Title: Procede de liaison d'additifs chimiques sur des substrats comprenant des materiaux cellulosiques et produits correspondants
Inventor: SHANNON THOMAS G
IPC: D21H11/20
Filed: 2003-10-09
Abstract: L'invention concerne des articles contenant des matériaux de cellulose et traités avec un additif chimique. Selon la présente invention, au moins une partie de la cellulose contenant l'article est modifiée pour inclure une première entité. On choisit alors un additif chimique, tel qu'un ramollissant ou un agent mouillant, qui comprend une seconde entité. Quand l'additif chimique est appliqué à l'article, la seconde entité forme sur l'additif chimique une liaison chimique avec la première entité sur le matériau cellulosique. De cette manière, l'additif chimique devient collé au matériau cellulosique empêchant les problèmes dus à la rétention. Dans un mode de réalisation, la présente invention est dirigée vers la formation de produits de tissu, tels que le tissu facial, le tissu de bain et les serviettes de papier.

Abstract: When an overload condition is determined to exist at a base station in a
wireless communications system based on the number of unsuccessful access
attempts to access the system relative to the successful access attempts to
access the system, the base station broadcasts a message to each mobile
terminal within its coverage area that changes at least one access probe-related
parameter associated with at least one of: the number, the frequency, and the
power intensity of the access probes made by these mobile terminals as they
attempt to establish access to the wireless network. By so limiting these access
probes in some manner when an overload condition is present, the interference
caused on the reverse link by many mobile terminals attempting access is
reduced.
