A method for milling flex foil includes providing a web of flex foil including a substrate; a first conductive layer arranged on one surface of the substrate; a second conductive layer arranged on an opposite surface of the substrate; a first insulating layer arranged adjacent to the first conductive layer; and a second insulating layer arranged adjacent to the second conductive layer. The method includes dry milling one side of the web using a first clich pattern including raised portions and non-raised portions to selectively remove at least one of the first conductive layer and the first insulating layer. The method includes dry milling an opposite side of the web using a second clich pattern including upper raised portions, lower raised portions and non-raised portions to selectively remove the second insulating layer.

Waste plastic can be converted into rock for decorative and utilitarian applications. A combination of sand and waste plastic is added into a tumbling chamber, and the tumbling chamber is rotated. The combination of sand and waste plastic is heated while rotating the tumbling chamber to form conglomerates. When a desired size of the conglomerates is achieved, the heating is stopped. Dry cement is then added to the tumbling chamber while continuing to rotate the tumbling chamber.

A method for processing strands of optic fiber in which a box containing one or more pairs of wheels either crush, cut or bend and break the strands of optic fiber before being transported to a separator. The separator can be positioned to deposit material onto a conveyor belt, into a storage container or into a separate structure known as a step-cleaner. The box can contain a pair of cutting and anvil wheels, a pair of drive wheels or a pair of wheels featuring teeth that cut, crush or bend the strands of optic fiber prior to a suction force removing them from the box and transporting them to the separator. A step cleaner contains one or more rotating wheels with tines that agitate and move the cut, broken or crushed fibers. The suction force is created by a blower operably connected to a passage that communicates with the separator.

A device for generating milling measurement data at an output includes a support structure. A measurement station is supported by the support structure for measuring an attribute of milled material collected thereon and outputting a measurement of the attribute to the output. A mill is supported by the support structure above the measurement station for, while engaged, performing a continuous milling action on a feed material, and continuously or regularly depositing milled material onto the measurement station wherein the measurement station can measure the milled material without interrupting the milling action

A novel gear well (200) for a crusher (1) may be characterized in that the recess (210) comprises a helical, non-uniform depth recess having a high point (212A) and a low point (212B). The gear well (200) may be further characterized in that rather than extending to a sharp corner transition (112) and then to an orthogonal sidewall (126), the floor (211) of the recess (210) may instead intersect or blend with the pinion clearance floor (222) adjacent the low point (212B). The helical, non-uniform depth recess (210) is preferably configured for improving the strength of a gear well (200) and/or configured for mitigating oil frothing within the gear well (200), without limitation.

This disclosure relates to a striking tool for use in a high velocity, high impact energy comminution mill. The tool comprises an elongate body attachable at a first end to the comminution mill, and further comprises a wear resistant element for improving the wear resistance of the striking tool. The wear resistant element comprises a plurality of individual units.

Systems, methods and apparatus for injecting a solid chemical for inhibiting, decreasing or preventing precipitation and/or deposition of foulants and/or contaminants in oilfield tubulars. The use of solid chemicals or highly viscous fluids providing ease of shipment, greater economy in storage, shipment and delivery and increased ease of use.
