Patent EP-1421991-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HEKAL IHAB M
IPC: B29C45/16
Filed: 1997-03-05
Abstract: The present invention includes processes and resulting structures for producing
moisture absorbing desiccant entrained polymers. A polymer is caused to
assume a molten state, typically by applying heat and melting the polymer. To
achieve certain results in the hardened end product, such as rigidity and
durability, the polymer normally acts as a moisture barrier in a solidified state,
both before and after melting. A desiccating agent (30) is blended into the
polymer (25) so that the desiccating agent is distributed within the polymer. A
channeling agent (35) is also blended into the polymer so that it is distributed
within the polymer. The blending of the components is preferably done before
the polymer is caused to assume a molten state. Together, the polymer,
desiccating agent and channeling agent create a blended mixture. The mixture
is solidified so that the channeling agent forms passages (45) in the mixture
through which moisture is communicable to desiccating agent that is entrained
within the mixture. The solidified mixture may be used to form plug type
inserts (55) and liners (70) for closed containers (60), or it may be used for
producing laminated sheeting (75) employed as package wrap.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour améliorer ou éliminer des termes de distorsion d'ordre pair de seconde harmonique ou supérieure et équilibrer des signaux fondamentaux dans des amplificateurs symétriques et d'autres circuits différentiels. Un signal en mode commun (CM) est produit en tant que somme de deux signaux complémentaires hors-phase dans un réseau de cumul. Ledit signal CM contient des termes de distorsion d'ordre pair, tandis que le signal fondamental et des termes de distorsion d'ordre impair sont supprimés, ceci permettant d'utiliser un signal de correction pour réduire des termes de distorsion d'ordre pair par injection du signal de correction, à phase et amplitude propres, dans des noeuds de circuits appropriés. Pour la rétroaction, le signal de correction est injecté sur l'entrée des amplificateurs, pour la non rétroaction, il est injecté à la sortie. Le signal de correction peut être amplifié à des niveaux plus élevés dans le circuit, sans affecter le gain des signaux fondamentaux. Ledit procédé consiste à améliorer les termes de distorsion d'ordre pair de manière significative et permet d'équilibrer les signaux fondamentaux complémentaires.

Abstract: An enterprise planning system includes a plurality of application servers, and an administration console to generate a deployment map that associates each of a set of enterprise planning models with a respective set of the application servers. The administration console, either automatically or in response to input from a system administrator, may finely control the allocation of computing resources to enterprise planning. The administrator console may adjust the deployment map based on approaching deadlines for the enterprise planning activities. When administrating a task associated with an enterprise planning activity, the administration console may break the task into a number of jobs, each job associated with a different slice of the model in accordance with the organizational hierarchy defined by the model. Consequently, allocation of computing resources to enterprise planning may be finely controlled, and may be adjusted to meet the current needs within the organizational hierarchy.
