Title: Absorbent interlabial device having an integrally formed tab
Inventor: MCFALL RONALD RAY
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1999-04-30
Granted: 2002-07-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent devices such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners, interlabial devices, and incontinence devices. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to an improved absorbent device that is insertable into the interlabial space of a female wearer for catamenial purposes (including menses and mid-cycle discharges), incontinence protection (including urine), or both. The absorbent interlabial device has at least one body-contacting surface and a backsheet having an integral protrusion formed therein of sufficient dimensions to aid in insertion into the interlabial space. An apparatus for forming the integral protrusion in the backsheet is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a female forming member having an opening therein, and a compression member having an opening therethrough in operative aligned relationship with the opening of the female forming member. A male forming member having a male forming protrusion operatively disposed in aligned relationship with the openings of the female forming member and compression member, and moveable therethrough can be urged through the openings. A method of making an integral protrusion in a backsheet is disclosed. The backsheet is compressed between the female forming member and the compression member. The backsheet has an uncompressed region coincident the aligned openings of the female forming member and the compression member. A male forming protrusion is urged through the aligned openings, thereby contacting and straining the backsheet material coincident said first and second openings to form a strain induced plastically deformed protrusion in the backsheet.

Title: Adaptive state space signal separation, discrimination and recovery architectures and their adaptations for use in dynamic environments
Inventor: ERTEN GAMZE
IPC: G06K9/62
Filed: 1999-06-16
Granted: 2003-07-10
Abstract: This invention unifies a set of statistical signal processing, neuromorphic systems, and microelectronic implementation techniques for blind separation and recovery of mixed signals. A set of architectures, frameworks, algorithms, and devices for separating, discriminating, and recovering original signal sources by processing a set of received mixtures and functions of said signals are described. The adaptation inherent in the referenced architectures, frameworks, algorithms, and devices is based on processing of the received, measured, recorded or otherwise stored signals or functions thereof. There are multiple criteria that can be used alone or in conjunction with other criteria for achieving the separation and recovery of the original signal content from the signal mixtures. The composition adopts both discrete-time and continuous-time formulations with a view towards implementations in the digital as well as the analog domains of microelectronic circuits. This invention focuses on the development and formulation of dynamic architectures with adaptive update laws for multi-source blind signal separation/recovery. The system of the invention seeks to permit the adaptive blind separation and recovery of several unknown signals mixed together in changing interference environments with very minimal assumption on the original signals. The system of this invention has practical applications to non-multiplexed media sharing, adaptive interferer rejection, acoustic sensors, acoustic diagnostics, medical diagnostics and instrumentation, speech, voice, language recognition and processing, wired and wireless modulated communication signal receivers, and cellular communications. This invention also introduces a set of update laws and links minimization of mutual information and the information maximization of the output entropy function of a nonlinear neural network, specifically in relation to techniques for blind separation, discrimination and recovery of mixed signals. The system of the invention seeks to permit the adaptive blind separation and recovery of several unknown signals mixed together in changing interference environments with very minimal assumption on the original signals.

The stapling plungers (506) are arranged to move at an angle to the passage (502D) instead of parallel to it. With this arrangement, it is possible to use a greater number of staples than has been possible in previous related methods. Preferably also, the instrument is adapted to be divided lengthwise of the passage (502D).

Title: Method for removal of monovalent ions from ZnSO``electrolyte by electrodialysis
Inventor: BALL DONALD L
IPC: C01G9/06
Filed: 1986-07-22
Granted: 1989-03-09
Abstract: Monovalent ions, especially chloride, fluoride and thallium, are efficiently removed from ZnSO4 electrolyte by electrodialysis using alternating monovalent anion permselective membranes and cation exchange membranes or monovalent cation permselective membranes. Electrodialysis is carried out under turbulent flow conditions, at up to 60 DEG C, a differential membrane pressure of less than 150 kPa, a current density of 10 to 500 A/m<2>, and a pH of less than 5.5. Where both chloride and fluoride are removed a pH of 3.5 to 5.5 is maintained. Deposition of manganese and zinc on the electrodes is minimized by at least one of a number of means including arranging the membranes such that the end membranes are monovalent anion permselective; selecting a large electrode rinse flow; adding a small amount of soluble antimony and/or cobalt to the rinse flow; and using a cathode made of a material that promotes hydrogen evolution over zinc deposition. The electrode compartments are preferably rinsed with a 0.1 to 1.0 M Na2SO4 solution at pH 0 to 4.

Abstract: A radially adjustable anvil roll assembly is provided for use with a die cutting cylinder of a rotary die cutting press. The adjustable anvil roll assembly comprises a shaft mounted for selective and intermittent rotation on the press, and a pair of eccentrics provided on an intermediate portion of the shaft. A hollow cylindrical sleeve is mounted for free rotation on the shaft eccentrics.

Rotating the shaft 180 DEG  so that the maximum eccentricity of the eccentrics is directed away from the die cutting cylinder adjustably positions the cylindrical sleeve in a radially adjusted position furthest away from the die cutting cylinder. The shaft is selectively and incrementally rotated only when adjusting the relative position of the sleeve to the die cutting cylinder and does not rotate during cutting operations of the press.
