tracks respectively. But the projects are yet to finish, with the monsoon predictably making roads muddy and slippery. The maximum and minimum temperatures recorded on Sunday were 28.4 degrees Celsius and 24.6 degrees Celsius respectively. The rainfall recorded on Sunday was 48.4 mm and the maximum and minimum humidity levels were 98% and 85% respectively. Asked about the waterlogging problem, RS Chauhan, municipal health officer, said, "I took a round in the city and found that many roads were waterlogged including Rohta Road, Baghpat Road and Khair Nagar. But there is nothing to worry. The drains have a certain capacity and because the rainfall was very heavy today, waterlogging took place. Also, as soon as the rain stopped, the rain water level receded and roads were dry again." Commenting on the swampy roads, where construction is still on, Kulbhushan Varshney, chief engineer at Meerut Municipal Corporation, said, "We have written to the district magistrate about this matter. This comes under the jurisdiction of Meerut Development Authority (MDA)."
- Meerut jewellers go on strike again
Meerut: Disappointed with no response from the Centre on their demands, jewellers in the city went on strike yet again on Monday, nearly two weeks after reopening their stores. The strike is set to be observed till Wednesday. Before the protesters reopened their shops earlier, they were on a strike were 41 days. "The action committee made for the purpose had met the government authorities during the 41-day strike but we did not get any response in our favour. We reopened our shops because all of us were suffering heavy losses. But now that we see that the government authorities have refused to budge from the order, there is no other way but to continue with the strike," said Ravi Prakash Agarwal, president, Meerut Bullion Traders' Associtaion (MBTA). With a daily earning of nearly Rs 10 crore, Meerut is the largest jewellery market in Uttar Pradesh and among the top ten in the country. With over 40,000 artisans and 2,000 jewellery shop owners in the city, the last strike had hit them hard. MBTA claims to have lost over Rs 400 crore from the city alone in their last strike. "We have the same demands this time too i.e. to remove the 1% excise duty on non-silver jewellery but the government authorities seem to be too adamant on their decision. The Uttar Pradesh Saraffa Association has extended the strike till Wednesday. Further course of action would be decided after Wednesday," said Rajendra Kumar Jain, vice president, MBTA.
- Fearing riots, no screening of Shorgul in Meerut, Muzaffarnagar
Theatre owners across the districts of Meerut and Muzaffarnagar fearing riots have refused to screen the film 'Shorgul', a love story loosely based on the Muzaffarnagar riots. While no cinema hall in these two regions played the film, Agra had only one show and Bareilly two.
- Section 144 imposed in Shamli, Meerut, Muzaffarnagar
MEERUT: In a politically charged Friday in western UP, three communally sensitive districts were placed under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). Section 144 prohibits unlawful assembly in an area. The prohibitory orders were imposed in view of the twin rallies in Sardhana, announced by BJP leader Sangeet Som and SP leader Atul Pradhan. Meerut district magistrate Pankaj Yadav said that the provincial armed constabulary (PAC) had been deployed in Sardhana in heavy numbers. The district's borders with Muzaffarnagar and Shamli had been sealed. Shamli DM Sujeet Kumar said, "Section 144 is usually imposed before religious festivals. Currently, the provision has been in place due to Ramzaan and it will remain till July end. It basically means that nobody can take out a mass procession without prior permission. If someone violates prohibitory orders, there are provisions for his arrest. There are several sections under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) under which someone can be arrested." He added saying, "Keeping in mind the rallies that were announced for Friday, police in Shamli were placed on alert. We had police and PAC stationed at the district border so that unlawful processions would not pass." Similar provisions were put in place in Muzaffarnagar district. Deepak Kumar, Muzaffarnagar SSP, said, "We had stationed personnel at the Meerut-Muzaffarnagar border. If anybody tries to break prohibitory orders, they will be arrested immediately. We will not allow the law to be broken." Both Som and Pradhan postponed their respective rallies in light of prohibitory orders. Som, however, said that he would "take to the streets again" in 15 days if Hindu families were not "relocated" in Kairana. When asked about Som's ultimatum, the Shamli DM said, "There are provisions for arrest but we will act accordingly when the situation arises. As far as the demand for relocating families is concerned, there has been no mass exodus of Hindu families from Kairana."
