This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 07/926,985, filed Aug. 7, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,363,540, issued Nov. 15, 1994.
This invention relates to plastic containers having interlocking reclosable closure profiles, and more particularly, to a process and apparatus for controlling the configuration and certain critical dimensions of the interlocking closure profiles, such that mated closure profiles tightly interlock together.
Reclosable plastic containers made from a thermoplastic sheet having opposing rib and groove fastener elements (also called male and female interlocking closure profiles) are well known and described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,736,496; 4,741,789; 4,755,248; 4,764,977; 4,812,056; 5,009,828; 5,012,561; 5,022,530 and 5,070,548. One example of such a reclosable plastic container or bag is the Ziploc� brand food storage bag.
Typically, the male and female-type interlocking closure profiles are either manufactured separately-as strips and thereafter attached to a web of polymeric sheet as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,462,332 or the closure profiles and sheet are extruded as an integral unit from a single die such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,340,116.
The industry is aware that width of the gap in the female or groove member of the closure profile is crucial to the proper functioning and accurate mating of the groove and rib or head members. Where the gap is too wide, for example, the closure profiles separate too easily providing a weak closure for plastic containers and resulting in leakage through the closure of the plastic container. Where the gap is too narrow, the closure profiles are difficult to mate together, both during manufacture of the plastic containers and later by the end user of the final product. There is, therefore, a need in the industry to properly, accurately and consistently control the gap width of the female profile.
Various methods have heretofore been used to control gap width of a female profile which, generally, include streams of gaseous or liquid coolant directed onto the surfaces of the closure profiles. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,106,566 issued to McCree discloses a process and apparatus for controlling the gap width of a female closure profile and fixing the configuration of the profile while simultaneously cooling the profile utilizing a flow of cooling fluid onto the closure profile.
While the method and apparatus disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,106,566 is satisfactory, it is desired to provide an alternative process and apparatus for controlling gap width of a closure profile which could be used without the need for a liquid coolant for the specific purpose of maintaining the gap width because using a flow of liquid, alone, can still provide inconsistent gap widths depending on the control of such things as container stock production rates and conditions, the liquid coolant pressure, temperature and direction of application and force of a liquid coolant impinging upon the surfaces of the closure profiles.
It is, therefore, desired to provide a process and apparatus for accurately controlling the critical dimensions of a closure profile, during the manufacture of plastic container stock material at varying production rates, by mechanically maintaining the gap width of the closure profile.
It is also desired to provide a process and apparatus for mechanically altering a closure profile by a slight permanent deformation, resulting in a desired closure profile configuration having a desired predetermined fixed closure force.
One aspect of the present invention is directed to precisely controlling the width of the gap in a groove member by passing the closure profile, while still hot enough to be formed, through a profile gapping means, whereby the surfaces of the closure profile contact the gapping means, thereby establishing the desired final gap width of the closure profile.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to altering the configuration of a profile using the gapping means such that a desired closure profile configuration is obtained that will result in a desired predetermined closure force.
Either embodiment of the present invention is advantageously practiced at any point following the extrusion of the closure profile in a manufacturing process for producing reclosable plastic containers. For example, a closure profile configuration may be altered for closure profile strips prior to attachment to a polymeric sheet; or a closure profile configuration may be altered for closure profiles which are already an integral part of a plastic container stock material.
One embodiment of the present invention includes an apparatus for maintaining the gap between the arm portions of a female profile member at a certain width for a reclosable plastic container comprising a rigid separator element means adapted to be placed between the two arm portions of the female profile to maintain the arm portions separated and apart whereby the gap of the female profile is maintained at a consistent width while forming the female profile.
Precise control and accurate dimensions for the gap width of a female profile may be achieved through the use of a preferred embodiment of the device for maintaining the gap at a certain width between the arm portions of a female profile member comprising:
a U-shape holding bracket having two leg member portions general to a back portion when viewed in cross-section;
a stationary shaft positioned substantially perpendicular between the two leg members; and
a center circular shim member mounted at its center axis on the shaft, said shim member adapted for contacting the inner walls of the arm portions of a female profile and for providing a predetermined gap in the female profile.
The aforementioned apparatus and method of use may be employed in the manufacture of plastic container stock material, from which resealable plastic bags or resealable rigid containers may be manufactured.

