Vice City Virtue: Moral Issues in Digital Game Play
Karolien Poels and I have a book out, titled 'Vice City Virtue: Moral Issues in Digital Game Play'. The book can be ordered at Acco and Amazon.
In the book we collect essays and research papers by scholars with backgrounds in philosophy, theology, psychology, cultural studies and communication science. We address questions like 'under which circumstances is it morally wrong to engage in virtual violence?' or 'can games like Fallout 3 or Heavy Rain have a positive effect on our ethical reasoning?'. These and many others! We did not want to restrict ourselves to the 'games-and-violence' debate because we are convinced that games are about a lot more than violence and pornography. We think the different chapters together make a good case for considering games as a mature and versatile medium (or art form).

DIGRA 2011 meeting: Think, Design, Play
DiGRA meetings are a guarantee for meeting up with different types of people and exchanging ideas with researchers from completely different backgrounds. This year's meeting, under the motto 'Think, Design, Play', was no exception to this. We saw presentations on in-game advertising (among others a study by Laura Herrewijn) next to lectures on the use of UML-style modelling techniques to automatise the balancing of resources in games (Joris Dormans on his fascinating 'Machinations Framework') or on game involvement (Gordon Calleja digging deeper into the notion of incorporation) – spiced with a lot of entertaining keynotes on game design (Mary Flanegan, Eric Zimmerman, Reiner Knizia). Due to the large amount of parallel sessions I even had to miss Katia Aerts' presentation on the GameHub project (sorry for that!).
I had two presentations myself – both scheduled on Friday – the second day of the conference. During the morning I presented a paper I co-wrote with Thomas Laureyssens, discussing the main results of last year's 'Play' module. We focused on the design challenges one faces while developing games to be used on the workfloor – including the fact that one is targeting a very a-typical gaming public, that one has to consider emplyer-employee relationships (and more specific, the fact that a worker feels uncomfortable being caught playing at work), and that games have to be integrated in a specific public context. I introduced the design philosophy of Streetwize VZW, which is very well suited to address these challenges, given the importance it attributes to aspects such as a low learning treshold. Finally I described the four games that were developed in the context of the module, and pointed out which were the main design desicions made by our students. I include our presentation as an attachment to this post. The session was about 'designing games for work', and I was co-hosting the session with Finnish researcher Perttu Heino. His work targeted a similar research goal, as he is in the process of developing games that may enhance the abilities of engineers in a large professional country. During debate, which was structured as a meta-game in order to increase audience participation, it appeared that we could both learn a lot from one another's results – even though we had been working in completely different contexts. A lot of parrallel sessions were going on at the same time, but nevertheless the room was pretty crowded during our presentation. I had a good session.
Friday afternoon I was chairing a panel session, along with Karolien Poels, on morality in digital game play. The session was structured around our book, 'Vice City Virtue: Moral Issues in Digital Game Play' (Acco Academic, 2011). We had quite an impressive lineup of speakers, with Tilo Hartmann, Garry Young and Monica Whitty discussing the subject from a physchological point of view and presenting a number of highly relevant research results, and with Jose Zagal and myself (I'll leave in the middle how impressive that is!) addressing the subject from a cultural point of view. We had a heavily loaded session, with discussions regarding matters such as 'rational vs. experiential processing of virtual violence' or 'the ethical dilemma's contained in such games as Manhunt or Deus Ex'. It was very fun (and interesting!) to see those people in person and hear them reconstruct their arguments!

Annual AERA conference – April 8-12 2011
Even though many speakers at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) were big names in the field of game studies (Yasmin Kafai, Constance Steinkuehler, Richard Van Eck, James Paul Gee, Kurt Squire, to name only a few), the conference proved far from familiar territory. Research on the educational potential of digital games appears to take place in somewhat of a vacuum compared to research on the attractions, effects and culture of digital games (i.e. what I would consider as 'familiar territory'). This manifested itself in a debate that to us was one of the highlights of the conference. In this debate different researchers were exploring the instructional potential of digital games based upon empirical research. Richard Clark claimed that there currently is hardly any evidence supporting the assertion that digital games have positive educational effects. Clark emphasized that not enough is known yet about the interactive nature of digital games, and about the benefits compared to traditional methods of teaching. On the other hand, Val Schute saw a lot of potential in digital games. She pointed at numerous empirical studies, and emphasized that digital games can be useful for different types of learning: learning of 'traditional' material in addition to cognitive skills and so-called 21st century skills.
In our opinion, many points of disagreement could have been solved with a more thorough understanding of the nature of digital games, and of research in the more general domain of game studies. There exist numerous definitions of digital games and of interactivity in games, and these definitions might have helped contextualizing the arguments of both sides. In the field of communication studies digital games are being intensively studied regarding the conditions under which a specific social or psychological effect might occur – this as opposed to educational research which too often focuses on finding a general effect that applies to all games or to broad game genres.