- Killer roads: Meerut ranks 5th in state
Driving in the city is becoming increasingly dangerous. With 952 road accidents claiming 414 lives in a year, Meerut ranked fifth among districts in the state in the number of road accidents in 2015. These startling facts were brought to the fore through statistics gathered by the Uttar Pradesh traffic police authorities. The data was made public via the official Twitter handle @UPtrafficpolice on Tuesday.
- Central team to assess water bodies in Meerut, Muzaffarnagar

- Hundreds gather in Meerut as Jat stir spreads to UP
MEERUT: The second wave of the Jat quota stir spread to western Uttar Pradesh on Saturday as hundreds of Jat agitators gathered at Chaudhary Charan Singh Park in Meerut. Yashpal Malik, national president of the Akhil Bhartiya Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti and one of the leaders of the Haryana agitation, lashed out at the Haryana government for "standing by as mobs desecrated statues of Jat icons" during the February violence in the state. Malik accused the Khattar government of meting out "step-motherly treatment" to Jats. Meanwhile, Jat leaders at the protest told TOI that the BJP would suffer the ramification of the Haryana stir in the UP assembly polls next year. They said that for the first time, Jats were gravitating towards Maywatai-led BSP. "When the Jat agitation had come to an end on February 12, the Haryana government had promised that it would give compensation to the families of Jats who had died during the agitation. They have taken no concrete steps to that effect. On the contrary, they are giving step-motherly treatment to the Jat community," Malik said. Taking on BJP MP Rajkumar Saini, Malik said, "On one hand the Haryana government has filed false cases against innocent Jats and on the other hand, the members of Rajkumar Saini's 'OBC Sena' are roaming freely despite the violence they inflicted on the Jat community. They even desecrated the statues of Jat icons across the state." Manavendra Verma, the outfit's state president, said, "After the way the Haryana government handled the agitation, there is anger among Jats across the country. The fight for Jat reservation is far from over." Verma added that the political ramifications of the Haryana agitation will be felt by the BJP in the upcoming UP assembly polls. "Jats are disillusioned with the BJP. They will vote against the BJP en masse. The saffron party will feel the effects of this agitation in 2017, when UP goes to polls. They are more likely to gravitate towards the BSP since Mayawati's criticism of the BJP was most vocal."
- Rapid train between Meerut, Delhi likely to run by 2021
Meerut: The final contours of the ambitious and long-awaited Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) between Meerut and Delhi have been finalised and the project will be completed before 2021. According to senior officials, the trains on the route will travel at a high speed of 180 km per hour and complete the 90-km distance between Meerut and Delhi in 62 minutes. Normally, trains take a minimum two- and-a-half hour to reach Delhi from Meerut. On Monday, RRTS divisional commissioner Alok Sinha held a meeting with National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), which will implement the project. After the meeting, Sinha said that the project will be completed within five years. The NCRTC has been asked to prepare a detailed project report by February 2017 and produce it before the state government, Sinha said. The whole project will be completed in two phases. There will be 17 stations on the 90-km stretch that will start from Modipuram in Meerut till Sarai Kale Khan Station in Delhi. District magistrate (DM) Jagat Raj, who was in the meeting, said that as the RRTS would be built on the road divider so less land will be acquired for the project. "RRTS will give a boost to economic activities in the region. It will save time and money of the common man to commute between Meerut and Delhi," he said. Managing director of NCRTC, Vinay Kumar Singh, said that in the first phase, a track from Sarai Kale Khan to Partapur in Meerut would be completed. In the second phase track will be laid from Partapur to Modipuram in Meerut.

This is a
continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 07/073,797 filed on 7/13/87, now abandoned.
The present invention relates generally to food packages, and more particularly to anti-stick laminated films for packaging hygroscopic foods.
When hygroscopic foods, e.g., dried fruits, dried fruit candies, are packaged, undesirable adhesion occurs between the food and the inner surface of the package due to moisture absorption by the food. Where the package is transparent, the resulting adhesion may be render the product unsightly and/or will make removal of the food product difficult. Additionally, the absorption of moisture will result in a change in the character (or appearance) of normally dried foodstuffs, e.g., by wilting, and consequently, the product loses its appeal to the consumer.
