Title: Disposable absorbent underpants
Inventor: DATTA PAUL JOSEPH
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2001-06-21
Abstract: This invention relates to disposable absorbent underpants for containing body fluid. The underpants include an outer cover having a front portion and a back portion joined together by a crotch portion. An inner liner is attached to the outer cover. The inner liner has at least a front portion and a back portion. The front and back portions of the outer cover and the inner liner are connected together to form a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. An absorbent pad is secured to the crotch portion. The absorbent pad includes a liquid-permeable cover, a liquid impermeable baffle and an absorbent layer positioned therebetween. A first pair of leg elastics is secured between the outer cover and the inner liner at the front portion such that each of the first pair of leg elastics is positioned adjacent to one of the pair of leg openings. A second pair of leg elastics is secured between the outer cover and the inner liner at the back portion such that each of the second pair of leg elastics is positioned adjacent to one of the pair of leg openings. A third pair of leg elastics is secured to the outer cover. Each of the third pair of leg elastics is a distinct member containing at least three strands of elastics that are at least partially enclosed by a carrier sheet. Each of the third pair of leg elastics is positioned adjacent to one of the pair of leg openings and intermediate one of the first and second pairs of leg elastics. Each of the third pair of leg elastics is separated from one of the first pair of leg elastics by a first gap and from one of the second pair of leg elastics by a second gap. The first, second and third pairs of leg elastics allow gathers to form about each of the leg openings to prevent leakage of body fluid from the underpants. The underpants also contain waist elastic attached between the outer cover and the inner liner at the front and back portions. The waist elastics allow gathers to form about the waist opening to prevent leakage of body fluid from the underpants.

Title: Transmit power control with transmitter diversity
Inventor: JACOBSEN ERIC
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 2001-08-29
Abstract: A wireless transmitter system for use in maintaining a wireless link with a remote transceiver includes a beamforming transmit antenna structure and a power control unit for controlling transmit power levels. The system determines the direction of the remote transceiver and then generates a transmit antenna beam in that direction. The power control unit then determines the antenna gain of the generated beam and uses the antenna gain information to adjust the transmit power level of the system so that it does not exceed government mandated limits. In one embodiment, the average transmit duty cycle of the system is also used to adjust transmit power. The system is capable of achieving a maximum transmit power without exceeding applicable power limits.

Title: Auto reversing expanding roller system
Inventor: MAGUIRE PATRICK G
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 2003-09-03
Abstract: The expansion apparatus, run into a wellbore on a working string, 150, comprises a rotary expander 200 for expanding an expandable tubular 120 and a spline assembly 230 for coupling the rotary expander to a motor 30 disposed on the work string. The rotary expander and spline assembly have hollow bodies that allow them to encircle the work string and rotate relative thereto. The spline assembly comprises an inner sleeve 231 and outer sleeve 232. The inner sleeve is attached to the motor and the outer sleeve is attached to the rotary expander, coupled to each other using a spline and groove connection. The connection allows the rotary expander to be rotated by the motor, while at the same time, allow the rotary expander to move axially relative to the motor. The rotary expander comprises two rows of rollers 260u, 260L for expansion against the tubular. The position of the rollers on the first row is skewed in one direction relative to the longitudinal axis. The rollers on the second row are skewed in an opposite direction. When actuated, the skew angle of the rollers will cause the expander tool to move axially. Because the rollers of the two rows are placed at opposing skew angles, alternating actuation between the two rows of rollers causes the expander to move in opposite axial directions during expansion.

Title: DAB receiver which looks up non-interfering digital processing clock frequencies from a table for each RF reception channel
Inventor: JURASCHECK NICHOLAS
IPC: H04B15/02
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: The digital broadcast receiver comprises an RF receiver 4. The RF reception frequency is selected using a selector 12.

Title: Optical measurement method and device
Inventor: POBORTCHI VLADIMIR
IPC: G01N21/65
Filed: 2004-09-03
Abstract: An optical measurement of a crystalline sample to be measured. The sample is irradiated with an exciting light from the polarization direction in which the Raman scattering is prohibited by the selection rule. When a metal probe is brought to proximity to the sample to be measured, the selection rule is eased locally only in the proximity portion near the probe end in order that Raman scattering becomes active. Thus, a Raman signal only from the proximity portion near the probe end is detected. An optical measurement apparatus having an optical arrangement for measuring a signal light re-emitted from a sample to be measured when the sample is irradiated with an exciting light is provided. The optical measurement apparatus comprises a means for limiting the polarization state of the exciting light or signal light and a means for bringing a metal probe near the sample to be measured. The optical measurement apparatus is used to measure the signal light obtained by locally easing the limitation on the polarization state by bringing the metal probe near the sample. Therefore, Raman scattering light from silicon or the like can be measured with high space-resolution exceeding the light diffraction limit.
