Patent EP-1401639-A4 (EP)
Title: Expandable microspheres for foam insulation and methods
Inventor: GLORIOSO JOEY
IPC: C08J9/32
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: Hollow thermoexpandable particles or microspheres are provided that contain hydrocarbon blowing agents and have a shell polymer that can be softened at the onset of the expansion temperature and solidified at a higher temperature (thermoset) in an expanded state. Preferably, the microspheres have a shell of thermally expandable and thermally crosslinkable polymer and a hollow interior that contains a hydrocarbon liquid that boils at a temperature below the heat activated crosslinking temperature of the polymer shell. The crosslinking of the shell polymer during or after expansion, which is heat activated at an elevated temperature, can solidify the shell polymer and, then, maintain the expanded volume of the microspheres. The thermoexpandable thermoset polymer particles are useful in insulation, packaging, for making foam materials such as polyurethane or polyisocyanurate rigid foams. The invented thermoset microspheres can substantially improve the close cell percentage and compressive strength of the foam materials and make the foam manufacturing less hazardous.

Title: Method of heat-peeling chip cut pieces from heat peel type adhesive sheet, electronic part, and circuit board
Inventor: MURATA AKIHISA
IPC: C09J7/38
Filed: 2002-07-23
Abstract: A method of overheating and releasing a chip cut piece from a thermal release type pressure sensitive adhesive sheet is a method by which a chip cut piece stuck onto a thermal release type pressure sensitive adhesive sheet having a base material, and a thermally expandable microsphere-containing thermally expandable pressure sensitive adhesive layer provided on a surface of the base material is thermally released from the thermal release type pressure sensitive adhesive sheet and which is characterized by including the step of overheating while restraining the overheat and release type pressure sensitive adhesive sheet to thereby release the chip cut piece. A means for restraining the thermal release type pressure sensitive adhesive sheet may be an absorption means using suction or may be a bonding means using an adhesive agent. In this manner, the chip cut piece can be thermally released from the overheat and release type pressure sensitive adhesive sheet while position displacement in a horizontal direction can be prevented. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and system for evaluating the quality of packet-switched voice signals
Inventor: HARDY WILLIAM CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining what level of performance must be maintained by a second communication service so as to be perceived as being of equal quality to a first communication service, especially where the second communication service is subject to additional impairments not experienced by the first communication service. In one example embodiment, the present invention is applied to determining what combinations of packet loss rate and packet delay are tolerable where a packet switched telephony service is desired to be perceived to be substantially equivalent to a traditional toll-quality non-packet-switched telephone service. Empirically derived models are used to relate user perception to objectively measurable characteristics, such as packet loss rate.

Filed: 2003-12-26
Abstract: Second digital information serving as copyright protection information can be stably and reliably read without any effect of a defect or pit missing on a disk-shaped recording medium. <??>Second digital information is recorded onto a disk-shaped recording medium by wobbling a pit sequence recorded as a first signal. The second digital information is recorded so that a plurality of bits constituting the second digital information are allocated in a unit period of an identical sync signal contained in the first signal. During playback, the plurality of bits constituting the recorded second digital information are read a plurality of times every unit period of the sync signal, and information of the read bits is then integrated. Thus, information from a large number of wobbled pits across unit periods of a plurality of sync signals can be integrated to determine the bit values. <IMAGE>

Filed: 2006-04-29
Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de commande de points en réseau et de formes de points en réseau d'une image FM/AM mélangée, effectuée sur un appareil présentant une profondeur d'imagerie de plusieurs octets. Dans l'état de la technique, la reproduction de la forme de points en réseau, à différents niveaux de gradation, est entièrement fondée sur la théorie de distribution aléatoire d'erreurs, et est affectée par la manière dont est produite la sortie de commande dynamique des points en réseau présentant plusieurs octets. Par conséquent, il est difficile d'assurer une bonne commande de la forme des points en réseau, à un certain niveau de gradation. L'invention fait appel à un algorithme de statistiques dynamiques de gradation de sortie de direction adjacente fondé sur l'état de la technique, ce qui permet d'assurer une bonne commande de la forme des points en réseau, et de résoudre le problème du caractère aléatoire du changement de forme des points en réseau, en raison du caractère aléatoire de la distribution d'erreurs. La méthode de l'invention fondée sur une méthode de maillage mélangé FM/AM présentant plusieurs octets, et sur la demande de points en réseau de l'appareil d'imagerie, permet de bénéficier pleinement des caractéristiques de l'appareil d'imagerie à plusieurs octets. L'effet de maillage mélangé d'image en simili FM/AM du changement commandé de la forme de points en réseau, peut être produit à des résolutions faibles. Ainsi, l'invention permet de résoudre le problème de l'effet granulaire des points en réseau en simili mélangé à la sortie réelle. En outre, l'invention permet d'obtenir un effet lissé des niveaux de gradation.