A search of the prior art was undertaken to ascertain whether this problem has heretofore been addressed, with the following results:
U.S. Pat. No. 3,922,362 discloses the use of expanded polystyrene as a shipping container for food material, such as produce comprising fresh fruits and vegetables.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,645,757 discloses a method for treating the surface of packaging material to provide a hydrocolloidal release coating for foods such as cheese, margarine and some types of candy.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,306,755 and 3,415,661 disclose the use of polystyrene film for packaging moisture-containing foods and particularly the use of an anti-fogging coating on the film.
There are many uses suggested for polystyrene foamed products. In the article "Extruding Thermoplastic Foams" by F.R. Nissel, MODERN PLASTICS ENCYCLOPEDIA 1985-1986, pages 236-237, the author states: "Thin polystyrene foam film has an attractive satin-like sheen. It usually is extruded on conventional tubular film equipment using impregnated beads as raw material. It is widely used for coaster, food tray liners, and wrapping material because of its non-slip characteristics and appearance."
Frm the foregoing, it is clear that none of the references uncovered offers a satisfactory solution to the problem addressed herein.
Thus, it will be apparent that there exists a need in the art for a flexible laminated film for packaging hygroscopic articles, in particular, dried fruit and dried fruit candy, such film being moisture resistant and possessing anti-stick characteristics.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a flexible laminated package having an inner surface which will not adhere to hygroscopic products, particularly, dried fruit and dried fruit candies.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a laminated package which will inhibit moisture loss or absorption by the product contained therein.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a laminated food package which is capable of being made at relatively low cost using conventional packaging equipment.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a multilayered film for making the packages described above.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the description which follows.
Broadly stated, the flexible laminated film (and package) of the present invention comprises a plurality of layers wherein the inner film layer is polystyrene foam. It has been unexpectedly found that a polystyrene foam film layer in contact with hygroscopic food will not adhere to the food. While not wishing to be bound by any theory, one possible explanation for the unexpected anti-stick properties of the polystyrene foam is the fact that, when viewed under a miscroscope, the foam surface is not flat but is somewhat dimply so that there is less contact between the surface and the material placed adjacent thereto.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a food package according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the package of FIG. 1 taken along line 2--2; and
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary detail showing the structure of the flexible laminate film of the invention taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
The polystyrene foam films or foils useful in the present invention are commercially available from a number of different suppliers. One such supplier is Amoco Foam Products Company, of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. The thickness of the foam layer is not important except that if the foam is too thick, the laminate will lose its flexibility; whereas, if the foam layer is too thin, it cannot be machined properly to provide a multilayer laminate. With this in mind, the layer can range anywhere from a few mils thick up to greater than 25 mils thick. Preferably, the foam layer being used has a thickness of about 7 mils. Suitable films can be obtained from Velcour, Inc. of Glen Falls, N.Y.
Polystyrene foam sheets are conventionally produced using resin, nucleator, and blowing agent. The resin is normally a high heat general-purpose polystyrene. Nucleators, such as talc or a citric acid-sodium bicarbonate mixture, are added to provide foaming sites to obtain the desired cell size and uniformity. The blowing agent, usually a fluorocarbon or light aliphatic hydrocarbon, is injected as a liquid into the primary extruder. A positive-displacement volumetric pump is generally used, and the addition port is usually approximately 2/3 of the way up the barrel of the primary extruder. The amount and type of blowing agent control the density of the foam produced.
The physical characteristics of the polystyrene foam film layer include: a high compressive stress, a very low or no water absorption, and a non-planar surface. While not wishing to be bound by theory, these characteristics are believed to provide the non-stick surface. The high compressive stress is believed to provide a recoil like property in the foam sheet. Thus, when pressure is appled to the packaged food which would tend to make a food stick to the surface of the film, an internal force is believed to be built up within the foam layers such that when the pressure is removed, the foam surface tends to push itself away from the surface of the food. Thus, the film can be suitably machined for lamination to other film layers. The lack of water absorption in the film also prevents sticking.
To the polystyrene foam film layer substrate one or more additional layers are preferably added to provide desirable functional characteristics, such as barrier properties. The additional layers should not be so thick as to render the resultant laminate non-flexible. Such layers include one or more films of paper, polyolefins, vinyls, ionomers, styrene polymers and copolymers, polyamides, polyesters, metallized films, metallized papers, or combinations of such films. The thickness of the additional films is not critical and can typically range from about 0.25 mils up to 25 mils (0.00025 inches to 0.025 inches).
