The flange (1) comprises a grip region (3) that extends from one side of the hollow chamber (C) beyond the sealing zone (2) and is covered by a corresponding grip region (4) of the cover layer (D) but is not sealed thereto. The hollow chamber (C) comprises a dish-shaped main chamber and, adjoining the side of that main chamber, a secondary chamber in the shape of a channel tapering on all sides away from the main chamber, the main chamber making a smooth transition into the secondary chamber, and the main chamber and the secondary chamber together having a drop-shaped contour (14) in the plane of the flange (1), the tip of which contour is directed towards the grip region (3) of the flange (1). Provided in the grip region (3) of the flange (1) is an oval opening (15) by means of which the overlying grip region (4) of the cover layer (D) can be lifted from the flange. A support element (16) that is angled with respect to the plane of the flange (1) is arranged in the grip region (3) of the flange (1). An angled grip element (18, 19) for facilitating the handling of the blister pack is arranged at the edge of the flange (1) on both sides of the hollow chamber (C). The base portion (B) is so shaped that the blister packs can be nested in pairs with their undersides one inside the other, in each case the hollow chamber (C) of one blister pack lying in the region of the grip region (3) of the other blister pack. The blister pack is extremely handy, space-saving and stable, requires only an extremely small amount of preserving solution and enables the contact lens it contains to be removed especially easily.

Title: Methode et dispositif de commande de la puissance d'emission pour les communications mobiles utilisant un systeme amdc (acces multiple par difference de code)
Inventor: DOHI TOMOHIRO
IPC: H04W52/00
Filed: 1995-05-17
Abstract: Méthode permettant de commander la puissance d'émission de radiocommunications dans un système AMDC (CDMA). La puissance d'émission d'un premier signal émis par une première station est déterminée au moyen d'un signal de commande de puissance d'émission contenu dans un deuxième signal émis par une deuxième station. La première station reçoit sous la forme de codes à convolution le deuxième signal émis et le décode au moyen d'un premier et d'un deuxième décodeurs de Viterbi. Le premier décodeur de Viterbi comprend une mémoire de trajet indiquant les données historiques associées à une première longueur de trajet prédéterminée, et le deuxième décodeur de Viterbi comprend une mémoire de trajet indiquant les données historiques associées à une deuxième longueur de trajet  prédéterminée, plus courte que la première. Le signal de commande de puissance d'émission contenu dans le deuxième signal émis est extrait de la sortie du deuxième décodeur de Viterbi, tandis que les autres éléments d'information proviennent de la sortie du premier décodeur de Viterbi. La première station commande la puissance d'émission du premier signal émis, en fonction du signal de commande de puissance d'émission extrait. On peut ainsi obtenir une commande de puissance d'émission rapide et très précise.

Title: Ostomy appliance with extrudable gasket
Inventor: HOLMBERG STEEN
IPC: A61F5/443
Filed: 1995-05-29
Abstract: An ostomy appliance of one-piece or two-piece construction having an adhesive faceplate with a stoma-receiving opening for peristomal adhesive attachment of the appliance to a wearer. The faceplate includes a flexible patch which may be formed of non-woven material and is covered on one side with a first layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive material -- particularly a skinfriendly, tacky, hydrocolloid-containing, moisture-absorbing skin barrier material -- surrounding the stoma-receiving opening, and a second layer of a soft, easily-deformable, and extrudable fluid-resistant sealant material also surrounding that opening.  Inward displacement of the sealant material following adhesive attachment of the faceplate to a patient results in the formation in situ of a fluid-resistant gasket that prevents stomal fluids from contacting  the peristomal skin surfaces and the first layer of skinfriendly adhesive and possibly dissolving that layer and/or disrupting its attachment to the skin.
Patent CA-2150586-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCCUNN MYRON LEE
IPC: A01D34/00
Filed: 1995-05-31
Abstract: A mulching mower mechanism, having an inverted U-shaped channel member positioned within the outer periphery of a cutting chamber of a mower deck for generally confining the clippings circulating at the outer periphery of the cutting chamber.  The channel member extends generally across the mower deck's discharge outlet for generally diverting the stream of clippings away from the outlet and thereby serves to maintain the clippings within the deck to be re-cut by the blade.  The channel member includes an upper and outer wall portions positioned adjacent the discharge outlet for generally blocking the clippings and air within the channel from exiting the discharge outlet.  The channel member also includes an inner wall portion which separates the stream of clippings from the relatively clean air circulating within the inner portion of the deck.  The discharge outlet is in fluid communication with the inner portion of the cutting chamber for allowing the clean air to exit the cutting chamber via the discharge outlet, thereby maintaining an updraft within the cutting chamber.

Title: A method for training a text to speech system, the resulting apparatus, and method of use thereof
Inventor: HIRSCHBERG JULIA
IPC: G10L13/02
Filed: 1994-10-12
Abstract: A method of training a TTS (104) to assign intonational features, such as intonational phrase boundaries, to input text (110). The method of training involves taking a set of predetermined text (110) and having a human annotate it with intonational feature annotations. The text is passed through the preprocessor (120) and the phrasing module (122) wherein a set of decision nodes is generated by statistically analyzing information based upon the structure of the predetermined text. The statistical representation may then be stored and repeatedly used to generate synthesized speech, through the post processor (124), from new sets of input text without further training.

Filed: 1993-11-19
Abstract: Thin metal foil jewelry is manufactured by a process which includes initially crimping the foil (34) randomly, and then again crimping the foil (34) while rotating (40) the crimp to bring the sides of the crimp out of the plane of the foil to form peaks (42) and valleys (44) and to cause the foil (34) to assume an arcuate shape. The peaks (42) and valleys (44) and the arcuate shape add rigidity to the thin foil and resist deformation. The jewelry can be further processed to form a bend (48) on the periphery of the foil (34) and/or holes (64, 66) which are formed within the foil (60) to add further rigidity to the foil (60) and to change its appearance.