A typical plastic container having interlocking closure profiles may be produced from a thermoplastic polymeric sheet having interlocking closure profiles on its surface. The sheet, having integral closure profiles thereon, may be used to manufacture bags or other containers which are closable by interlocking one closure profile with another mating profile. Such profiles are commonly designed to be reclosable once opened.
Stock material 30 useful for producing a plastic container is shown in FIGS. 1-3 which includes a typical set of closure profiles 31 and 32, which in combination with a thermoplastic polymeric sheet 33, comprise the integral plastic container stock material 30. Thermoplastic polymeric materials from which the sheet and closure profiles are generally made of polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon and other thermoplastic material which may be formed by extrusion.
Generally, one of the closure profiles 31, usually designated as the head member or male profile 31, is arrow-head shaped having an enlarged head portion 31a and a stem portion 31b which attaches the head portion 31a to the polymeric sheet 33. The mating closure profile 32, commonly designated as the groove member or female profile 32, basically comprises a "U-shaped" member having spaced-apart upstanding arm portions 32a and 32b attached to the polymeric sheet 33, generally by a somewhat thicker base portion 32c. The parts of the female profile 32 together define a gap, designated by an "X" (shown in FIG. 3), into which the aforementioned head portion 31a is received as shown in FIG. 2. The distal areas of the arm portions 32a and 32b normally hook inwardly to firmly lock the head portion 31a therebetween.
It is to be understood that the thermoplastic polymeric sheet 33 may contain more than one of each kind of closure profile 31 and 32, depending on the processes used for the subsequent manufacturing of plastic containers from the stock material 30. As initially extruded, whether as a composite or integral extrusion, the groove member closure profile 32 of the plastic container stock material 30 has a preliminary configuration, having dimensions differing from the ultimately desired dimensions of the finished closure profile. Generally, as initially extruded the gap "X" of the groove member 32 is inconsistent and non-uniform. Upon passing the profile 32 through the apparatus of the present invention, while the profile is still fusible or formable, the gap "X" of the profile can be maintained at a predetermined width until the gap is fixed upon subsequent cooling of the profile 32.
With reference to FIG. 4, there is shown one embodiment of the overall manufacturing process and apparatus 40 for producing the plastic stock material 30 and the relative position of the apparatus of the present invention 35 (schematically shown) with respect to the groove profile 32. In FIG. 4, there is shown a supply of molten thermoplastic material from a conventional screw extruder 41 feeding a slot extrusion die 42 via an extruder pipeline 43. The die 42 is used for forming the profiles 31 and 32 and film web or sheet 33. Various dies 42 may be used and are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,263,079 and 4,515,647. A pinning airjet 44 pins the stock material 30 at its edges to a chill cast roll 45. An air knife 46 directs air across the width of the film web for improved film cooling and flatness, while water jets 47 from a nozzle 48 helps cool the stock material 30.
The apparatus of the present invention 35 is preferably positioned subsequent to the water jets 47 and prior to a series of idle, nip or guide rollers 49 as shown in FIG. 4. It is to be understood, however, that the apparatus of the present invention 35 can be positioned anywhere in-line, preferably while the groove profile 32 is still formable. At any one particular location along the process, the apparatus of the present invention 35 includes means for moving the apparatus 35 into contact with the profile 32.
Processes for preparing the stock material 30 are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,462,332 and 3,340,116. One preferred embodiment for preparing the stock material 30 is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,070,584, incorporated herein by reference, which discloses a zipper that creates a clicking noise when the zipper is being opened or closed and further wherein the zipper imparts a vibration or bumpy feel which is tactile and readily perceptible to the touch when the zipper is closed.
Generally, the groove member closure profile 32, while it retains sufficient heat from the extrusion process to be formed, is passed through an apparatus of the present invention 35 to fix the final desired width "X" of the gap of the closure profile 32.
In its simplest and broadest scope, one embodiment of the apparatus or device 50 of the present invention, indicated generally by numeral 50 and shown in FIG. 5, includes a base portion member 51 having a ridge or rib portion 52 of a predetermined thickness and adapted to be in contact with a female profile 32 between the arm portions 32a and 32b of the female profile 32 for maintaining the gap therebetween. The embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is advantageously used when the female profile 32 is first extruded with a slightly narrower gap between the profile's arm portions 32a and 32b prior to contacting the apparatus 50; and then when the arm portions 32a and 32b of the profile 32 receive the rib portion 52, the gap of the profile 32 is controlled to a certain predetermined width. The apparatus 50 is attached to conventional positioning means (not shown) for moving the rib portion 52 into contact with the female profile 32 and adjusting the depth of the distal end of the rib portion 52.
Another embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention shown in FIG. 6 includes an "M-shaped" channel member 60 when viewed in cross-section. The apparatus 60 comprises a base portion member 61 with two leg portions 62 and a rib portion 63 generally spaced apart and centered between the two leg portions 62. The rib portion 63 is adapted for receiving the gap of a female profile 32. Channel member 60 is designed to accommodate passage therethrough of the groove member closure profile 32, and simultaneously therewith to provide contact between the outer portions 32f and 32g of the arm portions 32a and 32b of the groove member closure profile 32 and the inner sidewalls 64 of the leg portions 62 of the channel member 60, while the inner portions 32d and 32e of the arm portions 32a and 32b, respectively, of the groove member closure profile 32 are in contact with the rib portion 63, as depicted in FIG. 6. The sidewalls 64 alter and confine, by mechanically contacting, the arm portions 32a and 32b of the groove member closure profile 32 while the rib portion 63 alters and maintains the gap width of the closure profile 32. Each apparatus 60 is designed with rib and leg portion dimensions for a particular sized profile. While the apparatus 60 is shown fixed, the apparatus 60 may be designed with adjustable means (not shown) whereby the dimensions of the space between the inner sidewalls 64 of leg portions 62 and the rib portion 63 can be varied without replacing apparatus 60 each time a different profile configuration is used.
Either embodiments shown in FIGS. 5 or 6 can contain one or more apertures (not shown) provided from the base portion and through the rib portion, similar to those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,106,566, incorporated herein by reference, through which a cooling fluid, such as air or water, may pass for spraying the profile 32 as the profile 32 passes through the apparatus 50 or 60. In this instance, the cooling fluid is used for further cooling the profile while the rib portion controls the gap of the profile.
FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention comprising a "U-shaped" channel member 70 (when viewed in cross-section) having a base portion 71 and leg portions 72 including a shaft member 73 mounted between the leg portions 72 and a shim member 74 mounted to the shaft 73. The shim member 74 generally is a circular disk or washer-type member of a predetermined thickness which can be rotatably mounted on the shaft 73 or permanently fixed to shaft 73. Alternatively, the shaft 73 may be rotatably attached to the leg portions 72 or in a fixed or stationary position to the leg portions 72. Preferably the shim 74 is rotatably attached and slideably mounted on shaft 73 to move the shim 74 along the axis of the shaft 73. When in contact with the female profile 32, in one instance, only the shim 74 can be in contact with the profile 32, shown in FIG. 7, or if desired, in one embodiment not shown, the leg portions 72 can extend a predetermined length beyond the length of the shim 74 such that the inner sidewalls 75 of the leg portions 72 contact the outer portions 32f and 32g of the arms portions 32a and 32b of the profile 32 similar to that shown in FIG. 6. Preferably, the shim 74, alone, is in contact with the profile 32 as shown in FIG. 7. Alternatively, if desired, the entire apparatus 70 can be slideably mounted on a shaft (not shown) through base portion 71 for adjusting the position of the shim member 74 via the whole apparatus 70.
Regarding FIG. 8, there is shown still another embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention 80 including a "U-shaped" channel member comprising a base portion 81 and two leg portions 82 and a shaft member 83 attached to and between the leg portions 82 with a "spool-type" shim member, generally indicated by numeral 84, mounted on the shaft 83. The shim member 84, in this instance, comprises circular washer-type shim portion 85 connected by a tubular portion 86 to a circular washer-type depth indicating means portion 87 together forming the "spool-type" member 84. In operation, the depth indicator 87 contacts the sheet 33 first as the apparatus 80 is moved vertically in a downward direction between the arm portions of the profile 32. Thus, by viewing the slightest of scratching or abrasion on the surface of the sheet 33 as the profile is passed through the apparatus 80, one can determine the distance to retract the device 80 a predetermined distance to avoid damage to the base of the profile 32. While, in this instance, the shim 84 is integral with a depth indicator 87, as shown in FIG. 8, the shim portion 85 and depth indicator 87 can be separate elements (not shown) without being connected by a tubular portion 86, preferably, rotatably mounted independently on shaft member 83.
