IPC: B60J10/00
Filed: 1996-07-05
Abstract: A sensing system is provided which senses an obstruction between a closure member and a frame, regardless of the direction of the input force to the sensor, such that when the obstruction is sensed to be between the closure member and the frame, the operation of the closure member can be controlled to prevent further closing of the closure member upon the obstruction. The sensing system includes a membrane switch assembly which changes resistance when a force component caused by the obstruction is exerted on the switch assembly.

Title: Telephone-based speech recognition for data collection
Inventor: ROSINSKI RICHARD R
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 1998-04-20
Abstract: A production script for interactions between participants and an automated data collection system is created by selectively tuning an experimental script through successive trials until a recognition rate of the system is at least an acceptability threshold. The data collection system uses a semi-constrained grammar, which is a practical accommodation of a larger range of possible inputs than a menu. The data collection system collects data by recognizing utterances from participants in accordance with the production script.

Title: Absorbent article containing extensible zones
Inventor: SERBIAK PAUL JOHN
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1996-11-20
Abstract: An absorbent article includes extensible zones. These extensible zones enable the absorbent article to expand and fit a broad size range of users. The extensible zones enable a broad range of adjustment in waist and leg opening dimensions by extension and retraction of the extensible zones. The bodyside liner layer and the outer cover layer preferably comprise spunbonded layers stretched in one direction and correspondingly narrowed in another direction.  The extensible zones typically include an elastic layer between, and mounted to extend with, the outer cover layer and the bodyside liner layer. The elastic layer can comprise an elastic film or strands of material. An absorbent core is located between the bodyside liner layer and the outer cover layer. A method for forming an absorbent article is also disclosed which includes the step of forming a base structure by attaching the extensible bodyside liner layer to an extensible outer cover layer and creating at least one extensible zone by incorporating the elastic layer between the outer cover layer and the bodyside liner layer. In another embodiment of the invention, a plurality of extensible zones are formed with plural elastic layer elements.  In another embodiment of the invention, the outer cover layer is formed by a nonextensible layer which is gathered and attached to the elastic layer and the bodyside liner layer. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the extensible zones are formed by the outer cover layer and bodyside liner layer with no elastic layer present.

Abstract: A partition member (14) having a lattice-shaped partition (30) is arranged near an upward surface of molten metal tank. The upward face (16) is partitioned into a multiplicity of partial surfaces (34) by the partition (30). After a forming start member (20) is caused to contact with the partition member (14) to bond a molten metal to a start surface (66), it is separated from the partition member (14). The molten metal is withdrawn for every partial surface (34), and the molten metal (24) withdrawn solidifies, so that a formed material (26) is formed, of which a cross-sectional shape corresponds to a shape of the start surface (66). If a forming start member having a start surface of a different shape is used, a formed material having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to a shape of the start surface can be formed.

IPC: E21B23/02
Filed: 1998-07-31
Abstract: An apparatus and method for directing a first and a second object into a primary and a secondary borehole respectively from a main borehole communicating therewith at a borehole junction. The apparatus includes a deflector for positioning at the borehole junction to direct the first and second objects into the primary and secondary boreholes. A retainer holds the objects relative to each other such that when the first object is aligned to be directed into the primary borehole, the second object is aligned to be directed into the secondary borehole. A retainer orienting mechanism orients the retainer relative to the borehole junction so that the objects are aligned to be directed into the boreholes.     The method includes positioning the deflector at the borehole junction and inserting the objects and the retainer into the main borehole. The retainer is oriented relative to the borehole junction so that the objects are aligned to be directed into their respective boreholes. The objects are then directed into the boreholes by bringing them into contact with the deflector.

Title: Dynamic interference optimization method for satellites transmitting multiple beams with common frequencies
Inventor: NORIN JOHN L
IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1998-10-19
Abstract: A dynamic method for optimizing interference levels between multiple downlink beams transmitted from a satellite with a common frequency spectrum causes the power level of at least one of the interfering beams to be adjusted so as to produce desired interference levels within the beams' respective ground target areas. The beam power adjustments are preferably accomplished by varying the drive levels of the high power amplifiers on board the satellite, at least one of which is initially operated at less than its maximum rated power level. Single or multiple beam powers can be adjusted, either up, down or some up and some down. Power level adjustments are normally made in response to actual beam power profiles not matching design standards, to changing service priorities among the different beam target areas, and to changing signal power requirements for the different beams.