During the debate we (=colleague Bob De Schutter and I) decided to slightly change the focus of our own presentation (which was scheduled a day later) based upon these concerns. We decided to put a stronger emphasis on the usefulness of methods and theories from communication studies as aids in overcoming a number of difficulties in Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) research. Drawing on previous studies we had done on the application of cultivation research, Elaboration Likelihood research, and research we had done on game realism, we made a plea for an increased interdisciplinary approach in the field of educational gaming. Following our presentation we sat together with Richard Van Eck (University of North Dakota), to write down our first ideas for an upcoming paper (still in progress!) on the similarities between media research and educational research.
During other sessions different subjects were tackled that were extremely relevant to us as game researchers and (in Bob's case) designers: How to integrate game design and game research more intensively? (Yuxin Ma presenting a very interesting case with the 'Conquest of the Coastlands' game); How to integrate games in a classroom context? (William Watson and Christopher Mong presenting a case study on teachers experiences with the 'Making History' game ); Numerous studies on the attitudes of teachers towards using games, and numerous case studies on the use of specific games in the classroom (of which we remember one convincing case made by Jayne Lammers regarding the Sims as an affinity space for acquiring various skills).
Many speakers demonstrated -once again- that motivation is a crucial and at the same time very complicated subject for those interested in instructional games. There were four entire sessions dedicated to the work of educational philosopher John Dewey, and to the different applications of his insights in DGBL. These sessions proved highly interesting for us as introductions to the field of pedagogy and educational psychology, and allowed us to broaden our scopes as researchers and thinkers.

It's the last day of Pagan Values Month, and while I didn't manage to post something every day, I posted enough that this became my core writing project for the month. While I would argue that all Pagan blogging is somehow Pagan values blogging, it is nice to stop, focus and really think about your values at least once a year. Especially since, if you're alive and paying attention, your values will change.
I do not keep all the same values I brought with me into Wicca back in the mid 1990s. I now see benefits to being mainstream, because some of that is closure to my true self. I publicly admitted that I hate camping, and can love nature while honoring that evolution, nature's own steward, has ushered me into a sensible cave (apartment.) As I've lived to see the world change, and I will live to see it change even more, I have adjusted many of my values to those changes.
- I value courtesy, because it provides a common language when we are unsure whether we have common ground.
- I value honor, because keeping promises and contracts is the only certainty we can have about the human condition and the social contract. I may take twenty years or more to keep my promises, but I do fulfill them the moment I get an opportunity.
- I value continuous education, because the world does not stop changing, and as long as I live here, it's my job to learn about it. It's better than running on the assumption you can get AIDS from a toilet seat, or that people of a different color have a naturally lower IQ. (Both are false.)
- I value self-care, because the one life I am charged with the responsibility to tend to from start to finish is my own.
- I value friendships formed in sincerity and authenticity. It doesn't matter how or where they form, only that they are about people being their real selves together for mutual enjoyment and support.
Hopefully next year I can delve deeper into some of the topics I just made brief notes on. Perhaps my views will have mellowed and changed. I can only know then.
In the meantime, it's a great chance to read up on what other bloggers have posted. You can keep up on the event throughout the year by checking the Pagan Values Blogject page.

A huge development around the Brookhaven MARTA station may still happen.
That's after plans recently hit a dead end.
MARTA has been pursuing transit-oriented development throughout metro Atlanta.
Those are mixed-use developments located at or near MARTA stations.
"We think it's a great way to bring additional activity around the MARTA stations to accommodate density in a place where there's already infrastructure and that it's a real asset both for us and for the communities," MARTA chairman Robbie Ashe said.
Discussions about a development between Brookhaven officials and MARTA fell apart earlier this month.
"We put forth a vision that didn't quite get across the finish line last time," Ashe said.
However, although previous plans have been scrapped, Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst says there's a chance things will work out.
"MARTA and Brookhaven have agreed that we'll take a small, little cooling-off period here and regroup here in the near future and see if we can come up with a plan that would be right for my citizens and right for MARTA," he said.
Ashe says Brookhaven's concerns include traffic, but there are other issues as well.
No word yet on when the two sides will meet again.

please fix!
really want to see piersol!
Bobo Gigi, Not that I disagree with you.
But the women 4×100 free is on the first day.
Men's 200 breast. Who is Scott Weltz? His last 50 were impressive. Very disappointed about Eric Shanteau. But open your eyes, american swimmers will not win medals in this race. And I'm not sure the 2 who will go to London will swim faster and even as fast in one month. I think they were at their top to qualify. How many times have we seen american swimmers who have swum much slower at the olympic games because they hadn't the same energy one month later anymore? They can perhaps swim a final.
Weltz has been around on the national scene for a little while, and he has fantastic coaches. Maybe one of the most under-appreciated college coaches in the history of the sport in Pete Motekaitis.
Count it right here, you're going to eat your words. Just like I said he'd make it in the 200.