Although any number of layers may be added to the polystyrene substrate, it is preferred that two layers be used for economic reasons. One layer is the polystyrene foam film layer. The other layer is preferably a barrier layer, such as foil, oriented nylon, metallized films or the like. Where it is desirable to have printing on the exterior surface of the laminate, a third, printable, exterior layer can be included. All of the structures will typically include adhesive layers between the film layers. Thus, one preferred flexible laminate comprises the combination of polystyrene foam/polyethylene/foil/paper. The intermediate foil serves as a moisture barrier and the outer paper layer is adapted to receive printing or the like.
In order to laminate the various layers employed, a suitable conventional adhesive known to those skilled in the art may be used. In laminating polystyrene foam to another film, care must be taken because the polystyrene is very solvent sensitive. Preferred adhesives are thus water based adhesives, the chemical composition of which will depend upon the film to be bonded to the polystyrene foam film. Alternatively, solventless adhesives can be used and the choice of solventless adhesive to be selected is within the skill in the art. Finally, if it is desired to use a solvent based adhesive, the dry bonding process is preferred wherein the film to be bonded to the polystyrene foam is coated with the solvent based adhesive. Then, the coated film is passed through an oven to remove the solvent and the two films are then joined together by pressure.
Packages made from the flexible polystyrene foam laminate of the present invention may be readily and economically produced using conventional equipment.
Since polystyrene foam is difficult to bond to itself by thermo-sealing, the inner layer of the package is modified by applying a hot seal coating or a cold seal adhesive along the portions to be bonded. Most heat seal coatings are solvent based and they will generally produce less successful results than cold seal adhesives which are water based. Water based systems are preferred because of the susceptibility of polystyrene foam to various solvents. These sealable coatings are generally known to those skilled in the art and typically consist of a water based dispersion of a rubber or modified rubber. Various properties of the coating may be desirable. For example, an abrasion-resistant of "harder" coating is preferred when the coating is likely to come into contact with machine surfaces. One preferred heat seal coating is a copolymer based, water based dispersion commercially available from Pearson and Stevens Industrial Group, Buffalo, N.Y., under the tradename LATTISEAL A7734A.
Having described the present invention in general terms, the following examples will more particularly illustrate the package aspects of the present invention with reference to the drawing.
As shown in FIGS. 1-3 of the drawings, a laminated package 10 was prepared having an outer layer 12 of 15 lb./R paper, which was joined by an adhesive 14 to a 0.00285" thick foil intermediate layer 16, which in turn was joined by an adhesive 18 to a polystyrene foam inner layer 20. The polystyrene foamed film layer employed has a density of 6.87 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. of 0.007 in. thick film, or 11.8 lbs. per cubic foot. A cold seal was applied to the polystyrene layer along its outer edges 22 so as to form the package 10. The package was formed and filled with a hygroscopic food, e.g., 0.9 ounces of a dried fruit product known as FRUIT WRINKLES�. The filled package of the present invention was then tested to ascertain whether product adhesion with the inner layer of the package occurred. The package was closed, then subjected to a pressure of 9.63 pounds per square inch. When the package was opened at the top and inspected, there was no evidence of adhesion between the food and the inner layer of the package.
A. In contrast to the non-adhering characteristics of the package of the present invention, conventional packages for hygroscopic foods comprising polyethylene/ foil/Surlyl� (treated with adhesion inhibitor) were reported to have food adhering to the inner walls of the packages. Additionally, other substrates which have tested unsatisfactorily for anti-stick properties for hygroscopic foods include biaxially oriented polypropylene, foamed polypropylene, embossed polyethylene, various biaxially oriented polypropylene release film (which include release coatings); DuPont 50XM-831 C-PET (Release coated crystallized polyethylene terephthalate); paper which has been coated with a lethicin solution (which is used as a release coating in the baking industry); paper having a glassine interior surface; and papers having various waxed interior surfaces.
B. One commercial package comprises multiple layers according to the following specification: 20 lb./R paper/10 lb./R LLDPE/0.000285" foil/15 lb./R Surlyn� (slip coated). The internal Surlyn� layer was treated with a slip additive to inhibit product adhesion; however, the product adhered to the internal layer.
