This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/280,335, filed on Dec. 6, 1988, now abandoned, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/573,283, filed on Aug. 24, 1990, now abandoned.
This invention relates to the field of web handling techniques, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for splicing together, at a selected minimum speed, including zero speed, ends of stationary and running webs of material, and for accelerating the stationary web to the velocity of the other web.
In many manufacturing operations, the most efficient utilization of raw materials and equipment requires the continuous feed of a moving web of flat stock, for example, rolled paper, cardboard, floor covering and the like. To provide the web continuously, an apparatus is used to automatically splice the trailing end of an expiring roll of web material being utilized in the production process with the leading end of a fresh, replacement roll to be utilized next in the process. This is performed without interruption of the advance of the web or, for that matter, interruption of the manufacturing process itself. An implementation of a conventional apparatus of this type is taught by commonly-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 3,822,838, issued Jul. 9, 1974 and entitled "Web Handling Apparatus", the disclosure of which being incorporated herein by reference.
Basically, this conventional apparatus includes supports for a pair of web rolls, one of which is a running supply roll and one of which is a fresh roll at the ready for use next, after the running roll is depleted. The supports alternate in holding the running and ready rolls. Web is fed from the running roll, through a splicing mechanism, to an accumulator and then to a printing press or other machine which consumes the web at high speed. To assure a high quality, dependable splice, the splicing is carried out while the two webs being spliced are moving at a slow speed or are stationary. For this reason, it is commonly referred to as a "zero-speed" splice.
The web is pulled from the running supply roll by a mechanism in the web-consuming machine so that it usually moves at a constant rate whose value depends on the requirements or capabilities of the machine.
The accumulator shown in the previously-mentioned patent stores in festoon fashion an excess length of the material until such time as it is desired to make a splice. Then, during splicing, it gradually delivers the stored web to the web-consuming machine. Essentially, the accumulator is a mechanically adjustable, tortuous web path typically defined by a set of stationary rolls, each pair of which being separated along the web path by a movable roll. In other words, the web is looped between the fixed rolls and movable rolls, forming a series of bights.
The movable rolls are commonly referred to as a "dancer" and, in operation, translate in unison toward or away from the set of fixed rolls. This movement controls the amount of material in the accumulator. For example, as the dancer moves further away from the set of fixed rolls, the amount of material in the accumulator increases, and vice-versa. Typically, the dancer is biased away from the fixed rolls by a constant force, and is caused to move from a reference position by changes in tension in the web. In response to the deviation of the dancer from the reference position, the running supply roll is braked to a greater or lesser degree in a controlled fashion to return the dancer to its reference position and thus maintain the web tension within a selected range.
When it is time to initiate a splice, the splicing mechanism is actuated. In a typical instance, the ensuing splicing procedure entails several coordinated steps performed in sequence, including: stopping the rotation of the running supply roll, pressing the stationary web from that roll against the prepared leading end of the web from the fresh supply roll to make the splice, cutting the expiring web behind the splice and, finally, accelerating the fresh supply roll to bring the new web from that roll up to line speed and to replenish the accumulator. Conventionally, only after the splice is made is acceleration of the fresh roll commenced to bring the new web up to line speed.
To permit the two rolls to remain stationary during splicing without concomitantly interrupting the operation of the web-consuming apparatus, the storage capacity of the accumulator must be sufficient to meet the needs of the web-consuming apparatus during the entire splicing procedure. Of course, this means that the required accumulator storage capacity depends on the speed of travel of the web into the web-consuming apparatus. For instance, if a particular web-consuming machine has a line speed twice that of another such apparatus, twice as much web is used by the first web-consuming machine during the splicing procedure, and the accumulator of that machine must be able to store twice as much web.
By the same token, the required storage capacity of the accumulator also is dependent on the time it takes to accelerate the full roll from an angular velocity of zero to the selected running speed. It is self-evident that, until the fresh roll has reached the requisite speed, the accumulator must continue to make-up the resulting shortfall of web required by the web-consuming apparatus. The longer the acceleration takes, the larger must be the storage capacity of the accumulator. To shorten the duration of this acceleration phase of the splice sequence, some splicers incorporate a supplemental motor drive or "kicker" to overcome the inertia of the fresh roll and more quickly accelerate it to the requisite speed.
As is well known to those skilled in this art, most conventional web handling apparatus using such accumulator and roll acceleration arrangements do generally fulfill their intended purposes. However, their accumulators are large and occupy a considerable amount of floor space which is at a premium in most press rooms. Also, being composed of massive parts, they are relatively costly in their own right. Finally, because of the high inertias of their heavy moving parts, they tend to introduce tension upsets in the running web at the very high line speeds desired for present day presses, i.e., in excess of 2000 feet per minute.
As should be apparent from the foregoing discussion, the main disadvantages of prior web handling arrangements stem primarily from the length of time required to complete the entire zero-speed splice procedure including accelerating the fresh web to line speed. If normal operation at full line speed could be restored more quickly after the splice is made by, for example, finding a way to accelerate the fresh roll to line speed earlier, the accumulator size could be reduced or the line speed could be increased.
Accordingly, the invention aims to provide a web handling method and apparatus with an improved technique for accelerating a web to line speed.