I didn't know him like I think most of swimming fans in the world. And it's good to see new swimmers at the best level. His finish was incredible. And I don't want to eat my words like you have said so nicely. Is he able to repeat the same thing and perhaps better in one month? That was my only question. I think he was fully tapered for these trials. And don't forget he will probably have to swim around 2.10 to qualify on semi-finals, 2.09 to qualify on final and then 2.08 to win a medal. It will not be the same road. But perhaps he's just a big talent who hasn't finished to surprise us.

The Miles in the Sky Ensemble
Arboretum Festival
Albert Island, Ottawa River
Friday, August 21, 2015 - 11:30 p.m.
View photos of this performance
When Miles Davis turned his jazz electric in the late 60s and early 70s, it was much more than a change in instrumentation. The new music was fused with rock concepts, it was run through effects generators, it was amplified, and it was charged with excitement.
That excitement was captured by the Miles in the Sky Ensemble in its late-night show at the Arboretum Festival Friday. In their 90-minute show, the ensemble produced a highly interactive and often thrilling performance, playing pieces from four of Davis' electric/jazz fusion albums (although, oddly enough, none from his Miles in the Sky album).
It might not have been what the mostly-under-35 audience was expecting – the printed schedule described the show as "PHREAK OUT: a psych-funk after party" – but the ensemble's rock-like presentation and high energy appeared to connect with many who danced to and listened to the music.
The show was the brainchild of local jazz pianist and DJ Adam Saikaley – and a successor to his group's successful tribute last year to another Miles Davis album, Filles de Kilimanjaro. That 1968 album showed Davis in transition from modal/acoustic to electric; this show followed Davis further along that process, paying tribute to four electric-era albums released from 1969 to 1974.
More than half of the pieces were from Davis' landmark and award-winning album, Bitches Brew, including its title track. But, as with the Filles tribute, this show was a conversation with the material, rather than a note-for-note re-creation. Saikaley rearranged the pieces for his much smaller sextet, keeping essential instruments like trumpet and soprano sax – but Ed Lister wasn't copying Miles Davis, nor Linsey Wellman copying Wayne Shorter, and there was a great deal of improvising within the songs' frameworks.
The show opened with "Black Satin", an intense showcase for Lister's trumpet and Alex Moxon's electric guitar. A commanding drum rhythm from Mike Essoudry started the music, and with Marc Decho's electric bass joining in, quickly became funky and compelling. My notebook was vibrating in my hand with the powerful beat from the stage. Then trumpet and guitar sliced through the sound, calling out.
By the end of this number, the room was filling up fast as listeners came from the Main Stage, where the night's main act had just finished. It was a mixed crowd – some listening intently or dancing, some more interested in socializing.
Then came three pieces from Bitches Brew. The fast-paced "Spanish Key" featured alternating sparkling lines on Rhodes from Saikaley and soaring trumpet lines from Lister, as well as needle-sharp guitar lines from Moxon. "Pharaoh's Dance" began with hard-edged trumpet over rumbling drums, and fuzzed guitar. Partway through, Lister softened the sound with longer, more melodic lines, but then Wellman entered on soprano sax, rough and high. Trumpet and sax lines entwined, spiraling upwards in a joyous anthem, before the piece returned to to its rumbling beat.
"Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" was a slower number, featuring bluesy trumpet lines over atmospheric riffs on the Rhodes. "Ife", the last-recorded of the songs, was a funky number with Decho's bass and Wellman's bass clarinet both adding to the deep underpinnings in the music.
By this point, the ensemble had been playing for an hour and the crowd had started to thin out somewhat. But, in fact, the last two numbers were the most memorable of the night as the band was fully warmed up and thoroughly into the music. "Shhh/Peaceful" featured Wellman on bass clarinet, in a dramatic, extended, East-Indian-influenced solo, which, as Lister joined in, became hard and punctuated and demanding.
The sextet closed with "Bitches Brew", beginning with a cacophonous wall of sound, vibrating and atonal. With a hard thumping beat heightening the energy level, Lister's trumpet circled over, accompanied by deliberate, fluid guitar lines from Moxon. But it was Wellman on soprano sax that really went all out, with fast notes popping out, punching higher and higher over repeated riffs from the Rhodes, bass and drums. Lister added knife-edged trumpet lines, and the whole room shook with the sound before they finally let the music fade out.
The show animated an old brick and wood industrial warehouse on Albert Island off Booth Street, mid-river between Ottawa and Gatineau and just north of the Canadian War Museum. The island is part of the former Domtar industrial lands recently bought for a major condo/commercial redevelopment, and the festival was the first public event held there in several hundred years.
The gritty, industrial vibe of the location and its stripped-down feel suited the intensity and occasional harshness of the music. However, I wasn't convinced that the sound engineer had fully allowed for the large space, huge wood and metal columns, and high ceilings in the warehouse, or the reflectivity of its walls and concrete floor – and for certain the volume was turned up far too high. Both photojournalist Brett Delmage and I were forced to wear earplugs for much of the show to attenuate the loudness enough that it stopped hurting and to protect our hearing.
