Abstract: A system for providing encryption for the rerouting of multi-media data flow packets is disclosed. Generally, a first endpoint is connected to a second endpoint, wherein the first endpoint comprises a transceiver, encryption software stored within the first endpoint defining functions to be performed by the first endpoint, and a processor. The processor is configured by the encryption software to perform the steps of: assigning a sequence number to a first multi-media data flow packet received by a first endpoint, wherein the first multi-media data flow packet is within a series of multi-media data flow packets; pseudo-randomly shuffling the sequence number of the first multi-media data flow packet; and, transmitting the pseudo-randomly shuffled sequence number to a second endpoint. These steps may be performed by a programmed controller, or other hardware, instead of, or in addition to, being performed in accordance with software. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent cores for absorbent articles, which are intended to receive and retain bodily discharges such as urine. Such articles are disposable hygiene articles like baby diapers, training pants, adult incontinence articles, feminine care articles and the like. The improvement essentially is based on the recognition that replacing most or all of the cushioning fibrous absorbent material in an absorbent core by a liquid storage material capable of retaining liquid while maintaining or improving acquisition behavior is desirable as the reduction in cushioning is more than compensated by the gain in comfort. The comfort however can only be achieved if the more fundamental requirements of a diaper in respect to liquid handling are satisfied or improved. Especially if this liquid handling performance is improved beyond the performance of conventional absorbent structures in order to allow creation of thinner and drier absorbent articles, the users of such articles would experience them as providing a more than expected comfort improvement relative to the thinness gain. To provide such absorbent cores and articles made therewith only became possible with the development of new highly absorbent gel materials capable to acquire, conduct, and store liquids in here-to-forth unexpected perfection at super absorbent polymer concentrations, which are unknown today. The second aspect allowing this breakthrough development is the ability to maintain the comfort and performance of such high super absorbent polymer concentration articles during the full usage cycle of the article, from dry to fully loaded, especially by improving the ability of the cores to withstand the forces experienced by such articles during use. This ability to remain intact is also often referred to as wet integrity of the core and its improvement is an important objective of the present invention.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré permettant de produire, de manière continue, des acides carboxyliques aromatiques par oxydation en phase liquide d'un composé aromatique d'alkyle à l'aide d'un gaz contenant de l'oxygène en présence d'un catalyseur d'oxydation, ce qui réduit la production d'eaux usées, requiert moins de capacité de condensation et, augmente éventuellement la récupération de puissance. Ledit procédé utilise efficacement sa chaleur de réaction pour supprimer l'excès d'eau produit par ladite réaction, et réduire les pertes de solvant utilisé comme support du catalyseur de réaction par élimination du dégagement gazeux du réacteur directement dans la colonne de séparation d'eau pour distillation. Une partie des vapeurs aqueuses de tête sont éliminées de la partie supérieure de la colonne de séparation d'eau sous forme de distillat de vapeur, les vapeurs aqueuses de tête restantes étant condensées, puis renvoyées vers la zone de fractionnement de la colonne de séparation d'eau. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le distillat de vapeurs combinées et un gaz de procédé appauvri en oxygène sont ramenés à une faible pression par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de récupération de puissance afin d'obtenir une efficacité de procédé améliorée, puis fournis à un dispositif de régulation de pollution afin de détruire des composés organiques avant de sortir du procédé.