Another object of the invention is to provide a web splicing apparatus having an improved web in-feed arrangement which is capable of accelerating the full roll prior to making the zero-speed splice, and accumulating the uncoiling web from that roll until the splice is completed.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an improved web handling apparatus incorporating web accumulating means characterized by a smaller total web storage capacity for a given line speed of web into the web-consuming machine, or an increased line speed for a given storage capacity, as compared with conventional apparatus.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
Briefly, a web splicing apparatus embodying the present invention is designed similar to the prior art apparatus described above, except that a smaller, supplemental or secondary accumulator is placed along the web path between each fresh roll to be accelerated and the splicing head. The supplemental accumulator takes-up slack in the web which results from accelerating the fresh roll before completion of the splice--while the leading end of that web is held stationary in the splicing mechanism of the splicing head. Such acceleration can be called pre-acceleration.
In other words, whereas conventionally the fresh roll is accelerated only after a splice has been made, in this improved apparatus the new roll is accelerated simultaneously with or even prior to splicing of the trailing end of the expiring web to the leading end of the fresh web. The excess web produced by this early acceleration is stored in the supplemental accumulator until after the splice has been made. At that instant, web from the supplemental accumulator is used to supply the main accumulator until the supplemental accumulator is depleted and all the while, the main accumulator supplies the web requirements of the web consuming machine until the new web reaches line speed. Actually, the web accelerates to a somewhat higher speed so that the main accumulator is replenished with web in preparation for the next splice cycle.
With this improved web-handling apparatus using pre-acceleration of the ready roll, the duration of the splicing procedure is reduced and thus less web needs to be supplied from the main accumulator during the splicing cycle. Not only does this permit the use of a main accumulator of a smaller size, but also the total storage capacity of the main and supplemental accumulators can be smaller than that of the single accumulator of conventional web handling apparatus described above. Alternatively, the line speed of the web-consuming machine can be increased or a combination of these advantages can be realized.
In addition to the reduction of storage capacity or alternatively increasing the web speed, the designer may carefully choose the optimum time intervals associated with the various stages of the splice procedure in order to minimize the web tension upsets associated with the splicing operation. For instance, the braking time of the expiring roll can be increased slightly in order to reduce the tension upset due to sudden brake application.
The invention is also useful in web winder/splicer applications.
The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts which are exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a representation, partially in block diagram form, of a web handling apparatus having supplemental accumulators to enable pre-acceleration of the fresh roll in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a graph in which accumulator web length is plotted against time for the FIG. 1 apparatus and for a prior art apparatus;
FIG. 3 is a graph in which the web length depleted from a running roll undergoing constant acceleration, and the web length depleted from the main accumulator at a constant running speed, are both plotted as functions of time; and
FIG. 4 is a representation in block diagram form of an improved winder/splicer in accordance with the invention.
Turning now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is shown a web handling apparatus 10 for supplying a web W to a web-consuming machine 12, such as a printing press. A roll 14 of running web is supported for rotation on a suitable shaft or arbors 16. The web W from roll 14 is conducted through a splicing station 18 to a main accumulator shown generally at 20. The web leaving the accumulator 20 is conducted to the web-consuming machine 12. During normal operation, a pull roll or other mechanism 12a in machine 12 pulls web W with a constant force which is sufficient to give web W a usually constant, pre-determined speed into the press.
The apparatus 10 also includes a roll 26 of ready web W' also rotatively supported on a suitable shaft or arbors 28. The leading end of the web W' from roll 26 is prepared with double-faced tape T and set on one of a pair of spaced rolls 27 in the splicing head or station 18 in a conventional fashion to await the depletion of the running roll 14. When the roll 14 is nearly expired, the web W from that roll is spliced to the leading end of the web W' from roll 26 by bringing together the two rolls 27 and cutting the running web W behind the splice by activating a knife 29 so that web (now being drawn from roll 26) proceeds uninterruptedly through the main accumulator 20 into the web-consuming machine 12.
In operation, arbors 16 and 28 alternate in holding the running roll and ready roll. For instance, after the running roll 14 expires, the ready roll 26 is used as the feed to the web-consuming machine 12 and a fresh roll is readied on shaft or arbors 16. This process continues in alternation to assure an uninterrupted supply of web to the web-consuming machine 12.
In accordance with the invention, between the roll 14 and the web splicing head 18 along the web path is a first supplemental accumulator 30A, and similarly between the roll 26 and the web splicing head 18 is a second supplemental accumulator 30B. The function of these supplemental accumulators 30A and 30B will be explained shortly.
Each of the accumulators 20, 30A and 30B is of the same general construction, and so the same reference numbers will be used for the analogous component parts, but of course the supplemental accumulators are much smaller than the main accumulator. The accumulators 20, 30A and 30B each have a set of stationary rolls 42 and a dancer 44 in the form of a set of movable rolls 46 situated directly above rolls 42. The rolls 42 and 46 are staggered so that the web W can be looped around the rolls in festoon fashion, enabling an appreciable length of web to be stored by the accumulator 20, 30A, or 30B commensurate with the size of that accumulator. In other words, the amount of web stored in this manner depends upon the distance between the dancer 44 and the set of fixed rolls 42. As the spacing therebetween increases, more web is stored in the accumulator 20, 30A, or 30B, and vice versa. Thus the maximum storage capacity depends on the number of rolls 42 and 46 in the accumulator 20, 30A or 30B, and the maximum distance between the rolls 42 and 46. The design, construction, and operation of web accumulators is generally well known to those skilled in the art.
