Patent BR-9913085-A (BR)
Inventor: AHVENNIEMI VESA
IPC: D21G9/00
Filed: 1999-08-19
Abstract: Method and apparatus for guiding a web of paper or board or, alternatively, an edge strip sheared therefrom, in a paper machine or finishing equipment, the method being particularly suited for threading the web tail or edge strip through the machine in conjunction with a production shutdown or after a web break. According to the invention, the web (6) or its tail sheared from the web so as to form an edge strip is supported electrically by means of taking surfaces or electrodes (3, 5) disposed on opposite sides of the web (6) to different potentials. Particularly advantageously, the web (6) or the edge strip can be adhered to a roll (16), a belt (7) or a wire by taking said support element to a lower potential and disposing a higher-potential electrode (5) or a number of electrodes to the opposite side of the web.

Abstract: A water sensitive hot melt adhesive composition based on polyalkyleneimine copolymers for use with articles such as paper products, disposable nonwoven products, tapes, labels and packaging materials. By varying the amount of copolymer included in the composition as well as by varying the chain structure and the ratio of soluble versus insoluble repeating units in the copolymer, an adhesive may be formulated to modify the degree of solubility from 100% to 0% soluble in water and/or other performance characteristics. The adhesive composition includes about 10% to about 70%, by weight, of a polyalkyleneimine copolymer or a blend of one or more polyalkyleneimine copolymers; about 0% to about 70%, by weight, of a tackifying resin; about 10% to about 70%, by weight, of a compatible plasticizer; and about 0.1% to about 3% by weight of one or more antioxidant. The adhesive maintains the article in an assembled condition by providing adequate adhesive bond strength during normal use, but dissolves in the presence of water thereby permitting the article to be recycled or otherwise disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

Title: Automatic text classification
Inventor: BROWN DANIEL
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: Word stems and word stem sequences are extracted from a text to be analysed and compared with data classified by the user comprising word stems and word stem sequences together with a measure of probability with respect to a number of categories. Each of the number of categories is represented by an axis whose two ends correspond to mutually exclusive characteristics, for example light and heavy. The text to be analysed is then classified in terms of the categories with a value being assigned to each category based on the occurrences of word stems and modifiers such as "very" or "not" which precede them. Something which is extremely light can therefore be distinguished from something not very light.

Title: Mobile communication system and mobile terminal for email and text communication
Inventor: MORI DAISUKE
IPC: H04L12/58
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: A mobile terminal in a mobile communication network has a function of text communication in packets or e-mail communication, and an e-mail address identical with a telephone number used for text communication. The mobile terminal transmits a request to the network for a packet communication channel in order to start text communication with another mobile terminal. If a rejection message is received from the network the mobile terminal automatically deactivates text communication and selects e-mail communication without disconnecting the packet channel. The telephone number used for text communication is converted into an e-mail address by means of a browser. Rejection may occur if the other mobile terminal is out of a service area or switched off. Alternatively a response from the other mobile terminal may indicate rejection of text communication.

Title: A non-rotating sensor assembly for measurement-while-drilling
Inventor: KRUSPE THOMAS
IPC: G01V3/32
Filed: 1999-03-03
Abstract: An MWD method and apparatus for determining parameters of interest in a formation has a sensor assembly mounted on a slidable sleeve slidably coupled to a longitudinal member, such as a section of drill pipe. When the sensor assembly is held in a non-rotating position, for instance for obtaining the measurements, the longitudinal member is free to rotate and continue drilling the borehole, wherein downhole measurements can be obtained with substantially no sensor movement or vibration. This is particularly useful in making NMR measurements due to their susceptibility to errors caused by tool vibration. In addition, the substantially non-rotating arrangement of sensors makes it possible to efficiently carry out VSPs, reverse VSPs and looking ahead of the drill bit. A clamping device is used, for instance, to hold the sensor assembly in the non-rotating position. The sensor assembly of the present invention can include any of a variety of sensors and/or transmitters for determining a plurality of parameters of interest including, for example, nuclear magnetic resonance measurements.