The excessive loudness meant that some of the subtleties in the music were lost – there were times when I could see Wellman playing his bass clarinet or Saikaley's hands skimming over the keyboards, but not hear them. Saikaley's introductions to each piece were also often muffled. I was sitting in front of the sound board, 15m back from the stage, which should have been a good place to listen from.
If you listen to the original Bitches Brew CD, for example, there's a large dynamic range and even some silence in the music. It may have been electric, but that didn't mean it lacked variation – and I think part of that was lost by constantly cranking up the volume too high in the live show. This was supposed to be an end-of-evening chill-out – it could have reduced by decibels by one-quarter or one-third and still have put out plenty of energy for the dancers.
But I was still very impressed by the dynamism of this music and the care and beauty that the musicians brought to it. The duets between Wellman and Lister were quite extraordinary. I'd love to hear this tribute again, further refined, in a more listening-friendly venue.

Peter Cunningham, a professional spin-doctor, today attacked Diane Ravitch and her yet to be published book, The Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools. Wow! she must have hit a nerve!
There is no doubt that with his governmental and political connections Cunningham is privy to monitored information gathered by means of modern surveillance.
"I served as Assistant Secretary for Communications and Outreach in the U.S. Department of Education, where one of my jobs was to monitor criticism of our policies and develop our responses… I understand that Dr. Ravitch is about to publish another book attacking education reform. She will go after my good friend Arne Duncan."
Cunningham goes on to "predict" the evils of her book-to-be.
"She will call on America to invest more in fighting poverty, as if we have not spent tens of trillions of dollars fighting poverty since the New Deal and the Great Society and will spend tens of trillions more… Worst of all, she will use poverty as an excuse to avoid any responsibility on the part of the federal government, states, districts, schools and educators — collectively — to somehow do a better job of educating poor kids."
Treating her as a certain enemy of the people in the ongoing War on Terror, he concludes by stating, "But we can never, ever retreat."
See the full attack HERE.
Wow! Propaganda 101 was never better. George Orwell could learn a bit from Peter. The Heritage Foundation must be proud of him, too.
But, he's only following orders – doing his scurrilous job of character assassination. Hey, the guy's got to make a living somehow.
Personally, I can hardly wait to read Diane Ravitch's new book!
We can advance-order it at Amazon HERE.
It simply has to be terrific and true in order to elicit this nasty preemptive strike from a professional of Cunningham's "caliber."
For only $14.99 order more copies for your friends and neighbors! After all, weren't we told to spend money to stir the economy and create jobs or the terrorists will win?

DUBLIN – Official returns show that voters have approved an amendment to insert stronger rights for children into Ireland's constitution with a narrower-than-expected 57.4 percent "yes" vote.
Only a third of registered voters participated in Saturday's referendum, reflecting a low-key campaign. All political parties and children's charities supported the "yes" side.
Prime Minister Enda Kenny said Sunday the amendment will allow his government to pass laws making it easier for Irish children to be adopted, for courts to remove children from abusive homes and for children to testify in court.
Analysts say the unexpectedly high "no" vote reflects low turnout among "yes" voters, anti-government feeling, and a surprise Supreme Court ruling.
Ireland's highest court found that the government's information booklet on the children's rights amendment was biased and violated referendum law.

A dark cloud has moved above the future of the British grand prix.
A report in the Telegraph newspaper quotes Silverstone's managing director Patrick Allen as saying funding has become a problem, raising the prospect the historic race will be scratched.
Writers Christian Sylt, Caroline Reid and Lucy Morson explained that with track bosses a year behind in the race fee to Bernie Ecclestone, a 'letter of credit' is now necessary to guarantee the 2016 race is not axed.
F1 CEO Ecclestone confirmed: "They (Silverstone) are paying next year for this year's race because I have allowed them to do this otherwise they would have closed before."
And Allen said: "Can I guarantee the future? No I can't.
"Could I hand on heart say to Mr Ecclestone, 'Don't worry, your money is absolutely safe for the next 10 years'? No I couldn't.
"To pull the contract would be a sad thing for Silverstone, it would be a sad thing for motor racing and it would be a very sad thing for Britain," he added.
The solution, Allen suggested, is for Silverstone to find a buyer.
"You want somebody that has got lots of money, who loves motor racing, who really wants to run Silverstone profitably but has the capital to inject into the business so it fixes the balance sheet and takes the risk profile away," he said.
1 Comment
Crazy how one of the (I have to imagine) most well-attended races on the calendar could be in danger, this really shows that unless you have oil money (or something similar) you just can't be in F1 any more. And in my book that's a real shame.

