Patent CA-2187300-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMPSON HUGH ANSLEY
IPC: A61F5/44
Filed: 1995-04-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a resilient fluid transporting network suitable for use in absorbent articles. The fluid transport network includes a plurality of bicomponent capillary channel fibers capable of intra-fiber fluid transport. The fibers have a base portion and at least two walls extending from the base portion to form an external capillary channel. The walls and the base portion are made of a first polymeric material which has a first melting point temperature. The distal ends of the capillary channel walls are made of a second polymeric material which has a second melting point temperature lower than the first melting point temperature. When heat is applied to the bicomponent fibers at a temperature below the first melting point temperature and above the second melting point temperature the bicomponent fibers bond together at their distal ends to form an interconnected network of capillary channel fibers capable of inter-fiber fluid transfer between the capillary channels of the bonded capillary channel fibers.

Title: Computer-based method for the fair division of property
Inventor: BRAMS STEVEN J
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1997-04-30
Abstract: Two methods, "Adjusted Winner (AW)" and "Proportional Allocation (PA)," are provided for the fair division of a collection of items, which could be either real goods or issues in a dispute, between two claimants (parties).  The methods can be implemented as a digital computer software program.  In both methods, the parties are each given 100 points and then bid on each item using their points.  Under the AW method, which is applicable to indivisible items, each party is initially allocated those goods, or wins on those issues, for which it bids the higher number of points.  Then the goods or issues are reassigned, or resolved differently, to achieve equality of points based on the quotients of the parties' bids.  Under PA, each good or issue is divided according to a ratio based on both parties' bids for that good or issue.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé qui permettent d'inverser la surface d'une pluralité de lentilles de contact entre différentes étapes du processus de traitement applicables aux surfaces opposées concave et convexe des lentilles. On place d'abord les lentilles de contact, face convexe tournée vers le haut, sur un support de lentilles perforé en vue d'un traitement de la surface convexe selon une première étape du processus. Le support est ensuite amené sur une veine d'air allongée qui le traverse par ses perforations, jusqu'à heurter le fond du support et, ce faisant, inverser la position de la surface des lentilles: après la face convexe, c'est désormais la face concave qui est tournée vers le haut, d'où la possibilité de traiter cette surface dans une phase ultérieure du processus.
