Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of applying a hot melt adhesive to an absorbent article, such that the article has low autoadhesion, yet maintains excellent attachment properties during use in a consumer's undergarments. This is achieved by selecting the rheological properties of the adhesive and the mechanical properties of the substrate being coated. The adhesive is directly applied to a backsheet layer outer surface, wherein the adhesive has a viscosity of less than about 10,000 centipoise at a temperature of about 130 to about 177 degrees Celsius. The backsheet layer has a tensile strength of at least 5 Newtons per 25 millimeter width of material.

Abstract: A capacitive pick off sensor for a mass flow measurement device is disclosed.  The mass flow measurement device includes a flow sensor tube and a drive device for vibrating the flow sensor tube. The capacitive pick off sensor includes at least one conductive plate connectable to a first voltage potential and adapted to be situated adjacent the flow sensor tube which is connected to a second voltage potential. The conductive plate is positioned relative to the flow sensor tube so as to define a gap therebetween.  The capacitance between the conductive plate and the flow sensor tube varies due to the relative motion of the conductive plate and the flow sensor tube when the flow sensor tube is vibrated. In other aspects of the present invention, the flow sensor tube is situated in a housing and the drive device is positioned outside the housing for vibrating the flow sensor tube.

Title: Combustion engine, gas turbine, and abrasive layer
Inventor: OHARA MINORU
IPC: F02C7/28
Filed: 2002-02-27
Granted: 2007-04-10
Abstract: The present invention provides a gas turbine in which a proper clearance is kept between a rotor blade and a shroud for a long period of time from the start of operation, so that damage to the rotor blade is less likely to occur. In a turbine portion of the gas turbine, the rotor blade and the shroud face each other. At the tip end of the rotor blade an abrasive layer is formed, and on the inner peripheral surface of the shroud a heat insulating layer is formed. The abrasive layer is formed of a matrix with many abrasive particles dispersed in the matrix. The abrasive particles include protruding particles protruding from the matrix, and embedded particles embedded in the matrix. In the initial sliding of the rotor blade and the shroud in the early stage of operation, the inner peripheral surface of the shroud is ground by the protruding particles. After the protruding particles have disappeared, the inner peripheral surface of the shroud is ground by the embedded particles.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein a method of enhancing the vertical resolution of an induction tool, in a manner that may advantageously also reduce undesirable borehole and "negative resistivity" effects. In one embodiment, the method comprises: a) obtaining a vertical magnetic dipole (VMD) response signal from a transmitter-receiver array of antenna elements having magnetic dipoles oriented parallel to a tool axis; b) obtaining a horizontal magnetic dipole (HMD) response signal from a transmitter-receiver array of elements having magnetic dipoles oriented perpendicular to the tool axis; and c) combining the VMD and HMD response signals to obtain a combination response signal. When the relative weights of the VMD and HMD response signals are set as described herein, the combination response signal (and any log calculated therefrom) has a narrow, substantially rectilinear, vertical measurement profile. Further, the combination response signal is relatively insensitive to borehole effects.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de balayage d'images vidéo enregistrées d'une scène donnée pour y localiser les images ayant trait à une activité déterminée. Les images (I) de la scène sont obtenues sur une période de temps. Chacune des images (SI) est comparée à une image (RI) de référence de la scène et une image (DI) de différence est créée pour chaque comparaison. On applique un test de seuil à chaque image comme mesure de l'activité apparaissant dans la scène au moment où l'image est obtenue, et les résultats du test sont stockés avec l'image dans la mémoire (18) d'un système (10) de traitement d'images. Lorsqu'il revisionne les images le spectateur établit un seuil de vision relatif au niveau d'activité apparaissant dans la scène. On balaye alors le résultat du test pour chaque image enregistrée pour vérifier si l'image satisfait au critère de visibilité. Si c'est le cas, soit l'image est présentée sur un écran (24), soit on crée un fichier (F2) à des fins d'analyse. Comme on détermine rapidement le critère de visibilité pour un grand nombre d'images stockées, il n'est pas nécessaire de visionner les images dans leur ordre séquentiel. Cela économise beaucoup de temps et permet à l'utilisateur de localiser rapidement des informations pertinentes relatives aux activités du site examiné.