During taking-up of web to be stored in the accumulators 20, 30A or 30B, the dancer 44 is moved from its lowermost position adjacent the fixed rolls 42 whereat no or minimal web is stored in the accumulator 20, 30A, or 30B to an upper, reference position whereat the accumulator 20, 30A or 30B stores a selected high percentage (e.g., 80%) of its maximum storage capacity. (The reference position of dancer roll 46 of supplemental accumulator 30A is shown in solid lines at A, while its no-web-storage position is shown in phantom lines at B. On the other hand, the reference position of dancer roll 46 of supplemental accumulator 30B is shown in phantom at A, while its no-web-storage position is shown in solid lines at B.)
The main accumulator 20 is normally maintained at near full capacity and stores enough web when its dancer 44 is in its reference position shown by arrow C to supply the needs of the web-consuming machine 12 during the splicing procedure and yet accommodate or compensate for web tension upsets encountered during normal operation that cause its dancer 44 to move further away from the stationary rolls 42 and towards its maximum storage position.
The web-consuming machine 12 pulls the web W with a force sufficient to maintain a constant speed of travel of the running web, i.e., web W. Brakes 50A and 50B on shafts or arbors 16 and 28, in conjunction with a servo arrangement which responds to displacement of the main accumulator dancer 44 from its reference position, maintain the angular speed of the respective rolls 14 and 26 with which they are operatively associated despite changing conditions which would otherwise vary the web speed, including tension upsets and decreasing rotational inertia due to shrinking of the running roll 14 as web is consumed therefrom. With a constant web running speed, and absent a web tension upset, the dancer 44 of the main accumulator 20 remains substantially at the same distance from the stationary rolls 42, i.e., at position C. Furthermore, with a constant web running speed during normal operation, the web supplied from the running roll 14 to the main accumulator 20 is equal to the web delivered from the main accumulator to the web-consuming machine 12. Of course, this is not the case during splicing, as is described below.
A control unit or controller 52, which includes the servo circuitry described above and a computer, controls the positions of the dancers 44 of the accumulators 20, 30A and 30B, the actuation of the brakes 50A and 50B, and, in general, the actuation and timing of the web feeding and splicing operations. This involves the receipt of sensor signals and the transmission of control signals by the controller 52 over signal lines 53. The programming of the controller 52 and, in general, the generation of control signals in a feedback arrangement of the type illustrated and described herein, are well known in the art to which the invention pertains.
When the size of the running roll 14 reaches a predetermined minimum diameter, this is detected by a suitable sensor 54 which produces a signal that is processed by the controller 52. The controller 52 thereupon initiates the splicing procedure. In this regard, the controller 52 causes the brake 50A on the running roll 14 to be applied so that the roll 14 decelerates at a predetermined rate. As the running roll 14 slows, less and less web W is furnished to the main accumulator 20, and therefore it suffers a net depletion of its web as more web is delivered to the web-consuming machine 12 then is received from the supply roll 14.
As soon as the speed of the running web W reaches zero, i.e., a complete stop, or a selected minimum speed, the control unit 52 emits a control signal to the splicing head or station 18 to initiate the splice. For this, the rolls 27 at splicing station 18 are brought together to press the tape T at the leading edge of the ready web W, from roll 26 against the now stationary web W. The two webs now being spliced together, the control unit 52 actuates the knife 29 behind web W which cuts that web immediately behind the splice. In the prior art apparatus of this type, it is at this time that the full roll is accelerated to line speed, i.e., the speed of the web being consumed by the web-consuming machine.
In the present invention, the full roll 26 commences its acceleration at a selected point in time prior to the making of the splice, possibly even prior to full braking of the running roll 14 and, in any event, prior to the time that it is done conventionally. This can be termed "pre-acceleration." To do this, the control unit 52, at the appropriate time, emits a signal to a drive or kicker 54, for example a conventional eddy current motor drivingly associated with the shaft or arbors 28 supporting the ready roll 26. Drive 54 accelerates that roll 26 for a pre-determined time sufficient to bring the web from that roll up to line speed or to a higher speed until the main accumulator 20 is replenished with web to the desired 80% capacity. A similar drive 54 is associated with arbors 12 for accelerating a ready roll supported by those arbors.
We will now describe the operation of the supplemental accumulators 30A and 30B and their effect on the overall splice procedure. With the segment of web w in the splicing station 18 stationary (or at minimum speed) and roll 26 unwinding during the pre-acceleration period, the resulting slack in the ready web W' uncoiling from roll 26 is taken up and stored by the supplemental accumulator 30B. In other words, the excess web from roll 26 produced during pre-acceleration is accumulated in the supplemental accumulator 30B until the splice has been made by displacing that accumulator's dancer 44 toward its reference position B. Afterwards, the main accumulator 20 draws down accumulator 30B until the supplemental accumulator 30B is depleted, at which time web is drawn directly from the accelerated full roll 26. This is effected by moving the dancer 44 of the supplemental accumulator 30B at a controlled rate from its reference position A to its no-web-storage position B.
Similarly, supplemental accumulator 30A stores the excess web during pre-acceleration of a ready roll supported by arbors 16.