Although only preferred embodiments are specifically illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated that many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings and within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention.

nite Gregory States Patent [191 Jan. 29, 1974 MIXING SECTION FOR EXTRUDER FEED SCREW 7 [75] Inventor: Robert B. Gregory, Flemington, NJ.
[73] Assignee: GK Systems, Inc., Flemington, NJ.
[22] Filed: Dec. 6, 1972 [2]] Appl. N0.: 312,773
3,411,179 ll/l968 Gregory 425/209 Primary Examiner-Robert W. Jenkins Attorney, Agent, or FirmThomas E. Tate [57] TRACT This invention is directed to an extruder feed screw having an intermediate cylindrical mixing section provided on its outer surface with a plurality of concave channels of uniform depth and disposed as a plurality of interlocked helices of the same handv In each adjacent pair of channels, the input end of one is open and its discharge end is closed, while in the other channel its imput end is closed and its discharge end is open. By this construction, dispersive and distributive mixing of the throughput are achieved more rapidly and production rates are markedly increased without degradation of the product.
9 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures PATENTEB JAN 2 9 I974 FIG. 4
MIXING SECTION FOR EXUDIER FEED SCREW THE INVENTION This invention generally relates to new and useful improvements in feed screws used for the hot melt extrusions of thermoplastic materials and particularly seeks to provide a novel feed screw in which the mixing section thereof is so designed and constructed as to enable a marked production increase to be effected, virtually regardless of the specific types or blends of thermoplastic materials involved, while still effecting the desired dispersive mixing and a near isothermal condition of the extrudate.
More specifically, the feed screw mixing section of this invention is an improvement over that disclosed in the Gregory, et al. US. Pat. No. 3,411,179 of Nov. 19, 1968, in that it is better capable of effecting the dispersive mixing and temperature uniformity of readily degradable polymers, or mixtures containing such, at a sufficiently increased production rate on the order of at least 40 percent, whereby to decrease throughput time enough to prevent degradation of the polymer. Obviously, this increase in production rate is also of advantage in the mixing and extrusion of polymers that are not so readily degradable, since the over all operating efficiency of the extruder is substantially improved.
As stated in the above-mentioned Gregory, et al. patent and repeated here, one of the heretofore unsolved problems in extruding thermoplastics by screw extruders, which are required to operate at high production rates, is the loss of temperature uniformity of the extruda-tes. Due to the typical inverse relationship of viscosity and temperature, a wide range of temperatures results in an uneven or irregular output flow through the extrusion die, since the flow rate through the die is proportional to the extrudate viscosity. Therefore, it is important to obtain, or at least closely approximate, an isothermal melt temperature in order to achieve a substantially constant and uniform flow rate through the die under any given set of permissible operating conditions.
It is also known that temperature uniformity is a function of the mixing involved in screw extrusion processes. One phase of such mixing may be described as the simultaneous application of high shear stress to the higher viscosity components of the extrudate and a lower shear stress to the lower viscosity components, thereby supplying more energy to the higher viscosity components than to the lower. This phase of mixing is generally referred to as dispersive mixing.
It is also known that temperature uniformity is a function of the distributive mixing ability of the screw, by which polymer particles that are adjacent at the input end become progressively separated as the melt advances toward the discharge end. It has been established that the more widely separated the particles become as the result of this mixing, the more uniform the extrudate temperature becomes.
In addition to the attainment of uniform temperature and viscosity, proper mixing also is of importance where pigments or other additives are to be uniformly distributed through the extrudate or blends of different polymers are to be extruded.
These operating goals are met and surpassed through the use of an extruder feed screw having an improved mixing section constructed in accordance with this invention since the desired dispersive and distributive mixing can be achieved with less retention time than heretofore possible, thus obtaining a marked increase in throughput rate and enabling the use of polymers that otherwise would become degraded as the result of the longer retention times heretofore used.
Therefore, an object of this invention is to provide an extruder feed screw having a mixing section capable of effecting proper dispersive and distributive mixing of an extrudate at a throughput rate markedly greater than has heretofore been possible.
Another object of this invention is to provide an extruder feed screw mixing section of the character stated that enables the use of those types of polymers that heretofore would have become degraded as the result of passage along prior known types of extruder feed screws and the mixing sections thereof.
