Abstract: In many cases, the coating material of coated sheet metal has a significantly lower boiling point than the sheet metal material. Thus, an explosive vaporization of coating material can occur when sheet metal of this type is joined by welding, negatively affecting the quality of the connection. To improve the connection quality, narrow gaps are created by means of spacers, allowing the vaporized coating material to escape through said gaps. The spacers are created e.g. by the laser radiation of the sheet metal. The aim of the invention is to reduce the variations in distance between the sheet metal sheets by the appropriate shaping of the spacers. This is achieved by a method, in which the laser beam executes a movement comprising transverse and longitudinal components through and/or around the center of its processing surface. This creates a topographical modification with a spherical form, i.e. with an apex radius that is greater than the height of said topographical modification.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous composition comprising (i) a fluorochemical compound and (ii) an ester derivative of an alpha-hydroxy acid, the ester derivative having a melting point of not more than 35° C. and a water solubility of not more than 10% by weight at 25° C. The fluorochemical compound is typically dispersed or emulsified in the aqueous composition. The aqueous compositions may provide such advantages as providing good oil- and/or water repellency properties to a substrate upon application at ambient conditions, without the need for a heat treatment. Thus, the aqueous compositions may be used to provide oil- and/or water repellency properties to a substrate such as for example a fibrous substrate, e.g., leather or textile. In particular, repellency properties comparable to those achieved with a heat treatment step may be achieved.

Abstract: A communication system determines whether to establish a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication for conveyance of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (MBMS) data based on a number of user equipments being serviced by the communication system for MBMS service. The system broadcasts an access probability factor in a control message to the user equipments. For a large number of MBMS users being counted, the method will select a point-to-multipoint broadcast. If the number of user equipments being counted is relatively small, the access probability factor is modified by a ratio of the number of point-to-point connections over the point-to-multipoint connections over the number of users being counted. The UE may need to join multiple base stations' in the counting procedure to obtain the system diversity gain.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a sealer/primer that is generally a 100% solids, sprayable, free-radical cured composition. The primer utilizes free-radical cure technology by cross-linking acrylate monomers and oligomers with thermally generated free radicals from peroxide(s). The composition can be applied through traditional application equipment, seals the surface of the substrate to which it is applied, and cures to an acceptable surface for further processing, such as painting. There is no need to employ UV light or electron beam (EB) to cure the coating composition upon application to a substrate, but rather, the coating composition can be cured through the use of heat sources.

Abstract: A method of achieving frequency doubled lithographic patterning is described. An optical pattern (16) having a first period (p1) is used to expose conventional acid-catalysed photoresist (18) on substrate (20), leaving regions of high exposure (24), regions of low exposure (26) and intermediate regions (22). Processing proceeds leaving regions (24) which received high exposure very polar, i.e. hydrophilic, regions (26) of low exposure very apolar, i.e. hydrophobic, and the intermediate regions having intermediate polarity. A developer of intermediate polarity such as propylene glycol methyl ether acetate is then used to dissolve only the intermediate regions (22) leaving photoresist patterned to have a pitch (p2) half that of the optical period (p1). Alternatively, the photoresist is removed from the apolar and polar regions leaving only the intermediate regions (22) again with the same pitch (p2) half that of the optical period (p1).

Abstract: A tube in a pumped fluid system can become obstructed by a clog. The clog is automatically cleared in response to an obstruction signal by modifying the pumping cycle which is normally used to pump the fluid. In particular, the pumping cycle is stopped after a compression stroke to apply sustained high pressure in the clogged tube, using the same fluid and the same pump, to expel the clog from the tube. The obstruction signal is derived by measuring pressure during a portion of the pumping cycle when elevated pressure due to viscosity effects have subsided. Therefore, if the pressure remains elevated, a determination of an obstructed state can reliably be made which may be caused by a clog.
