Abstract: In a multi-processor parallel processing computer environment different communication modes are available for performing an information distribution operation (e.g., a broadcast) between processors. The technique comprises automatically selecting an optimal communications mode at operation run-time. The selection decision utilizes hardware parameters of the system (e.g., communication speed between processors) and run-time parameters (e.g., number of nodes to broadcast a message to). The communication mode selection decision seeks to optimize factors such as time required to execute or work space requirements of the distribution operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders, training pants, feminine hygiene garments, and the like, having extensible side panel features that improve the dynamic fit of the diaper around the legs and waist of the wearer. Such absorbent articles include a containment assembly including a liquid pervious topsheet; a liquid impervious backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and extensible side panels, each including a waist panel and a thigh panel disposed along each longitudinal edge of the containment assembly in the first waist region. The waist panel and the thigh panel are operatively associated so that the waist panel has a primary direction of extensibility in one direction and the thigh panel has a primary direction of extensibility in a different direction. This forms a multi-directional extensible side panel wherein the waist panel provides tension around the wearer's waist to maintain fit about the waist and to hold the diaper on the wearer, and the thigh panel expands and contracts to maintain a dynamic fit around the leg of the wearer. Thus, the waist and thigh panels reduce the negative effects of the dynamic forces on the absorbent article, such as sagging and gapping that can cause leakage, while increasing freedom of motion and wearer comfort.

Abstract: An actuator able to move along a track. The actuator has an elastic coupling member that surrounds the track. The coupling member has a regularly grooved internal surface. There are pairs of piezo electric transducers surround the coupling member. These transducers are polarized with each member of a pair being polarized in a direction different from the other member of the pair. There is an insulator between neighbouring pairs of transducers and absorber means at each end of the actuator. Voltage can be applied to the transducers whereby the application of voltage expands and contracts the transducers, generating waves in the coupling member causing it to move along the track.

Abstract: L'invention a pour objet un dispositif permettant de faire fonctionner une lampe luminescente à gaz (13) présentant un circuit d'alimentation fournissant une tension alternative (UL) ou un courant alternatif (IL) de période prédéterminée (TP) pour l'alimentation de la lampe luminescente à gaz (13) à une puissance électrique prédéterminée. L'invention vise à augmenter, lors d'une réduction de la puissance moyenne de la lampe par rapport au régime nominal, la puissance instantanée dans une demi-période (TP) avant l'inversion de polarité de la tension alternative (UL) ou du courant alternatif (IL). De préférence, la durée de l'augmentation de la puissance instantanée dépend de la période (TP). Le dispositif selon l'invention permettant de faire fonctionner la lampe luminescente à gaz (13) empêche, dans une large mesure, une extinction de l'arc dans la lampe (13) pendant l'inversion de polarité et garantit, de ce fait, le réallumage après inversion de polarité. Selon une application préférée du dispositif, la lampe luminescente à gaz (13) est installée dans un véhicule automobile.
