Title: Method for co-forming an absorbent structure having a transfer layer and a reservoir layer and the resulting product thereof
Inventor: CHAUVETTE GAETAN
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1992-07-20
Granted: 2004-09-14
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a structurally integral, compound fluid-absorbent structure having superposed transfer and reservoir layers united in an intimate fluid-communicative relationship. The method comprises the steps of laying in a superposed relationship and in physical contact a slurry of cellulosic fibrous material forming the transfer layer and a slurry of peat moss material forming the reservoir layer. The resulting laminated composite slurry layer is dewatered and calendered to enhance the drying power of the reservoir layer. Subsequently, the laminated composite web is subjected to perf-embossing to relax the fibrous network of the transfer layer and enhance its ability to rapidly take-up fluid. To render the transfer layer responsive to the perf-embossing operation, a debonding agent is incorporated therein. The invention also extends to a fluid-absorbent component manufactured by the aforementioned method, which can be used as an absorbent core for disposable absorbent products such as sanitary napkins, diapers, urinary pads, adult briefs, wound dressings, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides a shutter assembly for covering an exposed electrical terminal located in a control center into which removably inserts an electrical control device connecting to the terminal. The assembly includes a shutter to cover the exposed terminal when superposed thereover. The shutter has a pivotal axis at one end, so that the opposite end of the shutter pivots away from the exposed terminal and swings clear of the control device to provide access to the terminal. The rotation of the shutter is automatically controlled to expose the terminal when the control device is inserted in the cell and reversibly pivots the shutter to cover the terminal upon removing the control device from the cell.      The present invention also provides a method of safely protecting an exposed terminal mounted in a control center. A control center is provided with a partially enclosed framework for removably inserting a control device.      Subsequently, a self-contained shutter assembly is installed for supporting a shutter in a superposed relation over the exposed terminals and for controlling the rotation of the shutter to expose the terminal when the control device is inserted in the cell and reversibly pivots the shutter to cover the terminal upon removing the control device from the yell.

Abstract: After a base station has specified, via a downlink control channel or traffic channel, the channel on which a mobile station located in its area should measure the received level, and the mobile station has received a measurement instruction, the mobile station uses the received level measurement function commonly possessed by a mobile station to measure the received level of the specified channel, and reports the results to the base station via an uplink control channel or traffic channel. This enables an existing cellular system to be utilized as a first mobile communication system, and makes it possible to construct a second mobile communication system in the same area as the service area of this first system.