In essence, the provision of the supplemental accumulators 30A and 30B permits the pre-acceleration of the ready roll to take place. Because of this pre-acceleration, normal operation of the apparatus 10 is restored more quickly after the splice, and therefore the storage capacity of the main accumulator 20 of apparatus 10 can be reduced or the speed of the running web into machine 12 can be increased. Certain applications employing the present invention will benefit by utilizing both a main accumulator of reduced size and a faster web running speed.
To understand the operation and advantages of apparatus 10 more fully, reference should be had to FIG. 2 which is a graph of web length plotted against time during a splice procedure--with curve WEB-IN (INV) representing the web length supplied to the main accumulator 20 of the improved apparatus 10, curve WEB-IN (PA) representing the web length supplied to the accumulator of the conventional apparatus, and curve WEB-OUT representing the web length depleted from either the main accumulator 20 of apparatus 10 of the present invention or the single accumulator of the conventional apparatus, the depletion rates of each for present purposes being constant and equal to one another. All of these curves are generated over both normal operation and during splicing.
With reference to FIG. 2, the uniformity of the running speed of the web into the web-consuming machine is illustrated by the linear, positively-sloped curve WEB-IN. This demand is met by web being delivered from the accumulator. Except for that period of operation when the splicing procedure is performed, the web lengths supplied to and delivered from the accumulator are equal and the length of web stored in that accumulator is generally constant (except as may result from web tension upsets). This is illustrated graphically by the curves WEB-IN (INV), WEB-IN (PA) and WEB-OUT being coincident and co-linear before the splicing procedure is commenced (i.e., before T-0) and then, again, after the splicing procedure is completed.
What happens during the splicing procedure is of considerably more interest. As the splicing sequence is initiated at time T-0, the expiring roll is slowed from its running speed and gradually brought to a complete stop at time T-1. The web length depleted from the accumulator 20 during slowing of the running roll is the difference between the curves WEB-IN (INV) or, for that matter, since the two are equal, between curves WEB-IN (PA) and WEB-OUT at time T-1, and this difference is designated S-1 in the graph. Once the expiring roll is stopped, the actual splicing operation begins. While splicing is being performed no web is being supplied to the accumulator 20. By the time the splice has been made and the web W cut behind the splice, that is, at time T-2, the total web length depleted from the accumulator 20 is S-2.
In the conventional apparatus represented by curve WEB-IN (PA), the fresh roll begins its acceleration at time T-2, and, in so doing, begins to supply web to the single accumulator. At a subsequent time T-4, the web into the accumulator is traveling at a speed equal to that of the outgoing web being fed to the web-consuming machine, and the accumulator realizes no net gain or loss of stored web. Graphically, this is illustrated by the slopes of the two curves WEB-IN (PA) and WEB-OUT being substantially equal at time T-4, i.e., a tangent through curve WEB-IN (PA) at time T-4 is parallel to the linear curve WEB-OUT. Also, the depletion of web in the accumulator at any time during the splice sequence is reflected by the difference between the curves WEB-OUT and WEB-IN (PA). The depletion designated S-4 at time T-4, represents the maximum length of web depleted during the splicing sequence. Beyond T-4, the web stored in the single accumulator of the conventional apparatus increases until the desired initial capacity is reached at T-6. Thus, the acceleration continues until the accumulator 20 is replenished and the fresh roll is at full running speed at time T-6.
Unlike the conventional apparatus, the improved apparatus 10 pre-accelerates the ready roll. This is reflected in the curve WEB-IN (INV) which represents the web length fed into the main accumulator 20 from the ready roll 26 beginning with its acceleration at time T-0 (time of deceleration) instead of T-2 (time of splice) as was the case for curve WEB-IN (PA). The effect to note is a sudden upward jump in the WEB-IN (INV) curve at time T-2, i.e., when the splice is made and the web length stored in the supplemental accumulator 30B is available to supply the main accumulator 20.
Before time T-2, the curves WEB-IN (INV) and WEB-IN (PA) are co-incident. Between time T-2 and the later time T-5 at which the fresh roll attains full running speed, curve WEB IN (INV) lies between the other two curves WEB-IN (PA) and WEB-OUT. As can be seen clearly in the graph of FIG. 2, the time T-3 at which the speeds of web into and out of the main accumulator are equal occurs for curve WEB-IN (INV) sooner than the corresponding time T-4 for curve WEB-IN (PA), and the value of the amount of web depleted at time T-3 (designated S-3) is smaller than the corresponding value S-4 for curve WEB-IN (PA). Furthermore, full running speed is attained earlier for apparatus 10 than for the conventional apparatus, that is, T-5 is less than T-6. This means that the main accumulator 20 of the improved apparatus 10 can be down-sized.
Correspondingly, if the fresh roll 26 were to start accelerating at a time prior to T-0, further reduction in the required storage capacity of the main accumulator 20 could be achieved. Of course, to do so, the supplemental accumulators 30A and 30B would have to be larger to accommodate the additional web length produced by the earlier acceleration and the greater speed of the fresh roll 26 attained by that acceleration before the supplemental accumulator 30A can yield up its stored web length to the main accumulator 20 after the splice is made.
