Abstract: Each boring (shaft-sinking) pipe (1) includes:   - a metal inner tube (9), especially one made of cast iron, including a flared adapter bell (15) having a certain depth (27), and a smooth end (7) intended to be fitted over a certain length (26) into the adapter bell (15) of an adjacent pipe, and - a cylindrical lining (11, 13) of the said inner tube (9), surrounding the said inner tube (9) over a part of its length away from its smooth end (7).   During boring, the length (26) of the smooth end (7) fitted in is less than the said depth (27), the axial thrust being transmitted from the end edge of the bell (15) to the lining (11, 13) without axial contact between the inner tubes (9) of the adjacent pipes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a resilient, three-dimensional, macroscopically expanded, fluid-pervious, plastic web suitable for use as a topsheet on absorbent articles, especially catamenial articles. The web includes a first layer of polymeric material and a second layer of fibrous material secured to the inner surface of the first layer of polymeric material. The fibrous material of the intermediate layer extends below the second surface of the web, preferably into the absorbent core. In-use, fluid deposited on the topsheet drains or empties more readily as the fibrous material of the second layer breaks up the fluid meniscuses which form along the second surface of the web, thereby providing improved dryness and cleanliness for the user.

Abstract: A control system/method for an at least partially automated mechanical transmission system (10), including a controller (106) operated engine brake (EB), is provided. The control system/method is effective to determine if selected upshifts into a target gear ratio are feasible (212, 214) or not feasible (216) under current vehicle operating conditions and to prohibit the initiation of not feasible selected upshifts. The transmission system includes an engine brake actuator (23A) operable by the system controller (106). Selected upshifts are evaluated and will be implemented, if feasible, in a sequence wherein feasibility is a function of engine deceleration (dES/dt), and engine deceleration is assigned expected values at minimum to progressively greater engine braking. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Preamplifying circuitry amplifies sound signals for input into a computer system. A first stage common-emitter amplifier provides high-gain amplification of the input signal, while a second stage amplifier comprising an operational amplifier is suitable for driving a cable with the amplified sound signal. A low-cost constant voltage source comprising a diode and an operational amplifier supplies a voltage reference to both amplifier stages with a very high rejection of system noise. The circuitry and methods of the present invention provide a low-cost, easily manufactured preamplifier suitable for sound input in desktop computing devices.

Abstract: Either (i) flexible resin impregnated lining tube (36) or (ii) a thermoplastic lining tube is placed in a pipeline or passageway to be lined. An apparatus (44) which emits radially directed microwave energy is passed through the lining tube (36) and as it does the radial energy is caused to rotate circumferentially to ensure thay the energy falls evenly on the lining tube. In case (i) the energy causes curing of the resin, so that a rigid lining pipe is formed on the pipeline or passageway, whilst in case (ii) the energy softens the tube enabling it to be expanded onto the pipeline or passageway surface.

Abstract: A pulse oximeter sensor (410) with a light source optimized for low oxygen saturation ranges and for maximizing the immunity to perturbation induced artifact. Preferably, a red (112) and an infrared light source (114) are used, with the red light source (112) having a mean wavelength between 700-790 nm. The infrared light source (114) can have a mean wavelength as in prior art devices used on patients with high saturation. The sensor of the present invention is further optimized by arranging the spacing between the light emitter (112,114) and light detectors (116) to minimize the sensitivity to perturbation induced artifact. The present invention optimizes the chosen wavelengths to achieve a closer matching of the absorption and scattering coefficient products for the red and IR light sources. This optimization gives robust readings in the presence of perturbation artifacts including force variations, tissue variations and variations in the oxygen saturation itself. <IMAGE>
