A sectioning system includes a chuck assembly configured to receive a tissue block, a cutting assembly configured to remove a tissue section from the tissue block, at least one sensor configured to sense data regarding dynamics of one or more components of at least one of the chuck assembly or the cutting assembly, and a control system. The control system is configured to receive data from the at least one sensor, determine whether the data from the at least one sensor shows normal behavior of the one or more components of at least one of the chuck assembly or the cutting assembly, and output a signal if it is determined the data from the at least one sensor does not show normal behavior of the one or more components.

The film sealing and wrapping machine with a rotary cut and seal jaw is provided. The rotary cut and seal jaw has an internal sliding mechanism which provides for smooth and quiet operation. The rotational speed of the jaw may be varied to increase through put and to provide for a title bag around products. The rotary cut and seal jaw may comprise a seal bar and pressure pad may both be spring loaded to self align the seal bar and pressure pad during the sealing and cutting process. Lastly, a gap defined by a belt disposed upstream and downstream of the seal bar and pressure pad may be mechanically linked to the pressure pad through a control carriage.

A log saw for cutting convolutely wound logs of web material is disclosed. The log saw includes a cutting blade operating in a cutting plane, a log saw clamp for the retention of a convolutely wound log of web material such that the convolutely wound log of web material extends in a log advancing path through to the cutting plane, and controls connected to the clamping device.

An apparatus for a single-track or multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region, comprising an output device which is configured to eject at least one material web into the cutting region, wherein the output device comprises at least one driven feed roll and at least one counter-unit which forms a feed gap for the material web together with the feed roll.

The invention relates to an apparatus for a single-track or multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region, having a material store; and having a removal device which is configured for a removal of a material web from the material store, wherein a loop store in which the material web forms a loop is provided for the material web.

A method for decommissioning a heavy water reactor facility includes: opening an upper part of the calandria vault; inserting a support device into an inner part of the calandria vault through the upper part of the calandria vault to support the main shell of the calandria; cutting between the main shell and the sub-shell of the calandria by inserting a cutting device into the inner part of the calandria vault through the upper part of the calandria vault; and drawing out the main shell of the calandria to the outside of the calandria vault by moving the support device from the inner part of the calandria vault to the outside through the upper part.