To further illustrate the advantages of the present invention, FIG. 3 depicts the length of unwound web depleted from a roll undergoing constant acceleration of 6.22 feet per second squared as a function of time. Also shown is the length of web depleted from the main accumulator 20 at a constant running speed of 2,500 feet per minute. As can be seen, the length of web which is unwound from the roll during the initial few seconds is relatively small (e.g., under 50 feet in total) and hence can be readily accommodated with a small capacity supplemental accumulator. Furthermore, the length of time saved by pre-acceleration of even a few seconds permits a significant size reduction in the main accumulator 20 which needs to store 41.66 feet of web for each second of running time at the illustrated speed during the splicing procedure. Put in another way, a small supplemental accumulator 30A, 30B can yield a much larger storage reduction in the main accumulator 20.
This can be more fully appreciated from the following table which sets out the web storage requirements of the main accumulator 20 and the combined storage capacity of the supplemental accumulators 30A and 30B, as well as the total storage requirements of the apparatus 10, as a function of the pre-acceleration time (expressed as a period of seconds before or after the start of roll braking, though other reference times could have been utilized instead):
The values given in this table were generated specifically for the above-mentioned running speed and roll acceleration. The combined storage capacity of the supplemental accumulators 30A, 30B given in the table assumes that they are of equal size. Obviously, to obtain the capacity of either supplemental accumulator 30A or 30B, the combined capacity value simply is divided in half.
As can be seen in the first row of table entries, when the combined storage capacity of the supplemental accumulators is zero, the apparatus 10 effectively has only a single accumulator as in the conventional apparatus. With this the case, the acceleration starts just after the splice is made, i.e., at two seconds after the start of roll braking. The total storage capacity of apparatus 10 is equal to the storage capacity of the main accumulator 20, which is 225 feet.
The other rows of table entries reflect acceleration starting times occurring prior to splicing. The earlier the acceleration starting time, the larger must be the storage capacity of the supplemental accumulators 30A, 30B. Thus, for example, when the start of acceleration occurs simultaneous with the start of braking, i.e., at an acceleration starting time of zero in the table, the combined storage capacity of the supplemental accumulators 30A, 30B is 24.8 feet (12.4 feet each) and the main accumulator 20 is sized to hold 140 feet of web. This yields a total storage capacity for apparatus 10 of 164.8, which is over 60 feet less than the 225 feet required for the single accumulator of the conventional apparatus. This clearly illustrates the savings in storage requirements realized by the invention.
In addition to these advantages in accumulator storage requirements and web running speed, apparatus 10 can be designed to carry out the various splicing procedures at optimal time intervals to minimize web tension upsets associated with splicing operations of the conventional apparatus. For instance, the braking time of the expiring roll can be increased slightly in order to reduce the likelihood of a web tension upset due to the application of the brake to the running roll preparatory to splicing.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth hereinabove, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained. Also, certain changes may be made in the above-described construction without departing from the scope of the invention.
For example, supplemental accumulators may be incorporated into a dual-roll web winder/splicer of the type disclosed in commonly-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 3,813,053, entitled "Web Winding Machines" (the disclosure of which being incorporated herein by reference). Such winding machines permit a length of web to be wound continuously onto a single roll. Such an improved winder/splicer 100 is illustrated in FIG. 4. As the winding web roll at a first winding station 102 becomes completely wound, the web is stopped or slowed so that a splice is formed by a splicing head 104 between the running web and a leader secured to an empty core at a second or alternate winding station 106. During splicing, web coming into the winder/splicer 100 is stored in a main accumulator 108. The main accumulator 108 is empty during normal operation and stores web entering the winder/splicer 100 during the splicing procedure.
Pre-acceleration of the empty core is made possible by the incorporation of a supplemental accumulator 110A interposed between the splicing head and the empty core. In this application, the supplemental accumulator 110A is normally maintained at near full capacity and is drawn down during the splice. Analogous to the web handling apparatus 10, a second supplemental accumulator 110B is provided along the web path between the first winding station 102 and the splicing head 104 to permit pre-acceleration when that winding station has the empty core.
Therefore, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and those made obvious herefrom.

Individual Event Tickets for 2005 Dressage and Jumping World Cup Finals Go On Sale November 1
US Equestrian
The Dressage and Jumping World Cup Finals will light up Las Vegas like never before when they come together at the Thomas and Mack Center, April 20-24, 2005. Individual tickets go on sale November 1, and they will go quickly, so spectators are advised to purchase early.
Series tickets have been selling at an almost unbelievable rate, already surpassing the total ticket sales from 2003, the last time the Budweiser Jumping World Cup Final took center stage in Las Vegas. The start of individual event ticket sales will allow spectators not able to be in Las Vegas for the entire World Cup to still participate in the excitement of the event according to their own schedules.
"We cannot express the sense of excitement we feel about the overwhelming demand we're seeing for World Cup tickets," said Las Vegas Events President Pat Christenson. "We're really pleased that, now, starting November 1, another great option will be available for those who are only able to catch the action on a particular day. And best of all, people will be able to order their tickets online, whether it's for jumping or dressage."
Individual event tickets will be available for the Jumping World Cup at $200 for VIP seating, $60-85 for Plaza seating, and $30-60 for Balcony seating. For dressage, individual tickets are $150 for VIP, $60-85 for Plaza, and $30-55 for Balcony. Prices vary depending on event date. To order, please call (866) 388-3267 or visit www.worldcuplasvegas.com.
For more information on the 2005 Jumping and Dressage World Cup Finals, please call Las Vegas Events, Inc., at (702) 260-8605 or visit the official website at www.worldcuplasvegas.com.

