Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent article for managing bodily fluids,
comprising a high coefficient of friction ("COF") backsheet and at least one tape tab
extending therefrom. The tape tab comprises a minimum amount of pressure sensitive
adhesive sufficient to maintain the position of the article when a user's undergarments are
away from her body. When the undergarments are near her body, the high COF backsheet
acts as the predominant means for maintaining the position of the article due to normal
forces exerted by the user's body and undergarments. When the user wants to remove the
article from her undergarments, the tape tab provides additional advantages. The user may
grasp the tape tab itself for removing the article as an alternative to grasping a portion of
the soiled article. In addition the soiled article may be folded or rolled up, and then held in
that configuration with the tape tab, for convenient and discreet disposal.

Abstract: The process contemplates material removal from the surface of rotating bodies
(11) by moving at least one milling cutter (5) along an arched trajectory (21) in
a plane transverse to the axis of the bodies, so as to remove the material in the
circumferential direction of the body surface and parallel to the axis of the
milling cutter (5). This working can be carried out in addition to a vectorial
milling. The trajectory (21) is obtained by composing two linear translations
perpendicular to the milling cutter (5) by adjustment of the speed and the
rotation direction of the motors producing such translations.

Abstract: A power transmitting mechanism transmits power from an
engine to a drive shaft (6) of a compressor. A pulley (32) is
supported by the compressor and is coupled to the engine. A
hub (35b) is attached to the drive shaft (6). Rollers (39)
are located on the pulley (32). Elastic transmission arms
(42) are located between the pulley (32) and the hub (35b).
The distal end of each arm (42) is curved, and the proximal
end is coupled to the hub (35b). When the rollers are engaged
with the arms (42), power is transmitted between the pulley
(32) and the hub (35b). When, due to excessive torque, the
rollers (39) escape from the corresponding arm (42), power
transmission between the pulley (32) and the hub (35b) is
disconnected. The distal ends of the arms (42) are movable in
the radial direction. When the rollers (39) disengage from
the corresponding arms (42), the distal ends of the arms (42)
move radially such that the pulley (32) and the hub (35b)
relatively rotate without interference by the arms (42).

IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2001-06-08
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for a scheduling driver to implement a protocol using time estimates for use with a device that does not generate interrupts. An application calls the scheduling driver to start an Input/Output (I/O) request to a device. The scheduling driver determines if the device is busy. If the device is not busy, the scheduling driver provides an estimated processing time (EPT) for the I/O request to be completed to the application. In one embodiment, if the device is busy, the scheduling driver calculates an estimated amount of time left (EATL) until the device will be available to the application and provides this EATL to the application. When the device is not busy, the application sleeps for the estimated processing time (EPT) and calls the scheduling driver to obtain the I/O operation results. If the I/O request has been completed, the scheduling driver provides the I/O operation results to the application. However, if the I/O request has not been completed, the scheduling driver calculates an estimated processing time remaining (EPTR) for the I/O request to be completed and provides the EPTR to the application. The application then sleeps for the estimated processing time remaining (EPTR) and again calls the scheduling driver to obtain the I/O operation results. These operations can be repeated until the I/O request has been completed.
