Abstract: The structured foam wallpaper material has an embossed surface, using a web of closed-cell foamed polystyrene, polyolefin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or a polyester, with an adhesive layer and a paper web. The water absorbency of the compound material is at least 0.15 ml/g in 10 mins. Also claimed is a mfg. process where the foam web is mechanically trimmed by 0.15-7.25% directly before bonding to the paper web. The extruded adhesive film (9) is applied to the paper web which is passed directly through a roller gap together with the foam web. On subsequent embossing, both surfaces of the compound material are structured, and the foam web thickness is reduced by 10-90%. Pref. on water absorption, the paper web takes up 99.5-80% and the embossed foam layer takes up 0.5-20% of the absorbed water. The paper web is an unglued paper with at least 30 vol% of open pores of the total paper vol. The paper weight is 50-150 g/m<2>. The embossed foam layer (15) has a differing thickness of 0.1-1.2 mm, with a compressed skin (16) near the foam surface (12) with torn cell walls (17). After the centre, the cell structure (18) is coarser and opened out against the non-embossed foam web. It has an even fine cell structure (19) in the zone near the thermoplastic adhesive film (9).

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided that significantly reduces the inconvenience of placing a computer system in a useful state. The invention quickly boots the system without preinstalling the operating system and allows installation of the operating system to occur without usurping the computer's resources from a user. A full version of the operating system is made accessible to the user by a boot device having sufficient capacity to hold the full operating system. A local media of the computer system is formatted so that the operating system may perform memory management functions, such as paging and swapping, if necessary. Consequently, the system is usable without requiring preinstallation of the operating system. The files relating to the operating system may be transferred from a boot device to a local media at a more convenient time, or performed as a concurrent or background process.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a variable attenuator which can be produced at a low cost and can suppress production of unnecessary resonance and propagation. When the radio frequency resistance values of PIN diodes 13 and 14 are higher than a characteristic resistance value of a signal line interconnecting radio frequency signal input terminal 1 and radio frequency signal output terminal 2, the sum of voltages applied to PIN diode 11 and PIN diode 13 and the sum of voltages applied to PIN diode 12 and PIN diode 14, that is, V3, are controlled so as to be fixed. But when the radio frequency resistance values of PIN diodes 13 and 14 are lower than the characteristic resistance value of the signal line, the currents to flow through PIN diodes 13 and 14 are fixed to such values with which the radio frequency resistance values and the characteristic resistance value of the signal line are equal to each other while only the currents to flow through PIN diodes 11 and 12 are controlled to vary the attenuation amount.

Abstract: The present invention provides an endoluminal prosthesis for deployment in a body lumen of a patient body, the prosthesis comprising a tubular fabric linen and a radially expandable frame supporting the liner. A plurality of imageable bodies are attached to the liner, the imageable bodies providing a sharp contrast so as to define a pattern which indicates the prosthesis position when the prosthesis is imaged within the patient body. Preferably, each imageable body comprises a plate having first and second opposed major surfaces and a passage therebetween to facilitate stitching the imageable body to the liner. Advantageously, the imageable bodies can be aligned with the openings of a perforate frame structure so that at least some of the imageable bodies are visible through associated openings, but need not actually be attached to the frame directly. Such imageable bodies are clearly visible when the prosthesis is deployed, and can also be sized to produce distinct images even when the frame is compressed within a delivery catheter, but will not interfere with the radial expansion of the frame during deployment.
