Patent EP-0947189-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SUGII TETSUJI
IPC: C09J7/02
Filed: 1997-08-06
Abstract: Provided is a wet pressure-sensitive adhesive
composition which comprises, as a component A, at least one
compound selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl
pyrrolidone, a vinyl pyrrolidone·vinyl acetate copolymer,
polyethylene oxide and the half ester of a methyl vinyl
ether·maleic anhydride copolymer; as a component B, a
liquid plasticizer compatible with the component A; and as
a component C, a filler. The combination of the component
C with components A and B makes it possible to provide a
wet pressure-sensitive adhesive composition which exhibits
tackiness in the presence of water or a hydrophilic medium,
adheres well to the application site, dries speedily after
adhesion, has high mechanical strength after drying and can
be peeled off easily. The wet pressure-sensitive adhesive
composition is therefore useful as a facial pack material
such as peel-off pack for the removal of horny plugs formed
in the skin pores or a skin covering material for the moist
or wet skin surface.

Inventor: ROLSTON ROBERT MITCHELL
IPC: G01K13/06
Filed: 1997-08-07
Abstract: Apparatus for and methods of meauring heat flux comprises first and second sensors arranged to pass through an oven in line astern. Each sensor measures the temperature difference across a thermally insulating layer by having one surface of each sensor being exposed to the heat flux, each sensor including thermocouple measuring junctions for measuring the temperature of the exposed surface. The first sensor is radiation-absorbing and the second sensor is reflecting. The apparatus includes additional thermocouple junctions for measuring the gas temperature and a device for recording data from the sensors and from additional thermocouple junctions. The signals from one of the sensors at one instant are correlated with the corresponding signals from the other sensor at a later instant, the time difference being the time taken for one sensor to reach a position formerly occupied by the other sensor.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing undesired material from the surface of a substrate provides a flow of inert gas over the undesired material substrate surface while irradiating the undesired material with energetic photons directed at an angle that is oblique to the substrate. The invention enables removal of undesired material without altering the physical properties of the material underlying or adjacent the removed, undesired material. In certain circumstances, the non-perpendicular incidence permits effective removal where normal incidence caused damage to the substrate or poor removal or both.

Abstract: In determining for each base station in a wireless
telecommunication switching system whether a wireless handset should
receive audio or vibration alerting for incoming calls the wireless
telecommunication switching system utilizes information specifying
alerting for the base stations that is entered by a system administrator. In
addition, individual users may choose to specify areas designated by the
system administrator for audio alerting as vibration alerting. The
information specifying the audio or vibration alerting from either the
administrator or individual users is specified for different periods of time
for each of the base stations. The system administrator may directly
determine the alerting information for each individual base station. Also,
the system administrator may determine the alerting information for
different areas of the building, and as base stations are added to the
wireless telecommunication system, they inherit the attributes of the area
in which they are placed.

Abstract: A vehicle safety system has crash detection circuitry and an airbag (22) adjacent a vehicle seat further includes a system for determining the weight of a passenger on the vehicle seat. If the detected weight of the passenger does not exceed a predetermined weight threshold, the airbag is disabled. A forward sensor (44) and a rear sensor (46) are mounted in a vehicle seat adjacent a ferromagnetic structure element in the seat. The sensors measure strain on the ferromagnetic element (40), which is proportional to weight on the vehicle seat. A comparison of the measurements of the two sensors also provides an indication of the position of the passenger on the vehicle seat, such that the airbag may be disabled if the passenger is sitting too close to the airbag. Each of the sensors preferably employs an electromagnet (48) generating an oscillating magnetic field of a known frequency and a coil (50). Strain on the ferromagnetic element alters the magnetic field and such strain detected by the coil. The detected change in the magnetic field is proportional to the weight of the passenger.

Abstract: A code string is recorded which includes a coded signal of a channel A of
(L+R)/2 generated from signals of L and R channels, a coded signal of either one of
the signals of the L and R channels or a channel B of (L-R)/2, channel constituent data
as selection information of the signal of the channel B, and coding parameters. The
channel A signal is a signal which can be reproduced by a former standard-adaptable
reproducing device and the channel B signal is a signal which can be reproduced by
a new standard-adaptable reproducing device. The new standard-adaptable
reproducing device is capable of reproducing the signals of the channels A and B.
Thus, in coding and decoding for realizing multi-channel by extension in accordance
with the new standard while enabling reproduction by the former standard-adaptable
reproducing device, quantization noise generated by coding is restrained to the
minimum level, thus reducing deterioration in sound quality.
