IPC: A61L15/60
Filed: 1996-09-13
Abstract: This invention concerns an absorbent composite a supporting member and a cationic absorbent polymer and anionic absorbent polymer particles fixed to the supporting member. This absorbent composite excels in absorbing capacity under pressure, vertical aspiration power, and flexibility and suffers only sparing exfoliation of an absorbent polymer. This invention further concerns an absorbent composite which contains an absorbent polymer in an amount of at least 30% by weight based on the total weight of the absorbent composite and, after absorbing a liquid, shows a value of not less than 3 for the expansion anisotropy specified by the following formula.       Expansion anisotropy = (Ez/Ex + Ez/Ey)/2          (wherein Ex, Ey, and Ez respectively represent coefficient of liner expansion in the directions of X axis, Y axis, and Z axis) and an absorbent article using the absorbent composite. 
     This invention permits production of a novel absorbent composite which suffers no leakage and excels in water absorbing power, water retaining power, and flexibility and an absorbent article using the absorbent composite.

Abstract: Air is separated in a higher pressure rectification column 12 into a bottom fraction of oxygen-enriched liquid air and a top fraction of nitrogen. The column 12 has a first inlet 14 for a first vaporous air stream at a first pressure communicating with an expansion turbine 64. A first condenser-reboiler 18 for condensing a second vaporous air stream at a second pressure greater than the first pressure has an inlet communicating with a compressor 2. The condensate flows through an expansion valve 20 into the higher pressure rectification column 12 via an inlet 32. A stream of oxygen-enriched liquid is withdrawn from the bottom of the column 12 through an outlet 40 and is introduced through inlet 48 into a lower pressure rectification column 36 in which an impure oxygen fraction is separated. A second condenser-reboiler 30 places the top of the higher pressure rectification column 12 in heat exchange relationship with an intermediate region of the column 36. Reboil for the bottom of the column 36 is provided by the first condenser-reboiler 18. An impure oxygen product is withdrawn from the column 36 through the outlet 76. Less power is consumed than in comparable known processes.

IPC: H04L29/06

Abstract: To enhance the security provided by data encryption in a data communication network, encryption/decryption keys are changed periodically at the source and destination nodes for an established connection. A destination node must know not only the value of any new key but also when to begin using that key to decrypt received data packets. Synchronization (making sure a data packet is decrypted using a decryption key correlated with the encryption key used to encrypt the same packet) is achieved through the use of marker cells, special purpose cells. When a source node decides to activate a new key, previously sent to and stored at the destination node, a marker cell is transmitted by the source node to the destination node. When the destination node recognizes the marker packet, it discards it and activates the previously received key for use in decrypting subsequently received packets.

Abstract: A data transmission control information acquisition section generates data transmission control information based on control information exchanged between applications of a data transmitter and a data receiver before data transmission is started. A data transfer control section determines a bandwidth to be used by the data transmission, transmission start time, etc. in a shared transmission medium in a unified manner based on the data transmission control information and current bandwidth use conditions, and transmits the thus-determined information to the data transmitter. The data transmitter transmits data to the data receiver via the transmission medium under unified management.

Abstract: A dishwasher pump and automatic purge system which includes a wash impeller
supported for rotation within a pump chamber wherein the pump chamber has a main outlet
and a sample outlet port. Wash liquid pumped out through the main outlet is recirculated
throughout the dishwasher interior wash chamber. A soil collector receives wash liquid
through the sample outlet port. The soil collector includes a filter screen for returning filtered
wash liquid back into the sump such that soils are retained in the soil collector. Pressure
within the soil collector is sensed by a pressure sensor. The soil collector is purged by a drain
pump when the pressure within the soil accumulator exceeds a predetermined limit level such
that soils are cleared from the collector and the filter screen. When the pressure within the soil
accumulator is reduced to below the predetermined limit level, the drain pump is deenergized.
A control valve is provided for preventing fluid flow from the dishwasher sump to the drain
pump during the purge operation while the wash pump is operating. The control valve is
operated in response to fluid pressure created by the wash impeller.

Abstract: In order to prevent accumulation of rounding errors
caused by the integer-based bilinear interpolation used in
the motion compensation process of image coding and decoding
methods, two types of P frames are used for unidirectional
motion compensation prediction, namely:
   P+ frames, which round the results of bilinear interpolation
with real number operations to the nearest integer
and rounds half integer values (0.5 added to an integer)
away from zero, and   P- frames, which differs from p+ frames in that the
above mentioned half integer values are rounded towards
zero.  
Utilising both of these P+ and P- frames enables cancelling
of rounding errors and prevents the accumulation of rounding
errors.
