Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à une courroie de transfert (1) pour machine à papier qui comprend une structure de base (2) et une couche de natte de fibres (3) fixée à la structure de base et faisant face à la bande de fibres. Au moins le côté de la couche de natte de fibres de la courroie contient une matrice polymère (4) imprégnant la couche de natte de fibres (3). Selon cette invention, la couche de natte de fibres de la courroie de transfert comprend au moins deux fibres ayant des propriétés de surface différentes, la surface de la courroie de transfert faisant face à la bande de fibres étant ainsi pourvue de zones hydrophiles et, respectivement, de zones hydrophobes. Les fibres contenues dans la couche de natte de fibres peuvent différer entre elles en ce qui concerne leur polarité, leur pouvoir hydrophile, leur charge électrique, leur énergie de surface, leurs propriétés de friction, leur degré de finesse ou de porosité. En outre, la surface est polie pour être lisse comme il convient, les fibres de cette surface conservant cependant certaines microrugosités.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for the production of hydrogenated nitrile rubber. The
appearance of corrosion in the plant equipment in which hydrogenated nitrile rubber
is produced is due to the unexpected presence of relatively large amounts of HCI,
generated, surprisingly, by the hydro-dehalogenation of the monochlorobenzene
solvent under the reaction conditions. The addition of a compatible weakly basic
additive, such as Epoxidized Soy Bean Oil (ESBO), to the reaction mixture has
alleviated this serious problem.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a silicon balloon catheter in which
a first tube having its outer diameter slightly smaller than that of a desired catheter is
formed by an extruding method, mold lubricant is coated at a portion of a balloon
injection opening, a thin film type second tube is formed at the coated outer surface of
the first tube by a second extruding, and then the catheter is vulcanized and cut. As a
result, when liquid is injected to an expansion tube, the second tube is separated from
the first tube, thereby performing a function as a balloon. The method for making a
balloon catheter using silicon rubber includes the steps of: forming a first tube by
extruding firstly, the tube having its outer diameter slightly smaller than that of a desired
catheter, then vulcanizing and cutting the first tube; punching two balloon injection
openings having small diameter at a portion for expanding into balloon in the first tube
after inserting a support rod into a discharge tube path; coating mold lubricant at a
portion of the balloon injection opening; connecting the first tubes coated the mold
lubricant by using a connection unit after removing the support rod, and thereafter
forming a second tube at the coated outside surface of the first tube by extruding
secondly, performing a vulcanizing process and cutting again; forming a tip at the tip
portion of the first and second tubes; and punching a urine discharge opening at the first
tube.

Abstract: DVD data is read from an optical disc. Double buffering (230A/230B) is used for outer error correction syndromes, the syndrome for one ECC frame being accumulated in one syndrome buffer (230A), while error correction calculations for preceding data block are performed using a syndrome accumulated previously in another syndrome buffer (230B). The syndrome buffers are used in alternating fashion as further blocks of data are received, while the flow of data to a main buffer (208) is uninterrupted. This reduces buffering requirements in the decoder, and relaxes time constraints on the error correction calculations. A multi-beam implementation is disclosed, providing higher throughput.

Abstract: A metal ring having a greatest circumferential
length 2 is held in the shape of a substantially true
circle, and other metal rings 2 are arrayed in the
order of increasing circumferential length toward the
metal ring of the greatest circumferential length 2.
At least three holder rods 8 are lowered into the metal
rings 2 to hold the metal rings 2 in substantially
coaxial alignment with each other. Presser rods 9 are
pressed from outside of the metal rings 2 toward the
centre of the metal rings 2, thereby deforming the
metal rings 2 into a shape including curved portions
projecting radially and having a reduced diameter. The
deformed metal rings 2 are delivered successively in
the array from terminal ends of the presser rods 9 into
the metal ring of the greatest circumferential length
2. The deformed metal rings 2 that are released off
the presser rods 9 restore their original shape within
the metal ring of the greatest circumferential length
2, and are laminated to the metal ring of the greatest
circumferential length 2.

     The terminal 10 is connected to the Internet 6 and a short range radio
(piconet) interface (13), for example a "Bluetooth" interface. The terminal 10 is
located in a position where it is not vulnerable to damage from influences such as the
weather, or accidental or malicaious damage from members of the public, but where
it is nevertheless visible, for example in a shop window display, visible through and
protected by the window (3) itself. The radio interface 13 is located in such a
position that it can make radio contact over a connection 4 with interface units (1)
fitted to suitably equipped user handsets (2) in the publicly accessible region on the
other side of the window (3). Through the internet 6 the terminal 10 may be
connected to any other internet site, and in particular to a media server 7, operating
as a client of that server. The user handset 2 can transmit control signals over the
piconet to control the information displayed on the screen 14. Information not
suitable for display on the screen 14, such as credit card details or audio data, may
be transmitted over the piconet connection 4 or a cellular connection 5 to the
handset.