In a preferred embodiment, shown in FIGS. 9-11, the apparatus of the present invention, generally indicated by numeral 90, includes a "U-shaped" bracket member comprising a base portion 91 and leg portions a shaft member 93 attached to the leg portions 92; and a rotatably mounted cylindrical shim base support member 94 with an integral shim portion 95 circumferentially attached to the center of the cylindrical shim base support member 94. The support member 94 preferably rotates on the shaft 93 on bearing 96.
The apparatus 90 is attached by any means to a positioning means generally indicated by numeral 100. The attachment of apparatus 90 to the positioning means 100, in this instance, is made by pin members 97 (one shown) attached to the base portion 91 and slideably mounted in grooves 101 of the body 102 of the positioning means 100. The pins 97 are preferably secured to the body 102 by plate members 103 (one shown) and screws 104. A load cell 105 is also removably attached to the base portion 91 of the bracket member, in this instance, using a threaded rod 106 and bore 107. The load cell 105 is advantageously used to determine the amount of force exerted on a female profile as the shim is being inserted between the arm portions of the female profile. The indicated force can be used as a depth indicator (to prevent damage to the profile) and to indicate whether or not the shim is actually aligned in between the arm portions of the female profile.
The load cell 105 is also attached to a housing 108 for the load cell 105 using a threaded rod 109 and bore 110. Pins 111 (one shown) attached to the housing 108 are slideably mounted in grooves 112 (one shown) in the body 102 and the housing 108 is secured to the body 102 by plate members 103 and screws 104. The grooves 112 are used for guiding the housing for the load cell and the grooves 101 are used for guiding apparatus 90 as pressure is exerted against the profile by the shim portion 95. The plate members 103 secure together the apparatus 90 and the housing 108 for the load cell 105.
Attached to the body 102 of the positioning means 100 are first and second micrometers 113 and 114 for adjusting and indicating the depth and lateral direction, respectively, of the shim 95. A load cell overload protection spring 115 can be installed in the housing 108 for protecting the load cell 105 from excessive force applied to it. The entire system, apparatus 90 and positioning means 100 with the load cell assembly, is installed for use, for example, on an existing support frame member (not shown) adjacent the profile 32. For example, FIG. 11 shows the position of the shim portion 95 between the arm portions 32a and 32b of the female profile 32.
With reference to FIGS. 12-14, there is shown yet another embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 120, including a "U-shaped" bracket member comprising a base portion 121 and leg portion members 122, each leg portion 122 with slots 123; a shaft 124 is mounted between the leg portion 122; a shim member 125 is rotatably mounted on said shaft 124; and outer ring members 126 are slideably mounted on shaft 124 with springs 127 biased against the outer ring members 126. Other biasing means can be used instead of springs 127 such as an air supply piston. Retaining rings 128 are also mounted on the shaft 124; and, optionally, load cells 129 can be mounted on shaft 124. The load cells 129, in this embodiment, can be used to measure the force exerted on the arm portion of a female profile and also determine the width of confinement of the profile. An adjusting means 130 is also provided on shaft 124, in this instance screw members 130, for moving or controlling the movement of the outer rings 126 inwardly and outwardly.
The shim 125 and the other components on the shaft 124 are preferably rotatable to provide less friction and uniform wear of the components and, more importantly, to prevent roughening of the surface of the profile and maintain the smoothness of the operation and profile surface. Generally the materials of construction of the apparatus 120 are not critical, but the shim and ring members are preferably made of tungsten carbide or polytetrafluoroethylene. FIG. 14 shows the position of the arm portions 32a and 32b of the female profile 32 between the outer rings 126 and shim member 125.
In carrying out the process of the present invention, the shim portion of the apparatus of the present invention is brought into contact with the groove member closure profile 32, while the profile still contains enough residual heat from the extrusion process to be formed. The rib or shim portion is positioned between the arm portions 32a and 32b of the closure profile 32 while the closure profile is cooled thereby fixing the width of the gap between the arm portions of the profile. Generally, the thickness of the shim portion is from about 5 mils to about 25 mils.
Referring now to FIGS. 15A, 15B and 15C, it is also contemplated in this invention to use the aforementioned apparatuses for altering or modifying the closure force of the profile 32 without the need for producing separate profiles, using separate equipment or changing out dies for producing separate profiles. By providing a knife-edge on the shim portion of the present invention, the shim can be used to notch or cut (32h) the base 32c of a profile to a desired depth and width as shown in the series of FIGS. 15A to 15C. This method provides an inexpensive or less complex way of modifying or lowering the closing force of a profile being extruded from an existing die. Thus, a profile plate with special dimension is not required for producing a profile with varying closure forces. In the past, in order to lower the closing force of a female profile, the arm portions of the profile were extruded thinner which resulted in flimsy arms which lost their integrity. Alternatively, the base of the female profile was made thinner, but again, this alternative method resulted in a profile without integrity. Another undesirable option was to make the gap wider, but this resulted in closure leakage. The present process of notching an existing female profile in a controlled procedure eliminates the problem of the prior art methods.
The notching procedure shown in FIGS. 15A-15C can be carried out without necessarily providing or maintaining a desired gap, for example, by using a thinner shim than the gap of the profile. However, gapping and cutting is preferably simultaneously carried out. For simultaneous gapping and cutting, the shim can be of a uniform thickness except for a sharp edge as shown in FIGS. 15A-15C, or, the shim can have a varying thickness as shown in FIGS. 16-19. Also, the cutting process can be continuous or intermittently providing a continuous notch or an intermittent notch along the base of a female profile. An intermittent notch 32h is preferred, because a continuous cut, no matter how shallow, will provide the weakest profiler while an intermittent cut provides better control of the strength of the profile both from a structural and closure force standpoint.
For intermittent cutting, the simplest procedure is to move a uniform thickness cutting shim member up and down vertically against the base of the profile at desired intervals. In another embodiment, a shim member 160 of varying thickness as shown in FIGS. 16-19, can be used and positioned against a profile at a predetermined depth without the need for raising and lowering the shim member 160 into the base of the profile once the shim is in position.
As shown in FIGS. 16-19, the shim 160 comprises a thick base portion 161 with a plurality of thinner spaced apart rib portions 162. The rib portion preferably contains a knife-edge 163 for ease of cutting. When adjusting the depth of the notch 32h in the profile indicated by the distance "Y" the travel of the base portion 161 of the shim can not be retracted beyond the point "Z", or in other words, for simultaneous gapping and intermittent notching, the base portion 161 of the shim 160 must always contact the distal position inner walls 32d and 32e of arm portions 32a and 32b, respectively, of the profile 32 as shown in FIG. 19. Otherwise, an undesirable or intermittent gap will result.
As shown in FIGS. 20-22, with the apparatus of the present invention, the notch 32h may be placed in various locations on the base 32c of the profile 32, for example, the notch 32h can be located at the center of the base 32c of the profile 32 or off-center in the base of either the right arm portion 32b (FIG. 21) or left arm portion 32a (FIG. 22) of the profile 32. Depending on where the notch 32g is placed in the profile, will determine the function of the profile, with respect to use with a plastic container closure. When the notch is positioned off-center the notch will weaken one or the other arm portions of the profile, for example, if the inner arm portion facing the inside of the plastic container is notched, then one can control the burst strength of the container. If the outer arm portion facing the external atmosphere of the container, is notched, then one can control opening force of the container. If the notch is in the center of the profile, this can be used to control closure force of the closure for the container.
Generally, the operation of initially forming a closure profile, and thereafter passing it through the apparatus of the present invention, is a continuous process.
In a preferred embodiment, the notching process is used in conjunction with the zipper profiles prepared by the process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,070,584, incorporated herein by reference, in order to obtain an optimum closure force while simultaneously obtaining an optimum audible clicking sound and/or vibratory or bumpy feel perceptible to the touch upon interlockment of the zipper profiles. By using the notching process to deform the female profile according to the present invention and deforming the male profile according to U.S. Pat. No. 5,070,584, a zipper profile with an optimum and controlled closure force can be obtained.
While certain representative embodiments and details have been shown for purposes of illustrating the present invention, it will be apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art that various changes in applications can be made therein, and that the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described without departing from its spirit and scope.

