Title: Process for processing expandable polymer particles and foam article thereof
Inventor: BERGHAMNS MICHEL FLORENTINE JO
IPC: C08J9/00
Filed: 2004-08-10
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Process for processing expandable polymer particles e.g. polystyrene (EPS) that eliminates the maturing step between the pre-expander and molding steps. The expandable particles are first over pressurized with gas, e.g. air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and mixtures thereof, at a pressure between 500 and 8000kPa and a temperature between -20~C  and 130~C for 15 to 7200 minutes to create a gas pressure in the particles.  Using the gas pressure in the particles, pre-expanding the particles with a heating medium, e.g. steam at a temperature between 100~C and 120~C and at a pressure ranging above atmospheric pressure and below the gas pressure in said particles, i.e. 50 to 200kPa for 5 to 120 seconds. The pre-expanded particles are air dried in the pre-expander while holding a positive pressure in the particles; are optionally transferred to a pressure silo; and then are transferred to a molding machine where the gas pressure in the particles is used to form a foam article.

Abstract: L'invention concerne les convertisseurs analogiques-numériques rapides à entrées différentielles et à structure parallèle, comprenant au moins un réseau de N résistances en série de valeur r et un réseau de N comparateurs. Pour minimiser l'influence des capacités parasites du réseau de résistances sur le temps de réponse du comparateur, on prévoit que le réseau de résistances en série reçoit une tension de référence (VH) et est parcouru pa r un courant fixe I0 et que le comparateur (COMPi) de rang i (i variant de 1 à N) comprend essentiellement un amplificateur différentiel double à quatre entrées ; deux entrées reçoivent une tension différentielle VS-VN à converti r, une troisième étant reliée à une résistance de rang i du réseau, et une quatrième entrée étant reliée à une résistance de rang N-i du réseau. L'amplificateur différentiel double fournit une tension représentant une différence de la forme (VS-VSN) - (N-2i)r.Io, et le comparateur bascule dans un sens ou dans l'autre selon le niveau de la tension VS-VSN et selon le ran g i du comparateur lorsque cette différence change de signe.

Title: Virtual keyboard system with automatic correction
Inventor: VAN MEURS PIM
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2004-12-22
Abstract: An enhanced text entry system (100) which uses word-level analysis to correct inaccuracies automatically in user keystroke entries on reduced-size or virtual keyboards (105). A method and system determine alternate textual interpretations of each sequence of inputs detected within a designated auto-correcting region (106). The actual interaction locations for the keystrokes may occur outside the boundaries of the specific keyboard key regions associated with the actual characters of the word interpretations proposed, where the distance from each interaction location to each corresponding intended character may increase with the expected frequency of the intended word in the language. Likewise, in a virtual keyboard system, the keys actuated may differ from the keys actually associated with the letters of the word interpretations.      Each such sequence corresponds to a complete word, and the user can easily select the intended word from among the generated interpretations.

Title: Dehydrating condensation agent having property of accumulating at interface with water
Inventor: KUNISHIMA MUNETAKA
IPC: C07C231/02
Filed: 2005-01-31
Abstract: A 1,3,5-triazine compound represented by the following formula (I). This compound can be easily and more economically synthesized and is usable as a dehydrating condensation agent having the property of accumulating at an interface with water. When a carboxylic acid, amine, alcohol, or the like to be reacted as a substrate is amphipathic, then the dehydrating condensation agent, which is amphipathic, is mixed with the substrate and the mixture is caused to form various molecular agglomerate phases including micells in an aqueous solution. Thus, the substrate and the dehydrating condensation agent can be accumulated at the interface with water. As a result, the concentration of the substrate increases locally at the interface with water to enable the condensation reaction to be extremely efficiently conducted.