Another object of this invention is to provide an extruder feed screw of the character stated in which the mixing section thereof is a cylinder of uniform diameter provided on its outer surface with a plurality of concave channels of uniform depth and disposed as a plurality of interlocked helices of the same hand with alternate channels being open at their input ends and closed at their discharge ends while the remaining alternate channels are closed at their input ends and open at their discharge ends.
Another object of this invention is to provide an extruder feed screw of the character stated in which the helix angle in a development of the cylindrical mixing section is on the order of 30.
A further object of this invention is to provide an extruder feed screw of the character stated that is simple in design, rugged in construction and economical to manufacture.
With these and other objects, the nature of which will become apparent, the invention will be more fully understood by reference to the drawings, the accompanying detailed description and the appended claims.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a partly broken longitudinal section of an extruder barrel having an extruder feed screw provided with a mixing section constructed in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of the mixing section;
FIG. 3 is a development on the mixing section; and
FIG. 4 is a transverse vertical section taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 2
Referring to the drawings in detail the invention, as illustrated, is embodied in an extruder for hot melt plastics and includes a cylindrical barrel 5 provided at its input end with an inlet 6 for admission of plastic material to be extruded and at its discharge end a strainer plate 7 and a discharge head 8 having an extrusion orifice 9.
An extruder feed screw generally indicated at 10 is rotatably carried within the barrel 5 and includes a metering section 11 adjacent the input end, an intermediate mixing section generally indicated 12, to which this invention specifically relates, and a feed section 13 adjacent the discharge end.
The mixing section 12 comprises a cylinder of uniform outside diameter and, in the illustrated embodiment, preferably has a length to diameter ratio of 2:1.
The outer surface of the cylinder is machined to define a plurality of concave cross sectioned interlocked helical grooves 14 and 15 separated by intervening lands or flights 16. This type of surface grooving may be considered somewhat analagous to the double threads frequently used to secure the bezel of a ships clock to its case. In the present instance the grooves 14 alternate with the grooves 15, the input end of each groove 14 is open while its opposite end is closed at 17, and the input end of each groove 15 is closed as at 18 while its opposite end is open.
The helix angle of the grooves and lands preferably is on the order of 30 as indicated on the development of FIG. 3 and the grooves 14 and 15 are of the same cross-section and of uniform depths throughout their lengths, except of course at the respective closed ends. The outside diameter of at least the mixing section 12 of the feed screw is sufficiently less than the inside diameter of the barrel 5 as to provide a clearance of about 0.001 inch to 0.005 inch therebetween.
Typically, in a mixing section 12 having a length of 9 inches, an outside diameter of 4.5 inches, and a helix angle of 30, the grooves 14 and 15 may be arcuately cross-sectioned with a width of say 0.50 inch and depth of say 0.40 inch and the intervening lands or flights 16 may be of say a width of 0.1875 inch.
Although in the above described embodiment of the invention the length to diameter ratio of the mixing section 12 has been stated to be 2:1, it will be understood that this may be varied in accordance with requirements imposed by different operating conditions or by differences in the types of plastics being extruded, and may be as short as 1:1 or as long as 6:1. Similarly, while the helix angle preferably is on the order of 30 as previously described, it may be as small as about 22% or as large as about 45, depending on the speed of rotation of the feed screw and other factors that determine the retention time necessary to achieve the desired dispersive and distributive mixing of the plastic throughput at a maximum production rate.
It is of course to be understood that variations in arrangements and proportions of parts may be made within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A feed screw for rotatable installation in the barrel of a machine for extruding hot melt plastics and including a metering section along its input end, an intermediate mixing section and a feeding section along its discharge end; said mixing section being in the form of a cylinder whose axis is the same as that of said feed screw and having a diameter such as to fit within said barrel with a predetermined radial clearance with respect thereto, the outer surface portions of said cylinder being configured along its full length to define a plurality of spaced concave channels of uniform depth and disposed as a plurality of interlocked helices of the same hand, the material of said cylinder between said spaced channels defining complementary helical flights, each of said channels having an input end and a discharge end.
2. The feed screw of claim 1 in which in each successive pair of said channels one of said channels is open at its input end and closed at its discharge end while the other thereof is closed at its input end and open at its discharge end.