My kids always expect special pancakes. Our usual pancakes are Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I usually fill one of those squeeze ketchup bottles with batter and use that to make the outline.

Quebec Missions
Quebec is the first territory in the Assassin Mission chains, and is actually a part of Canada, but the Templars are using it as a base of operations to spread their activities through the colonies easier. Most of Quebec's missions can be accomplished by Stephane Chapheeau after the story mission to recruit him.
EditFort St-Jean
Major Guy Carlton is set to relieve the siege of Fort St-Jean. Your selected Assassin recruit must ride to the north and make sure that the Major never arrives at his destination. Successful completion of this mission awards 40 experience points to all recruits involved, £250 and 1 hare meat for Connor.
EditBattle of Quebec
Richard Montgomery is foolishly leading a Colonial force on an assault of Quebec. He cannot be dissuaded. You must send one of your assassin recruits to divert his forces away from the suicidal attack, and stop it by any means necessary- even if it must cost Montgomery his life. Successful completion of this mission earns each recruit 40 experience points, £250 and one hare pelt for Connor.
EditAction at Trois-Rivieres
Brigadier General William Thompson has set out to 'liberate' Quebec from British rule. The territories have never asked to be freed and are not part of the Colonies. Send an Assassin recruit to follow the campaign and guarantee the people of Trois-Rivieres have their opinions on the matter heard. The assassin sent on this mission will earn 40 experience points, £300 and 2 hare pelts for Connor.
EditThe Quebec Act
British Parliament has passed the Quebec Act, granting vast parts of the Ohio territory to the newly founded providence. The people in the Ohio territory are outraged, and understandably so. You must send a recruit in to ensure that people of Quebec are not drawn into a war that they never asked for because of the British. Completing this objective earns each recruit used 40 experience points, £300 and 2 Maple Lumber.
EditFrench Canadian Ties
The Templars have contacts in both Montreal and Quebec. Travel to our northern neighbors and investigate the scope of their power. Each recruit that completes this mission earns 40 experience points, £400 and 1 beaver pelt.
EditTemplar Information Highway
Our investigations have shown that the port of Montreal has been seized by Templar agents like the rest. Go to Montreal and bring down the designers of this ubiquitous game the Templars are playing. Each recruit to complete this mission earns 40 experience points, £400 and 2 beaver pelts. Completing this mission officially turns Quebec into a liberated zone.
- Time- 5:00 minute
- Difficulty- Two Stars
Indigenous peoples are being coerced off their land. Help them negotiate to maintain the right to live where they chose. Completion of this mission rewards each Assassin recruit with 50 experience points, £300 and 1 fox pelt.

