Abstract: The method consists in using a strip of a plastically deformable material which is capable of acquiring elastic spring properties after treatment. The central portion of the strip is coated in a layer of electrically conductive material and then the strip is punched so as to obtain springs which are interconnected at their ends by two continuous side strips. Thereafter, the springs are displaced from the plane of the strip being twisted about their respective longitudinal axes, and one edge of each spring is folded down as a hem in the direction which ensures that the layer of conductive material remains on the outside of the fold. Thereafter, the strip is subjected to hardening treatment to confer elastic properties thereto.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de régulation du débit servant à réguler un débit discontinu d'un gaz utilisé dans la fabrication de semi-conducteurs. Le système de régulation du débit peut être mis en oeuvre en mode d'écoulement pour l'alimentation d'un lot de gaz utilisé pendant une période d'alimentation, ou bien en mode à débit nul. Après le début de l'alimentation, la chute de pression du gaz dans une capacité de référence du système est mesurée pour une période de mesure de durée pendant que l'écoulement du gaz d'une source vers la capacité de référence est interrompu et que se poursuit à un débit régulé l'alimentation en gaz du système vers un appareil de fabrication de semi-conducteurs. Le taux de chute de pression intervenant dans la capacité de référence pendant la période de mesure de durée est utilisé comme mesure du débit réel. Lorsque le débit réel ne correspond pas avec un débit d'alimentation déterminé, le débit régulé pour une période d'alimentation subséquente dans laquelle un autre lot de gaz alimenté est ajusté. Des éléments du système de régulation du débit sont arrangés le long d'une rampe d'alimentation en gaz sous forme d'une tige d'alimentation allongée présentant une largeur inférieure à 1,5 pouce, ce qui fait gagner un espace important dans un groupe des systèmes de régulation du débit pouvant comporter jusqu'à 20 unités.

Abstract: New and useful low viscosity polymeric colorant formulations are provided comprising extremely low amounts of viscosity modifiers that drastically reduce the overall viscosity of the resultant colorant formulation as compared with the viscosity of the colorants themselves. In such a manner, the resultant formulation facilitates the utilization of such polymeric colorants within certain coloring processes and methods requiring low viscosity formulations while simultaneously permitting substantial retention of the same high color strength characteristics of the unmodified colorants. Such an unexpected result thus permits production and utilization of a low viscosity formulation that does not sacrifice colorability to an appreciable degree for target substrates or media. The inventive formulations thus comprise any number of polymeric colorants, (i.e., oxyalkylenated colorants comprising at least one chromophore constituent and at least oxyalkylene chain) and at least one viscosity modifying agent possessing a dipole moment of between 1.0 and 5.0 and/or a flash point of from about -20° C. to about 180° C. Such a modifying agent provides a significant reduction in viscosity at low levels (to permit better pumpability of the desired colorants) with no appreciable differences in coloring performance within final target media, and facilitates removal of such modifiers during or after utilization. Methods of production, utilization, and products produced with such formulations and by such methods are also encompassed within this invention.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for remote device management using a virtual console. The method and apparatus implements a normalized scheme for developing a graphical user interface (GUI) for remotely managing any computer or networking device that has a console user interface (CUI) for updating a device configuration using a set of predefined configuration commands, and an underlying configuration kernel (CK) for maintaining the state of the device configuration (e.g. user names, passwords, timeout values, etc.). By re-using the CUI and underlying CK code, the scheme requires minimal specific knowledge of the configuration command set implementing the CUI and CK configuration functionality, thereby eliminating the necessity for creating redundant command set aware code in the GUI. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus employs a set of object-oriented classes and macros which interact with the CUI in a standardized manner to associate GUI components with the corresponding configuration command set. The standardized manner of interacting includes refreshing the state of the GUI in response to messages sent from the CUI, and sending messages to the CUI in response to user actions in the GUI. As a result, the GUI functions as a user-friendly interface that encapsulates the functionality of the CUI and underlying CK, and the CUI functions as a virtual console for the remote device.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article, e.g., a diaper, and a method of manufacturing plural such articles. Each diaper includes a front section, a rear section and an intermediate section. Each section is a generally planar member formed of a flexible material having a top edge, a bottom edge and an opposed pair of side edges. The bottom edge of the front section is somewhat concave, and the bottom edge of the rear section is somewhat convex. The intermediate section is formed of a fluid pervious cover-stock, a fluid impervious barrier layer, and an absorbent core interposed therebetween. The intermediate section is of generally rectangular shape having a pair of elasticized sides and an pair of end portion one of which is adhesively secured to the middle of the front section, while the other end portion is similarly secured to the middle of the rear section. The front and rear sections are arranged to be releasably secured to each other by fastening tapes to mount the diaper. A portion of the bottom edge of the front section, one side of the intermediate section and a corresponding portion of the bottom edge of the rear section form one leg hole of the diaper. Corresponding portions of the front, rear and intermediate sections form the other leg hole. The tensioned intermediate section forms a pair of upstanding walls conforming to the crotch of the wearer to prevent leakage from the diaper. The diapers are made by providing plural sheet units, each making up a front section of one diaper and a rear section of the next succeeding diaper. Those units are adhesively secured to respective ends of an intermediate section in a sequential line of such sections. Then the two sheet units that are secured to the intermediate section are each severed transversely to complete a diaper. This process is repeated for succeeding diapers.

Abstract: A method of forming a low-friction, helically ridged skirt surface of an engine piston 30 (Fif 2(a)) comprises cutting a continuous groove (40) in a piston body rotating about axis (34) so that adjacent groove turns intersect as ridges (42) and carry lubricating oil which forms a film on the ridged surface. The groove (40) is cut by way of a diamond tool tip (60) traversing along the axis (34). Whereas in a known, standard finish the ridges (42) have sharp peaks that can rupture the oil film, the tool is here modified to include a planing tip (70) fixed spatially with respect to the tip (60) so that after formation each ridge is planed flat to provide a plateau (44) between groove turns that exerts less film rupturing pressure against a cylinder wall whilst defining a uniformly flat outer surface for the piston. The cuting may vary the piston diameter towards the ends of the body to effect barreling in which the relationship between plateau width and groove depth vary.

Abstract: An oximeter sensor adapter which allows a sensor without a resistor in parallel with its LEDs to operate with an oximeter expecting such a resistor in parallel. The adapter includes LED drive electronics and appropriate oximeter drive current sensing circuitry for converting the drive signals from the oximeter into appropriate LED drive signals for the sensor. Instead of a resistor being on the sensor in parallel with one or more of the LEDs, the resistor is placed across the leads in front of the LED drive electronics and oximeter drive current sensing circuitry, on the oximeter side of the adapter. By providing LED drive electronics and oximeter drive current sensing circuitry which do not draw significant current at a low voltage, the oximeter is able to measure the resistor independently just as if it were in parallel with the LEDs.
