Inventor: MOEHN DAVID M
IPC: B24B49/16
Filed: 2007-09-05
Abstract: The method of the invention provides a capability for accurately and uniformly determining the sizes of bores of workpieces, both pre- and post-process, to improve process control, particularly compensation for tool or stone wear and other factors, and process data collection. The present method makes all required bore measurements, including those in both the workpiece bore and the calibration ring or sample workpiece bore, with the honing tool, under controlled static, non-honing conditions, including expanding the tool in the bores in a predetermined manner, such as at a predetermined rate. The method of the invention has utility for honing multiple workpieces to a finished size with a single tool, and also for multiple spindle applications.

Abstract: By employing an intelligent search order, a user equipment in a mobile communication system can shorten the time needed to find a cell/public land mobile network. After a first cell has been found, the equipment can determine which frequencies it will be worthwhile to search when another search is needed for a second cell. The equipment can thus avoid wasting time searching for cells in frequencies of a radio access technology that may not be valid when cells can be found in a most recently used group of frequencies of another radio access technology.

Title: Papermaking additive comprising a cationic copolymer and a filler
Inventor: ITO MASAKI
IPC: D21H17/69
Filed: 2008-01-16
Abstract: Suitability for sizing is effectively imparted to paper while reducing the amounts of an internal sizing agent and aluminum sulfate to be used. An additive for papermaking is provided which is a mixture (pretreated filler) of a filler and either a cationic copolymer having hydrophobic groups having a degree of quaternization of 40 mol% or higher or an amphipathic copolymer having hydrophobic groups which have the same degree of quaternization and in which the proportion of the anion equivalent to the cation equivalent is 0.1-90%. This pretreated filler is one comprising a filler having moderate water repellency imparted thereto. When this pretreated filler is added to a pulp slurry and paper is formed therefrom by a wet process, the pretreated filler can be efficiently adsorbed onto pulp fibers anionically charged. Thus, suitability for sizing can be effectively imparted to the paper, while reducing the amounts of an internal sizing agent and aluminum sulfate to be used. A reduction in sizing agent amount can hence be attained.