Definition of aileron in English:
A hinged surface in the trailing edge of an airplane wing, used to control lateral balance.
Example sentences
- Each wing has a single aileron surface on the trailing edge to control roll and two flaps to control lift and drag.
- The other intuitive reaction is to attempt to roll the aircraft with ailerons to level the wings.
- Put the palm of your hand against the bottom of the leading edge of the aileron at each hinge and push up.
Early 20th century: French, literally 'small wing'.

I have lived in the Milwaukee metropolitan area for most of my life. I
have a wonderful wife Kirstie, a 9 year old girl named Abigail, two boys, Micah David, who
is now 7 years old and Peter Zion who is 3. We enjoy long walks,
reading, camping, traveling, and just having fun. Kirstie's dad lives in
Vail, CO, so of course we always look forward to visiting the mountains. We
are still new to Colgate, and are enjoying the area very much.
I graduated with a B.A. from Concordia University in Mequon in May of
2000. Seven years ago I achieved a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction
from National Louis University. I recently finished taking technology classes
at NLU to enhance my skills in the classroom, as well as the computer lab.
This is my eleventh consecutive year teaching fifth grade in the Germantown
District. Many of you knew me from when I taught second grade here at Amy
Belle. I also taught eighth grade at KMS during one year. I am glad to be
here at Amy Belle and thoroughly enjoy working with fifth graders.
My personal interests include biking, reading, playing with Abigail,
Micah, and Peter, going to church, cooking, and quiet times with my wife. This is my
sixteenth year teaching, and I can honestly say I enjoy it more every year.
Preparing students for life.

Wish You Weren't Here; It's Been Live and Let Live Until Today, But Now the Greeting Card Wars Are Under Way
By DANA CANEDY
Published: November 20, 1997
When it comes to finding ways to express truly modern sentiments, greeting card companies have long been at a loss for words.
So the two pillars of the industry are taking a deep breath and trying some new tricks. American Greetings is dropping most of its traditional cards and replacing them with lines that address drug addiction, terminal illness and other issues it once shied away from. And Hallmark Cards has come out with hundreds of cards for occasions in which get well or sympathy greetings send the wrong message.
Cards now express such thoughts as ''hope this is one of your better days'' and ''while there is time, let us talk of what matters.''
These modern messages, of course, are aimed as much at customers' wallets as their hearts, because in the $7 billion greeting-card industry, the battle lines are rapidly being redrawn.
For decades, Hallmark Cards Inc., which sells an estimated 42 percent of the nation's cards, stuck mainly to greeting-card shops, while the American Greetings Corporation, with 35 percent, had supermarkets and discount stores largely to itself. So the rivals merely eyed each other from a safe distance.
But with mass retailers crowding the retail landscape, Hallmark is increasingly nosing into American Greetings' turf, setting off a nasty war that no get well card will smooth over.
''To some degree they are all sort of going into one another's territory and all trying to appear to have an alternative, cutting-edge style,'' said Lynne Hamilton, a fund manager for Society Asset Management, a unit of Keycorp, which owns 14,000 shares of American Greetings.
One force for change is that this is a mature industry, with existing holidays pretty much milked dry. Sales volume has been flat or down for several years, with most growth coming from acquisitions and price increases. And more people communicate by E-mail, have little time to shop or are bored with outdated greetings.
But the main cause of conflict is simply the change in where people buy cards. Americans now buy an estimated 65 percent of greeting cards at mass retailers instead of card shops, up from 45 percent 15 years ago.
Hallmark insists that its card shops are not dying, but it is nonetheless trying to move rapidly into American Greetings' turf in discount stores. In a big shift last year, it offered its powerful brand name to discount stores and supermarkets by starting a line it calls Expressions from Hallmark.
Hallmark's move, though, angered owners of some independent card shops that carry its brand. ''This Expressions from Hallmark going in Wal-Mart is certainly going to hurt me,'' said Marsha Marino, owner of Marsha's card shop in Pharr, Tex. ''There is a Wal-Mart store less than a mile away.''
Expressions, she said, is proof of Hallmark's desperation to move into mass retail channels. ''People don't have to go to Hallmark stores to buy cards anymore,'' she said. ''They can pick up cards at the car wash.''
Hallmark, Ms. Marino said, is pressuring independent shop owners to join its Gold Crown network, a distinction given to shops that adhere to certain standards. ''They impose very stringent policies I couldn't afford,'' she said. ''I was forced to buy product I wouldn't normally buy.''
The battle is marked by a rising level of bickering. American Greetings says Hallmark made a crucial error in continuing to sink money into card shops when consumers began to buy valentines where they shop for eggs and blue jeans. Hallmark, meanwhile, contends that American Greetings is paying retailers increasingly large sums for shelf space because its cards lack cachet.
''American Greetings went in and offered a lot of money to Walgreen to take over our shelf space,'' said Irvine O. Hockaday Jr., president and chief executive of Hallmark, a $3.6 billion company based in Kansas City, Mo. ''They must have figured they had to do something to dislodge us, but Walgreen turned them down and kept the Hallmark brand. If you are our competition you fight with money.''
