Patent EP-0691834-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LANGDON FREDERICK MICHAEL
IPC: D04H1/40
Filed: 1994-03-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a resilient, three-dimensional, macroscopically expanded, fluid-pervious, plastic web suitable for use as a topsheet on absorbent articles, especially catamenial articles. The web includes a first layer of polymeric material and a second layer of fibrous material secured to the inner surface of the first layer of polymeric material. The fibrous material of the intermediate layer extends below the second surface of the web, preferably into the absorbent core. In-use, fluid deposited on the topsheet drains or empties more readily as the fibrous material of the second layer breaks up the fluid meniscuses which form along the second surface of the web, thereby providing improved dryness and cleanliness for the user.

Abstract: Il a été découvert que les congénères à cyclisation interne d'analogues nucléotidiques substitués par hydroxy présentent une toxicité in vivo sensiblement inférieure à leurs analogues non cyclisés, tout en retenant la même activité antivirale. Il s'agit là d'une découverte inattendue dans la mesure où la technique actuelle aurait plutôt suggéré que les analogues cycliques ne présentaient pas d'avantages appréciables en ce qui concerne la toxicité in vivo. Cette découverte permet d'administrer des doses beaucoup plus élevées des congénères cycliques que cela n'aurait autrement été possible, et/ou permet au clinicien d'éviter les interventions visant à amoindrir la toxicité. De nouveaux composés utilisés selon le procédé de l'invention sont également décrits, ainsi que de nouveaux procédés de préparation de ces composés.

Abstract: A mask (20) for the viewfinder (15) of a photographic camera (10) has a pincushion shaped aperture for reducing or eliminating the effects of pupil distortion in the viewfinder field which typically show up as a barrel shaped periphery. The mask (20) can be either a component part of, or integrally part of the camera housing (14), and can be located in the front surface of the camera body or within the cavity for the viewfinder optics. The mask (20) includes an opaque border around the pincushion shaped aperture (22), one side of which is dark and which faces the viewer's eye, for reducing spurious reflections. The mask can be positioned substantially in contact with the surface of the viewfinder (15) optics closest to the object or separated in front thereof by a nominal distance depending on design of the camera assembly. A method is also described for reducing the effects of pupil distortion in a viewfinder field of view format presented to a viewer's eye.

Abstract: An injection molding one-piece gate and cavity insert (10) to be mounted between a heated nozzle (12) and a cavity (14). The insert (10) has a cooling fluid chamber (116) extending around the central gate (22) with a thin cavity wall portion (144) extending between the cooling fluid (116) chamber and a convex portion (16) of the cavity (14). Alternating frontwardly and rearwardly projecting rib portions (140,142) extend radially into the cooling fluid chamber (116) to form a pair of tortuous passages (136,138) between them for cooling fluid flowing each way around the insert from an inlet (118) to an outlet (120). In addition to providing more cooling because of turbulent flow of the cooling fluid and their increased surface area, these rib portions (140,142) also substantially increase the strength of the insert to withstand repetitive injection pressure in the cavity.

Abstract: For the feed of a spread and drawn sliver to a calender disc assembly, to be restored into a compressed sliver for use in a textile machine, an air stream without air loss is passed through ≥ 2 jet sections (60) at the sliver guide. Alternatively two channel segments (65a, 65b) are near the disc clamping gap between the calender discs (100a, 100b), to give an automatic feed of the leading end of the sliver into the clamping gap without any mechanical feeds. Also claimed is a sliver feed jet with a channel (65a, 65b) open on two sides at the outlet end of the jet, for each to take a segment from each calender disc (100a, 100b). The half beaks (61a, 61b) formed by the two-sided opening are shaped with a length and width (b) to flank the discs (100a, 100b) to bring the sliver into contact with the disc gap (100c).

Abstract: The alignment guide (10) of this invention includes a cam (20) rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the alignment guide (10) as defined by an intramedullary rod (14). A base plate (30) is pivotally connected to the intramedullary rod (14) and includes a pair of cam followers (34) positioned on opposite sides of the intramedullary rod (14). In use, as the cam (20) is rotated relative to the rod (14), the cam followers (34) ride against the cam (20) causing the plate (30) to pivot or angulate relative to the rod (14). A plurality of indicia (23) are formed on the cam (20) to indicate to the surgeon the relative angle between the plate (30) and the rod (14). The base plate includes a quick connect mechanism (36) to permit the surgeon to quickly attach a device such as a cutting guide (50) or pinning guide to the base plate. The cutting guide (50) is fixed relative to the base plate (30) such that the cutting guide (50) will be at the same angular orientation as the plate (30) relative to the intramedullary rod (14).

Abstract: An apparatus for the wet processing of photographic sheet material comprises at least one treatment vessel (12, 12', 12'') having upper and lower openings (17, 18). One of the openings constitutes a sheet material inlet and the other of the openings constitutes a sheet material outlet. A substantially vertical sheet material path (20) through the vessel is defined by the inlet and outlet and by a path-defining rotatable roller (28) biased towards a reaction surface (30) to form a roller nip (36) there-between through which the sheet material path extends. The path-defining roller (28) is in sealing contact along its length, with a rotatable sealing member (38). The reaction surface is preferably a further path-defining roller. The sealing of one vessel from the next and of the path-defining roller to the housing of the associated vessel is thereby achieved in a simple and reliable manner.

Abstract: An image processor receives colour signals representing a colour or black-and-white image, typically containing text and non-text areas. A sliding window or swath of the image is processed which progressively moves over the virtual image. 
     A spatial filter is applied to sharpen the image and it is then classified into text and non-text regions. The data from the text regions is subjected to a black text enhancement process in which the colour signal from a single channel (here the green channel) is thresholded against two thresholds, T1, T2. The lower (darker) threshold T2 identifies pixels for being set to black, whereas the threshold T1 identifies "support" pixels used in component connectivity analysis. Having defined a connected component using both T1 and T2 pixels, the colour statistics of the pixels making up the component are analysed to determine whether the component should be rendered black. If so, the image data is enhanced by snapping the T2 pixels to black, and snapping a halo of pixels around the black text component to white.
