Abstract: An attachable breast form enhancement system comprising a pair of breast forms adjoined by a connector. The breast forms have an interior surface with a pressure sensitive adhesive layer that adjoins to the user's breasts. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer can be a permanently grown pressure sensitive adhesive that has an adhesion force to the breast forms that is greater than a cohesion force to the user's breasts. The connector adjoins the separated breast forms by attaching to the inner sides of the breast forms and pulling the user's breasts together. The connector can be either permanently or removably attached to the breast forms. Several different configurations of breast forms and connectors are available to achieve the benefits of the present breast form system. The improved breast form system allows a user to eliminate use of traditional bras by simply adhering the pair of breast forms to the user's breasts/skin, and then adjoining the breast forms with the connector. The breast form system provides for enhancement of breast size and shape, as well as provides for customization of breast cleavage and push-up enhancement. <IMAGE>

The process comprises (1) forming the polymer in the form of a melt flowing as a main stream, (2) forming a foaming agent in the form of one or more secondary liquid streams, (3) adding the secondary stream(s) to the main stream by spraying so as to divide each secondary liquid stream into several fractional streams and thus to form a polymer melt/foaming agent pre-mixture, (4) introducing the pre-mixture into a static mixer, then into an expansion chamber at reduced pressure so as to separate the polymer melt from the residual volatile compounds and from the foaming agent, and (5) withdrawing the polymer melt from the expansion chamber. The invention also relates to an apparatus for removing residual volatile compounds contained in a thermoplastic polymer. The apparatus comprises (i) a polymer melt feed line, (ii) an addition chamber into which the feed line runs and through which the polymer flows as a main stream, (iii) one or more lines for adding a foaming agent as one or more secondary liquid stream(s), which lines run into the addition chamber and have at their ends a spray device allowing each secondary liquid stream to be divided into several fractional streams, (iv) a static mixer having an inlet, connected to the addition chamber, and an outlet, and (v) an expansion chamber for separating the polymer melt from the residual volatile compounds and from the foaming agent, which chamber is connected to the outlet of the static mixer and is provided with a line for withdrawing the polymer melt and with a line for extracting the residual volatile compounds and the foaming agent.

Abstract: An apparatus warns of differential pressure during the opening of a pressure-loaded door that closes an opening in an aircraft fuselage. An air guide passage extends from the side with higher pressure to the side with lower pressure. The air guide passage is closeable by a valve that is controllable with a control lever operatively Connected to a door opening mechanism. When there is a differential pressure between the two sides, upon opening of the valve the apparatus produces an acoustic signal as a differential pressure indication that is independent of a supply system and serves as a warning signal for the operator of the aircraft door.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for loading and unloading cargo at a sea-side of a ship mooring at a quay wall, thereby enabling cargo to be loaded or unloaded simultaneously at both sides of the container ship by both cargo-handling apparatuses at the sea-side and the land-side. The apparatus comprises: a barge having a mooring side corresponding to one side of the ship; a barge anchoring unit for anchoring and releasing the barge at and from a predetermined place; at least one container crane disposed on an upper surface of the barge and being movable in a longitudinal direction of the barge; and at least one drawbridge for connecting an end of the mooring side of the barge to the quay wall. The apparatus remarkably improves the cargo-handling capability of a harbor in comparison with that by the prior art. Further, the apparatus reduces the time for which a ship stays at a quay wall, thereby improving the availability of the quay wall and reducing the physical distribution cost.
