Abstract: A tampon having an absorbent structure and an apertured film cover thermally bonded to the absorbent structure is disclosed. The cover is bonded to the absorbent structure through a plurality of discrete spots arranged about the surface of the absorbent structure to provide a cumulative cover-to-absorbent bond. The cumulative cover-to-absorbent bond has a shear strength of at least about 3 N. The plurality of discrete thermally-bonded spots define a bonded area and the bonded spots and the unbonded portions between the spots define a bond region. Preferably, the bonded area covers about 5 % to about 30 % of the bond region. In addition, a sealing element for a sealing roller is disclosed. The sealing element is profiled with a sealing pattern defined by sealing knobs arranged at distances to each other that project from a base of the sealing element. Each sealing knob has a perimeter shaped to eliminate aggressive edges.

Abstract: A papermaking belt comprises a patterned framework and a reinforcing element.  The papermaking belt may be used as a through air drying belt, a forming wire, a backing wire, a conventional press felt, etc. The papermaking belt has a reinforcing element and a framework extending from the reinforcing element. Intermediate various portions of the framework are deflection conduits. The framework is interrupted and subdivided by synclines. The framework, synclines and deflection conduits respectively impart first, second and third values of intensive properties to regions of the paper made on these portions of the belt. The value of the intensive property of the regions of the paper corresponding to the synclines is intermediate the value of the regions of the paper corresponding to the framework and deflection conduits.  The present invention provides paper having improved softness, yet retains the advantages of paper manufactured with photosensitive resin through air drying belts.

Title: Method and apparatus for electromagnetic position and orientation tracking with distortion compensation
Inventor: KHALFIN IGOR
IPC: A61B5/06
Filed: 2000-10-31
Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for position/orientation tracking within a bounded volume employ at least one stationary sensor (112), called a "witness sensor", having a fixed position and orientation near or within the volume (104) to account for elec-tromagnetic distortion. One or more probe sensors (106) are placed on a n object (102) to be tracked within the volume (104), and the output of each witness sensor (112) is used to compute the parameters of a non-real effective electromagnetic source (122). The parameters of the effective source (122) are used as inputs to the computati on of position and orientation as measured by each probe sensor (106), as if the object (102) were in the non-distorted electromagnet ic field produced by the effective source or sources (122). In addition to trackers for helmet-mounted displays in aircraft, tank, and armored-vehicle applications, the invention finds utility in any electromagnetic tracking system which might be subject to electromagneti c distortion or interference. Such application areas include electromagnetic motion capture systems, and medical systems and instruments, among others.

Abstract: A transmitting/receiving apparatus and method for packet retransmission in a mobile communication system. Upon request for a retransmission from a receiver, a transmitter inverts initially transmitted coded bits if the retransmission is odd-numbered for the same data, modulates the inverted bits, and transmits the modulated bits to the receiver. Then the receiver recovers the coded bits by demodulation. If the coded bits are retransmitted an odd number of times, the receiver decodes the coded bits after inversion. Thus the error probabilities of initial transmission bits and retransmission bits are averaged in effect and decoding performance is improved.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a hardware ID with time- and weight-based flexibility use a hardware ID (HWID) including identifying information about hardware components. When software is run, a current HWID is generated. When the current HWID is compared to a stored HWID to determine if the two HWIDs match, a time vector and a weight vector are used in the comparison. A running matching score is kept of matches. For each hardware component, the weight vector indicates the weight given to a correct match of the hashed value for the hardware component. For example, if the weight value for the hardware component is three and there is a match, then the running total is increased by three. For each hardware component, the time vector may indicate an expiration period alter which a change in the component may be allowed. For example, if the expiration period for the component is one year, and one year has passed since activation, the running total maw be increased even though the component's information in the verification HWID does not match the current component information.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for converting a hierarchical data structure into a flat data structure based on a schema. The format of the hierarchical data structure may be XML. A hierarchical data structure conforming to a schema is loaded into an application program. The data structure includes elements and attributes linked together in a parent-child relationship. The schema defines the hierarchical relationships between the elements and attributes in the hierarchical data structure. After the hierarchical data structure conforming to the schema has been loaded, a plurality of layout rules is applied to the hierarchical data based on the schema to create a flat data structure. The layout rules determine how the hierarchical data will be inserted in the flat data structure. The layout rules may be applied by identifying properties in the schema which identify occurrence requirements for elements defined in the schema. After the layout rules have been applied to the hierarchical data, the hierarchical data is rendered into a spreadsheet by inserting the data in rows and columns.
