Abstract: A method of improving an adhesive article, such tape, a label or
repositionable paper, containing a paper facestock layer and an adhesive
layer is disclosed. The adhesive layer contains a pressure sensitive
adhesive and voided latex particles. The incorporation of the voided latex
particles into the adhesive layer provides opacity and improves shear
strength, without unacceptably compromising the tack and peel adhesion
properties of the adhesive layer and without causing wear to processing
equipment relative to conventional fillers.

Abstract: Antenna apparatus comprises dipole antenna (14)
arranged proximate to a surface of metal housing (11)
of radio device circuit (12) and having two quarter
wavelength elements (21, 22) having opposite end
portions being feed points (23, 24), short-circuit
element (15) short-circuiting the quarter wavelength
elements (21, 22), and coaxial feed line (16) having
outer conductor (25) and central conductor (26) having
one ends connected to the feed points (23, 24), and
connecting the feed points (23, 24) to radio device
circuit (12). The coaxial feed line (16) is arranged
along part of the quarter wavelength element (21) and
part of the short-circuit element (15) and branched
from central portion of the short-circuit element (15).
The outer conductor (25) is partially connected to the
quarter wavelength element (21) and short-circuit
element (15). Currents leaked onto the feed line (16)
and flowing through the two quarter wavelength elements
(21, 22) are also divided to the short-circuit element
(15). The currents are mixed at a position at which
the coaxial feed line is branched and leaked into the
outer conductor of the coaxial feed line. The leaked
currents are almost opposite in phase to each other.
it element are almost opposite in phase to each other.
Thus, the currents cancel each other and the leak
current becomes zero.

Abstract: Apparatus for evaluating a part of a seafood animal such as a lobster claw,
to determine the ratio of meat to water and other characteristics, including first and
second transducers (12, 14) that are coupled to spaced locations on the part P of
the animal so when the first transducer transmits sonic energy it passes through
the animal part to the second transducer. A circuit (34) coupled to the second
transducer analyzes detected sonic energy. In one system, the circuit calculates
the velocity of sound through the part of the seafood animal. A higher velocity
indicates a higher meat content. Another circuit includes an indicator that indicates
the amplitude of sound detected by the second transducer, especially the
amplitude of sound of the predominant frequency generated by the first transducer,
that has passed directly through the animal part. A lower amplitude indicates a
higher meat content. A pressure sensor (124) automatically activates the first
transducer to generate sonic energy, when the transducers are pressed with a
predetermined force against the part of the seafood animal. The transducers can
be mounted on a glove (92) between the thumb (T) and an opposed finger (F), so
the part can be tested when it is picked up by a person wearing the glove.

Abstract: The invention permits a terminal retaining body provided with a retainer to fit smoothly
into a cylindrical body. 
     A male housing 10 is formed by fitting an inner housing 30, in which a retainer 40 is
attached, into a hood 12 of an outer housing 11. A protruding member 60 protrudes
outwards from a right side of the hood 12, and a guiding groove 61 is formed in a
concave manner from an anterior end of an inner face of the protruding member 60. A
guiding member 62, which forms an inwardly inclining face, joins with the posterior of
the guiding groove 61. If the retainer 40 protrudes from a side face of the inner housing
30 when this inner housing 30 is being fitted, the guiding member 62 engages with the
retainer 40 while the inner housing 30 is being pushed inwards, and automatically
pushes the retainer 40 inwards.

Abstract: A drinking vessel, which is especially adapted for use by infants,
toddlers and the like, includes a cup, a lid and a flow control valve. The cup includes
a body and an overmolding which partially covers the body to function as a bumper
and to provide gripping surfaces for a user. The lid has a spoutless design which
allows a user to simulate drinking from a conventional open-mouthed cup and which
also maximizes liquid evacuation from the cup. The flow control valve has a
polygonally-shaped body with a plurality of corners and a liquid-dispensing nipple
which is located in one of the corners so that the flow control valve can be positioned
adjacent to a peripheral edge of the lid, thereby promoting the complete evacuation
of liquid from the cup. The size, shape and rigidity of the valve body inhibits it from
being inserted into the throat of a user or other individual.

The fibril associated collogen family includes various types of collogens, such as type VI, type XX, type XII, and type XIV. The small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans family includes decorin, keratocan, biglycan, epiphycan, lumican, mimecan, and fibromodulin. The second composition includes the enzyme found as a normal component of tissues, plasma, or epidermis, such as transglutaminase.

Abstract: A method for performing Cell-Updates or URA-Updates in a mobile communication system (10) is disclosed, whereby a user Equipment (UE) (19) sends a Cell-Update message or URA-Update message to an SRNC (16a). The transported Cell-Update message or URA-Update message includes a sequence counter which is incremented each time the UE (19) sends such a message to the SRNC (16a). The SRNC (16a) stores the value of the sequence counter for each Cell-Update message or URA-Update message received and acknowledged. If the SRNC (16a) receives a Cell-Update message or URA-Update message with a corresponding sequence counter value that is lower than the sequence counter value stored for the previously received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message, then the SRNC (16a) ignores the received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message.  Also, the SRNC (16a) does not store the sequence counter value for the ignored, received Cell-Update message or URA-Update message.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile station capable of determining its current location within a wireless communication system. The mobile station periodically generates an estimate of its current location or mobility and then monitors channels for channel selection based thereon in order to minimize frame stealing while in active mode and save energy during idle mode. The same information is also useful for determining which cells to monitor and controlling how frequently position or changes of position estimates are made. Although the invention requires a determination of the mobile station's position or mobility, the manner in which the mobile station determines these characteristics may vary. A separate positioning receiver, terrestrial or satellite based, such as that used with the Global Positioning System, may allow the mobile station to calculate its position. Alternatively, the mobile station may monitor signals provided during communications with the base stations to calculate a relative position. In yet another embodiment, the base stations and associated cellular systems may cooperate to determine a particular mobile station's position and then download the position to the mobile station. <IMAGE>

offset value is applied and a second variable length coding process is
performed. If the second run does not find a match either, a fixed
length code is used.
