Patent AU-576212-B2 (AU)
Title: Hygienic pad, process and plant for the production thereof
Inventor: FRIESE AXEL
IPC: A61F13/20
Filed: 1984-12-14
Granted: 1988-08-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a tampon (10), to the essentially cylindrical circumferential surface of which a liquid-permeable, thermoplastic material is fastened, with the application of pressure and heat. The dome-like constriction (10b) at the introduction end (10a) and the withdrawal end (10c) of the tampon (10) remain free of the liquid-permeable, thermoplastic material. The fastening of the liquid-permeable material to the outer surface of the absorbent material of the tampon (10), which consists of a nonwoven ribbon section rolled up on itself and pressed radially to give the final form of the tampon (10), guarantees that the high absorbency of the nonwoven fibre material, based on capillary action, continues through the liquid-permeable, thermoplastic material onto its outside. In addition, the liquid-permeable material offers protection against fibres becoming detached and makes it easier to introduce the tampon into and remove it from the body cavity.

Title: Method and apparatus for packaging wire in a storage drum
Inventor: COOPER WILLIAM D
IPC: B23K9/133
Filed: 1999-12-16
Granted: 2001-07-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for densely packing wire (11) in a storage drum (62) is provided. A capstan (12) is provided for pulling welding wire (11) at a set rotational velocity. The welding wire (11) is then provided to a rotatable laying head (21) which receives the wire (11) from the capstan (12), and in turn rotates with a storage drum (62) placed on a rotatable turntable (54). As the welding wire (11) is placed within the turntable (54) in layers, the turntable (54) is indexed relative to the storage drum axis and the rotational velocity of the capstan (12) and laying head (21) is altered, which causes the welding wire (11) to be placed in a layer different from the first layer. This indexing is continued until the storage drum (62) is full, forming alternating bands of welding wire (11) to increase the packing density of the storage drum (62).

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP94/02250 Sec. 371 Date May 31, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date May 31, 1996 PCT Filed Jul. 8, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/08227 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 23, 1995In the case of coding a plurality of signals which are not independent of one another, a selection of the suitable type of coding is made as a function of a similarity measure. According to one aspect of the invention, the similarity measure is determined by firstly coding one of the signals according to the intensity-stereo method and then decoding it in order to create a signal affected by coding error, whereupon the latter signal and the associated non-coded signal are transformed into the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, a selection or evaluation of the actually audible spectral components, as well as of the signal affected by coding error and of the associated signal not affected by coding error, is undertaken using a listening threshold which is determined by a psycho-acoustic calculation. Intensity-stereo coding is undertaken in the case of a high similarity measure, whereas otherwise a separate coding of the channels is performed.

Title: Mosfet structure having reduced gate capacitance and method of forming same
Inventor: QUIGG FRED L
IPC: H01L29/10
Filed: 1991-01-22
Granted: 1993-09-09
Abstract: In one embodiment, a vertical MOSFET is formed having a lower gate portion (124) overlying the channel region of the MOSFET and separated from the channel region by a thin gate oxide layer (90). An upper gate portion (120) is formed overlying the drain of the MOSFET and separated from the drain by a relatively thick oxide layer (86). In this particular embodiment, since the dielectric thickness between the upper gate portion (120) and the drain (82) is relatively large, the MOSFET exhibits a lower gate-drain capacitance (CGD) value, while the threshold voltage of the MOSFET remains relatively unchanged. The upper gate portion (120) may be electrically connected to the lower gate portion (124) or may be electrically isolated from the lower gate portion (124). A preferred method of forming the resulting MOSFET having this lowered CGD allows the source (92) and body regions (88) to be precisely aligned with the drain edge of the lower gate portion (124).

Pressurized cool fluid, such as air, is directed across selected portions of the manifold discharge slit to deflect pressurized heated air away from the substrate. The manifold is provided with cool air outlets which direct the heated air to a position upstream of the path of movement of the substrate for preheating purposes. The apparatus is further arranged and configured to enhance the visibility of faults in the substrate. <IMAGE>

Title: Synthesis and use of compounds having negative retinoid hormone and/or antagonist activity
Inventor: KLEIN ELLIOTT S
IPC: C07D335/06
Filed: 1998-06-24
Granted: 2001-01-25
Abstract: Aryl-substituted and aryl and (3-oxo-1-propenyl)-substituted benzopyran, benzothiopyran, 1,2-dihydroquinoline, and 5,6-dihydronaphthalene derivatives have retinoid negative hormone and/or antagonist-like biological activities. The invented RAR antagonists can be administered to mammals, including humans, for the purpose of preventing or diminishing action of RAR agonists on the bound receptor sites. Specifically, the RAR agonists are administered or coadministered with retinoid drugs to prevent or ameliorate toxicity or side effects caused by retinoids or vitamin A or vitamin A precursors. The retinoid negative hormones can be used to potentiate the activities of other retinoids and nuclear receptor agonists. For example, the retinoid negative hormone called AGN 193109 effectively <CHEM> increased the effectiveness of other retinoids and steroid hormones in in vitro transactivation assays. Additionally, transactivation assays can be used to identify compounds having negative hormone activity. These assays are based on the ability of negative hormones to down-regulate the activity of chimeric retinoid receptors engineered to possess a constitutive transcription activator domain.
