Abstract: A method of improving an adhesive article, such tape, a label or
repositionable paper, containing a paper facestock layer and an adhesive
layer is disclosed. The adhesive layer contains a pressure sensitive
adhesive and voided latex particles. The incorporation of the voided latex
particles into the adhesive layer provides opacity and improves shear
strength, without unacceptably compromising the tack and peel adhesion
properties of the adhesive layer and without causing wear to processing
equipment relative to conventional fillers.

Abstract: A drive signal generator generates a drive signal including a first
waveform component for jetting an ink drop to be a micro dot and a second
waveform component for jetting an ink drop to be a middle dot. A pressure
generating element varies the volume of a pressure generating chamber in
accordance with the drive signal to jet an ink drop from a nozzle orifice. An ink
drop to be a large dot is jetted from the nozzle orifice when the first waveform
component and the second waveform component are consecutively applied to
the pressure generating element. A time interval Tµm between an end point of
the first waveform component and a start point of the second waveform
component is set so as to substantially satisfy the following equation:
   Tµm  =    n   2     Tc   
here, Tc denotes a natural period of the pressure generating chamber.

Abstract: A method of designing a tire which takes into consideration
actual conditions in the presence of a fluid, such as drainage
performance, on-snow performance, noise performance, and the like.
A tire model and a fluid model including the shape, structure, and the
like are constructed, and a road surface condition is inputted (steps
100 to 106). Boundary conditions during tire rolling or tire nonrolling
are set (step 108), deformation calculation and fluid calculation of the
tire model are performed (steps 110 to 114), and a boundary surface
between the tire model and the fluid model is recognized to update the
boundary conditions (steps 118 and 120). The result of calculation is
outputted as the result of estimation, and based on this result of
estimation, main travel paths of the fluid, i.e., streamlines, are
adopted (step 122), grooves are formed along the determined
streamlines so that a tire model with patterns is constructed (steps
124 and 126), and the draft design having satisfactory performance is
adopted (steps 128 to 132).

Abstract: A pedal adjustment system (10) for an automobile having an accelerator cable (22) and
a master cylinder pushrod (20) with a free end, the system having a brake pedal (12) secured to a lower
end of a brake pedal arm (14) and an accelerator pedal (16) secured to a lower end of an accelerator

ends, the pivoting being done by imposing a reversible force from an electric motor and gear
box assembly attached to an upper end of the brake pedal arm (14). The accelerator pedal arm (18), an
upper end of which engages the accelerator cable (22), is adjusted in unison with the brake pedal
arm (14) by providing an accelerator adjustment link, an upper end of which is co-extensive with
the brake pedal arm (14) and a lower end of which is pivotally attached to the accelerator pedal
arm (18) at a location between the upper and lower ends of the accelerator pedal arm (18).

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for transmission of data,
more particularly for transmission of data in clustered
structures in IP networks. According to the invention, the
cluster units are configured to be members of an IP
multicast group specific to the cluster. The switch or
switches directly connected to the cluster units are arranged
to monitor multicast group membership reports from the
cluster units, and therefore obtain knowledge about which
ports of the switch or switches are connected to cluster
units. Advantageously, the switch or switches may also
send membership queries to find out, which ports are
connected to members of the cluster multicast group.
Consequently, when the switch receives a packet with a
multicast MAC address and the IP address of the cluster,
the switch sends the packet to only those ports to which
cluster units are connected, and not to all ports of the
switch as according to the prior art.

(1) in Funktion gesetzt werden, wenn
durch die Funktion der Spannungssteuerung (8) alleine der
Betriebsstrom nicht innerhalb der vorgegebenen Grenzen
gehalten werden kann, ohne einen vorgegebenen Spannungsbereich
zu verlassen. Dadurch werden sowohl der Betriebsstrom
als auch die Spannung innerhalb vorgegebener Grenzen
gehalten, was das Beschichtungsergebnis verbessert.
