Abstract: A melt distribution block for a co-extrusion die has a generally annular body, for example in the shape of a conical frustum. The annular body has opposed front and rear faces and opposed inner and outer faces. Inlets at the outer face have channel ports for accepting flow of melted polymer into the distribution block. Flow controlling valves independently control the flow of the melted polymer through each of the channel ports. Melt flow channels on the front and rear faces between the inner and outer faces are in fluid communication with the channel ports. A thermal insulation layer within the distribution block between the front and rear faces separate all or part of the melt flow channels on the front face from all or part of the melt flow channels on the rear face. Such blocks together with separator blocks may be axially stacked front to rear around a central mandrel to form an extrusion die suitable for making blown films into tubular form.

Abstract: An acknowledgement method in a wireless communication system. Initially, a reverse supplemental channel (R-SCH) frame is received at a base station. The base station then transmits an acknowledgement (ACK) signal if quality of the received R-SCH frame is indicated as being good. A negative acknowledgement (NAK) signal is transmitted only if the received data frame is indicated as being bad but has enough energy such that, if combined with energy from retransmission of the data frame, it would be sufficient to permit correct decoding of the data frame. If the best base station is known, the acknowledgement method may reverse the transmission of the acknowledgement signals for the best base station so that only NAK signal is sent. A positive acknowledgement is assumed in the absence of an acknowledgement. This is done to minimize the transmit power requirements.

Abstract: L'invention vise un panneau acoustique multi-composite utilisable à titre d'appui pour plancher ou murs. Ce panneau est composé de 15 à 65% de particules de brin de scie avec une granulométrie de 4 à 60 mèches; de 25 à 75% de poudrettes ou autres dérivés du pétrole ou de caoutchouc recyclé avec une granulométrie de 4 à 30 mèches; et de 3 à 20% d'un liant à base de polyuréthane d'élastomère, les pourcentages étant exprimeés en poids par rapport au poids total du panneau. En pratique, le caoutchouc agit comme élément anti-vibration et le brin de scie agit comme élément absorbant l~énergie acoustique car ce type de fibre est évidé dans le centre, ce qui l ui donne un rôle d'absorption que la particule de caoutchouc n'a pas. Elle possède donc la capacité de réduire un impact.

Abstract: The invention relates to using the heat generated during thermal treatment of one or more glass sheets to melt solder. In one nonlimiting embodiment, a lead providing external access to an electrical conductive arrangement, e.g. a conductive member between and connected to spaced bus bars between laminated sheets has an end portion of a connector, e.g. a lead soldered to each of the bus bars during thermal processing of the sheets, e.g. during the lamination of the sheets during a windshield manufacturing process. In another nonlimiting embodiment, the connector is soldered to the electrically conductive arrangement during the annealing of glass blanks following the heating and shaping of the glass blanks. Soldering the leads during the annealing or laminating process eliminated possible thermal damage to the sheet by having the sheet heated during the soldering operation instead of only a small surface portion of the sheet at and eliminates the cost of a separated soldering operation.