The neighbourhood concept is arguably one of the major planning landmarks that shaped the urban form of the twentieth century city in many countries. Preiser has chaired national committees in the US, among others, for the National Academy of Sciences; Aaron T. Modern planners hate that because it's not tidy. Dismissive critics – the Woodmans of this world who seem to relish the more in their condescension, the more the reputation of the object of their condescension has grown should perhaps slow down a bit in their (pre-) judgement and reflect on their role as mediators between the discourse of architecture and the interested public.

In my definition, the goal of an enterprise is not to completely document every business process, every software system, and every database record that exists throughout the organization. Instead, my definition assumes a much more pragmatic goal: finding opportunities to use technology to add business value. If adding business value is not the ultimate goal of an enterprise architecture, then the energy put into creating that enterprise architecture has been badly misplaced , source: http://anuvaadan.com/ebooks/philip-johnson-alan-ritchie-architects. It is an important piece for people interested in urban design to read. As clever and spot-on as some of her critiques are, however, Goldhagen still comes across as an architect talking about landscape, even going so far as to proclaim "The great urban park must be architectural." Her point—which I agree with—is that urban parks need to be of a scale and character that can hold their own against the dense urban environments they inhabit, but her choice of phrase conveys a bias that carries throughout the piece http://mattachinesocial.com/library/buildings-of-alaska-buildings-of-the-united-states. As a critic rightly observed, there was in question a radical difference of temperament. To the French, Italian exuberance verged on the indecorous, if not wilfulness and bad taste. Rather than as artists, French architects considered themselves professional men, dedicated to the service and the glorification of their king http://business.12dakot.com/books/new-architecture-in-scotland. Similarly, parents and kids can enjoy the paediatric playground – instead of an impersonal waiting room –while they wait for anxiety-inducing test results or for family members to emerge from the procedural areas.

The result is a facility that benefits many users, on many levels http://12dakot.com/library/form-issue-191-zeitschrift-form.

|Reviews for Kissing Jirou
| Yudachi chapter 1 . 12/20/2008
Jirou was mine, forever.
- That line got me.
| sympatheticassassin chapter 1 . 8/16/2008
A review you shall have then. This is great! I love reading a well done Atobe. He cracks me up. The moment was very sweet as well.
| MazokuTenshi chapter 1 . 2/22/2008
' "They're so loud," he mumbled, pouting. He is, by the way, absolutely adorable when he pouts. I would like to say that he is not quite as adorable as I, but if we are to be completely honest (and I always try to be, to the best of my indeed awesome ability) he is far cuter than me. That is fine, though; I am prettier than he is, so we're even. '
Haha. Funny, and cute.
| happyymint chapter 1 . 8/21/2007
Your absolutely right! O_O The sea...of cuteness...too strong...*drowns* x_x Seriously though, I loved it. :3
| firefly12 chapter 1 . 8/15/2007
This is so adorable! I really do think that Atobe would say it was all Jirou's fault, even though he really wanted to kiss him anyway. Best fic ever! :D
| theVoiceInsideYourHead chapter 1 . 7/21/2007
I join you in the drowning. The sea of cuteness is too strong!
| Rawr chapter 1 . 7/9/2007
I LOVED the way you settled the origins of their backgrounds. Especially for Jirou. I always thought he was french or something...O_O
Don't ask, but yeah...
And Yes. The cuteness overwhelms
Very good.
I'd pick at it...but I'm too subdued to criticize...-swoons-
| Graffithe chapter 1 . 6/7/2007
I actually started to think about the New Year thingy by myself, and I'll thank you for getting me into deep thinking. And what a wonderful fic this was! Yay!
| Mrs Hatake Itachi chapter 1 . 5/30/2007

| gray.blob chapter 1 . 4/9/2007
"That is fine, though; I am prettier than he is, so we're even."
LOL atobe... _ this fic made me laugh a few times. it's so cute! *squeal* XD
| Gwynhafra chapter 1 . 3/19/2007
lol. Atobe X Jirou fics are kinda cute. So even the mighty 'ore-sama' Atobe Keigo is weak against Jirou on New Year's Day. Hmm...this would be good blackmail material. Now where is Fuji and his camera when you need him?
| Winter Marshmellow chapter 1 . 3/19/2007
Oh my, this is one of the most adorable AtoJi fics that I have ever read. The part about countries having different New Years is so true. How did people expect the world to end?
Write more AtoJi, ne?
| Kimie chan chapter 1 . 3/19/2007
I wanted to see a little bit more... P
But perfect. Really.
So much that I wanted to review it!
Bye *
| thousandbirds chapter 1 . 3/19/2007
That was so cute, so sweet, so wonderfully written, so AMAZING!
Jirou is very cute and hyperactive ! I am sorry that I couldn't add it to favourite since it's over 150 but I'll be adding it into memories in live Journal.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 133,394 filed Mar. 24, 1980, and now abandoned.
