Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing in a continuous production line
absorbent articles (15) which each comprise a top sheet (1'), a backing sheet (7'), an absorbent
body (3) enclosed between the top sheet and the backing sheet, and an adhesive coating (10')
provided with a protective layer (11 ' ) and fastened to the backing sheet, said method comprising
the steps of placing discrete absorbent bodies (3) in a row on a travelling first web (1) of top
sheet or backing sheet material, and thereafter placing a travelling second web (7) of backing
sheet or top sheet material onto said first web, fastening the first and second webs together at
parts which lie outwardly of the absorbent bodies, and thereafter cutting individual absorbent
articles from the composite web (1, 3, 7). According to the invention a protective layer (11) that
includes an adhesive coating (10) is applied to the web of backing sheet material (7) whilst said
web is in a flat state and prior to combining the web with said absorbent bodies (3) and/or the
web of top sheet material (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to packaging (1) for the padded, shock-resistant wrapping of articles (9) ready for dispatch. The invention also relates to a cut-out (2), a method and a device for producing packaging (1) of this type which consists of an internal packing (11) intended for an outer envelope (12) receiving same. A flexible padding/holding section (60) which contacts the article to be packaged (9) is embodied by a closed twist (6) which holds said article (9) in place. The twist (6) is preferably a spiral twist and tightly closed such that it elastically absorbs any shocks. A spring-elastic padding (4) integrated in the packaging (1) is preloaded by the fact that the twist (6) engages at least one padding section (31, 321) in such a way that said padding section (31, 321) is held in a displaced position against a restoring force. According to said method characteristics (K) of the article to be packaged are detected and used to control the degree of twist (68) so as to adjust the holding force and/or elasticity of elongation of the twist (6) and thus to ensure that the packaging (1) with integrated preloaded padding (4) has the shock-absorbing effect appropriate for the article (9) to be packaged. The invention also relates to a device for carrying the said method which comprises electronic connecting and processing means for controlling the degree of twisting (68).

Abstract: The system for interconnecting circuit-based terminal devices with packet-based
terminal devices in a voice communication connection (packet-based terminal device
addressing system) provides service capabilities that allow a calling party to address packet-based
terminal devices without consuming telephone numbers. In this case, the calling
party, using a circuit-based terminal device such as a traditional telephone or video
telephone, initiates a call to a called party, using the called party's telephone number. The
packet-based terminal device addressing system presumes that the owner of the packet-based

is rotatably connected to a support structure (125) via torsional members
(116,117,121,122). The torsional members (116,117,121,122) provide a
restoring force to keep the actuated element (115) planar to the surface of

are adapted to receive an electrical potential. When an
electrical potential is applied to certain of the electrodes (eg. 132',133'), an
electrostatic force is generated which causes the actuated element (115) to
rotate out of plane. The electrodes (130-133,130'-133') have three
components (eg. 132',131,133'). At least a portion of two of the
components (eg. 132',131) is within the tilting area of the actuated element
