Title: System and method for reducing the search scope in a lexicon

Abstract: A system and method for more efficiently comparing an unverified string to a lexicon, which filters the lexicon through multiple steps to reduce the number of entries to be directly compared with the unverified string. The method begins by preparing the lexicon with an n-gram encoding, partitioning and hashing process, which can be accomplished in advance of any processing of unverified strings. The unknown is compared first by partitioning and hashing it in the same way to reduce the lexicon in a computationally inexpensive manner. This is followed by an encoded vector comparison step, and finally by a direct string comparison step, which is the most computationally expensive. The reduction of the lexicon is accomplished without arbitrarily eliminating any large portions of the lexicon that might contain relevant candidates. At the same time, the method avoids the need to compare the unverified string directly or indirectly with all the entries in the lexicon. The final candidate list includes only highly possible and ranked candidates for the unverified string, and the size of the final list is adjustable.

Abstract: A device is claimed for varying a flat flow channel (1) with a width to height (h) ratio of more than 10. At least one channel wall is flexible and adjusters are arranged across the channel (1) width on the rear side of the flexible wall allowing channel height (h) to be varied over the whole width or parts of the width. The flexible wall consists of an assembly (2) of flat plates (3, 4, 5) lying against each other, the lower plate (3) being welded onto the flow channel body (6) and forming a common wall with the flow channel (1). A variation of the device with the stated width/height ratio is fitted to the end of a die for producing a variable thickness extrudate and includes two adjusting systems (13, 14) acting on one wall of the device. The first adjuster system produces a uniform wall adjustment over the whole channel width and the other adjustment system provides localised adjustment. Also claimed is a process for extruding a material strip with a thickness which varies either locally or across the whole width uses a die with a flow channel and an outlet with one or more adjustable walls by which the flow rate through the channel is varied by two separate adjusting systems each with its own control system to vary flow channel height either in specific areas, across the whole width or both simultaneously.

Abstract: An ultrasonic method and system for intermittently changing a condition of a workpiece is disclosed. The ultrasonic system includes an ultrasonic horn and a rotating anvil roll positioned to form a close relationship with each other comprising a nip. One of the ultrasonic horn and the rotating anvil roll includes an outer radial surface having a first length (40) having a first amount of surface area per unit length of the respective outer radial surface, and a second length (42) having a lesser amount of surface area per unit length of the respective outer radial surface. When ultrasonic energy is applied to the ultrasonic horn, the second length changes a condition of the workpiece when applied in the nip, but the first length does not change that condition. The change in condition occurs because the decrease in surface area along the second length (42) increases the ultrasonic energy per unit area, as applied in the nip, to at least the threshold amount necessary to change the condition. Changes in condition of the workpiece include bonding together two or more layers of material, cutting one or more layers of material, or the like. Various patterns and designs can be provided at the working outer radial surface of the ultrasonic horn and/or the rotating anvil roll, for processing the workpiece. In one embodiment, a first discrete length of a pattern repeats multiple times in a single rotation of the anvil roll or ultrasonic horn with respective second discrete lengths therebetween. In another embodiment, the anvil roll or ultrasonic horn includes opposing side portions upon either side of a central region wherein the central region includes the pattern and thus the reduced surface area. The pattern may include lands extending from an underlying base surface to a radius, at the respective outer radial surface, in common with the radius at the first length of the outer radial surface. By having the lands in the outer radial surface of the second length at the same radius as the outer radial surface in the first length, the respective ultrasonic horn or rotating anvil roll comprises a constant radius at its outer radial surface so the ultrasonic system is substantially free from changes in tension on the workpiece caused by surface characteristics of either the ultrasonic horn or the rotating anvil roll.

Abstract: Absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders, training pants and the like, having elastomeric ear panels and a fastening system that provides the user with different options as to how the absorbent article may be fitted to and removed from the wearer. The absorbent articles allow the wearer to choose between conventional and pull-on diaper configurations, or combinations thereof, and properly and comfortably fit a large range of wearer sizes. Further, the absorbent articles can be pulled on and/or off as a pant. This feature is provided by the ear panels which maintain sufficient tension to hold the diaper on the wearer throughout the period of use without harming the wearer's skin, while providing enough stretch to allow the diaper to be pulled up or down over the wearer's hips. The fastening system is refastenable for convenience yet strong enough to maintain the diaper in a fastened configuration without becoming detached if the diaper is pulled on or off the wearer. The front ear flaps are folded such that at least a portion of each of the front ear flaps extends laterally inwardly from the longitudinal edge of the containment assembly and are releasably bonded in the folded configuration. The first and second closure members are disposed at an angel to the longitudinal and lateral centerline of the absorbent article.

Abstract: This invention concerns a catalyst which, for instance, is suited for hydrogenation and consists of at least one catalytically active metal in a low-valence state on an essentially carbon substrate. This substrate consists of carbon which is present in an amorphous state with curved surfaces of the molecular planes which contain non-six-membered carbon rings and the catalytically active metal is covalently bonded to the carbon substrate. This catalyst is produced by vaporizing graphite in an electric arc between at least two graphite electrodes in a vacuum apparatus under a non-oxidizing atmosphere. To that end, the process is carried out a) in a vacuum apparatus with cooled walls with direct or alternating current under a pressure of 100 Pa or less, the precipitated product on the cooled walls being recovered, or b) with direct current from 1 Pa to 100 kPa using arc lengths of 0.1 to 20 mm, the product which grows on the negative pole of the electrode connected to the power supply being recovered, and c) with alternating current at a pressure of 1 Pa to 100 Pa and arc length of 0.1 to 20 mm the product which grows on the carbon electrodes being recovered, and d) the product obtained from a), b) or c) being recovered with a thermolabile low-valent compound or complex of a catalytically active metal.