Creaform 3D Scanners: Reverse Engineering the Death Star
Reverse Engineering the Death Star No, I'm not on my way to becoming the next Emperor Palpatine, so no worries there. Last Christmas season, my family found a Death Star Planetarium while shopping. We had the idea of using it as a tree topper for our Christmas tree. Our only problem was how to get it to stay. It came with a stand, but it didn't immobilize the Death Star. I could get calipers and other measuring tools out, but that doesn't result in the best accuracy. The answer came in using the Creaform 3D scanners. I have only been using scanners and their software VXelements for a

Creaform 3D Scanning: PLM Process
3D Scanning in the PLM Process Information in this article was originally published by Creaform in the eBook, An Introduction to 3D Scanning. 3D scanning has emerged as a critical tool in every step of the product lifecycle management (PLM) process. This is especially true of the new generation of truly portable, self-positioning scanners. The ability of 3D scanning to bridge the gap between physical objects in the real world and the digital de-sign environment has become extremely valuable in a wide range of industries that use PLM — aerospace, automotive, consumer products, manufacturing, and heavy industries among the principal ones. These industries benefit from faster time
3D Scanning: How it Works
How 3D Scanning Works Information in this article was originally published in the Creaform eBook, An Introduction to 3D Scanning. 3D scanners are tri-dimensional measurement devices used to capture real-world objects or environments so that they can be remodeled or analyzed in the digital world. The latest generation of 3D scanners do not require contact with the physical object being captured. 3D scanners can be used to get complete or partial 3D measurements of any physical object. Most these devices generate points or measures of extremely high density when compared to traditional "point-by-point" measurement devices. There are two major categories of scanners based on the way

