In accordance with the present disclosure, the filler has a particle size of at least about 3.2 microns and is present in the wrapper in an amount less than about 20% by weight. Further, the wrapper may have a basis weight of less than about 23 gsm and a permeability of from about 15 Coresta to about 130 Coresta. It has been discovered that such wrappers are capable of reducing the ignition proclivity characteristics of a smoking article. If desired, the particular wrapper as described above can also contain discrete areas treated with an ignition reducing composition which further serves to reduce the ignition proclivity characteristics of the article.
A system and method for placing an overwrap material (22) on a bobbin (12) of material is disclosed. The bobbin (12) of material may be, for instance, a bobbin of paper, such as cigarette paper. The system automatically attaches the overwrap material (22) to a leading edge of the bobbin (12), wraps the bobbin in the overwrap material, cuts the overwrap material, and secures the overwrap material to the bobbin. The overwrap material (22) is used to protect the bobbin (12) during shipping and storage. The overwrap material (22) can also be used to assist in feeding of the bobbin (12) of material into a process.
Smoking articles having reduced ignition proclivity characteristics are disclosed. Smoking articles include a paper wrapper (14) that is treated with a film- forming composition. The film-forming composition forms treated discrete areas (18) on the wrapper. The treated discrete areas reduce ignition proclivity properties of the smoking article made with the wrapper. The film-forming composition contained a film-forming material blended with a burn promoting agent in the absence of a burn retardant. In one embodiment, for instance, the film-forming composition consists essentially of a film-forming material and a burn promoting agent. Various advantages and benefits are realized by blending a film-forming material with burn promoting agent without also incorporating a burn retardant into the composition.
A method for producing low-noise laser output (195) at various wavelengths and/or in various operation modes in a monolithic microchip laser (100) comprises schemes of generating two fundamental beams (165, 175) in separate cavities, precise intra&sgr;avity beam combination based on the walk-off effect in birefringent crystal (180) , and wavelength conversion in nonlinear optical crystals (190) . The fundamental beams (165, 175) are produced from light sources (160, 170) selected upon the desired wavelengths, polarizations, and other features related to the laser output (195) .
