Patent CA-2562822-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NI YONGHAO
IPC: D21H27/10
Filed: 2006-10-06
Abstract: The present invention provides electrically conductive paper composites prepared from cellulose fibers modified to bind a conducting polymer to a surface of the cellulose fibers and mixing these with unmodified cellulose fibers and forming paper products from the composite. Conducting paper composites so formed were investigated for their conductivity and strength properties as a function of monomer dosage or percentage of modified fibers in the mixture and for the composites it was found that less monomer (i.e. conductive polymer) was needed to achieve the same conductivity obtained from conducting paper made from only the modified cellulose. A higher tensile strength was obtained with the composite conducting paper than was attained with conducting paper made from only the modified cellulose.

IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: The invention is directed to a process, an apparatus and a program for selecting objects in a PLM database containing modeled objects. The process comprises displaying (step 620) in a graphical user interface a view of a set of objectsof the database. Said view is a non-associative view, that is, the graphical elements of said view are not partitioned according to the individual objects of the set, from the system standpoint. In this respect, the process may comprise, prior to the step of displaying, aggregating (step 610) representations of respective objects of the set of objects to form the displayed view. The view is thereby rendered more rapidly. Then, upon definition (step 630) of a volume by the user, it is determined (steps 640 - 650) the objects intersecting said volume in the non-associative view. The process comprises searching the database and identifying to the user objects according to the intersection. Use is for example made of bounding boxes, stored in the PLM database (step 600). Hence, the proposed solution allows a user to rapidly display a view of the set of objects while allowing for selecting objects in the view, without the need for loading the complete and exact representations of all the objects of the view when the user is looking for particular objects to work on.
