Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the production of nitrate containing products (fertilizers, technical products) from undercooling melts, wherein a XN-water solution is evaporated up to a content of 50-99.8 weight % XN, where X is one or more selected from Ca, Mg, NH, Na and K, and N means nitrate. The preferred range of XN is 70-99.5 weight %. The melt is cooled down to and kept at a temperature at or below the crystallisation point and finely divided solid XN powder consisting of the equilibrium phases is added to the melt. Melt drops are then formed and allowed to cool and solidify during up to 70 seconds. It is preferred to use a cooling belt for solidification of the particles. The belt is cooled by air, water, oil or another medium.

Abstract: A wearable disposable absorbent article useful for facilitating toilet training. The wearable disposable absorbent article includes a wetness sensation member having a permeable body-facing layer and an impermeable layer disposed between the permeable layer and an absorbent core in a face-to-face arrangement with the permeable layer. During insults of urine, the permeable layer allows urine to penetrate in the z-direction and provides a medium for the flow of urine in the x-y plane via wicking. The impermeable layer prevents the urine from passing completely through the wetness sensation member in the z direction and supports the movement of the urine in an x-y plane to enhance the wearer's awareness that urination has occurred by increasing the wetted area contacting the wearer's skin. The wetness sensation member preferably is held in close contact with a wearer's skin during use.

Abstract: By using a target voltage Vc* of a capacitor connected to the output side of a DC/DC converter and a voltage Vb of a battery connected to the input side of the DC/DC converter, a duty ratio D (Vb/Vc*) as a drive instruction of the DC/DC converter is calculated (S100, S102). By using the voltage Vb, the electromotive force Vbo of the battery, and the charge/discharge current Ib of the battery, an internal resistance Rb ((Vbo - Vb)/Ib) is calculated (S104). According to the internal resistance Rb and the electromotive force Vbo, the current value (value Vbo/2Rb) when the battery output becomes maximum is set as the upper limit value of the optimal current range IR (S106). the DC/DC converter is driven/controlled by limiting the duty ratio D so that the current Ib is within the range of the optimal current range IR (S108, S110, S112). Thus, it is possible to appropriately convert the battery input voltage.

Abstract: A trench-gate vertical power transistor in which the trench-gates ( 11 ) are parallel stripes which extend across the active area ( 100 ). Source regions ( 13 ) and ruggedness regions ( 15 ) extend to a source contact surface as alternating stripe areas having a width perpendicular to and fully between each two adjacent parallel stripe trench-gates ( 11 ). The ruggedness regions ( 15 ) are more heavily doped than the source regions and this enables an increased length of the source regions with a consequent reduction in specific resistance of the transistor. For example, the mesa width ( 13,15 ) and the trench-gate ( 11 ) width may both be about 0.4 mum, the ruggedness region ( 15 ) length may be about 1 mum and the source region ( 13 ) length may be about 20 mum. The doping concentration of the p type ruggedness regions ( 15 ) may be approximately 10 times greater than the doping concentration of the n type regions ( 13 ), for example about 10<SUB>21 </SUB>cm<SUB>-3 </SUB>and about 10<SUB>20 </SUB>cm<SUB>-3 </SUB>respectively.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insert that is to be added to a gas-pressurized liquid in a container. Said insert comprises a pressure-activated body with at least one cavity, said body being connected to a positioning device. According to the invention, (a) the pressure-activated body (4) comprises at least one opening (10) with a reduced diameter, which connects the cavity to the environment of the insert and is situated in a location that lies above the level of liquid when the insert is floating on said liquid and (b) the positioning device comprises a floating body (1, 2; 1, 2, 6) with a small opening (3), which is submerged in the liquid when the insert is placed on the latter, a ventilation opening (5), which communicates directly with the external environment (14) of the insert and a minimum volume (11), which when filled with liquid enables the insert to sink into the liquid. The inventive insert can be added to liquids that are sealed under pressure. It floats to the surface of said liquid, but sinks after a period of time. Its pressure-activated body is charged with the internal pressure of the sealed container and when the container of liquid is opened, said pressure is used in a known manner to achieve effects such as an improved foaming of beer or to mix a substance, which up to the point of opening has been stored separately in the container, with the liquid.

Abstract: A method of determining a sleep apnea from signals of electrical activity recorded of a chest of a sleeping subject, the signals being measured over a plurality of epochs comprises (a) extracting a series of cardiac R-R intervals from the signals; (b) determining awakening periods of the sleeping subject and excluding cardiac R-R intervals corresponding to said awakening periods from said series of cardiac R-R intervals; (c) obtaining a power spectrum from said series of cardiac R-R intervals; and (d) using said power spectrum to determine the sleep apnea of the sleeping subject. This may be done by comparing a power spectrum component to a predetermined threshold. Additionally, a pattern recognition procedure may be employed to identify representative patterns of sleep apnea. Preferably the method further comprises determining body positions or a change in the body position.
