Patent EP-1276091-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VERRET NORMAND
IPC: G09F1/12
Filed: 2002-07-05
Abstract: The present invention is a reversible single-piece flex holder for
retaining a flexible sign face to a sign frame. The flex holder has a latch
block and a latch blade movable toward the latch block about a hinge, for
clamping the margin of a sign face. A pair of pivot lips are provided on the
outside of the flex holder for engagement into a slot in a sign frame. These
pivot lips are symmetrical to each other relative to a clamping axis of the
flex holder, such that the flex holder is interchangeably mountable to the
margin of a flexible sign face. The flex holder also has a stopper lip
extending from the latch block and a stopper bulge on the latch blade. The
lip and the bulge interfere with each other when the latch blade is reopened
to a certain extent to prevent over-stressing the hinge.

Abstract: An operation for recording a recording signal onto a disk
(1) is interrupted, when an amount of signal data stored in a
buffer RAM (11) for temporarily storing the recording signal
is less than an interruption setting value during performing
of the recording operation. Moreover, when the amount of
signal data stored in the buffer RAM (11) increases and
indicates a resumption setting value, the signal recorded on
the disk (1) before interruption is reproduced, and the
recording operation is resumed based on the reproduced signal.
Moreover, recording properties are detected by the signal
reproduced before resumption of recording.

Abstract: A brake pad (20) comprises a first pad layer (30) made of a first friction material and a
second pad layer (28) made of a second friction material different from the first friction
material and operatively mounted to the first pad layer. The first pad layer has a higher
level of friction initially and the second pad layer has a higher level of friction after
wearing and the first pad layer is less wear resistant than the second pad layer. As the first
pad layer wears away, the second pad layer commences to wear or "break-in." Because the
wearing is uneven at the interface (32), portions of the first pad layer continue to offer an
immediate and higher level of friction as portions of the second pad layer "break-in"
gradually to offer the high level of friction. Eventually, the first pad layer wears away,
leaving the second pad layer already "broken-in" for a long-lasting life.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un élément de réseau et à un procédé associé qui facilite la transmission de trames de données entre des dispositifs élémentaires (U1-Um) d'un élément de réseau au moyen d'un système de liaison basé sur un réseau local (LAN). Les données appliquées à un point d'accès d'un convertisseur d'interface multi-accès sont formatées de manière à constituer une trame de données qui peut inclure sélectivement un préfixe étiquette Q associé à un identificateur de LAN virtuel (VID) défini dans la norme IEEE 802.1Q. Si le convertisseur est à l'origine des données devant être transmises par le convertisseur à interface multi-accès, les données sont formatées de manière à constituer une trame de données, mais la structure préfixe n'est pas incluse, et de ce fait la trame n'est pas associée à l'identificateur VID. Lorsque la trame de données est reçue au niveau du dispositif d'acheminement, la détection est effectuée de manière à déterminer si la trame de données inclut une structure préfixe. L'acheminement des données de la trame de données est effectué en fonction de ce que la structure préfixe est formée ou non d'un identificateur VID contenu dans la trame de données. En outre, un état d'activité des unités pouvant être actives et non actives peut être signalé au moyen du système proposé de liaison basé sur un LAN. Il est ainsi possible de faciliter la communication entre des dispositifs élémentaires d'un élément de réseau et de réduire la complexité.

The source device (110) provides a reference signal (119) that dictates a period of time to the remote device (120). The remote device (120) tracks a number of local clock cycles generated for the duration of the dictated period of time. The remote device then establishes a time base for translating a number of clock cycles dictated by the source device (110) to a number of clock cycles generated within the remote device (120).

Abstract: A dual zoned, three-dimensional, resilient absorbent web is disclosed
which is suitable as body-side liner for absorbent articles such as feminine
pads, diapers and the like. When used as a liner in absorbent articles, the
dual-zoned web combines the advantages of apertured films and soft,
nonwoven cover layers in one structure while still being inherently
hydrophilic. The liner comprises a web of wet-resilient, hydrophilic
basesheet having a three-dimensional topography comprising elevated
regions onto which hydrophobic matter is deposited or printed and a plurality
of spaced apart depressed regions. In a preferred embodiment, the
hydrophobic matter applied to the elevated regions of the basesheet
comprises hydrophobic fibers in a contiguous nonwoven web which has
been apertured or provided with slits or other openings, such that the
apertures or openings overlay a portion of the depressed regions. The
elevated hydrophobic regions enhance dry feel and promote fluid flow
toward the lower hydrophilic regions, which comprise the exposed
depressed regions of the basesheet. The basesheet is preferably in liquid
communication with underlying absorbent material, most preferably a
stabilized airlaid cellulosic material or compressed stabilized fluff such that
the absorbent material can wick fluid out of the basesheet by capillary
action. When soft, hydrophobic fibers are deposited on the elevated
regions, the liner also has a soft, cloth-like feel in addition to a dry feel in
use.
