Title: Ensemble soupape a fluide magnetorheologique a deux voies et dispositifs utilisant cet ensemble
Inventor: IVERS DOUGLAS E

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble soupape réglable (18), pouvant être utilisé dans des dispositifs à fluide magnétorhéologique (MR) (20), tels que des organes internes MR et des amortisseurs MR. Cet ensemble soupape (18) comprend un corps de soupape (32), qui renferme un circuit magnétique (40) contenant du flux magnétique ζ, un canal de passage réglable (42) situé à l'intérieur dudit circuit magnétique (40), un fluide MR (à commande magnétique) (44) comportant des particules faiblement magnétiques dans un vecteur liquide circulant dans ledit canal de passage réglable (42), un générateur de flux magnétique, par exemple une bobine à fil bobiné (46), qui génère du flux magnétique ζ, lequel est ensuite orienté à travers ledit fluide MR (44) à l'intérieur dudit canal de passage réglable (42), produisant ainsi des changements 'rhéologiques', qui provoquent un étranglement de l'écoulement de fluide MR (44) dans ledit passage. Dans un aspect de cette invention, un clapet de non-retour (34) coopère avec un canal de passage passif (36), ce canal étant placé parallèlement au canal de passage réglable (42); ledit clapet permet un amortissement 'asymétrique' sur ladite soupape réglable (18), ce qui engendre une surpression élevée dans une première direction, et une surpression faible dans une seconde direction, sans 'commuter rapidement' le courant vers la bobine (46). Dans un autre aspect de l'invention, c'est un 'espace variable' qui permet ledit amortissement 'asymétrique', cet espace étant formé par une paroi amovible du canal de passage réglable (42). Dans un troisième aspect de l'invention, un premier canal de passage réglable permet de réguler l'écoulement dans une première direction, tandis qu'un second canal de passage réglable permet de réguler l'écoulement dans une seconde direction, ce qui permet l''asymétrie'. Dans un dernier aspect, c'est un 'court-circuit magnétique variable' qui engendre cette 'asymétrie', ce court-circuit modifiant la réluctance de circuit magnétique dépendant de la direction de l'écoulement.

Abstract: A speech recognition system has vocabulary word models having for each word model state both a discrete probability distribution function and a continuous probability distribution function. Word models are initially aligned with an input utterance using the discrete probability distribution functions, and an initial matching performed. From well scoring word models, a ranked scoring of those models is generated using the respective continuous probability distribution functions. After each utterance, preselected continuous probability distribution function parameters are discriminatively adjusted to increase the difference in scoring between the best scoring and the next ranking models.In the event a user subsequently corrects a prior recognition event by selecting a different word model from that generated by the recognition system, a re-adjustment of the continuous probability distribution function parameters is performed by adjusting the current state of the parameters opposite to the adjustment performed with the original recognition event, and adjusting the current parameters to that which would have been performed if the user correction associated word had been the best scoring model.

Abstract: Disclosed is a packaged antiperspirant cream composition comprising a gellant, a liquid carrier, an antiperspirant active, and a dispensing package which contains the antiperspirant cream composition. The packaged antiperspirant cream compositions have improved stability, application aesthetics, and reduced syneresis. The dispensing package comprises: 1) a container body having an interior chamber of generally uniform or symmetrical cross section which contains the antiperspirant cream composition and has a lengthwise extending axis, 2) an elevator having a cross section congruent to and mounted for axial movement within the interior chamber, 3) a perforated, convex dome attached to a dispensing end of the container body and having a plurality of openings extending through the thickness of the perforated dome, 4) a means for axially advancing the elevator toward the perforated dome; and 5) an optional means for axially reciprocating the elevator away from the convex dome, wherein the means for axially advancing the elevator and the optional means for axially reciprocating the elevator cooperate to reciprocate the elevator a minimum distance Dmin. The dispensing package preferably has a select container body rigidity, a select convex configuration for the perforated dome and supporting elevator, and/or other means for reducing residual internal pressure, all of which help to minimize the development of solvent syneresis from the antiperspirant cream composition.

Abstract: A database having fixed length records stored together in record number order and an index structure for the database. The index structure comprises a separate index for each searchable field of the records. For purposes of indexing, the records are logically divided into fine slices of 8,000 records each, and the fine slices are grouped into coarse slices of 4,000 fine slices each. The indexes include fine and coarse keys, each of which corresponds to a particular data value and a particular fine or coarse slice. Associated with each key is a link that is used to determine which records contain the data value. For the fine keys, the link includes a pointer to a bit vector that has a single bit for each of the records within the fine slice associated with the key. For the coarse keys, the link includes a pointer to a bit vector that has a single bit for each of the fine slices contained in the coarse slice. The coarse bit vector comprises two bit vectors, one that identifies which of the fine slices within the coarse slice contains any records having the data value and one that identifies which fine slices, if any, contain the data value in every one of its records. The keys are stored in a B-tree in order of a unique key value so that they are processed in record number order and the resulting list of records for any query is generated in record number order. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An anhydrous lotion composition for killing viruses and bacteria in addition to imparting a soft, lubricious, lotion-like feel when applied to tissue paper and tissue paper treated with such lotion compositions are disclosed. The antiviral action of the lotion is due to the addition of an organic acid such as citric acid or salicylic acid. The antibacterial action is due to the addition of antibacterial agents such as TRICLOSAN®. The solubilization of the antiviral and antibacterial agents within the lotion matrix is aided by the addition of hydrophilic solvents and hydrophilic surfactants. The lubricious lotions also contain a plastic or fluid skin conditioning agent such as petrolatum, an optional immobilizing agent such as a fatty alcohol or fatty acid to immobilize the skin conditioning agent on the surface of the tissue paper web and a hydrophilic surfactant to improve wettability when applied to toilet tissue. Because less lotion is required to impart the desired soft, lotion-like feel benefits, detrimental effects on the tensile strength and caliper of the lotioned paper are minimized or avoided. The anhydrous nature of the lotions also aids in the maintenance of such physical properties as tensile and caliper.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a dry cleaning system and method, in which dry cleaning machinery is used in conjunction with a specific solvent which is derived from an organic/inorganic hybrid (organo silicone). In this class of organo silicones is a group known as cyclic siloxanes. Such cyclic-siloxane-based solvent allows the system to result in an environmentally friendly process which is, also, more effective in cleaning fabrics and the like than any known prior system. The siloxane composition is employed in a dry cleaning machine to carry out the method of the invention. In order to enhance the cleaning capabilities of the cyclic-siloxane-based solvent, such solvent is modified with a chemical that is selected from the group of chemicals including 2-ethylhexyl acetate, esters, alchohols, and ethers. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the steps of loading articles into a cleaning basket; agitating the articles and the modified siloxane composition in which they are immersed; removing most of the modified siloxane composition; centrifuging the articles; and removing the articles from the basket after cooling the articles.