American Greetings counters that when tooting its own horn, Hallmark fails to talk about large retailers like Target that still do not carry its cards. Besides, the company ''hasn't had a whole lot positive to write about,'' said Morry Weiss, chairman and chief executive of American Greetings, a $2.2 billion company based in Cleveland.
''Hallmark has come to the realization that they can't make it in specialty retail, and for them to survive they have to become more aggressive in the mass retail channel,'' Mr. Weiss said.
Industry leaders have even started crowing about their victories in the marketplace. American Greetings, which is known for its low-key style, for the first time listed the names of many of its major accounts on the cover of this year's annual report.
For its part, Hallmark, in a recent employee newsletter, announced the winners of gift certificates to mark its takeover of 320 Wal-Mart stores.
Even as it goes after the mass market, Hallmark says it remains committed to its card shops. Doranne Hudson, who is in charge of card shop retailing at Hallmark, said that 5,000 of the 8,000 stores that carry the Hallmark brand have opted for Gold Crown status. None, she said, were forced to participate.

I'm being suite because I cosigned a private student loan for my ex brother in-law and he is defaulting on the loan.
Family Law Attorney
You can be sued if he defaults on a loan you co-signed. I don't understand the rest of your question because you are not giving enough facts. What property are they trying to lien and what is your involvement with that property. Is it your ex brother in law's property? Because they can pursue you both at the same time. Is this property in the state of Florida? Florida is not a community property state.
***Please be sure to mark if you find the answer "helpful" or a "best" answer. Thank you! I hope this helps. ******
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
I agree we need more facts to better answer your question. Based upon the limited information in your question, it would appear that youare liable for the debt, however, Florida does have laws that protect your homestead.
Bankruptcy Attorney
When you say "debtor", I believe you mean the lender. A lender is called the creditor. A creditor that sues you and gets a judgment against you, can place a lien on property that you own. If your name is not on the title to the property, no judgment against you will cause a lien to attach to that property.
Good Luck.

Here is the deal. The 49er's dont have a lot of talent. OK?! It ain't rocket science. We are an average team at best. Did you all see what happened when we went deep and Crabtree fought and caught the ball for the TD. That is talent. We have been suckered into thinking our drafts have been solid...you know we have depth....we are always on the VERGE of making the playoffs. What a crock of sh*T!
Do we love our 49ers. Of course. We wouldn't be on this website if we did'nt. But FU*K!!!!!!!...Did we see the Falcons?!?! These muthaf**k*as were 4-12 in 2007...and then they get a QB and they go 11-5. Look at the Ravens. Those b*****ds get Flacco and what do we know...playoffs. Is this what the hell we are looking forward too...the Playoffs (insert Jim Mora here...) This is Bullsh*t. We ARE BEING BAMBOOZLED...Shook...PLAYED. I love the 49ers. My son's first word was 49ers. But I must say as a fan I am tired of the BS that is fed year in and year out. WE WANT TO SEE RESULTS. We are TIRED of being a cusp team. A work in progress. We want to be to WIN. I am done with the rational that we are ALMOST THERE...or...we need our talent to develop. I mean how much time does A. Snyder need....how much time does A. Smith need? Fu*k it ...how much time does our whole Offensive line need?!?! I mean these cats are pretty sad. Where is our team Webzone?? What the hell is the deal.....................??

Starting December 2006 a recurring bill of $49.95 appeared on my credit card statement which I disputed repeatedly. It's a good thing my credit card company, bless them, honored my claims.
Today, March 29, 2007, I received an e-mail from Online Supplier invoicing me for a recurring bill of $49.95 for my membership to their online store. Now I learned the reason for the recurring bills, in addition to their website URL, telephone numbers and e-mail address. Funny thing is I never opted in nor applied for membership to their gimmick. I advised them by e-mail to cease from billing me. Next thing I'll do is advise my credit card company to ignore billings from this company and possibly blacklist this company.
Let this be a warning to others when dealing with Online Supplier.com

I was put through hell in the booking dept up there where they kept me for almost 2 months. I got beat in the bathroom. On several occasions. They harrass you over the intercom system its the afternoon shift and overnight shift mostly at that time in 2011.
There are others who went through other forms of stuff that should NEVER be going on in a jail. This is a jail not a state prison.
They mess with people who are messed up mentally or who are on drugs and the like and it needs to be stopped. I need to say no more about it. My lawyer knows about it and he defends them guards and gets them out of trouble. I witnessed an incident downstairs where this guard used this one inmate to use his head to open the door. The guard punched him first. Then 10-15 goons came down and the one who beat me slammed his head off a metal table they gave in the hole section of this place. People stay out of trouble you don't wanna go here expecially if you got mental issues your in for it....

In collaboration with the team from LOCKR Inc., I am proud to present "The Heritage Collection"; gear with a mind on the message, while feeling fashionable. The idea behind it all is that the work you put in cannot all be just stats, numbers and rankings.
I am a "puzzlist" (new word, you're welcome). I have a compulsion to solve for (x), find & place the pieces that show the bigger picture. If I pick up a new project or I want to learn a new technique, I'm not picking up a new hobby or tinkering; I am legitimately trying to solve a problem—even if that solution (x) is my own curiosity.
Put on hiatus a couple of years back as the refocusing of the parent brand RDQLUS CREATIVE was sharpened, the intent was (and is) always to keep the pulse and revive the popular "GOODS & CLOTH" imprint with precise timing… and that time is now.
