Granted: 2002-07-02
Abstract: Disclosed are flexible plastic tapes each having at least one rounded edge, a method for forming the rounded edge by the application of heat, and an absorbent article provided with such tapes. The edges are rounded to reduce their sharpness in order to reduce the risk of irritation or injury to a wearer of the absorbent article and/or to any person coming into contact with the tapes. The tapes have a thickness not greater than that at which the edge would be sharp if it were not rounded. The tapes are relatively stiff and formed from a plastic material such as polypropylene or polypropylene copolymer.

Title: Process for ethyl acetate production
Inventor: TSAI KUN-YUNG
IPC: C07C67/40
Filed: 1997-11-07
Granted: 2003-06-10
Abstract: Oxidation of liquid ethanol in the presence of excess liquid ethanol and a supported oxidation catalyst provides a one step process for production of ethyl acetate. The acetic acid produced in the oxidation is absorbed by the excess liquid ethanol, which esterifies to ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate and water is removed from the process for separation of the ethyl acetate. The oxidation portion of process is preferred with a metallic oxidation catalyst on a hydrophobic support and the esterification portion with an acidic solid ion exchange resin to promote the esterification. The process can be performed in series in separate steps, or preferably, in parallel in a single vessel, preferably a trickle bed reactor. The process is easily controlled and enables the use of a wide range of ethanol concentration as feed material.

Abstract: A pedal assembly (12) for a vehicle (10) includes a bracket (16), a pedal arm (20) and a support mechanism (26). The bracket (16) is adapted to be mounted to a vehicle structure (18) such as firewall or vehicle dashboard assembly. The pedal arm (20) extends downwardly from the bracket (16) to a distal end (22) for supporting a pedal pad (24). The support mechanism (26) interconnects the pedal arm (20) and the bracket (16) for allowing pivotal movement of the pedal arm (20) in an operating plane (28) relative to the bracket (16) during normal operation and for guiding the pedal arm (20) out of the operating plane (28) in response to a predetermined force between the pedal arm (20) and the bracket (16). Thus, under normal operation the pedal assembly (12) is pivotally moved between a rest position and a use position, but when the load exerted on the pedal pad (24) exceeds a pre-determined force the support mechanism (26) moves the pedal assembly (12) laterally with respect to the bracket (16) so that the pedal assembly (12) is moved away from a vehicle driver (14).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une technique permettant l'administration centralisée, en temps réel, d'objets protégés, sur des systèmes informatiques de clients. Lorsqu'un utilisateur exécute la procédure d'entrée en communication dans une machine client, administrée centralement, un processus intermédiaire de modification d'objet démarre, en arrière-plan, avec des autorisations de compte administrateur. Par la suite, lorsque l'agent administratif essaie en vain d'exécuter une opération sur un objet protégé, sur le système informatique d'un client, pour lequel l'utilisateur connecté n'a pas d'autorisation suffisante pour exécuter (218, 220) l'opération, l'agent transmet une requête (226, 312) au processus intermédiaire de façon à exécuter l'opération. Le processus intermédiaire peut exécuter l'opération désirée car il dispose d'une autorisation suffisante pour ce faire, même si l'agent administratif ne peut le faire.

Title: Procede et dispositif permettant de steriliser thermiquement en continu un liquide
Inventor: MIZOTA TERUHIKO
IPC: A23L3/015
Filed: 1998-10-16
Granted: 2008-05-13
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet de stériliser thermiquement en continu un liquide et qui comprend une étape de préchauffage continu permettant de préchauffer un liquide, une étape de chauffage final permettant de chauffer le liquide préchauffé jusqu'à une température de stérilisation prédéterminée, une étape de maintien permettant de maintenir le liquide à la température de stérilisation pendant une durée prédéterminée et une étape de refroidissement permettant de refroidir le liquide ainsi maintenu. L'étape de chauffage final comprend les étapes suivantes: a) mise sous pression continue du liquide par une pompe haute pression, et b) détente continue du liquide jusqu'à une pression normale en moins de 10 secondes après la mise sous pression, ce qui fait monter la température du liquide jusqu'à la température de stérilisation prédéterminée. L'invention concerne également un dispositif permettant de mettre en oeuvre automatiquement ledit procédé. Comme celui-ci ne comporte pas de combustion durant l'étape de chauffage final, il peut être mis en oeuvre en continu sur une longue durée. En outre, du fait que le chauffage final n'entraîne pas de dénaturation notable du liquide, le coût de l'investissement et le coût de l'utilisation sont peu élevés et le liquide peut être traité en masse.

Abstract: A bumper construction for vehicles includes an elongated high-strength metal beam roll-formed from sheet steel, and at least one structural molded piece made of polymeric material attached to opposing end sections of the beam. Each structural piece has a rearwardly swept front surface that forms aerodynamically stylized corners at the ends of the beam. Each structural piece further provides attachment structure for attaching the beam to a vehicle, with the attachment structure being configured to transmit front impact forces compressively through the structural pieces to the vehicle frame, while minimizing the torsional and tensile forces on the attachment structure. The structural pieces further include a recess for closely receiving and supporting an impact-resisting flange on the beam to stabilize the beam during impact. The mateable engagement simplifies assembly, and further provides for high-energy absorption upon front impact of a vehicle.
