Abstract: A tampon applicator (10) for insertion of a tampon into a body cavity is provided, including a paper tampon holder tube (12) having an expulsion end dimensioned for insertion into the body cavity and including a plurality of contiguous segments (14) separated by slits (15), and a plunger (20), telescopically and slidably mounted in the holder distal to the expulsion end and adapted to expel the tampon from the holder when pushed manually into the holder. As the tampon is expelled, the segments (14) bend open at a hinge (16). The segments of the applicator bend outwardly during expulsion with significantly reduced applied force, improving user comfort. The tampon holder includes a plurality of small cuts (26) extending circumferentially from the slits (15) through the paper in the vicinity of the hinge. The cuts reduce the width of the petal segments, and thereby reduce the bending moment and rigidity at the hinge. The tampon holder also includes a zone of indentation (28), preferably a plurality of score lines, disposed on the inside of the tampon holder tube adjacent the hinge.

Abstract: Use is made of a device (15) with a clamping and denting unit (16) and with an end-expansion and ironing unit (17). A starting tube (1) is first of all fixed locally by means of the clamping and denting unit (16). An ironing ring (30) is then moved along a freely projecting end section (31) of the starting tube (1) with the aid of an ironing cylinder (22) of the end-expansion and ironing unit (17), and a mandrel (26) is then driven into the end section (31) with the aid of a mandrel cylinder (21) of the end-expansion and ironing unit (17). Once the mandrel (26) has reached its end position, in which the inside diameter and the outside diameter of the end section (31) are enlarged, the ironing ring (30) is drawn over the end section (31), the outside diameter being reduced to the original outside diameter of the starting tube (1). Following this, the mandrel (26) too is withdrawn from the end section (31) and two dents are produced on the outer circumference of the end section (31) of the starting tube (1) with the aid of the clamping and denting unit (16). Together with a drawing point produced by forming the free end of the starting tube (1), these dents form a plug chamber into which are embedded a plurality of drawing plugs that interact with drawing dies during the cascade drawing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A shelf-stable, uncooked or partially cooked moist pasta is produced by treating freshly extruded or sheeted pasta with steam to set the pasta surface, immersing the steam treated pasta in an aqueous solution containing acidulants and/or humectants, partially drying to remove surface moisture, sealing the pasta in a container, and thermally pasteurizing the pasta while it is in the container using conventional thermal processes or microwave treatment. The pasta thus produced is shelf-stable under nonrefrigerated conditions and has an equivalent or better texture, color and flavor than commercially available, fresh refrigerated pastas.

Abstract: Reproduced signals from detectors 1a to 1c installed in an optical head are level-adjusted by amplifiers 2a to 2c. Output signals of the amplifiers 2a and 2b are delayed by respective delay circuits 6a and 6b. An output signal of the delay circuit 6b and an output signal of the amplifier 2c are subtracted from an output signal of the delay circuit 6a by an adder 4. A reproduced signal from which cross-talk resulting from the adjacent track has been removed is obtained from the adder 4. The delay amounts of the delay circuits 2a and 2b are set according to delay control signals 8a and 8b. The delay amounts are set when accessing to a fixed pattern recording area disposed on a predetermined position of the optical disk. A control circuit 5 measures a time difference between the output signal of the detector 1b and the output signal of the detector 1c to output a delay control signal 8a. The control circuit 5 measures a time difference between the output signal of the detector 1a and the output signal of the detector 1c to generate a delay control signal 8a.

Abstract: A method is provided for deriving information about location areas in a cellular mobile radio system that comprises a fixed part providing radio coverage in a plurality of cells logically grouped into location areas, and mobile stations for communicating with the fixed part of the system. In such systems, each mobile station passes location update messages to the fixed part of the system, at least upon changing location areas, to enable the fixed part to keep track of the mobile stations. The present method involves monitoring these location update messages to extract location-area related data, and then combining (30, 31, 32) the data extracted from many such messages to produce location-area related information such as lists of cells (35) making up each location area, the identity of gateway cells in each location area, lists (36) of adjacent location areas, and the identity of the most used location areas.

Abstract: An apparatus makes self-piercing nuts from blanks (11) each having a cylindrical pilot portion (13) which has a raw unopened and unthreaded bore (12) and an end surface serving as a punch. The pilot portion surrounded by a rim (14) extending along a periphery a nut body, and an annular groove (15) is present between the pilot (13) and the rim. The apparatus has a punching die which has a boring punch (33) and a first cylindrical insert (35) fitted on the punch serving to open the bore (12). The boring punch has at its basal portion a tapered annular wall (34), and the cylindrical insert (35) having at its end surface an annular lug (36) capable of fitting in the annular groove. The tapered wall (34) radially expands an end of the pilot portion, so that its peripheral wall is forcibly slanted in a radial direction and an annular edge (13a) of the peripheral wall is stopped by an inner periphery of the annular lug (36). Due to this feature, the apparatus can mass-produce the self-piercing nut of an accurate dimension which can smoothly punch an opening trough a metal plate, and an invariable and sufficient clinching force is ensured to the self-piercing nut.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system is provided which scans an image region to receive a plurality of spatially arranged lines of ultrasonic image information signals. These ultrasonic line information signals are used in an interpolater to interpolate one or more lines which are spatially interlineated between each pair of spatially adjoining received lines. These interpolated lines are produced using either the received RF or demodulated IF ultrasonic image information signals. The interpolated lines are produced prior to scan conversion, and preferably prior to nonlinear processing such as detection or log compression to reduce spatial aliasing artifacts. In one preferred embodiment the interpolater comprises a transversal filter of four taps which is responsive to received line information signals from a common range or depth. In a second embodiment the interpolater is adaptively responsive to motion to select samples for interpolation which would be spatially at the same range in the absence of motional effects.

Abstract: In a digital television signal processing system, a special codeword, a Packet Alignment Flag (PAF) (14), is inserted into an MPEG codeword bitstream to signify the presence of a Group of Pictures (GOP). The PAF immediately precedes a Picture Start codeword for an 'I' frame, which initiates a GOP. A data packet (12) under construction when a PAF (14) appears is terminated since a GOP is intended to begin at a packet boundary. Such termination may result in an abbreviated packet of less than a prescribed number of codewords needed to complete a data packet. The last word of each packet is designated as such to facilitate the subsequent combining of data packets (12) with respective headers (18). An incomplete data packet is filled with null (zeroed bits) words to make up a complete data packet with a prescribed number of words.
