20090025534Device for practicing percussion instrument technique - A device for practicing percussion instrument technique includes a shaft portion and a feedback portion. The feedback portion is movable relative to the shaft portion and provides feedback to the user when an appropriate technique is used by the user of the device.01-29-2009

Robert Gropp, Hochdorf-Assenheim DE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100099199METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASCERTAINING REAGENT QUALITY - A method for determining reagent quality in a device having multiple treatment stations for the treatment of at least one of cytological and histological prepared specimens and an apparatus for performing this method are described. The method comprises providing a carrier element that comprises at least one test material; transferring and treating the carrier element having test material according to a predefined sequence in a plurality of the treatment stations together with the specimens; and evaluating the test material by means of an evaluation device after treatment in the last treatment station in sequence. The described method and apparatus achieve that reagent quality can be determined automatically and the reagents can be replaced at an optimum point in time.04-22-2010

Ron Gropp, St. Catharines CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100206505Method and apparatus for drying of fibrous webs - A machine and process for production of wet formed fibrous webs, in which the web is formed from a suspension on a fabric and subjected to a final drying process such as a Yankee dryer roll, while further subjecting the Web to an intermediate drying on a high-heat-transfer roll, with or without hood, before the final drying process. The intermediate dryer roll has a solid, gas-impermeable surface, and a localized heat source directly heats the dryer to a higher temperature than in the final drying process.08-19-2010

Ronald F. Gropp, St. Catherines CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100229419System and Process for Throughdrying Tissue Products - A system and process for producing tissue webs is disclosed. The tissue webs are formed from an aqueous suspension of fibers and dried using a through-air dryer. During formation of the web, the web is transferred from a transfer fabric to a throughdrying fabric and then conveyed around a drying cylinder of a through-air dryer. In accordance with the present invention, a pressurized roll emits a gaseous stream through a pressurized zone that pushes and transfers a wet web from a transfer fabric to the throughdrying fabric. The amount of pressure used during the transfer can vary depending upon the particular application and may be used to control the bulk of the web. By using a pressurized transfer roll, the amount the throughdrying fabric is wrapped around the drying cylinder of the through-air dryer can be maximized for increasing the efficiency of the system and the process.09-16-2010