This invention relates to the continuous treatment of textile and similar webs of material in general and more particularly to an improved method and apparatus for applying a foam treatment medium to textile and similar webs.
A method for the continuous treatment of a web of material of textiles or paper, particularly a dyeing treatment, by applying foam is known from DE-OS 27 22 082. The foam is applied directly to the substrate by means of a nozzle. Although it may be possible to satisfactorily apply large amounts of liquids in the form of foam to a web of material in this manner, it is not suitable for particularly small amounts of liquid because, the unavoidable variations of the amount of liquid applied by the nozzle to a given point of the web of material and also the local variations in the absorptivity of the web of material for the liquid, can lead to considerable relative differences in the coverage of the web of material, which manifest themselves in distinctly visible differences in the depth of the color upon dyeing. Even a later wiping off or squeezing off, as is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,719,806 for the preparation of coatings, cannot bring, according to experience, aequate uniformity of the application for the dyeing process.
From U.S. Pat. No. 2,795,207, a coating arrangement is known, in which two cylinders are disposed opposite and parallel to each other at the same height and at an adjustable spacing. The web of material runs over the one cylinder, through the gap between the cylinders and around the lower part of the second cylinder. In the upper corner between the two cylinders, a foam feeding arrangement is provided which delivers the foam into the gap between the two cylinders so that it lies, on the one hand, on the surface of the second cylinder and, on the other hand, on the side of the web facing the former. The foam is fed in approximately at the height of the point at which the web of material is transferred from the first cylinder to the second one. The foam layer remains between the web of material and the second cylinder and separates from the second drum again after having travelled through a loop angle of about 180� with the web.
This design is intended for the preparation of coatings of the web of material with foam rubber, where the coating is to be maintained as a layer having a thickness of its own. Slight variations in the feeding of the foam do not matter here because they are mechanically equalized by the subsequent revolution about the second cylinder. In an attempt to dye with this known design, however, the unavoidable local differences in foam feeding would manifest themselves in a different coverage of the web of material with dyeing liquid, which leads to a non-uniform depth of color. This is true particularly because the foam is applied directly to the web of material and is accepted by the latter immediately. A non-uniform amount of dyeing liquid once accepted by the web of material through capillary action between the fibers or even by an initial partial drawing up onto the fibers can no longer be equalized subsequently, contrary to the case of a coating of a type which can later be equalized mechanically and which is to remain standing as a layer but is not to penetrate into the web of material.
It is an object of the present invention to develop an improved apparatus of the kind described above in such a manner that an application as uniform as possible per unit area of the treatment medium contained in the foam is accomplished.
According to the present invention, this problem is solved by applying the foam to the circumference of a revolving cylinder, but wiping it off to a defined layer height; and then allowing the web of material to run freely onto the cylinder and looping the web around the cylinder freely through a given angle.
The essential aspect of the present invention is that the foam is applied to the cylinder circumference, i.e., on a geometrically clearly defined substrate, without coming into contact with the web of material immediately. The foam can be wiped off by the wiper blade so as to form a very uniform layer on the substrate and the first contact of the web with the foam takes place at this layer which has been freed of the randomness in the feeding of the foam. The wiping also has a mechanically homogenizing effect on the foam, inasmuch as the larger bubbles are compressed by the pressure under the wiper exerted on the foam, and the over all bubbles structure is equalized.
The web of material should freely run in and loop around the cylinder freely. This means that, in the region of the cylinder, no squeeze or guiding rolls are to engage the web of material. Nonuniformities could again occur at these rolls due to beads of liquid or different pressure. The web of material should rather absorb the layer, previously equalized on the cylinder, by itself, without any change in the uniform distribution prepared on the cylinder, by external engagement.
This has a particularly dramatic effect at the edges of the web, which are loaded very uniformly with the treatment medium using the present invention. In the case of squeeze of guide rolls, it was never possible to avoid different amounts of liquid, which can cause corresponding differences in the coloring of the edges, from being present at the squeeze or guide rolls between the inner area and the edge zone.
The applicability of the present invention is not limited to the application of particularly small amounts of the treatment medium. However, in cases where particularly small amounts are to be applied, the conditions are particularly critical since small differences, seen absolutely, of the application per area unit already lead to considerable relative differences. For small applied amounts, the advantages of the present invention come to the fore most favorably. This is true particularly if the foam is then still full of voids.
The apparatus of the present invention includes a revolving cylinder, the length of which corresponds at least to the width of the web of material, means for directing the material onto the circumference of the cylinder at an entry point and looping the material over the cylinder through a loop angle, and foam feeding means for transferring foam, in a transfer zone, over the length of the cylinder directly against the circumference of the cylinder. In accordance with the present invention, a wiper is disposed parallel to the cylinder axis following the transfer zone and spaced from the circumference of the cylinder to form a foam layer of predetermined thickness on the cylinder, the wiper being followed in the direction of rotation by the entry point, and the means for directing including, as the last guide of the web of material before reaching said entry point, a guide roll the circumference of which is spaced from the circumference of the cylinder a distance which exceeds the total thickness of the foam layer and the web of material.
