Inventor: COSSEC THIERRY VINCENT MARIE
IPC: A47D15/00
Filed: 1999-04-12
Abstract: L'invention est un dispositif de siège équipé d'une anse pour le positionnement d'un nourrisson et son alimentation autonome à l'aide d'un biberon à mouvement pendulaire réglable. Le dispositif convient aux prématurés et nouveaux nés. Pour sa mise en oeuvre, le dispositif comporte, Figure 1 planche l, un siège E, une anse ou potence A, une suspente ou lien C, une bague élastique B, un anneau élastique D. La suspente C est maintenue sur l'anse A à l'aide de la bague élastique B, un biberon de bonne section, est enfilé dans la boucle élastique D. La hauteur et l'inclinaison du biberon sont données par une rotation de la bague élastique B et un enroulement de la suspente C autour de l'anse A . La succion est aidée par le mouvement pendulaire du biberon qui produit un effet d'autostimulation, en fin de prise le dégagement du biberon est automatique , la suspente initialement torsadée se déroule à plat et produit une rotation du biberon à 120.degree. de sa position initiale. Outre une amélioration très significative des quantité assimilées à chaque prise, l'invention permet à une seule personne d'alimenter en toute sécurité plus de cinq nourrissons simultanément. Le dispositif permet également, aux personnes dont le handicap ou la somnolence ne permettent pas le port des nourrissons dans les bras, d'alimenter en toute sécurité un nouveau né.

Filed: 1999-05-26
Abstract: A metallic article (30) comprises a bond coating (34) on the metallic article (30) and a ceramic thermal barrier coating (38) on the bond coating (34). The ceramic thermal barrier coating (38) comprises a plurality of columnar grains (40) extending substantially perpendicularly to the surface of the metallic article (30). The ceramic thermal barrier coating (38) has an inner portion (44), a transition portion (46) and an outer portion (48). Each columnar grain (40) has a substantially constant cross-sectional area throughout its length in the outer portion (48), has smooth surfaces and there are distinct uniform gaps (42) between columnar grains to minimise the stress/strain in the columnar grains (40) and/or to minimise the stress/strain between adjacent columnar grains (40) and thereby increases the resistance to spallation of the ceramic thermal barrier coating.      The columnar grains (40) are produced by controlling the evaporation rate of the ceramic, the temperature and speed of rotation of the article (30).

Title: Distributed client/server computer network
Inventor: RYAN ANDREW EDWARD
IPC: G06F21/36
Filed: 1999-06-14
Abstract: A distributed client/server computer network wherein the identity of at least one complex image, selected from a plurality of complex images stored by a client, is transmitted to a remote server. The remote server then determines, from the identity of the or each image selected, whether the client is authorised to gain access, via the server, to a particular network resource. The network is thus efficient, as the complex images themselves do not need to be transmitted from the client to the server, and secure, as no authorisation information is stored by the client.

Title: Biaxially oriented fluoropolymer films
Inventor: TSAI MINGLIANG LAWRENCE
IPC: B32B27/08
Filed: 1997-12-02
Abstract: The present invention provides biaxially oriented multilayer fluoropolymer films. They are produced by coextruding or laminating films having at least one layer of a fluoropolymer, at least one layer of a thermoplastic homopolymer or copolymer and an intermediate adhesive layer which is preferably a polyolefin having at least one functional moiety of an unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof. With this structure the thermoplastic layer allows the fluoropolymer layer to be biaxially stretched many times its original length. A high orientation ratio for the fluoropolymer film increases the mechanical strength, toughness, and water vapor barrier properties of the film while using a thinner gauge fluoropolymer film. Coextrusion processing can be done at higher temperatures, i.e. in the range of from at about 280 °C to about 400 °C. These temperatures allow films to be produced in the absence of polymer degradation and film melt fracture.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for obtaining NMR measurements are disclosed. An NMR measurement apparatus, the measured sample, or both elements may be subjected to motion during the measurement. The envelope of an RF carrier signal is modulated according to an envelope to generate a first sequence of RF pulses. The envelope, the phase of the RF signal, and/or a static magnetic field may be varied during the radiation of the first sequence to substantially saturate a first region of the sample.  The first sequence may include additional RF refocusing pulses that, when coupled with movement of the NMR measurement apparatus or sample, may also be used to substantially saturate the first region. A second sequence of RF pulses is radiated to establish a resonance region within the first region and measure an attribute of the sample.
