Title: Electronic device for converting electrical energy
Inventor: MEYNARD THIERRY
IPC: H02M3/07
Filed: 1996-03-06
Granted: 1998-03-12
Abstract: The converter has a succession of controlled commutators each having two switches, with two front and two back poles. These are cascade connected between a voltage and current source. Each commutation cell has an associated capacitor (C1,C2..Cn). The switches are controlled successively to two conducting states in a cyclically repeated period. If shifted a fraction of time period, the capacitors sustain the crossing voltages, equal to source voltage divided by cell numbers and cell ranking. Mean capacitor voltages are measured (VMO1,VMO2...VMOn) for each cell and compared (VE1,VE2...VEn) with their nominal charge. Thus complementary controls (MCC1, MCC2...MCCn) modify the converter control signals to reduce the difference between actual and nominal voltages, by changing the first conducting time of the associated cell.

Title: Metal substrate of improved surface morphology
IPC: C23F1/26
Filed: 1990-06-29
Granted: 1993-01-07
Abstract: A metal surface is now described having enhanced adhesion of subsequently applied coatings. The substrate metal of the article, such as a valve metal as represented by titanium, is provided with a highly desirable surface characteristic for subsequent coating application. This can be initiated by selection of a metal of desirable metallurgy and heat history, including prior heat treatment to provide surface grain boundaries which may be most readily etched. In subsequent etching operation, the surface is made to exhibit well defined, three dimensional grains with deep grain boundaries. Subsequently applied coatings, by penetrating into the etched intergranular valleys, are desirably locked onto the metal substrate surface and provide enhanced lifetime even in rugged commercial environments.

Title: Low voltage multipole circuit breaker
Inventor: NEEL JEAN-PHILIPPE
IPC: H01H9/46
Filed: 1986-06-11
Granted: 1988-09-01
Abstract: A moulded case low voltage circuit breaker for high currents has no arcing contacts and is equipped with arc blow-out means drawing the arc very quickly away from the contacts. An insulating shield associated with the moving contact forms an arc formation chamber of a small volume which is open in the direction of the arc chute. The moving and stationary contacts are fitted with arcing horns constituting a small divergent path in proximity to the contacts favoring rapid displacement of the arc, this divergent path leading to an area defined by a hump of the horn. In this area, the clearance of the arcing horns is smaller than the clearance between the contacts as soon as the latter separate to avoid any rearcing on these contacts.

Title: Method and circuit arrangement for the transmission of data signals between two control devices belonging to a loop system
Inventor: KERSCHNER GUENTHER
IPC: H04L12/42
Filed: 1986-09-10
Granted: 1989-09-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting data signals between two control devices connected to a loop transmission system are disclosed wherein data signals are transmitted in the form of signal blocks. In addition to the data signal, each signal block includes a receiver address having a block start identifier which precedes the data signals, and a sender address with a block end identifier following the data signals. In response to the appearance of the block start identifier and the receiver address, the signal block received by a control device is copied in the control device identified by the receiver address. The copying is undertaken for possible further processing. The signal block is then forwarded to the next control device via the loop, with the block start identifier cancelled. Before forwarding, an acknowledgement signal is attached to the sender address. The acknowledgement signal is recognized by the control device which sent the date signals. Such recognition occurs in response to the appearance of both a block end identifier and the sender address. The sending control device then accepts the returned acknowledgement signal for evaluation thereof.

Title: Dynamic page generator
Inventor: NAZEM FARZAD
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 1998-06-04
Granted: 2001-09-20
Abstract: An custom page server is provided with user preferences organized into templates stored in compact data structures and the live data used to fill the templates stored local to the page server which is handing user requests for custom pages. One process is executed on the page server for every request. The process is provided a user template for the user making the request, where the user template is either generated from user preferences or retrieved from a cache of recently used user templates. Each user process is provided access to a large region of shared memory which contains all of the live data needed to fill any user template. Typically, the pages served are news pages, giving the user a custom selection of stock quotes, news headlines, sports scores, weather, and the like. With the live data stored in a local, shared memory, any custom page can be built within the page server, eliminating the need to make requests from other servers for portions of the live data. While the shared memory might include RAM (random access memory) and disk storage, in many computer systems, it is faster to store all the live data in RAM.

Granted: 1994-03-17
Abstract: An iontophoresis device comprising a drug reservoir containing the drug in ionic form and in communication with the skin, a skin permeation enhancing agent contained in the reservoir or in a second reservoir also in communication with the skin, an electrode in contact with the drug, another electrode in contact with the skin, a D.C. power source connected to the electrodes and an electrically sensitive membrane interposed between the reservoir and the skin that is impermeable to drug in the absence of a voltage difference between the electrodes and permeable to the drug in the presence of a voltage difference. The skin permeation enhancing agent eliminates the skin as a rate-controlling element, thus making the rate of drug administration dependent upon the membrane permeability, which in turn is controlled electrically.

Title: Absorbent articles having a liquid swellable material coated breathable backsheet
Inventor: CIAMMAICHELLA FABIO
IPC: A61L15/00
Filed: 1998-07-23
Granted: 2001-10-18
Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins and panty liners comprising a topsheet, absorbent core and backsheet which are breathable by the incorporation of a breathable backsheet and have a reduced tendency to exhibit garment wet through. The backsheet comprises at least one air permeable layer such as an apertured formed film or fibrous layer which is applied and preferably coated with a non-soluble, liquid swellable material, such as polyvinyl alcohol. Upon contact with fluid discharge, the material swells and closes the apertures of the layer, thereby reducing air permeability and preventing the passage of liquid through the layer and thus through the backsheet onto the garment of the wearer of the article.
