Abstract: Composite laminate interlayers for a glass laminate comprising a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer (203) between layers of plasticized polyvinyl butyral (PVB) adhesive layers (202, 204), wherein at least one of the PVB adhesive layers is stiffened, e.g. by reduction in the amount of plasticizer, and has a glass transition temperature greater than 35  DEG C. The PET is preferably 0.075 to 0.25 mm (3-10 mils) thick and can have a functional coating (407) for reducing radiation, e.g. UV or IR or visible light, transmission through the glass laminate. The laminate can also comprise at least one elastomeric layer (406) adapted to reducing sound transmission through the glass laminate. The laminates exhibit enhanced maximum flexural modulus of greater than about 350 Newtons/centimeter.

Abstract: A method of, and apparatus for, automatically determining an electric charge - related characteristic or derived parameter of particles (78) in a dispersion (76) or of a cell wall, comprises having a particle (78) - containing dispersion (76) provided in a cell (58). The dispersion is illuminated with light from a light source and detecting from a detection volume light scattered from the particles. An electric field is applied to the dispersion (76) at a first frequency of change of direction of the electric field and an electric field is subsequently applied to the dispersion (76) at a second frequency of change of direction of the electric field. First signals detected from the scattered light when the first frequency electric field is applied are used to provide first values related to the velocity distribution of the particles. A second velocity related signal or value derived from scattered light during the time that the second frequency electric field is applied is used to modify the velocity distribution related values to produce a modified particle velocity-related distribution; and the first frequency is low enough to obtain an acceptable resolution of the distribution of particle velocity - related values. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method for measuring gas usage in which a mass flow is determined and then corrected using a correction value. The correction value takes into account the heat capacity, thermal conductivity and density of the gas and is determined using a sample of still gas that is heated with a heater (20) and monitored with a spatially separate thermometer (21). The gas is monitored over time to determine the period between heating of the gas and detection of a temperature maximum at the thermometer, from which the diffusivity and correction value are determined. An Independent claim is made for a corresponding gas meter with a correction sensor. The gas meter has a by-pass pipe with an inventive sensor for determining the mass flow.

Abstract: The invention relates to packet data transmissions from network servers to wireless communication stations via wireless communication networks. A network server 30 about to transmit packet data to a wireless communication station 20 first requests the wireless station 20 to provide its radio transferring capabilities to the server 30. Based on these radio transferring capabilities, the information content to be transferred from the server 30 to the wireless station 20, via a wireless communication network 10 and any network operatively connecting the server with the wireless network 10, is adapted so that the resulting packet data transmission is suitable for the radio transferring capabilities of the wireless station 20. This results in a reasonable transmission time and in elimination of any annoying transmission delays due to bandwidth capacity problems. <IMAGE>
