Abstract: This invention relates to a process for forming a single-layer, durably wettable polymeric web having a plurality of apertures. This process comprises melting a mixture of at least one thermoplastic polymer and at least one migratable surfactant and extruding the mixture to form a single-layer, substantially continuous polymeric film. The film is then apertured using high pressure fluid flows. Aperture formation is conducted when the single-layer polymeric film has a contact angle of at least about 30°, to minimize wash-off of the surfactant impregnated in the polymer web. The invention also relates to durably-wettable apertured webs.

Abstract: An Atmospheric Pressure Ion (API) source is configured for Electrospray (ES) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) operating modes. The API source includes a multipurpose heater assembly mounted in the API source chamber. The multipurpose heater supplies heat to the API chamber endplate, bath gas and entrance end of the capillary orifice into vacuum as well as supplying electrical connections to the API source elements. An additional heater is configured at the exit end of the capillary orifice into vacuum. With this configuration, the bath gas, endplate and capillary entrance temperature can be set independent of gas flow rate. The capillary exit and entrance temperatures can be set independently as well. The multipurpose endplate heater combined with the capillary exit heater allows the optimization of API source performance over a wide range of operating conditions and analytical applications.

Abstract: A digital data processing apparatus includes a processing element that executes a process for generating request for access to mapped data in a memory element. The apparatus also includes a fork/checkpoint-signalling element that generates "new-process signals" which delineate new time intervals. The apparatus responds to data requests generated by the process before the first new-process signal by accessing a requested datum as stored in a first set in memory. An address space manager responds to certain requests, e.g., for write access, in subsequent intervals for copying the requested datum from the most recent set in which it is stored to the current interval and, thereafter, accessing that copy. The manager responds to other requests, e.g., those fore read-type access, by accessing the requested datum in the most recent set in which it is stored. A fork element can create a second process that initially duplicates a first one and can initiate generation of a new-process signal in connection with creation of the second process.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A browser for viewing data representing text, pictures, sounds, virtual reality worlds, links, or other objects, and organized in a hierarchical structure is provided to display and interact with links to the data. A retrieved set of data is displayed in a lens, and subsequently retrieved sets of data that are deeper in the hierarchical structure are displayed in further stacked lenses, creating a visual representation of the hierarchy. A label on each lens provides information on the data originally displayed in the lens. A user may choose to view the originally displayed contents of any lens on the screen. A user may also modify a personal hierarchical data structure comprising links to sets of data in the first hierarchical structure. In doing so, a user creates an entirely new hierarchical structure that customizes the organization of data according to personal preferences and takes advantage of natural association to reduce the number of perceived levels in the new hierarchical data structure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A wall (10) is provided on one side of a web (W) of paper or the like traveling along a predefined path, and an airstream is produced between the wall and the traveling web approximately in the direction of web travel. A transverse static pressure gradient is established across the airstream, causing the stream to flow close to the wall surface. This phenomenon is called as the Coanda effect. A partial vacuum created in the airstream causes the web to deflect from its normal path and to be drawn to the wall surface under sufficient pressure to be kept from fluttering. This method of web flutter control is applied to the splicing of webs, as from one roll to another in a web-fed rotary printing press. The web being unwound from the old roll has been susceptible to fluttering while being spliced to the new roll, such web fluttering being eliminable by providing a wall member along the web path and producing an airstream between the web and the wall member. <IMAGE>
