Title: Environmentally friendly aqueous architectural coating compositions
Inventor: HORLEY SUSAN MARY
IPC: C09D151/02
Filed: 1999-03-31
Granted: 2007-02-13
Abstract: An environmentally friendly stable aqueous optionally structured water-resistant architectural coating composition (especially a paint) containing a film-forming binder polymer composed of a starch modified by the presence of carboxylic acid or inorganic carboxylate groups and bonded (probably grafted) to chains of copolymerised mono-ethylenically unsaturated monomers (e.g. "acrylic", "vinyl" or "styrenic" copolymers) permitting a stable aqueous dispersion of the binder polymer to be made which retains good water-resistance in the dried paint. The modified starch allows paints to be made with less dependence on materials obtained from non-renewable resources whilst retaining a low water-sensitivity.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de transmission de programmation numérique, comprenant une source de programmes fournissant des informations numériques, des circuits permettant de moduler les informations numériques sur un vecteur visuel modulé par programmation télévisuelle analogique, et un transmetteur visuel couplé aux circuits de modulation. Grâce à un procédé de modulation de phase, la phase du système module les informations numériques d'un vecteur visuel, réduit les fréquences de la bande de base du vecteur visuel à modulation de phase, et module en amplitude le vecteur vidéo à modulation de phase sur un signal vidéo. Les signaux vidéo amplifiés et codés sont combinés à un signal audio amplifié avant leur transmission. Grâce à un procédé d'addition, le système module les bandes latérales du vecteur vidéo à l'aide des informations numériques, et module en amplitude le signal vidéo sur le vecteur vidéo. Les bandes latérales à modulation de données subissent un décalage de phase de manière à être en quadrature avec le signal vidéo à modulation d'amplitude. Le système combine le vecteur vidéo à modulation d'amplitude et les bandes latérales de quadrature à modulation de données. Grâce à un procédé mixte de multiplication/addition, le système réalise la modulation de phase et l'addition des bandes latérales de quadrature, ce qui permet d'obtenir un résultat optimisé.

Abstract: A mouthguard has a flexible frame, and has bite tabs extending from the rear surface of the frame for engaging the wearer's teeth. The bite tabs include anterior bite tabs for engaging the wearer's front teeth. A narrow split may be provided between the anterior bite tabs that allows the bite tabs to maintain their flexibility. The flexible frame lays against the outer surface of the teeth and extends into the buccal folds superiorly and interiorly of the cheek where the muscles hold it in place: Grooves may be positioned lengthwise along the frame above and below the bite tabs for purposes of flexibility and to allow the muscles of the cheek to press the upper and lower extensions of the frame close to the bone for better retention and comfort. The teeth engage the bite tabs, thus preventing the teeth from clashing together and protecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). One or more air holes may b.e provided in the front portion of the mouthguard permit easy breathing. The mouthguard is retained by the muscles of the lips and cheeks, causes no gag reflex, and is simple, comfortable and protective.

Abstract: In a search engine with two-dimensional scalable architecture for searching of a collection of documents D, the search engine comprises data processing units which form sets of nodes (N) connected in a network, a first set of nodes comprising dispatch nodes (N .alpha.), a second set of nodes search nodes (N .beta.) and a third set of nodes indexing nodes (N .gamma.). The search nodes (N .beta.) are grouped in columns which via the network are connected in parallel between the dispatch nodes (N .alpha.) and an indexing node (N .gamma.). The dispatch nodes (N .alpha.) are adapted for processing search queries and search answers, the search nodes (N .beta.) are adapted to contain search software, and the indexing nodes (N .gamma.) are adapted for generally generating indexes I for the search software. Optionally, acquisition nodes (N .delta.) provided in a fourth set of nodes and adapted for processing the search answers, thus relieving the dispatch nodes of this task. The two-dimensional scaling takes place respectively through a scaling of the data volume and a scaling of the search engine performance through a respective adaptation of the architecture.

Abstract: A pressure loss in an oxidative gas passage of each of single cells is obtained by causing gas to flow through the oxidative gas passage and calculating a difference between gas pressures detected by first and second pressure gauges. This pressure loss is compared with predetermined ranks so as to carry out classification according to the ranks. The pressure loss in the oxidative gas passage has a predetermined permissible range that is divided into two or more small ranges, which are referred to as a first rank, a second rank, ...., and an n-th rank respectively. The single cell that is to be measured at the moment is classified into a certain one of the ranks depending on which one of the first to n-th ranks corresponds to the pressure loss in the oxidative gas passage. Classification is similarly carried out as to a pressure loss in a fuel gas passage as well. Those of the single cells which are equivalent in rank are gathered up and combined to fabricate a fuel cell.
