Abstract: A gas duct (1) incorporates walls which absorb sound from the main passages (3). The wall consists of a flexible inner tube (9), a metal element (19, 20), an outer tube (11) and a flexible layer of material (12, 13) between the two tubes (9, 11). The novelty is that the inner tube (9) is fabricated from: a textile, metal wire; glass fibre; a woven synthetic, natural or ceramic fibre; a non-woven or a thin foil of polyurethane, polyamide or polytetrafluoroethylene or a combination of these materials. The material is joined on its outer face to weighty metal formers (19, 20). The tube (9) is made of a random combination of mineral fibres (12) and/or metal fibres (13) and/or chips and/or chips from entropy-elastic materials. The gas duct (1) direction of flow turns through at least 360[deg] between the inlet (2) and the outlet (5). Pref. the material chosen for the inner tube (9) depends upon the mechanical, chemical and calorific load on the gas within the duct.

Abstract: A progressive multi-focus lens (20) provides a large clear vision area from a far-distance use section (5a,5b) to a progressive section (7a,7b), wherein an astigmatism imbalance during vision through both eyes is eliminated, and eye movement between far and near distance use takes place smoothly. Astigmatism is distributed asymmetrically in the progressive regions (7a,7b) of the progressive multi-focus lens (20) with respect to a meridian (MM') in such manner that a larger astigmatism occurs in a nose-side progressive region (7a) than in an ear-side progressive region (7b). By so doing, distribution of astigmatism in the nose-side progressive region (7a) is eased to match that of the ear-side progressive region (7b). Moreover, by making the increasing ratio β of the astigmatism in the far-near direction milder than the increasing ratio α of the astigmatism in the left-right direction, a large clear vision area is obtained and the astigmatism imbalance during vision with both eyes is eliminated. Moreover, eye movement between far-distance use and near-distance use takes place smoothly.

Abstract: A valve mechanism (16, 24, 26, 44) for a needleless connector employs a deformable piston (44) having a piston head (24) of elliptical cross-section with a marquise-shaped bore formed along its longitudinal axis wherein the major axes of the respective generally elliptical shapes are oriented perpendicular to one another. The piston head (24) is captured within the connector housing (16, 14) and is reciprocable between a section of reduced diameter adjacent the connection port and a section (33) of enlarged diameter. Constraining the piston head (24) into the section of reduced diameter causes the elliptical bore to be squeezed shut while positioning the piston head (24) in the section (33) of enlarged diameter causes the piston head to relax and assume its natural elliptical shape, while the bore similarly regains its natural open shape to provide a fluid path therethrough. A compressible or extendible section (48) affixed to the piston head (24) serves to bias the piston into the section of reduced diameter. A tapered section (56) of the piston contacts the housing to keep the top of the piston flush with the top of the housing for ease of cleaning.

Abstract: A loudspeaker configuration for a notebook computer (10) includes one or more high frequency "upper" speakers (24) and a low frequency "lower" speaker (26). The upper speakers are mounted within a display housing (14) and emit sounds over a range including directional sounds having wavelengths less than one-third the upper speaker diameter. The "lower" speaker is mounted within a keyboard housing (16). The lower speaker is oriented downward onto the desktop or other support surface (39) and has a larger volume of air displacement than the upper speaker(s). Open space between a processor board (32) and a lower housing base surface (34) defines an internal speaker-box chamber (38) for the lower speaker. The housing base surface and a support surface for the computer defining an external speaker box (44) for the lower speaker. The internal speaker box and external speaker box define a band pass acoustic filter (40) for sound waves emitted from the second speaker. The sound waves passing through the band pass filter occur to a listener as non-directional sound. The directional high frequency sounds emitted from the upper speaker(s) are enriched with the non-directional sounds of the upper and lower speakers, resulting in improved sound quality.

merchant and purchaser profile data and merchant content
summaries on the commerce database. The purchaser browses
and searches for product and merchant information using
the commerce server, and is provided with more detailed
information stored at a separate merchant content server
system. The purchaser selects products to purchase, and a
purchase order is sent to the commerce server. The
commerce server initiates the settlement of accounts
between the merchant and purchaser, and initiates order
fulfillment for the selected product. The separation of
transaction functionality and merchant content onto
separate servers under the control of a commerce service