Ready for Week 1?
After a wild rookie season that ended in a terrible injury, Robert Griffin III is expected to start for the Redskins in Week 1 of the 2013 NFL season on Monday, Spet. 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
After a wild rookie season that ended in a terrible injury, Robert Griffin III is expected to start for the Redskins in Week 1 of the 2013 NFL season on Monday, Spet. 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The legend of Robert Griffin III truly began in 2011 while he was a senior at Baylor University. Baylor's football program was always something of an also-ran in the Big 12, but not when Griffin was in charge. As a senior he threw for more than 4,200 yards, 37 touchdowns and also ran for nearly 700 yards and another 10 touchdowns on his way to winning the Heisman Trophy in New York City.
After engineering a mega-trade with the St. Louis Rams to move up to the No. 2 spot in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Redskins select the quarterback of the future in Robert Griffin III.
Before the first game was even played against the Saints in the New Orleans Superdome, Washington fans salute their new hero.
The Redskins and the NFL were put on notice after the Redskins beat the Saints in New Orleans in the NFL opener. Griffin put on a clinic that day, throwing his first NFL pass for a touchdown, and amassing 320 passing yards and two touchdowns.
After a 2-2 start, the Skins faced the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. RG3 was unable to finish the game though after suffering a concussion on a hard hit along the sideline. The Skins would go on to lose the game, though Griffin would play the following week.
One week after suffering a concussion, RG3 pulls off perhaps his most dynamic play of the season with a 75-yard touchdown run against the Minnesota Vikings. Nobody on the Vikings touched Griffin on his way to the end zone.
With the crowd in a uproar after the long TD run, RG3 jumps into the stands to celebrate. Clearly, these fans were beyond excited to support their quarterback.
In an early December game against the Ravens, with the Redskins on a three-game win streak, Griffin scrambles out of the pocket on a routine pass play. Haloti Ngata of the Ravens gives chase, and delivers a punishing blow to RG3's right knee in the process.
Griffin goes down late in the game against the Ravens, but is able to come back on the field. After a few snaps, RG3 clearly can't play, and backup Kirk Cousins comes on for the Skins and organizes a winning drive in overtime to keep the team's win streak intact.
In what will become a recurring theme, Dr. James Andrews appears on the field to examine Griffin and help him off the field.
After suffering the knee sprain against the Ravens, RG3 is forced to sit out when the Redskins visit the Cleveland Browns. Behind a strong performance from Kirk Cousins, the Skins beat Cleveland 38-21 to advance their win streak to five games.
The final regular season game of the year came down to a battle for the NFC East title, and the Redskins hosted the Cowboys. Griffin played, and played well. RG3 finished with just 100 yards passing, but he added another 63 yards on the ground including a touchdown as the Skins won their first division title in over a decade with a 28-18 win.
RG3 consoles a clearly upset Tony Romo after the Redskins defeat the Cowboys to win the NFC East. In the closing minutes of the game with Dallas driving to tie, Romo threw his third interception of the game.
RG3 leads the Redskins to an early 14-0 advantage over the visiting Seattle Seahawks in the first round playoff contest. FedEx Field was rocking as the Redskins looked on their way to a playoff victory.
FedEx Field was in a frenzy after Griffin completed his second touchdown pass and the Skins seemed like a sure thing to beat the Seahawks. Fortunes would soon change.
After taking an awkward hit along the sideline in the first half, Griffin had looked gimpy on his right knee. Losing his mobility, Griffin takes a tough sack from Seattle's Bruce Irvin in the fourth quarter.
Reaching for a low shotgun snap late in the game against the Seahawks, Griffin's knee buckles and the young star falls to a heap. Redskins fans hopes of beating the Seahawks likely sink as well.
With Dr. Andrews back on the field, Griffin's knee is examined. Three days later on January 9, Dr. Andrews would perform reconstructive knee surgery to repair severe ligament damage in RG3's knee.
In his first public appearance since the playoff loss to the Seahawks, Griffin hits the red carpet with his then-fiance prior to accepting the NFL Rookie of the Year prize.
While he wasn't rehabbing, Griffin took the wedding plunge in a ceremony in Colorado with coach Mike Shanahan in attendance.
In an effort to keep expectations in check, RG3 dubs his rehab process "Operation Patience." Wearing the Operation Patience T-shirt prior to a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers would eventually cost Griffin $10,000 in the form of an NFL fine. The shirt was made by adidas, and Nike is the official apparel partner of the NFL.
Roughly eight months after his reconstructive knee surgery, Griffin is back in the huddle with his teammates. Cleared for full-speed 11-on-11 drills during Redskins training camp in Richmond, RG3 looks strong. Barring any setbacks, Griffin will start Week 1 against the Eagles.
With Dr. James Andrews in attendance, RG3 works out prior to the Redskins final preseason game in Tampa. After the game, RG3 would reveal via Twitter that Andrews gave a full medical clearance.

A doctor that doesn't care
This doctor failed to discuss how bad my father's condition was. I am a registered nurse with 18 years but it's not my responsibility to inform my parents, sibling, families and friends that my dad could be dying. Dr. Lieber failed to discuss my father's diagnosis, test/diagnostic results. prognosis, resuscitation status, and all he said is "he's ok now to be transferred", meaning to another facility where my father's main insurance is. He does not have any respect at all most of the nurses, disregarded the nurse's instructions to call the admitting facility for a verbal hand-over. If that is what their hospital call clinical excellence, I wonder what appalling care is.

On Saturday, Dec. 14, two performances of "Scenes from the Nutcracker" are planned at The Hood River Middle School Auditorium, performed by local ballet students of the Columbia Gorge Dance Academy.
This is the 5th annual benefit performance for FISH and Hospice of the Gorge. The public is invited to come see this traditional holiday ballet by bringing canned food for FISH, or a cash donation for Hospice. Performance times are 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Different casts will perform at each one.
Nancy Clement, ballet director at Columbia Gorge Dance Academy, danced in "The Nutcracker" over 100 times a year as a professional dancer with Ballet West, a ballet company in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her experience and excitement merge as she shares these traditional holiday dances with her students. "Scenes from The Nutcracker" began in Hood River with performances at local senior centers.
Community interest began to grow, and four years ago the production was moved to the stage and opened to the public as an annual fund-raiser.
Hannah Jacobson, a junior at Hood River Valley High School, will dance the lead role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Hannah Diers and Hannah Wesner will dance the role of Clara. Karl Priest, a middle school teacher in The Dalles, masterfully performs the role of Herr Drosselmeyer, the town toy maker. Dolls and Bears will be danced by Katie Alaimo, Klara Apland, Madeline Priest, and Mindy Taylor. Lydia Diers will dance the role of the Dew Drop Fairy.
The majority of the ballet is staged by Nancy Clement, based on the version by the late William C. Christensen, the first person in America to choreograph "The Nutcracker."
Margaret Dallman creates the snow scene and works with the Sugar Plum Fairies. Theresa Mason, a ballet teacher at the Academy, has choreographed the Russian dance. Rachel Krummel, drama director at Hood River Valley High School, and her students coordinate the lights and volunteer as back stage assistants.
Numerous parents have come forward to help by sewing costumes, assisting as "Helping Moms," donating money for sets and costumes, and lending their support to ensure a successful production, according to Clement.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

