Abstract: An absorbent article, e.g. diaper, comprises a non-woven fabric containing fibers. The non-woven fabric has a surface tension of >=65 mN/m when wetted with saline solution and a liquid strike through time not less than5 seconds for a fifth gush of liquid; and polymers of hydrophilic monomer molecules and radical polymerization initiator molecules, which are up to 2 (preferably up to 1) wt.% of the monomer molecules. An absorbent article, e.g. diaper (20), comprises liquid pervious top sheet (24), liquid impervious back sheet (26), and an absorbent core (28) between the top sheet and back sheet. The absorbent article comprises a nonwoven fabric containing fibers and polymers. The nonwoven fabric has a surface tension of >=65 mN/m when being wetted with saline solution and a liquid strike through time of less than 5 second for a fifth gush of liquid. The polymers comprise hydrophilic monomer molecules and radical polymerization initiator molecules chemically grafted to the surface of fibers comprised by the nonwoven fabric. The amount of radical polymerization initiator molecules is up to 2 (preferably up to 1) wt.% of the monomer molecules.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a security document, particularly a banknote comprises a substrate (1) and on-board power supply (7) for driving a new class of electronic security means utilising the on-board power supply. The advantage of having an on-board power supply is that all electronic means using electric energy can be considered as security devices, i. e. all electronic devices having appropriate functions allowing an identification and/or authentication of the banknote without the use of an external apparatus. It is a major aspect of the invention that the on-board power supply means is a photovoltaic cell means the electrical power of which is self-generating and self-sustaining. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Applicator (1) comprises tubular outer (2), plunger (3), intended to expel an object from the tubular outer, and a flexible sleeve (12) fixed concentrically to the outer between the distal end (8) of the outer and the object.  An applicator comprises a tubular outer, a plunger intended to expel an object from the tubular outer, and a flexible sleeve fixed concentrically to the outer between the distal end of the outer and the object. The flexible sleeve deploys around the object when the latter leaves the length of the deployed sleeve corresponding to that of the object. The plunger is long enough to hold the object in place relative to the wall of the natural orifice while the object is disengaged from the sleeve by sliding the outer and the sleeve in the opposite direction to the direction of insertion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a current collector for an electrochemical cell. The current collector has a unique grid structure comprised of a frame supporting a plurality of radial strands as conductors radiating outwardly from a focal point on a connector tab. The frame and radial conductors are maintained in a fan-like orientation with respect to each other by two groups of concentric conductor strands, one located adjacent to the tab, the other spaced a substantial distance therefrom. The radiating conductors provide a more direct path to the connector tab for electron flow. This results in the current collector having reduced internal resistance in comparison to conventional current collector designs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to communication network technology, more particularly to a hierarchical network management system on a distributed network management platform. The system is a network management system with multi-layer structure. It can manage large scale network through hierarchical configuration of numerous network management stations and classification of the management domains. For instance, the system may include upper layer network management stations and lower layer network management stations, in which the upper layer network management station has the functions such as configuring and monitoring the lower layer network management stations with help of corresponding devices, while the lower layer network management station provides services of data collecting, reporting and monitoring for the network management via simple network management protocol (SNMP). The hierarchical management system is flexible and expandable, and can reduce network load caused by large scale network management, and improve management performance. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention repose principalement sur le fait que dans la définition schématique qui est connue du codeur et du décodeur ou qui est transmise du codeur au décodeur, des informations relatives au calcul de codage sont fournies avec les types de données ou éléments qui ne se trouvent pas dans le sous-espace de noms, et de cette manière, chaque code du sous-espace de noms peut être affecté de manière univoque. Ainsi, pour la configuration d'un codec, une seule partie de l'espace de noms total peut être transmise avec le nombre des types de données ou éléments manquant pour la calcul de codage, ce qui signifie de manière générale un volume de données sensiblement plus faible que le volume de données nécessaire pour la totalité de l'espace de noms. De plus, les tables de codes ont une taille inférieure à celle des espaces de noms complètement connus, ce qui requière moins d'espace mémoire dans le codec et permet un codage et un décodage plus rapide.

Abstract: Une clé de session privée cryptée destinée à un procédé de cryptage à clé privée est rapidement échangée entre un premier dispositif et un second dispositif par calcul de données d'accélération du cryptage au moyen d'une clé publique destinée à un processus de cryptage à clé publique. Les données d'accélération du cryptage et la clé publique sont envoyées vers un second dispositif sur lequel elles sont utilisées pour crypter une clé de session privée échangée entre le premier dispositif et le second dispositif. Le processus de cryptage à clé privée est rapidement déclenché sur le second dispositif au moyen des données de déclenchement du cryptage destinées au processus de cryptage à clé privée qui sont calculées sur le premier dispositif à l'aide de la clé de session privée échangée envoyée au second dispositif. Les données d'accélération du cryptage et les données de déclenchement du cryptage permettent de réduire un certain nombre de calculs nécessaires sur le second dispositif pour déclencher et utiliser le processus de cryptage à clé privée, ce qui permet de réduire le temps global nécessaire à la création, entre le premier dispositif et le second dispositif, d'un canal de communication sécurisé de manière cryptographique.

Abstract: The failover of nodes within networks, using a multicast address or a multicast port, is disclosed. A first node of a network joins a multicast group having a multicast address, which is assigned to the first node. Communication to the first node is achieved via communication to the multicast address, and/or through a multicast port on a switch of the network mapping to a port on the first node. When the first node fails, one of two actions occurs. First, a second node of the network may join the multicast group, such that the multicast address is assigned to the second node, and the second node handles communication to the multicast address. Second, the multicast port on the switch may be remapped to a port on the second node, so that communication to the multicast address is directed to the port on the second node.

Abstract: The method and process for producing youthful appearing, small-pored, and smooth skin comprises pretreating the skin topically with retinoic acid, applying a contaminate in oil to the skin, and removing the contaminate by exploding or rupturing it with laser light. When treating the face, removing the contaminate requires only about 4 minutes. The laser light itself does not injure the skin but the rupture of the contaminant produces thermal injury in the high dermis leaving the epidermis intact. Repeated intermittent laser treatments and applications of topical retinoic acid produces the desired results in the skin indefinitely as long as the treatments and applications are continued.