Preferably, the wiper is disposed at the lower opening of the foam feeding arrangement. It is essential that the chamber of the foam feeding arrangement be open toward the bottom, so that no dead corners are formed in which the foam dwells for extended periods of time and possibly collapses there, reverting to liquid. The foam is rather immediately transported on by this arrangement in the course of being fed in and is equalized at the exit from the chamber by the wiper.
By using a wiper with a convex surface when passing the wiper, the foam is, so to speak, driven into a wedge shaped gap and is compressed. This not only leads to a levelling of the foam surface but also homogenizes the foam.
Especially for small applied amounts, the adjustability of the wiper is essential. The distance of the wiper from the cylinder circumference is in the order of about one millimeter or even less. The foam is taken along by the revolving cylinder and drawn under the wiper, and then springs back to a larger layer thickness behind the wiper. Distance differences of a few tenths of a millimeter already cause considerable relative differences in the specific amounts of treatment medium applied in a width range of the web.
To maintain such a small distance with a precision of one-tenth of a millimeter or less over the width of the web of material of several meters, precise setting devices are required.
An embodiment of the wiper for controlling the bending using a concentric tube about a shaft which is controlled by a fluid pressure is also disclosed. It is noted that hydraulically or pneumatically supported wipers of a similar nature in rotary screen printing are described in German Offlegungsschrift 21 10 492.
A specific mechanical design of the foam-feeding arrangement is one including a plate directed toward the cylinder at an angle with a sealing lip resting on the top side of the wiper. Also disclosed is the practical embodiment of a dual arrangement, by means of which a web of material can be provided with treatment medium by means of a foam application from two sides, and means for applying a pattern to the web.
The present invention is suitable for textile webs as well as for similar webs of material such as nonwoven fabrics, warps, paper and also bundles of threads, e.g., bundles of threads running parallel to each other at intervals. Thus, as used, herein, "web of material" encompasses all these possibilities.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross section through the wiper of the apparatus of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a vertical section through apparatus for dying on both sides by the application of foam.
FIG. 4 is a cross section along the setting plane of the wiper.
The apparatus of FIG. 1 designated generally as 10 comprises a cylinder 2 with a smooth, closed surface, which extends over the width of the web of material and rotates in the direction of the arrow 3. The web of material 1 runs in the direction indicated over a guide roll 4, which is spaced a distance greater than the thickness of the foam layer 5 and the web of material 1 from the circumference of the cylinder 2. The web 1 runs onto the cylinder 2 at a point 6, is looped around the cylinder 2 over a loop angle 7, which in the illustrated embodiment is about 180�, and is then conducted away via a further guide roll 8. In accordance with the present invention loop angles of 120� to 240� are preferred.
On the side which is descending when the cylinder 2 rotates, i.e., on the left according to FIG. 1, a chamber 11 into which foam 13 is fed via a foam feeding tube 12 and which extends over the length of the cylinder 2, is formed by a plate 9 which is directed toward the cylinder 2 at an angle, i.e., approaches the lower part of the cylinder 2. The elements constitute the foam feeding arrangement 14. At the lower edge of the plate 9, a lip 15 which rests against the top side of a wiper 16 which is designed as a tube is disposed. The wiper 16 extends parallel to the axis of the cylinder 2 a small distance from the circumference of the latter. The construction of the wiper 16 will be described in detail by reference to FIG. 2.
The foam 13 placed into the chamber 11 is carried along by the rotation of the cylinder 2 in the direction of the arrow 3 into the transfer zone 40 in accordance with arrow 17 and, after passing the lower opening 18 of the chamber, is conducted between the cylinder 2 and the wiper 16, and subsequently forms a levelled and homogenized foam layer 5 on the cylinder 2. It is essential that the chamber 11 of funnel-shaped cross section be open toward the bottom and have no undercuts, so that there are no dead corners in which foam could stay for extended periods and might possibly collapse. The entire quantity of foam is immediately transported onward in the course of its being fed in and is pulled through, out of the lower opening 18 of the chamber 11, and under the wiper 16.
According to FIG. 2, the wiper 16 includes an outer non-rotating tube 20 which extends along the cylinder 2. Tube 20 is supported on a stationary core 21 extending on its inside, by means of bearings at the ends. Otherwise an annular space remains between the core 21 and the tube 20. Core 21 consists of bar stock and is supported a fixed manner at its ends protruding from the tube 20 but is adjustably relative to the cylinder 2 in the radial direction according to the arrow 19 (FIG. 1).
In the setting, i.e., adjusting, plane represented by the line 22, flattened hoses 24 and 25 are arranged on the side of the gap 23 between the cylinder 2 and the wiper 16 as well as on the opposite side; they extend substantially over the length of the tube 20, are closed at their ends and can be filled with a pressure fluid in a controlled manner. The tubes 24, 25 are held in their position by strips 26 which are supported on the core 21 by pins 27.
