Granted: 2011-08-09
Abstract: A method is disclosed for topical application of compositions containing a chemical additive onto a paper web. The present invention is also directed to paper products formed from the method. In general, the method includes the steps of extruding a composition containing a chemical additive through a melt blown die and then applying the composition to a moving paper web. In particular, the method provides for the application of tacky compositions to a web through a melt blown die while avoiding die tip clogging. In one embodiment, the chemical composition is extruded into fibers and applied to the paper web. The chemical composition may contain, for instance, various additives, such as a polysiloxane softener and one or more beneficial agents.

Abstract: A controller (28) for a doubly fed induction generator (12, 20) adjusts control signals to a rotor side converter (24) and line side converter (22) to adjust rotor current when a voltage transient on a utility grid (10) occurs, so that the doubly fed induction generator can ride through the transient. The controller can also turn off the transistors of the rotor side converter (24) to reduce rotor current and/or activate a crowbar (42) to reduce the voltage of the DC link (26) connecting the converters (22, 24) when significant voltage transients occur on the grid (10). This permits continued operation of the DFIG system without disconnecting from the grid.

Abstract: The roll-up floor heating comprises an insulating layer, a heating element and a cladding. The insulating layer is intended for laying on a floor and the heating element extends between the cladding and the insulating layer. The cladding is intended to support a floor covering and comprises a force distribution layer for transmitting a force which is exerted on the cladding in a distributed manner to the insulating layer. In as far as (a part of) the heating element is at the location or in the vicinity of the exerted force, the load which will be exerted on it will be lower than the original load, due to the force being transmitted in a distributed manner. This lowers the risk of the heating element being damaged.

Granted: 2012-02-07
Abstract: An improved system and procedure for allowing participants within a group conversation on a wireless communication network (10) to at least temporarily break away from a group conversation (90) and hold a side bar conversation.  The side bar conversation (100) may comprise several different types, including a public conversation or may constitute a private conversation or private text messaging or data exchange. A group conversation user wishing to hold the side bar conversation uses his user interface to alert other group conversation user(s) with whom he would like to hold the side bar conversation. Either the initiating user or the recipient user(s) can recommend the type of side bar conversation to be had using their user interfaces (51). If the side bar conversation is a voice conversation, the original group conversation can still be audible in the back ground, but can be reduced in volume relative to the side bar conversation or squelched in and out when the side bar conversation is active.

Abstract: An image registration method (800) for use in medical imaging is proposed. The method includes the steps of: providing (804) a sequence of images each one including a digital representation of a body-part under analysis, selecting (806) a reference image within the sequence, the remaining images of the sequence defining moving images, and re-aligning (808-854) at least one portion of a moving image with respect to the reference image. The step of re-aligning includes: defining (808,810) a delimitation mask identifying a region on the reference image with which the at least one portion of the moving image has to be re-aligned, and a feature mask identifying a further region on the reference image within which the re-alignment is calculated, determining (820-851) an optimized transformation for compensating a displacement of the moving image with respect to the reference image by optimizing a similarity measure, and transforming (854) the at least one portion of the moving image according to the optimized transformation. The similarity measure is calculated alternatively between: a) a first computation region ident ified on the reference image by a computation mask and a second computation region identified by the computation mask on the moving image transformed according to a proposed transformation, the computation mask being determined by the intersection between the feature mask and the delimitation mask transformed according to the proposed transformation, or b) a first computation region identified by a computation mask on the reference image transformed according to a proposed transformation and a second computation region identified by the computation mask on the moving image, the computation mask being determined by the intersection between the feature mask transformed according to the proposed transformation and the delimitation mask, or c) a first computation region ident ified on the reference image by a computation mask transformed according to the reverse of a proposed transformation and a second computation region ident ified by the computation mask on the moving image, the computation mask being determined by the intersection between the feature mask transformed according to the proposed transformation and the delimitation mask.
