Abstract: On décrit une composition de désencrage poisseuse, en caoutchouc mixte, contenant un adhésif autocollant thermofusible, ainsi qu'un procédé amélioré pour éliminer des encres ou autres contaminants de papier imprimé récupéré. Une composition de désencrage préférée contient un mélange de caoutchouc de butadiène-styrène et de caoutchouc de styrène-isoprène, rendu poisseux à l'aide d'au moins un agent poissant en résine d'hydrocarbure et d'au moins un agent poissant à base de colophane. Dans un processus amélioré de désencrage ou de recyclage, la nouvelle composition est ajoutée à un coulis de papier soit directement soit sous forme de papier enduit d'un adhésif autocollant thermofusible ou d'un film pour étiquettes, ce qui réduit considérablement le nombre de contaminants subsistant après criblage et nettoyage avant.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an improved method and apparatus, associated with a self-piercing valve assembly for mounting the self-piercing valve on a pipe and for constraining movement of the valve on the pipe. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a self-piercing valve assembly comprises a clamping assembly and a crimping member associated with the clamping assembly, which crimping member "automatically" crimps a pipe and forms a recess therein when the self-piercing valve clamping assembly is tightened about the pipe, and simultaneously effects a crimping member/recess interface (much like a key-and-keyway interface) which inhibits relative angular rotation between the pipe and valve. The crimping member is, preferably, a rigid, projection or tab.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un système de rétablissement d'un contexte d'abonné dans un élément d'un réseau de communication mobile. Selon ledit procédé, un nouveau contexte d'abonné qui a été mis à jour après la dernière relance est indiqué au moyen de la transmission d'informations de relance correspondantes à l'élément du réseau. Sur la base de ces informations relatives à la relance, l'élément de réseau continue à utiliser les nouveaux contextes d'abonné mis à jour après la dernière relance et inactive les anciens contextes d'abonnés mis à jour avant la dernière relance. Il est ainsi possible de réduire le nombre de réactivations de contextes d'abonnés non nécessaires ainsi que le temps d'indisponibilité correspondant du service. En outre, ceci permet de réduire la quantité de signalisation requise après la relance, étant donné que les contextes d'abonnés doivent être rétablis en nombre réduit.

The work stage assembly is adapted a) for supporting a workpiece, b) for translating along a first axis, c) for translating along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and d) for rotating about a third axis perpendicular to both the first axis and the second axis. The work stage assembly has a work stage axis substantially parallel to the third axis. The first particle beam source for interacting with the workpiece is supported by the work stage assembly. The first particle beam source has a first particle beam axis. In one embodiment, the first particle beam source is oriented so that the first particle beam axis forms an angle with the third axis. In another embodiment, the first particle beam source is tiltable from a first position, with the first particle beam axis substantially parallel to the third axis, to a second position, with the first particle beam axis forming an angle with the third axis. Thus, the particle beam system can etch and image a vertical cross-section of the workpiece without offsetting the work stage axis from the third axis.

Abstract: A curvilinear peristaltic pump for facilitating the pumping of a liquid through a length of resilient tubing. The pump comprises a housing having a platen member attached thereto and a rotatable cam disposed therewithin. Also disposed within the housing is a drive unit of the pump which is mechanically coupled to the cam such that the activation of the drive unit results in the concurrent rotation of the cam in a first direction and the deactivation of the drive unit maintains the cam in a set position. Movably attached to the housing are a plurality of pump fingers of the pump, each of which has a first end which is cooperatively engaged to the cam and a second end which is disposed in spaced relation to the platen member. The cam is configured to sequentially move the pump fingers radially outwardly toward and inwardly away from the platen member when rotated in the first direction by the drive unit. A portion of the tubing may be extended between the platen member and the second ends of the pump fingers such that the sequential movement of the pump fingers toward and away from the platen member results in liquid within the tubing being pumped in the first direction of rotation of the cam. The pump is used in conjunction with a disposable tubing assembly which is provided with a shut-off valve to selectively obstruct the flow of liquid through the tubing assembly.
