Abstract: Polymeric composites are described that can be formed into articles of construction to replace similar articles formed of wood and concrete. The composites comprise a polymer component comprising polyolefins preferably obtained as waste or recycle; a rubbery polymeric component preferably obtained from disposed tires; and a reinforcing filler component comprising mica. The mica is preferably of the expanded variety to allow for a reduction in density over similar composites containing traditional mica. The evaporation of volatile compounds initially contained within the different components, primarily the rubbery polymeric component, allows for the production of articles of construction having a foamed inner core in which the foamed cell structure has not been achieved through the use of traditional CO2 generating foaming agents. Processes for forming the articles of construction are provided that include both extrusion and molding techniques.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une pince médicale (10) pour prélever des tissus sur les corps humains ou animaux, dont l'extrémité proche du patient est pourvue de deux mâchoires (22,24) pouvant se déplacer l'une par rapport à l'autre au moyen d'éléments de préhension situés du côté opposé au patient. Les mâchoires (22,24) possèdent des tranchants (92,94) qui coopèrent de façon coupante lorsque l'on ferme la pince. Un adaptateur (60) est fixé de façon amovible à au moins une des mâchoires (22,24). Cet adaptateur (60) possède une surface d'appui émoussée qui s'étend au moins sur une partie de l'une des mâchoires (24), à laquelle il peut être fixé. Lorsque l'adaptateur (60) est fixé et que les mâchoires (22,24) se ferment, cette surface d'appui vient s'appliquer en totalité sur l'autre mâchoire (22) de telle façon que les tranchants (92,94) ne coopèrent plus pour couper lorsque l'on ferme les mâchoires (22,24). Dans le cas d'une pince médicale dont les mâchoires se rapprochent sans couper, lorsqu'on la ferme, pour saisir des tissus, un adaptateur est fixé sur au moins une des mâchoires de façon amovible. Cet adaptateur possède un bord ou un tranchant qui, lorsque l'on ferme la pince, coopère, pour couper, avec un bord de l'autre mâchoire ou avec un tranchant d'un second adaptateur fixé de façon amovible à l'autre mâchoire.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for communicating location-related information to mobile communications subscribers. At least one information centre is provided by which means the mobile communications subscriber can communicate across the mobile communications network. Said mobile communications subscriber can establish a communication connection with the information centre by dialling a predetermined call number. According to a preferred configuration, the location-related information available in the mobile communications network is coded as a several-digit number via the base station momentarily supplying the mobile station, and attached to the call number selected by the mobile communications subscriber as an extension number. This extended call number is then used to switch through the connection to the information centre. The information centre is then able to communicate the location-related information to the mobile communications subscriber.

Abstract: A method automatically determines, controller parameters of a plurality of controllers for controlling a process controlled system that is composed of a plurality of coupled control systems. The controller parameters of the respective controllers are calculated from the measured responses or the individual control systems, being calculated by a computer for equivalent transfer functions that consider couplings between control systems in the, process controlled system. This occurs in an iterative method, in which a multi-dimensional, non-linear equation system is supplied step-by-step to an optimized solution A, a solution is individually calculated for each non-linear equation, that enters into the other equations. A different standard method for solving non-linear equation systems can also be utilized. A primary application is envisioned for: setting a furnace having a plurality of heating zones.

Abstract: In a method for checking the authenticity of a data medium, in particular a smart card, the encrypted form of a physical feature of the data medium is stored in the data medium. The encrypted form of the feature is transmitted to a terminal, which also measures the physical feature itself. The physical feature is encrypted using a secret key, and is decrypted in the terminal using a public key. Authenticity is confirmed if a comparison of the decrypted feature and the measured feature match. Since the secret key is not contained in either the data medium or the terminal, a high level of security is provided.

Abstract: A signal strength for a received signal such as a radio signal transmitted over a wireless network is determined based on a large number of sample measurements of the received signal which may be taken over disjoint time intervals. Each sample is digitized so as to take on one of a discrete number of values, for example, 256 possible values for an 8-bit converter. The number of occurrences for each of the values is accumulated in bins (counters) and the indication of signal strength is determined by a summation of the measured values based on processing of the counts rather than the sample measurements themselves. The signal strength measurements are provided as monotonically related values, more particularly, logarithmic magnitude representations of the measured signal strength of each sample measurement. Bin counts are reduced iteratively by replacing counts greater than 1 by incrementing the count of a proportionately higher value bin until only counts of 1 or zero remain. These counts are then combined to provide only a single counter with a non-zero count value which indicates the accumulated signal strength of the signal strength measurements. The invention may further be provided using single bit memory elements and byte processing with look-up tables to provide even more efficient processing of the logarithmic signal strength measurements to reduce power consumption for battery powered devices such as cellular radiotelephones.

Abstract: An absorbent article adapted to be worn about the lower torso of a wearer. The article includes a liquid-impervious, flexible backsheet adapted to face outwardly relative to the body a wearer, a liquid-pervious topsheet adapted to face the body of the wearer, and an absorbent core positioned between the backsheet and the topsheet. The topsheet is elastically extensible and includes a plurality of slits or cuts that extend through the topsheet material and that enlarge to define a plurality of openings in the topsheet when it is subjected to tensile forces as it is worn. The openings permit solid and semi-solid bodily exudates to pass through the topsheet to the absorbent core as the diaper is worn. Upon removal of the diaper from the body of the wearer the tensile forces within the topsheet are relaxed, thereby causing the openings in the topsheet to close and substantially conceal from view the bodily exudates that had passed through the topsheet.
