Title: Three dimensional animation system and method
Inventor: HARVILL YOUNG
IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 2000-03-30
Granted: 2006-06-27
Abstract: A system and method for three dimensional character animation provides a rapid download of the animated character since the persistent data of the animated character may be downloaded initially to begin the animation. One or more behavior files may then be downloaded as needed which reduces the initial download time of a character. The system may store the persistent data in a character cache. To reduce the size of the behavior files, the persistent data may include morphlinks, for each polygon on the character, that determine the contributions that the movement of each joint in the character make on each polygon of the character.

Granted: 2004-11-02
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un dispositif absorbant destiné à une utilisation interlabiale par des femmes, pour se protéger contre les règles, l'incontinence ou les deux. Ce procédé consiste au moins partiellement à enfermer un segment continu d'un matériau absorbant dans un matériau de revêtement. Le matériau de revêtement est placé de manière à se trouver de part et d'autre du segment de matériau absorbant. Le matériau absorbant est ensuite, éventuellement, formé de manière que, sur sa longueur, de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal du matériau absorbant, certaines zones soient en alternance plus épaisses que d'autres. Dans un mode de réalisation, cette forme est donnée par liaison d'une première partie du matériau de revêtement à une seconde partie du matériau de revêtement du côté opposé du matériau absorbant, de sorte que cette liaison se fasse à travers le matériau absorbant. On effectue des coupes sensiblement transversales sur la longueur du matériau absorbant, orientées de façon alternante sur toute la longueur du matériau absorbant de façon à pourvoir le dispositif d'extrémités formées. Ce procédé permet de produire plusieurs dispositifs interlabiaux présentant une forme asymétrique sur un axe longitudinal et des extrémités formées, avec un minimum de chutes.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un lecteur et/ou enregistreur de données portable comportant un couvercle (2) qui peut être facilement monté sur le boîtier (1) du lecteur de disque, ou démonté, par un utilisateur. Dans ce but, ledit couvercle (2) est muni de pattes de fixation (16, 17) qui, lorsque le couvercle est grand ouvert et forme un angle avec le boîtier, peuvent coulisser dans une première direction le long de charnières (7, 8) du boîtier (1) jusqu'à une position d'aboutement. En position d'ouverture, une rainure (18) du couvercle (2) est en position d'aboutement avec un épaulement (11) du boîtier (1), ce qui empêche le couvercle (2) de se désolidariser du boîtier (1). Le couvercle peut être désolidarisé du boîtier (1) lorsqu'il est grand ouvert. Aucun épaulement n'empêche alors le coulissement des pattes de fixation du couvercle dans une seconde direction, opposée à la première direction, le long des charnières (7, 8) du boîtier. L'invention rend également possible le remplacement du couvercle sans aucun outil, de sorte qu'un utilisateur peut choisir la couleur du couvercle en fonction de son goût du moment.

Title: A direct smelting process
Inventor: MCCARTHY CAROLYN ANNE
IPC: F27B19/02
Filed: 1999-09-03
Granted: 2010-02-23
Abstract: A direct smelting process for producing metal from a metalliferous feed material is disclosed. The direct smelting process is a molten bath-based process in which smelting occurs predominantly in the metal layer, carrier gas/metalliferous feed material/solid carbonaceous material are injected into the metal layer via lances/tuyeres, and oxygen-containing gas is injected into the top space above the molten bath and post-combusts reaction gases released from the bath. The injection of metalliferous feed material and solid carbonaceous material causes molten material to be projected from the molten bath as splashes, droplets and streams and to form a transition zone. The process is characterised by forming a pipe of a solid material on an outlet end of at least one lance/tuyere while injecting the metalliferous feed material and the carbonaceous material through the lances/tuyeres and thereby extending the effective length of the lance/tuyere or the lances/tuyeres.