Delhi gang-rape: Woman police officer to be cross-examined
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Monday fixed for tomorrow the crucial cross-examination of a woman police officer who identified all material evidence including the blood stained bed sheet with which the December 16 gang-rape victim and her friend were covered after they were thrown out of a moving bus.
The sub-inspector, posted at Vasant Vihar police station here, deposed for the third day before Additional Sessions Judge Yogesh Khanna and identified the bedsheet with which the victim and her friend were covered when they were first spotted by the PCR van at a road near a flyover in south Delhi.
"...White bed sheet having blood stains is taken out and shown to the witness (sub inspector), who identified it to be the same bed sheet which was taken into possessions by her...," the investigating officer (IO), who is the key prosecution witness in the case, told the court.
The court said the counsel appearing for the accused can cross-examine the officer from tomorrow onwards.
The IO had also identified the key of the bus and also the iron rods with which the girl was badly assaulted, when it was shown to her after desealing of the case properties in the court room.
Deposing as a last witness for the prosecution, the IO said that the clothes lying in the court room are of the five accused, including Ram Singh who was found hanging in his cell in Tihar jail on March 11 and against whom the trial has been been abated.
Prime accused Ram Singh was the first arrest in the case. Later, accused Pawan Gupta, Vinay Sharma and Mukesh were apprehended and they had led the investigators to the important evidence in the case.

Radical Left Group Takes Responsibility for Ankara US Embassy Blast
Radical Turkish Marxist group Revolutionary People's Liberation Party - Front has assumed responsibility for Friday's suicide blast against the US embassy in Ankara.
The bombing resulted in the death of the 6 kg TNT carrying bomber, as well as of a security officer at the embassy, and at least two other injured people.
Turkish authorities had already ascribed the attack to the party, known also under the abbreviation DHKP/C.
Writing at a Turkish website, the organization, classified as a terrorist group, said that the US are "the world's murderers."
Turkish police has already identified the suicide bomber as a 40-year-old DHKP/C member who had served jail time due to prior terrorist activities.

text: 000 FXUS64 KCRP 300556 AFDCRP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 1256 AM CDT TUE AUG 30 2016 .DISCUSSION...Note Aviation Discussion below. && .AVIATION...Mixture of MVFR/VFR conditions early this morning with MVFR conditions ownig to ceilings and/or visibility restrictions from isolated/scattered showers/thunderstorms (with precipitation mainly east of U.S. 281.) MVFR conditions owing to scattered showers/thunderstorms expected areawide this afternoon/early evening. VFR conditions early Tonight followed by a transition to MVFR ceilings toward the end of the TAF period. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 908 PM CDT MON AUG 29 2016/ DISCUSSION... Overall, the forecast is doing fairly well. However, tide levels at Bob Hall Pier are showing between 1.2 and 1.4 feet higher than predicted tides over the last couple of hours. Current predicted astronomical high tide at Port Aransas is 416 AM (Bob Hall Pier about the same), with a predicted level around 0.8 feet MSL. Combine this with the above normal values will be somewhere near or above 2 feet. Considering that the high tide is occurring overnight, will issue the Coastal Flood Advisory for the coastal areas near and South of Port Aransas (San Patricio, Nueces, and Kleberg Counties). Since rest of forecast overall is doing fine (POPs out west may be a bit high but for now will let that go), have issued updates already. No notable changes to the marine forecast expected at this time (if that changes will issue another forecast discussion). PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 641 PM CDT MON AUG 29 2016/ DISCUSSION... See 00Z Aviation discussion. AVIATION... Main forecast challenge is putting in the showers/possible thunder with as much accuracy as possible without having an extra-long terminal forecast for each location. Based on some of the model output as well as rainfall climatology with a tropical airmass, think that there will be a brief lull in the activity by this evening over the terminals, then will begin to see some showers offshore mainly tonight/overnight and some of these could get into the KCRP and KVCT terminal before 12Z. As a result, will have TEMPO groups (SHRA) for each after 08Z (thunder not as likely). There were some MVFR/near IFR ceilings earlier this morning, and we could have that again if the winds back to the north again (which is being forecast). Think IFR is less likely due to the fact that the winds will not be north which probably caused those lower clouds to develop. After sunrise, begin putting tempo/prob30 in the forecast starting at the eastern-most terminals AOA 14Z and spreading the rain chances east. MVFR conditions will go more VFR (but will have ceilings) AOA 16Z outside of convection. Think most of the convection will be showers in the morning (do not want to put too much thunder in, as believe thunder will be more likely later in the terminal period). Generally have thunder in the terminals (except KCRP) in the afternoon when daytime heating can help generate. Winds back to the NE tonight and generally light, become more east during the day on Tuesday. