A method for perforating a web with a perforating apparatus includes: rotating a cylinder about a longitudinal cylinder axis, wherein the cylinder comprises at least one shaped blade; operatively engaging a moveable support with the cylinder; positioning an anvil disposed on the support so as to cooperate in contacting relationship with the shaped blade, wherein at least one of the blade and the anvil comprise a plurality of teeth, and wherein adjacent teeth are separated by a recessed portion; feeding a web between the cylinder and the support; and perforating the web as the anvil cooperates in contacting relationship with the shaped blade disposed on the rotating cylinder.

A polarizing film cutting knife includes a body portion extending in a first direction, and a knife portion connected to the body portion. The knife portion includes a first surface and a second surface. The first and second surfaces form a first angle. The first angle is about 21.8 to 22.2 degrees.

A composite knife made from layers of Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) is disclosed. It includes a middle layer of fibrous preform including a hard insert placed longitudinally at its periphery. The hard insert, after sharpening, represents the cutting blade portion of the composite knife. The composite knife further includes a carrier which forms the load bearing member of the cutting blade, as well as forming the integral handle of the composite knife. The carrier portion of the composite knife includes at least one top and at least one bottom layers of fibrous preform, sandwiching the middle layer that contains the cutting edge portion of the knife. A metallic material is infiltrated within the fibrous preforms and extends throughout the composite blade structure forming the MMC knife, the metallic material bonding the middle layer within the carrier, and bonding the top and bottom surface of the hard insert within the carrier.

A chopping blade for cutting against a shear bar has a main body made of hardened steel. The blade body is formed with at least one cutting-edge region, a fastening region for fastening the blade to a carrier and in each case a transition region between the cutting-edge region and the fastening region. The main body bears a hard material coating in the cutting-edge region. The hardness of the main body is uniform throughout over all regions. A chopping drum carries a multiplicity of these chopping blades on its periphery and, upon rotation of the chopping drum, the chopping blades cut material upon running up against a stationary shear bar.

The present invention relates to a device (5) for slicing one or more food products (2), especially sausage, ham and/or cheese, wherein for every food product (2) a separate track (7) is provided along which said food product is transported towards a moving blade (11) which separates food slices (12) from the front end of the food product (2).

A crack self-healing functionally gradient material for ceramic cutting tools and a preparation method thereof. The material for ceramic cutting tools has a symmetrical gradient structure, and based on the percentage by mass, components of each layer include 50%-80% of Ti(C.sub.7,N.sub.3), 25%-5% of (W.sub.7,Ti.sub.3)C and 20%-0% of TiSi.sub.2; contents of components of layers that are symmetrical relative to a central layer are the same and a thickness is symmetrically distributed; a content of Ti(C.sub.7,N.sub.3) gradually increases from the surface layer to the central layer, contents of (W.sub.7,Ti.sub.3)C and TiSi.sub.2 gradually decrease by 5% from the surface layer to the central layer, and the contents of Ni and Mo gradually increase from the surface layer to the central layer.

A high-moisture-permeability, microporous plastic film randomly having a lot of recesses having different opening diameters and depths, with clefts formed in the recesses, is produced by pressing a first pattern roll randomly having a lot of high-hardness, fine particles having sharp edges on a roll body surface to a flat-surface metal roll, to produce an anvil roll randomly having a lot of recesses on a metal roll surface; arranging a second pattern roll randomly having a lot of high-hardness, fine particles having sharp edges on a roll body surface oppositely to the anvil roll; and passing a plastic film through a gap between the second pattern roll and the anvil roll.

Cutting tool for flat materials. The cutting tools includes a band-shaped base body which has on one longitudinal side a working region with cutting teeth and on an other longitudinal side a supporting region with a supporting surface. The cutting teeth are formed with tips and include cutting sides emanating from the tips at an angle a to one another. In a longitudinal direction of the working region, the tips of adjacent cutting teeth have different distances to the supporting surface.

A battery module having a fire-extinguisher, and more particularly to a battery module having a fire-extinguisher, the battery module including a plurality of battery cells stacked in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction and a fire-extinguisher located adjacent to each of the battery cells, wherein the fire-extinguisher includes a fire-extinguishing pack containing a tire-extinguishing material, a piezoelectric element interposed between the battery cell and the fire-extinguishing pack, and at least one breaking unit interposed between the battery cell and the fire-extinguishing pack.

A method for perforating a web with a perforating apparatus includes: rotating a cylinder about a longitudinal cylinder axis, wherein the cylinder comprises at least one shaped blade; operatively engaging a moveable support with the cylinder; positioning an anvil disposed on the support so as to cooperate in contacting relationship with the shaped blade, wherein at least one of the blade and the anvil comprise a plurality of teeth, and wherein adjacent teeth are separated by a recessed portion; feeding a web between the cylinder and the support; and perforating the web as the anvil cooperates in contacting relationship with the shaped blade disposed on the rotating cylinder.
