The application relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a natural fiber based staple fibers. The application further relates to the staple fibers, staple fiber based raw wool and products comprising such. A method comprises providing a cellulose suspension (101, 310, 510) including water, refined cellulose fibrils and at least one rheology modifier, directing the cellulose suspension through a nozzle (102, 320, 520) onto a surface (300, 400, 500), drying the cellulose suspension onto the surface (103, 300, 400, 500) for forming a fiber (350, 550), and cutting the cellulose suspension on the surface for forming staple fibers (105).

The present invention comprises: a support roller part rotating while supporting the lower side of a transferred sticker sheet; a half-cutting roller part provided at the top of the support roller part so as to rotate by engaging with the support roller part, and having a half cutter for cutting a printed part of the sticker sheet passing the support roller part; and an anti-adhesion fluid supplying unit for applying an anti-adhesion fluid on the surface of the half cutter coming into contact with the printed part of the sticker sheet.

Apparatus is provided for a medical cutting device, specifically, a cast removal apparatus designed for the removal of orthopedic casts generally applied for immobilization, which apparatus comprises a temperature safety system and/or a burn reduction system. The use of any saw for cast removal creates a potential for patient discomfort and iatrogenic injury, including but not limited to burns which can leave unsightly scars and wound complications. The apparatuses presented comprise a housing for a temperature control system and motor, which motor can be controlled by the temperature control system to control a cast saw blade, with at least one temperature sensor to sense temperature information regarding at least one cutting region of the blade. The temperature information is used by the temperature control system to control the motor. The apparatuses presented comprise a burn reduction system with cast saw blade coolant or lubricant and coolant or lubricant applicators.

The present application relates to an apparatus for processing a food stuff. The apparatus has a housing (2), and a cutting tool (5) rotatably mounted in the housing (2) having a cutting edge (35) and a trailing edge (31). The cutting tool (5) is arranged to pass once per revolution through a processing region (43) in the housing in which a food stuff is receivable, and to pass through a recovery region (45). The recovery region is defined in the housing between the trailing edge passing from the processing region and the cutting edge passing into the processing region as the cutting tool rotates, and the cutting tool is free to rotate in the processing region without contacting the food stuff. Therefore, the cutting tool (5) acts on a food stuff as the cutting tool rotates through the processing region, and recovers the rotational speed lost due to acting on a food stuff in the processing region as the cutting tool (5) rotates through the recovery region. The present application also relates to a food processor and to a method of processing a food stuff.

A cutting and/or creasing rule is produced on a 3D printing machine which may be mounted on a board for use is a die for cutting and/or creasing a sheet of paperboard or other material into a blank for a carton. With the advent of additive manufacturing, i.e. 3D printing, it is now possible to eliminate traditional slotted die boards with generally rectangular steel cutting and creasing rules and replace same with surface printed boards with three-dimensional creasing and cutting rules.

Proposed is an ultrasonic bread cutter, in which high-frequency electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy by an ultrasonic unit and bread is cut by ultrasonic vibration of a cutting knife. The ultrasonic bread cutter according to an embodiment includes the ultrasonic unit configured to convert high-frequency electrical energy into the mechanical energy; and the cutting knife configured to cut bread by transmitting the mechanical vibration of the mechanical energy to the bread while passing through the bread.

The handpiece-type high-frequency vibration apparatus includes a roughly cylindrical housing 10 configuring a handpiece, a holding member 11, a tool 12, a controller 20 and an excitation device 21. In a non-contact state before the tool 12 is brought into contact with an object, the controller 20 drives the excitation device 21 so as to vibrate the tool 12 at an added frequency fp for which a predetermined frequency fs is added to a first resonance frequency fr1 of the tool 12. In a cutting state where the tool 12 is in contact with the object by a load that enables cutting of the object by the tool 12, the controller 20 controls drive of the excitation device 21 such that a third resonance frequency fr3 of the tool 12 increases and coincides with the added frequency fp, and increases a vibration frequency of the tool 12.