The pressure occurring in the gap 23, causes a bending moment to be exerted on the tube 20; as a result, the tube 20 is removed somewhat from the surface of the cylinder 2 in the middle, which makes the gap 23 and the amount of foam transferred to the cylinder 2 nonuniform. To counteract this deflection, a pressure which acts against the bending of the tube 20 from the inside, is generated in the hose 24, the hose 24 being braced against the core 21, which can be deflected in turn under the action of the pressure toward the left and the bottom according to FIG. 2, without this deflection being transmitted to the tube 20. The pressure in the hose 25 is naturally set correspondingly small or is made zero altogether. It is, of course, also possible to pursue the opposite intent and to make the gap 23 intentionally nonuniform by prebending the tube 20 by a particularly high pressure in the hose 24 against the cylinder 2, or, with preponderant pressure in the hose 25, by pulling it away from the cylinder 2 particularly much in the middle.
The foam 13 is transferred from the opening 18 into the gap 23 which is geometrically exactly defined. The cylinder 2 represents a precise substrate for the foam, which must pass through the accurately defined narrowest point of the gap 23 and is wiped off in the process to a desired uniform thickness, and is furthermore at the same time homogenized by the compression when entering into the funnel shaped gap 23. The homogenized layer 5 is carried away by the cylinder 2. Only after a certain angular distance does the web 1 run onto cylinder 2 at the point 6 when the cylinder 2 rotates in the direction of the arrow 3. Only after the homogenized layer 5 is produced, does the web of material 1 therefore come into contact with the foam 13.
The tension of the web 1 need be only large enough to ensure proper guidance thereof in the range of the loop angle 7. It depends to a certain extent also on the individual case, since different materials can have different running properties. The apparatus is especially suitable for applying small amounts of treatment medium. With these quantities, the web of material is not to be impregnated in the proper sense, but instead the treatment medium is to remain in the proximity of the surface. Therefore, the normal contact pressure required to merely guide the web is generally sufficient because in such a case it is not necessary to push in the foam for thoroughly impregnating the web.
With such a machine it has been possible to dye white cotton material on one side completely uniformly with a pink shade of color without a trace of penetration on the backside. A foam with a high foam number was used, i.e., one with a high volume ratio between the foam and the liquid making it, for instance, in the range of 15 to 20. Typically foam can be applied in the amount of 5 to 18 grams per square meter of web.
FIG. 3 shows a fraction of a cross section parallel to the setting plane at the narrowest point between the cylinder 2 and the wiper 16. Two embodiments of the wiper 16 are indicated. In the first embodiment, a straight generatrix line 41 of the wiper 16 is just opposite the straight generatrix line 40 of the cylinder 2 at the narrowest point of the gap 23. In that case, a constant thickness of the foam layer 5 is obtained over the length of the gap 23, which makes uniform dyeing possible. However, the generatrix "line" 41 can also be profiled in the form of recesses or cutouts 42, whereby the foam layer 5 is no longer flat but is given a complementary profile which leads to a corresponding stripe pattern on the web of material 1. Here, too, the invention is essential because it ensures that the profiling is also uniform and in particular, that portions of the generatrix "line" left standing between the cutouts 42 always have the same distance from the cylinder 2.
If the wiper 16 comprises an outer tube 20 in the manner shown in FIG. 2, the cutouts, 42 are milled or cut from the tube 20. However, it is also entirely possible to use a blade like or leaf like wiper of conventional design, the cutouts 42 would then appear as cutouts in the wiper edge.
In FIG. 4, a practical design, designated generally as 100, is depicted in which two of the arrangements 10 shown in FIG. 1, are disposed in such a manner that they sequentially provide both sides of the web 1 with a foam application.
The two cylinders 2 of the devices 10 are disposed parallel to each other approximately at the same height with a space between them. The web of material 1 enters the housing 28 of the machine 100 from below is then conducted upward over the guide roll 4 which, according to FIG. 4, is located under the left cylinder 2, is looped around the left-hand cylinder 2 and the guide roll 8 thereabove as well as over a guide roll 30 which is disposed at about the same height, whereupon the web 1 is conducted between the cylinders 2, without making contact, over a guide roll 31 and another guide roll 4 located under the right cylinder 2, over the right cylinder 2 and the guide roll 8 located thereabove, and is pulled off there.
The respective foam feeding arrangements 14 are disposed at the outsides. The wipers 16 are set against the cylinder 2 by means of a spindle drive 29. The angle of the plate 9 can be adjusted at a guide 32. The foam feeding tubes 12 are fastened to a slide 33 which can be moved back and forth in a controlled manner by means of a motor 36 on a track extending across the web. The foam is fed in via flexible lines 37. In this manner, the foam is distributed uniformly in the chambers 11.
