Abstract: Procédé conçu pour une application rapporteuse servant à rapporter de façon souple l'état d'une entité dans un central téléphonique à une application demandeuse. Cette entité pourrait se trouver dans un ou plusieurs états. Cette entité consiste, par exemple, en un numéro d'annuaire (217-219, 223 et 224), un agent (230 et 231), un groupe (232 et 233), un point d'acheminement (214-216, 221 et 222) ou un emplacement (226-228) d'agent. L'application demandeuse établit la priorité de ces états appartenant à l'entité par envoi d'une table de priorité d'état à l'applicateur rapporteuse. Cette dernière rapporte l'état en fonction des états actifs de l'entité et de la table de priorité. L'état rapporté pourrait être, par exemple, l'état actif présentant la priorité la plus importante dans la table. Le rapport de cet état est renvoyé à l'application demandeuse. Etant donné que des applications demandeuses différentes pourraient présenter des tables de priorité différentes, l'application rapporteuse pourrait rapporter différents états pour la même entité.

Title: Personal cleansing wipe articles having superior softness
Inventor: EVANS MARCUS WAYNE
IPC: D04H1/46
Filed: 1998-11-13
Granted: 2006-02-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to personal cleansing wipe articles which have superior softness, feel and cleansing properties. The wipes of the present invention comprise a substrate and an aqueous liquid cleansing composition which is coated onto or impregnated into said substrate to the extent of from about 100 % to about 400 % by weight of the substrate. The substrate is a single-layer, nonwoven substrate which is formed from hydroentangled fibers. Upon a substantial portion of a base surface comprising the substrate there exists a three-dimensional pattern comprising a plurality of discrete, raised fibro us regions. The raised fibrous regions have a density which is substantially the same as the density of the base surface. The raised fibrou s regions are joined to the base surface by a fibrous transition region. The aqueous liquid cleansing composition comprises an effective amou nt of a cleansing surfactant.

Abstract: A method for contaminant and water removal from crude oil. The method involves recirculating at least a portion of the dewatered crude into a dehydrator. The dehydrator contains a heated dehydrated crude oil and the surface or adjacent thereto is maintained at a temperature sufficient to vaporize any water contacting the surface from crude oil to be treated in the dehydrator. It has been found important to maintain a substantially uniform temperature at or below the vaporizing surface in order to effectively treat crude oil for dewatering purposes. Significant temperature fluctuations are typically realized by dehydrators since heat enthalpy is removed in order to vaporize the water in the crude oil. Such fluctuations lead to process complications and upset and are therefore undesirable. The instant invention recognizes this limitation and substantially reduces foaming and provides for a smoothly running and efficient dehydration process.

Abstract: The present invention is characterized by a device for supplying coolant of a machine tool that supplies coolant to a mist generating device (10) at the tip of a spindle (9) through a coolant supply line (40). A coolant forcing means (11) is provided to the tip of the spindle near the mist generating device to force out the coolant inside a cylinder chamber (21) through a valve path (20). The coolant inside the supply line is repeatedly supplied into the cylinder chamber, whereas the coolant forced out from the cylinder chamber is supplied into the mist generating device at proper pressure. When the coolant pressure inside the supply line is below a fixed level, the coolant inside the supply line flows into the cylinder chamber. When the coolant pressure inside the supply line is over a fixed level, the coolant inside the cylinder chamber is forced out to the mist generating device.   According to the present invention, liquid dropping and various bad influences are prevented, and a fixed amount of coolant is intermittently supplied to the mist generating device. Moreover, a proper amount of coolant is timely supplied into the mist generating device by controlling actions of a coolant supply pump.

Abstract: An article for use in putting on and removing a shoe. The article includes a seat assembly including a seat resting above a support. The article further includes a foot rest assembly attached to the seat assembly, and a shoe support retained by the seat assembly. The foot rest assembly includes a foot rest positionable at a selected location in front of the seat assembly and angled upwardly towards the seat assembly to present an inclined surface to a person sitting on a seat of the seat assembly. The shoe support is positionable to extend horizontally and laterally outwardly of the seat assembly at a selected location. A person may therefore sit on the seat, pick up a shoe which is resting on the shoe support, and put it on his or her foot which is resting on the foot rest. Alternatively, the person can remove a shoe from a foot resting on the foot rest and place the shoe on the shoe support.  The need to bend over to reach the ground for a shoe is eliminated through use of the article and a shoe rack. The foot rest assembly and shoe support may be retractable to improve the appearance of the article when it is not in use.

Abstract: On raccourcit le temps de traitement de lecture d'un écran simple en juxtaposant partiellement les cycles de traitement des lignes, la période de remise à zéro, la période de précharge et la période de lecture ne se juxtaposant pas en même temps, ce qui permet d'effectuer l'opération de lecture de manière précise.  Dans le procédé de commande d'entraînement selon l'invention, le temps d'accumulation de charge des lignes est modifié après que les lignes sont remises à zéro simultanément ou successivement et l'opération de lecture s'effectue. Ainsi, il est possible d'obtenir une image lue avec des périodes d'accumulation de charge différant d'une valeur correspondant au nombre de lignes, c.-à-d. avec les sensibilités de détection différant d'une valeur correspondant au nombre de lignes, par le traitement de lecture d'un écran simple, ce qui rend possible l'extraction de la valeur d'une sensibilité de détection optimale sur la base des données d'image ainsi obtenues.

Abstract: A device for manual retrieval of solid pet waste. A funnel-shaped body is mounted on a shaft fitted with a handle. A plurality of ribs have first ends pivotally attached to a ring that is slidable along the shaft, and have opposite ends attached to a pair of jaws. Adjacent portions of the jaws are joined by flexible walls. A collar is slidably mounted on the shaft between the handle and the ring. For each rib, a straight, rigid strut is pivotally attached at one end to the collar and at an opposite end to an intermediate portion of the rib. A spring interposed between the collar and the ring urges the ring away from the collar. The jaws are slidable within the housing between a closed, retracted position and an open extended position. A button and catch arrangement is provided for reversibly locking and unlocking the collar and the jaws in the retracted position. A disposable bag is provided for placement over and around the jaws. With the jaws extended and spread apart over solid pet waste, a one-handed, downard thrust of the retriever closes and retracts the jaws, capturing the waste within the bag.

Abstract: An entertainment system mounted on a vehicle comprises a plurality of audio sources. The entertainment system further comprises a head unit provided in the front seat area and a rear controller provided in the rear seat area. The head unit includes a control switch for switching between front control and rear control. The front control selects a front audio source to be played in the front seat area and controls the selected front audio source. The rear control selects a rear audio source to be played in the rear seat area and controls the selected rear audio source. Thus, a front user can operate the rear audio source. The head unit further includes an enabling switch for switching between an enabled state in which operation of the rear controller is enabled and a disabled state in which operation of the rear controller is disabled. Thus, audio operation by a rear user can be restricted. The entertainment system switches between connection and disconnection of the rear speakers according to whether the front audio source is the same as the rear audio source.
