Abstract: The invention concerns water retention elements comprising a water-permeable material adapted to absorb water and to gradually release absorbed water in a dry environment such as an insufficiently watered soil. The permeable material (2, 22) has interspersed gaps (3) for retaining water and is enclosed in an envelope much less permeable to water. The invention also concerns methods for making and using said water retention elements for humidifying crops or plants growing above a soil or basement which is dry or fast losing its moisture, and for producing a barrier between a cultivable fill soil and a porous basement unsuited for water retention.

Abstract: A flocked transfer is produced by applying a release agent to a release sheet, and then applying the flocking to a release agent. Unlike the traditional method, a binder and thermoplastic hot melt film is applied to the back of the flock. The transfer, which is essentially release sheet, is then applied to a substrate, such as item of clothing, a rubber pad, etc., by positioning a sheet of thermoplastic hot melt film on the substrate; placing the transfer on the hot melt with the flock in contact with the hot melt film, and applying heat and pressure. The heat melts the thermoplastic hot melt film to bind the flock to the substrate and binds the flocking together. This method reduces the cost involved in producing flocked articles, especially for articles produced on a continuous basis.

Abstract: A controlling device of a compressor is provided. A noise filter is arranged at an input of the inverter circuit that converts the commercial frequency to a driving frequency to control a motor driving a compressor mechanism, for suppressing a common mode noise of the commercial power source and the inverter circuit, and is connected to a ground through a metal frame used for receiving a compressor main body. The noise filter comprises coils connected between first capacitors and second capacitors that are connected in series between the AC power lines, and further comprises a clamper connected between nodes of the second capacitors and the metal frame for clamping a voltage and a third capacitor connected to the clamper in parallel. even though the new refrigerant, such as R410A, and the three-phase AC power source are used, the leakage current can be reduced by a simple structure and the increase of the noise terminal voltage can be also suppressed. Furthermore, both of the legal regulation requirements can be met.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for dissolving gas in a liquid and a system for doing the same. More specifically, the present invention concerns a flowing liquid into which gas is injected. The liquid flows in a pipe (10, 110) that has an injector (12, 112) attached to it for the supply for gas to the flow of liquid. The present invention may be used for oxygen enrichment of water and may be used in connection with fish farming or farming of other aquatic creatures. In particular, the invention may be used in connection with land-based fish farming. In connection with the dissolution of gas in liquid, the mixture is caused to flow via one or more turbulence-initiating elements (15, 115), thus achieving an approximately saturated molecular solution of gas in theliquid.

Abstract: An array of memory cells of an integrated circuit are organized so metal bitlines are segmented. The memory cells may be nonvolatile memory cells such as floating gate, Flash, EEPROM, and EPROM cells. The bitlines for the memory cells are strapped to metal, and the metal bitline is segmented. The individual segments may be selectively connected to voltages as desired to allow configuring (e.g., programming) or reading of the memory cells. The programming voltage may be a high voltage, above the VCC of the integrated circuit. By dividing the metal bitlines into segments, this reduces noise between bitlines and improve the performance and reliability, and reduce power consumption because the parasitic capacitances are reduced compared to a long metal bitline (i.e., where all the segments are connected together and operated as one).

Abstract: A communications terminal using interleaving may be awakened at certain times. The paging message determines whether the terminal will remain awake or it can return to sleep. The amount of time that the communications terminal is awakened may be reduced by determining whether it is necessary to demodulate all of the available time slots. In many cases, it may be possible, based on the environment in which terminal finds itself and the quality of the signals it receives, to obtain the necessary information without demodulating symbols from all the time slots in which symbols of the message are transmitted. As a result the period to receive the paging message may be reduced and the power consumption may likewise be reduced.