She's only been gone two hours. Her husband, David, was meant to be looking after their two-week-old daughter. But when Alice Fancourt walks into the nursery, her terrifying ordeal begins, for Alice insists the baby in the cot is a stranger she's never seen before. With an increasingly hostile and menacing David swearing she must either be mad or lying, how can Alice make the police believe her before it's too late?
©2006 Sophie Hannah (P)2007 ISIS Publishing Ltd
I gave up with this one - and I don't often do that. I got about half way through and decided to flick to the end, heard what was coming and couldn't be bothered to finish the rest of it which was a shame as the premise was quite interesting. I became irritated beyond words with Alice - yup, can see why she was a holistic therapist. The police procedure appeared shonky at best. My only regret is that I didn't listen to it earlier then I could have returned it.
"Load of codswallop"
A totally annoying listen. The main character Alice is completely unbelievable - almost absurd. the narration is sub standard and the male and female voices did not sound very different. I listened to the end on the off chance it would resolve anything but it didnt:-(
"Another tense thriller"
I wouldn't listen again- too many other books to listen to. And I know what happened now- The thrill is listening and trying to work out the mystery...
Simon Waterhouse in his arrogance!
Vivienne was expressed so coldly - very skilfully I thought. All the characters are well read with no confusion about who is who.
Some aspects turned my stomach- She writes so powerfully about a woman in a vulnerable position.
I have just bought the next book!
was put off initially by a ghastly Americanisation (it's an accelerator, not gas pedal) but it was a good listen, if not a tad predictable.
Not sure
More believable characters lest predictable plot
No this was the weakest part of the audiobook. She was totally miscast
The relationship between Charlie and Simon
My first encounter with a Sophie Hannah book - good listen but a little strange and lacking plot.
"Unremittingly miserable"
Having liked other of Sophie's books I was looking forward to this, but the story was so depressing and stressful it just wasn't fun to read, even trying to work out the mystery.
"Well paced until the final chapter"
I felt the narration was strong (despite other negative reviews) my problem was the weak and somewhat forced ending, too many small & unbelievable twists that rendered the main plot academic. Shame as I have enjoyed all Hannah's other books.
"Not sure I like it but need to know what happens"
Would def try another by this author but am finding the narration very irritating. The emphasis is very often on the wrong word and the tone of narration is too "school-marm" for me.
Not finished it yet - so far I don't have one
better voices - narrator is trying too hard to bring emotion to the reading and its very off putting
doubt it but then I don't go to the pictures very often
"Zzzzzzzzz.... So boring"
No, I would not. This is the most disappointing thing I have read in a long time.
I listened to the 'Monogram Murders' recently and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I would try another.
The lack of differences between the voices. The male and female voices sounds identical.
Alice! Very, very, annoying character. I just wanted to slap her all the way through.
I found this book tedious and boring. I held out and persevered, although I almost turned it off a dozen times. I had hoped it would improve, but sadly it didn't, and it just became more annoying and unbelievable. I was disillusioned by the end.
"Twists and turns a-plenty!"
The interesting twists and turns and surprises...This is a really gripping story.
David - he took me by surprise.
She does voices - I like 'voices' for different characters.
I do not want to give too much away about the story - but the bathroom scene was shocking.
A thoroughly gripping story from beginning to end.

Tinea incognito is a localized skin infection caused by fungus, just like tinea corporis (ringworm) and tinea capitis (scalp ringworm). It is a skin infectious process that looks very different from other fungal infections, both the shape and the degree of involvement. Topical corticosteroid use is the culprit for the difference.
Fungal infection, most often caused by Trichophyton rubrum, presents initially as a flat, scaly rash that gradually becomes a circular lesion with a raised border and the border is scaly as it advances. While the lesion enlarges, the center becomes brown or less pigmented. These skin findings comprise of the ringworm we typically see on the body. Lesions can be large or small.
At this stage of the disease, if a topical corticosteroid is applied to the lesion, the local inflammation from the fungal infection will be decreased, so to alter the clinical presentation of the typical infection. And this secondary appearance is called tinea incognito.
The most common site for this clinical transformation is the face and the back of the hand. The hand is a popular site for a lot of skin diseases, which is why tinea incognito is hard to diagnose and be differentiated from the others. Altered clinical picture of tinea incognito could resemble eczema, psoriasis and other diseases. What makes the clarification important is the difference in treatment approach. Corticosteroid makes tinea worse but helps the other ones.
The new appearance of tinea incognito is quite different from other fungal infections. Instead of a localized lesion, it becomes much more extensive and loses its original circular shape, which is one of the most important clinical clues to diagnose fungal infection. Sometimes, red rashes show at the edges and the center. On top of everything else, the advancing border might not be present any more. All the features that traditionally associate with fungal infections have been lost in this disease entity.
The clinical cycle is closely related to the use of topical corticosteroids. With initial use, the inflammation caused by the fungi is diminished and lesions appear to be getting better. However, fungi will thrive in the later course of treatment with corticosteroids because of suppressed immune response and result in the clinical picture of tinea incognito. Even though treatment is discontinued at times, lesions are unrecognizable as fungal infection due to the shape change. Most often, patients will try to use the topical medication again to attempt the early response and the cycle continues.
Diagnose can be made by a skin scraping microscopic test. But this should be attempted only after stopping the treatment for a few days to yield the best result quality. Fungal culture is not needed in most situations.
Treatment for tinea incognito is to discontinue the topical corticosteroids. For mild and superficial lesions, they respond well to antifungal creams. Treatment for another week after the resolution of the lesions is important. For more severe forms, oral medications like terbinafine and fluconazole, may be necessary. If open lesions are infected with bacteria, antibiotics should be added to the regimen.

