Abstract: The fluid absorbent members according to the present invention preferably comprise three basic components: chemically stiffened, twisted, and curled bulking fibers, high surface area fibers, and a binder additive such as thermoplastic fibrous material or chemical binders. Fluid absorbent members according to the present invention use a high surface fiber and refining to provide capillary pressure (or suction) to the fluid absorbent member. These high surface area fibers are generally small and highly conformable. They provide the substrate with capillary pressure well in excess of the capillary pressure found in the bulk-providing chemically stiffened, twisted, and curled fibers (unrefined) alone. A presently preferred fiber for this high surface application is the eucalyptus family of wood pulp fibers. Eucalyptus provides desirable capillary pressure characteristics in combination with the chemically stiffened, twisted, and curled fibers and will not easily pass through a forming screen. In accordance with the present invention, these component materials are combined into a stratified, multi-functional fluid absorbent member wherein the strata are preferably co-formed. The present invention therefore provides structures wherein the properties of the strata may be tailored to suit particular applications by utilizing the different compositions of the strata to achieve specific functionality.

Abstract: A method for controlling flatness of a strip (1) of rolled material rolled to a first flatness target and coiled and that is subsequently uncoiled, and a system which employs the method. Measurements of the flatness of the strip (1) during rolling are compared to both the first flatness target and to a second flatness target, a Mill Flatness Target 2. A flatness target for each of one or more subsequent processes, a Post Rolling Flatness Target (PRFT) and a measured flatness error is used to adapt a control signal for a mill stand (5) to control and regulate the flatness of subsequent production of rolled material of the same specification. The adaption may be made using different statistical techniques including fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy logic control methods. In the preferred embodiment, flatness measurements after decoiling are also fed forward to at least one subsequent process 12 and used to adapt control signals to regulate flatness of the current strip in the subsequent process 12. The advantages include that the rolled strip is more flat after decoiling, and that flatness control over the strip in a subsequent process is more accurate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An inexpensive and accurate device for sensing rotor position and detecting rotational speed over a broad range of speeds in an electric motor includes a sense ring magnet and two analog Hall effect sensors. The sense ring is magnetized in an alternating north-south fashion with a number of poles that correspond to a number of motor field poles. The Hall effect sensors are placed so that they measure magnetic flux tangential to the sense ring. The Hall effect sensors are preferably located at a distance from the sense ring where the Hall effect sensor output waveforms are substantially triangular, with a highly linear portion centered at zero flux between the minimum and maximum waveform peaks. The linear portions of the waveforms are decoded using an A/D converter and control software to provide an accurate measure of the rotor position.

Abstract: An information card system that eliminates forgery and illegal use of a card is proposed. An information card stores information data in a memory thereof. The information data contains inherent data embedded therein according to Steganography. The information card also stores a password for permitting the information data to be read from the memory. A data processing terminal checks a submitted password against the stored password, and permits the information data to be read from the memory when the passwords identify with each other. A customized key is submitted to extract the inherent data. The inherent data is permitted to be extracted only when submitted customized key is legitimate. The information card system is possible to both hide the presence of the inherent data and prevent unauthorized extraction of the inherent data because any unauthorized person is unaware of the customized key. Thus, the information card system provides a high level of security.

Abstract: A symbol is transmitted in a communications medium according to a first spreading sequence of a set of spreading sequences, for example, CDMA channelization codes, which may be used to transmit symbols in the system. A communications signal is received from the communications medium, for example, at a mobile terminal. The received communications signal is resolved into a plurality of multipath signal components by, for example, descrambling the received signal according to a cell-specific scrambling code. The resolved plurality of signal components is correlated with the set of spreading sequences to generate a respective set of correlations for a respective one of the resolved signal components, a respective one of the sets of correlations including a respective correlation of a resolved signal component with the first spreading sequence. An interference component associated with a second spreading sequence of the set of spreading sequences, identified based on the correlations of the resolved signal components with the set of possible spreading sequences, is cancelled from the correlations of the plurality of resolved signal components with the first spreading sequence, thus generating a set of interference-cancelled correlations of the resolved signal components with the first spreading sequence. The transmitted symbol is estimated from the set of interference-cancelled correlations. Preferably, the set of spreading sequences is orthogonal. More preferably, the set of spreading sequences comprises a Hadamard code, and the correlations of the set of possible spreading sequences with the resolved signal components is generated using a fast Hadamard transform.