Late last year, a youth sports organization approached RDQLUS CREATIVE to revamp their team logo for the coming season's new gear. Well, of course I couldn't leave well enough alone—I explained the importance of building a brand, and asked that if they trusted me and desired so, could I give them something a bit more collegiate that the kids and parents could rock as proudly as the Division-1 university teams in our town? They let me run with it, and I was all too happy to hold up my end of that bargain.
Remember that brilliant idea they came up with in that last meeting? That great direction that seemed to be a lightning bolt of genius at zero-hour to save the project? When was your meeting, again? Oh, okay… they asked me to meet with them the day before. You're welcome. (Yeah… it's like that.)
Shhhhhhhh... Just enjoy the Force. Feel free to pull your fave image to use as mobile or desktop wallpapers—or to just frame it on your mantle next to the family portrait.
One of the most long-standing RDQLUS projects has entered its most crucial phase; the implementing of the plan and putting the brand story & creative into action. The brand story behind "Highlander" is the raising of the level, and the idea that a rising tide does indeed lift all boats.
In an article I recently contibuted to "We Don't Coast" blog, I talk about hip hop artist Murs and how he shows respect for the fact that everyone is local somewhere—everywhere.
At random today, I would find myself with the biggest smile on my face and my eyes welling up—here's why; I stopped by my bank to deposit a large check, and order some personal checks. It was a complicated deposit that I needed to split but I couldn't get a cashier check until the funds cleared tonight. So no biggie, I'll do it tomorrow. As the staff kindly did their business, I bantered politely with the nice lady being helped just next to me. That's when things got interesting…

text: Using version 0.9.6.1 I am seeing an issue where "half on" cached pages are not being removed after their expiration time. With the default expiry at 3600 seconds, I have cached pages still being served after five full days! wp-content/cache is owned by the web server process and both it and all the contents of the directory are writable. Even after setting the expiry to 1799 seconds, the expired pages are not removed. Using the "Delete expired" or "Delete cache" buttons works fine to remove the expired files, suggesting there isn't a permission problem in the first place. Any ideas where I start looking for the source of the problem?

Roar Rampage, a side-scrolling arcade game from FDG Entertainment, is now available from the app store. Featuring wanton destruction, customizable character skins, and fun consumable power-ups to purchase, Roar Rampage is a great way to take out a little aggression at the end of the day.
Roar Rampage Pros:
- Colorful cartoon graphics and lots of destructible environmental objects
- Soundtrack is upbeat and appealing
- Controls utilize ultra-simple dragging or tapping
- Purchasable items, power-ups, and character customizations
- GameCenter integration for leaderboards and achievements
Roar Rampage Cons:
- Levels are short
- Gems aren't earned at a very quick pace, requiring lots of grinding to earn desired items
- Scoring method isn't very clear
You play as a Godzilla-like creature who resides on the screen's left side. The background scrolls toward the left, bringing buildings and aircraft into close proximity to the dinosaur's boxing glove-clad fist. Your only point of control is this glove, as you place your finger upon it and drag toward destructible objects in a manner that mimics punching. You must consider the movement of the shoulder and elbow, as well, to land the most effective punches. Alternatively, you can tap the screen for the dino to punch, too. Smashing aircraft into each other is a great way to take out multiple objects at once. Your boxing glove is also used to protect your dinosaur from incoming bullets and missiles fired from ground and air, as well as knock around a ball in an Arkanoid-type bonus game. Buildings typically take a few punches to decimate, breaking into pieces with each punch. You can even pick up occasional environmental objects like trains or wrecking balls and use these to club items, extend your reach, and deal greater damage. Destroyed objects typically leave behind gems which are collected by dragging your glove over them. Gems are used to purchase one-time use items like medkits and fire breath or power-ups like power, ice, fire, magnet, and lightning punches. You can also purchase skins and clothing for your dinosaur to change his image. You end each of the roughly minute-long campaign levels by punching a bell on the side of a building, which starts a mini-slot game that determines whether you earn a multiplier between 1x and 5x. There are 3 environments with 15 short levels in each, as well as an Endless World Tour mode to enjoy. The Endless mode includes missions that allow you to earn bunches of gems upon completion.
Graphically, the game has an old-school cartoony look and feel, with bright colors and objects that crumble into several pieces. The environments provide different backdrops and unique items. The arm articulations can feel a little awkward at times, and you really need to consider the positioning of joints when manipulating it to create powerful punches. It feels a little simplistic and the scoring isn't real clear. Each level rates you with up to 3 bombs based on performance, and the Endless mode rates you on how far you get before losing all of your health. Controls are easy to comprehend, but a bit difficult to learn how to use effectively. When things get a bit crazy, the game sort of devolves into just rubbing your finger up and down on the screen to try to block and destroy everything in sight. The soundtrack is arcade-y goodness and the sound effects are fun, too. Replay value comes from trying to earn missing bombs on campaign levels, besting your previous endless mode distance, or earning gems to trick out your dino. There are GameCenter leaderboards and achievements, too. It didn't take long for things to feel a little same-y, but it's a fun way to blow off some steam in occasional bursts. A universal app for $0.99, Roar Rampage is a 3.5-Dimple game.

I read in an interview with Cillian Murphy where he says that the producers are talking about doing a sequel to 28 Days Later. He says he would not be interested in doing it however.