10 powerful, obscure Windows keyboard shortcuts you should know
These Windows keyboard shortcuts will take you beyond the basics.
These Windows keyboard shortcuts will take you beyond the basics.
Microsoft's extended support for Windows Vista runs out on April 11, and that's probably a good thing.
Microsoft's forthcoming Creators Update offers a mixed bag of fixes for Win10's biggest knocks
More than 130 Android apps containing some malicious coding managed to infiltrate the Google Play store, possibly because the developers' tools that built them were tainted, according to security researchers.
Qualcomm has big plans to bring back ARM to Windows 10 PCs, and there is a chance that its Snapdragon 835 could support Windows Holographic for VR headsets.
Many people will know what it's like to regularly click 'close' on the nagging Windows 10 'upgrade' notification. It's been happening every day for many months. But apparently something on one of these hundreds of fade-into-the-background notifications was different. It 'upgraded' me without me wanting it to or giving it permission to.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Anybody else notice the trailer for Xmen firstclass has been changed to remove the words Cuba and Soviet Union from the speech made by John F. Kennedy used in the movie:
YouTube - John F. Kennedy Missile Crisis
see time 2:05
I wonder why the trailer was changed or who got offended by JFKs speech.Last edited by RoadBlocK; 06-04-2011 at 03:12 PM.

EDIT: Saw the movie, the speech in the movie wasnt accurate but did in fact contain the words Cuba and Soviet Union, I guess it was only altered for the sensitive TV audience viewing the trailer.

Did you have an easy time selecting wedding rings? Or did you wind up second guessing your decision at all?
Tuesday, March 27, 2012
Three Rings for the Elven Kings
So don't let the title fool you, I'm not really Lord of the Rings obsessed, but I figured it was a fitting title for this posts about, what else, but rings.
When it came to my wedding ring I knew I wanted something simple. I didn't want diamonds on it, instead I would rather have the engagement ring have the only diamonds. I'm not completely sure why this is what I wanted, but I think it's because it's how I traditional think of a wedding ring. Yes, I think diamonds on rings are pretty, but it doesn't feel like a wedding ring to me. I guess I just equate the diamonds with an engagement ring.
Coincidentally, while this is 100% what I wanted, it's actuall meets the requirements for traditional Jewish wedding ring. In order to a ring to be able to be used in a Jewish wedding, it needs to be unbroken by stones or cutouts. So while it's what I want it, it also works religiously for me as well.
The boy also had a pretty strong opinion on what he wanted, and that was a tungsten carbide ring. He wanted something that would stand up to whatever he put it through and not end up destroyed.
So on a recent Saturday, the boy and I headed to the mall to the same jewelry store where he purchased my engagement ring. Since we both knew exactly what we wanted, there wasn't really any deliberation, and we were out of the store within 20 minutes or so.
Now don't get me wrong, the ring is still exactly what I wanted, except the fact that we were in and out of the store so quickly makes me second guess it. After all shouldn't this decision and the purchase of our wedding rings take longer than that? I know it's completely ridiculous since I had my decision already made, and we'd even looked at wedding rings once before, but I guess I wanted a little more fanfare with it all?
Did you have an easy time selecting wedding rings? Or did you wind up second guessing your decision at all?

Gorgeous!!! I originally wanted a plain band because my engagement ring is a 3-stone round cut and very sparkly but I tried on SO MANY plain bands with it and they just didn't look right. I settled on a simple white gold band with pave diamonds in it. So it's not too super sparkly. I really love it and I think I will wear JUST the wedding band a lot because right now I take my engagement ring off when I do things like yoga and run and I can barely even tell I'm wearing anything when I have my wedding band on it's so light and small!
I think this is the first time I've seen a close-up picture of your engagement ring by the way. Very gorgeous!

Fine Art Photography Nudes
Fine Art Photography Nudes by Los Angeles photographer
United States
There are so many different poses and lighting techniques that Linnea will use during your fine art photography session. She starts her sessions out with getting to know her clients first and in doing so she puts them quickly at ease. The first couple of pictures that she will take the client will be fully clothed. This will get her client used to being behind the camera. She will then proceed to take photographs using some sort of fabric to creatively drape across her client's body so they are not fully nude yet. Once the client feels comfortable she will take fully nude pictures. By this time the client is chatting and laughing and having a wonderful time. When you go to an experienced photographer like Linnea Lenkus you will be pleasantly surprised of how naturally flowing the process is.film Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List 2015 online