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... /Issued 351 PM CDT MON AUG 29 2016/ SHORT TERM (Tonight through Tuesday night)... Isolated to scattered showers will continue this afternoon and early evening across South Texas. There may be a brief lull in activity later this evening, but rain chances will persist during the short term. Weak upper level low will approach the Middle Texas coast later tonight into Tuesday. Increased lift along with deep tropical moisture (PWs at or above 2 inches) will result in additional chances for convection across the area. Showers and isolated thunderstorms may redevelop later tonight over the Gulf Waters and then move inland during the day. Pops were kept at 50 percent for Tuesday. Some of the showers and storms will be capable of producing moderate to brief heavy downpours. Cloud cover and rain chances will keep temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Rain chances will continue Tuesday night, with favored locations across the southern and western parts of the area. Will keep 20 pops across the north to the 40 percent across the southern and western areas. Slightly drier air may filter in from the north which will begin to diminish rain chances towards the latter part of the short term. LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)... Mid level low continues to shift south-southeast along the Texas coast Wednesday as mid level ridging builds in from the northwest. Mid level heights do not increase much, but overall, drier air moves into the region with the beginnings of downsloping. As a result, kept lower rain chances beginning Wednesday. Most activity should remain as thick cloud coverage with showers or light rain through Thursday, but due to lingering midlevel energy, maintained the thunder wording. At the surface, models continue to slide high pressure in from the northeast late in the week. Recent model runs have now pooled more moisture along the southern extent of the front which should be enough to at least mention a slight chance for rain Friday and Saturday as it approaches the region. With the lack of ideal northerly flow aloft, this front is not expected to bring cooler temperatures nor northerly winds. In fact, generally east- northeasterly winds early in the week will return out of the southeast as the boundary moves closer to the area. Lingering moisture available will keep slight rain chances through Monday. Temperatures overall will warm through period into the mid to upper 90s. Tropical Depression 9...approx 170 miles west-southwest of Key West FL...is currently expected to have minimal impacts across South Texas. At this time...an increase in long period swell may enhance the rip current risk late this week along Gulf-facing beaches. Please see National Hurricane Center products for the latest forecast information on Tropical Depression 9. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Email this article with photos to your fellow yogini and yogi pals: it's lovely and must've taken some work to put together. Here's the link.
Ashtanga Yoga, practiced in its correct sequential order, gradually leads the practitioner to rediscovering his or her fullest potential on all levels of human consciousness—physical, psychological, and spiritual. Through this practice of correct breathing (Ujjayi Pranayama), postures (asanas), and gazing point (driste), we gain control of the senses and a deep awareness of our selves. By maintaining this discipline with regularity and devotion, one acquires steadiness of body and mind.

Which Stepan-Richards one? The first one I disagree. Richards had a REALLY hot March last year, but Stepan has had a far more consistent season and for longer. Also Richards' hot March was largely due to Gaborik. However, come playoffs Gabby is not that reliable. We don't really know how it is with Nash due to his tiny sample size. Finally, Stepan is a better defensive player.
If you meant the 2nd Stepan-Richards comparison you may be right. Though Richards has played very well lately. Tied for #2 on the team in points for April with Nash.
Nash>Gaborik, IMO. Similar production, but Nash just does a lot more. With similar productions, give me the guy that can pin the other team in their zone even when he doesn't score rather than the guy that guy stands there waiting for a pass. IMO Nash is the much more effective player. Plus Gabby is not a very good playoff performer. I think Nash's game translates better. Though he'd have to cut out trying to toe drag everyone, won't work in the playoffs.
The others you may be right, but that's depth. Depth was a big problem for us this year. If our depth is even, we're good. IMO, our top end is better. Not by too much, but better. Also if Staal comes back our depth on D is better.
