accessory can be any object that may be used as a surprise in relation to the
lollypop. The hollow receptacle is comprised of a top part and a bottom part
that are assembled by pressure. The bottom part includes an aperture whose
size makes it possible to insert the stick of the lollypop through said aperture
while the outer end of the stick remains outside the receptacle and the edible
body of the lollypop remains inside the receptacle when the top and bottom
part are joined by pressure. Another characteristic of the invention is that the
accessories are comprised of a game set that includes a game board and at
least one ludic element, The game board includes flat pieces with complementary
structures in such a way that said flat pieces may be assembled by

Abstract: An MRI apparatus having an ability of displaying images
of flow in different directions in distinguishable manner. When
this MRI apparatus performs multi-slice acquisition with a
predetermined repetition time TR by selecting a plurality of
slices approximately perpendicular to the flow direction of an
object to be examined, it performs a first measurement of exciting
the plurality of slices in a first order and a second measurement
of exciting the same slices in the opposite order to obtain two
kinds of data whose signal intensity differs depending on the
flow direction. The two kinds of data obtained by two
measurements are subjected to subtraction operation to obtain
data with different signs depending on the flow direction. These
signs combined with the signal intensity are made into images
where flow in opposite directions are distinctively depicted.
In the multi-slice acquisition, slices are selected so that
adjacent slices partially overlap in the direction of the
thickness of the slice. Thereby signals of a static part can
be suppressed and contrast of flow images after substraction
can be enhanced. EPI method of very short imaging time can be
employed for the imaging sequence of MRA according to the present
invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymeric coating composition for application onto glass substrates for anti-reflective properties. The coating is provided via chemical grafting that involves the use of monomers and/or prepolymers, catalyst, and graft initiator and when applied onto the surface of the glass substrate forms a polymeric film chemically bonded to the glass with excellent adhesion. This coating can reduce the reflectance of the coated glass surface to as close to zero as possible, thus maximizing transmittance and providing resistance to abrasion, water/chemical attack, and UV degradation.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un contrôleur de mémoire (230) pour une mémoire d'ordinateur (70), qui décode les demandes d'accès à la mémoire pour les transformer en opérations de mémoire primitives individuelles qui sont ensuite mises dans des files d'attente d'opérations séparées (340, 350, 360). Les files d'attente d'opérations (340, 350, 360) envoient indépendamment leurs opérations de mémoire primitives mises en file d'attente à la mémoire (70), afin d'initialiser la demande d'accès à la mémoire. Les files d'attente d'opérations (340, 350, 360) contrôlent et respectent les dépendances de synchronisation et de classement entre les opérations de mémoire primitives qui sont mises en file d'attente et celles qui ont déjà été transmises à la mémoire (70). Lorsqu'une opération de mémoire primitive est transmise à la mémoire, elle est sortie de sa file d'attente d'opération respective (340, 350, 360). Une file d'attente de commande (365) contrôle l'avancement des opérations de mémoire primitives transmises à la mémoire (70), complète la demande initialisée d'accès à la mémoire et fournit des données de dépendance de synchronisation et de classement aux files d'attente d'opérations (340, 350, 360).

Abstract: A nonwoven web of multipolymer fibers is described that is unidirectionally stretched and permanently elongated at ambient conditions and exhibits a substantial increase in tensile strength in the stretch direction. The ratio of tensile strength of the web in the direction of fiber orientation to the tensile strength in the other direction is at least about 10:1. The ratio of elongation at peak load in a direction transverse to the direction of fiber orientation is at least about 6:1. The multipolymer fibers normally are a blend of polyethylene and a polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer, one of which is a dominant phase and one of which is a disperse phase. A third component having elastomeric properties that is a least partially miscible with one or both of the other components is included in some blends. The nonwoven webs are stretchable well beyond their initial dimensions in the direction perpendicular to the stretch direction and are especially useful in laminates with elastomeric members for use in disposable absorbent articles to impart elasticity thereto.

Abstract: A recovery plant for recovery of a gaseous component, such as carbon dioxide, from a process gas, such as the exhaust from a combustion turbine, has an absorber (110) employing a lean solvent (126) in an upper section of the absorber and a semi-lean solvent (172) in a lower section of the absorber. A regenerator (120) extracts the gaseous component from the rich solvent (117) thereby producing a regenerated lean solvent (126) and a semi-lean solvent (127). A solvent flow control element (170) combines at least a part of the semi-rich solvent (118) from the upper section of the absorber with the semi-lean solvent (127) from the regenerator to form a mixed solvent (171), and a cooler (112) cools the mixed solvent that is subsequently fed into the lower section of the absorber (110). By cooling the mixed solvent prior to entry into the absorber, the thermal energy required to remove the carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas can be reduced.
