IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1993-08-27
Abstract: A first method manages a display screen window of an application program that is halted and includes the following steps: in responsive to an application program being halted, (a) copying the informational content of a window of the halted application program; (b) creating a second window, referred to as a shadow window, to be in registration with the window of the halted application program such that the window of the halted application program is hidden from the view of an observer of the display screen; (c) painting the second window with the copy of the informational content of the halted application program; and (d) in response to a message to re-paint the second window, re-painting the second window with the copy of the informational content of the halted application program. A second method is responsive to an application program being halted for (a) copying the window or windows of the halted application program; (b) intercepting a window re-paint message that is directed to the halted application program; and (c) re-painting the display screen window of the halted application program with that portion of the copy that corresponds to the window of the halted application program. Both methods may also invalidate obscured portions of the application window, such as by setting the corresponding portion of the copy to some predetermined color. <IMAGE>

Abstract: IMPROVED METHOD FOR PREPARING SACCHARIDE FATTY ACID POLYESTERS BY TRANSESTERIFICATION                 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE            An improved method for the preparation of saccharide fatty acid polyesters via a two-step process is provided.  In the first step, a saccharide is partially esterified so as to contain, on average, between about 1.5 to 3.5 lower acyl ester groups.  In the second step, the partially esterified saccharide is reacted with a fatty acid-containing reagent (for example, fatty acids, fatty acid esters, salts of fatty acids, or fatty acid anhydrides) whereby the lower acyl ester groups and the hydroxyl groups on the partially esterified saccharide are replaced with fatty acid ester groups in a transesterification reaction to form a saccharide fatty acid polyesters.  The use of a partially esterified saccharide as a reactant in the transesterification reaction allows for a more homogeneous reaction system, less caramelization or other decomposition reactions, and less low molecular weight ester by-product formation.  The saccharide fatty acid polyesters, especially the sucrose fatty acid polyesters, are useful as fat substitutes or low-calorie fats in food compositions.

IPC: B65H19/22
Filed: 1995-01-26
Abstract: A center wind assist mechanism is provided for use in a web winding device for winding a substantially continuous web onto a reel bar rotating about its center axis. The winding device includes a driving drum that maintains a first nip engagement with the reel bar to rotate the reel bar and transfer the web passing over a surface of the driving drum onto the reel bar.   The winding device also includes a secondary arm for engaging the reel bar to maintain the reel bar in nip driving engagement with the driving drum. The center wind assist mechanism comprises a drive assist support arm mounted to the secondary arm to move therewith. The center wind assist mechanism also includes a driving wheel rotatably connected to one end of the drive assist support arm. The center wind assist mechanism further includes tensioning apparatus, a center assist drive and transmission. The tensioning apparatus is connected to the drive assist support arm to maintain the driving wheel in driving and torque transfer relation with a peripheral surface portion of the reel bar which peripheral surface portion is off center to the center axis of the reel bar between the center axis and the driving drum. The center assist drive rotatably drives through a transmission the driving wheel. The use of the center assist drive mechanism insures that a driving assist is provided by the driving wheel. Further, the location of the driving wheel in the off center location does not add to the nip pressure being applied by the secondary arm which could adversely effect the web being wound onto the reel bar.

IPC: G01F1/50

Abstract: Fluid flow in a conduit is measured by placing a flow block in the conduit which introduces variations in the flowpath which cause local  pressure variations.  The pressure variations are converted to electrical signals by transducers,  and the electrical signals are  processed to obtain flow rate values.  To provide a correction for transducer drift,  the transducer  signals are examined during a time when there is known to be zero flow in the conduit. The difference between the transducer signals during a time when there is zero flow is used as a measure of  transducer drift.  A value for the drift is stored in computer memory and used subsequently, when fluid flow is resumed.  This invention is specifically intended for use in railroad  airbrake  systems, where it is used in a locomotive to provide an accurate and reliable measurement of air supplied to the brake pipe of the air brake system.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a dual-layer absorbent member, wherein the deposition region of its upper acquisition layer comprises a distribution zone and an acquisition zone having a lower average density and a lower average basis weight per unit area than the distribution zone. The acquisition zone is positioned toward the front of either the absorbent member or the absorbent article so that the acquisition zone may most effectively and efficiently rapidly acquire discharged liquids. The lower storage layer comprises a mixture of hydrophilic fibrous material and discrete particles of absorben gelling material having a particular size distribution so as to enhance the absorbent capacity and acquisition rate of the dual-layer absorbent member. The upper acquisition layer comprises a homogeneous composition of stiffened, twisted, and curied cellulose fibers which provide enhanced wicking action in the densified distribution zone. The upper acquisition layer serves to rapidly and evenly distribute fluids to the lower storage laer for storage, while freeing the acquisition zone for the next discharge of fluid.
