Abstract: An air filtration or fluid treatment system includes a nonwoven filter media or mat (10) formed from a plurality of elongated generally hollow fibers (20) each having an internal cavity (22) which has an opening (24) to the fiber surface and each retaining within the internal cavity a large number of relatively small solid particles (18), which interact with the air or other fluid stream to be treated. The solid adsorbent particles (18), such as activated carbon, are permanently entrapped within the longitudinal cavities (22) of the fibers (20) without the use of an adhesive or without being embedded onto or within the polymer fiber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making a laminate material which is particularly useful in disposable absorbent articles. In particular the process can be used to provide a laminate of liquid impervious film (12) and a liquid pervious nonwoven substrate (16) with a particulate material (14) between them. The film and the nonwoven substrate are attached to each other by thermal bonding for example by spot welding (4). The process is adapted such that it can be used to produce the laminate as part of a larger process to make absorbent articles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method involves setting up a communications connection free of charge between a calling terminal (TE21) connected to a first communications network (KN1), and a called terminal, whereby a connecting request with a global phone number (IFN) free of charge, is sent as called phone number to the first communications network. The global freephone number is provided by device of a service unit (SERV) of a second communications network (KN2). The connecting request is recognized in the first communications network as a request with a global free-phone number, and a query is sent by the first communications network to the service unit of the second communications network. The service unit determines a local freephone number (LFN) from the global freephone number of the first communications network, and sends it back to the first communications network. The demanded connection is subsequently set up through the first communications network, according to the determined local freephone number.

Abstract: Dans l'ensemble, la présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant d'établir une communication téléphonique en utilisant une adresse électronique ou similaire. Dans de nombreux cas, il est facile de se souvenir d'une adresse électronique ou autre adresse Internet, comme une adress URL, ou dans le cas d'une entreprise par exemple, de la deviner, que l'entreprise soit une entreprise locale, d'une autre état ou d'un autre pays. Par contre, on ne se souvient de numéros de téléphone qu'avec beaucoup de difficulté et on ne les devine que par effet de hasard. (En fait, certains individus à mémoire développée qui ont étonné le public en mémorisant de grandes sections de l'annuaire téléphonique local y sont parvenus en convertissant les numéros en mots ou en phrases selon une série de règles). Selon un aspect de l'invention, on introduit une chaîne de caractères dans un système électronique tel qu'un PC, un boîtier de raccordement au réseau numérique, éventuellement cellulaire. On détermine si ladite chaîne de caractères correspond à un numéro de téléphone. Si oui, on établit une liaison télécommunications souhaitée en utilisant directement le numéro de téléphone. Sinon, on établit une liaison télécommunications préliminaire en utilisant la chaîne de caractères. La liaison télécommunications préliminaire peut être destinée, par exemple, à un serveur courrier ou à un serveur Web. Lors de l'établissement de la liaison télécommunications préliminaire, il y a réception d'un numéro de téléphone. La première chose que l'utilisateur reçoit en retour correspond, de préférence, à ce que l'utilisateur souhaite - un numéro de téléphone - sans autre intervention intermédiaire. Le numéro de téléphone est ensuite utilisé pour établir la liaison télécommunications désirée. Les numéros de téléphone sont, de préférence, 'auto-répertoriés', c'est-à-dire qu'ils sont stockés en fonction de règles d'affectation de noms inhérentes au serveur courrier ou autre serveur. Le procédé peut être entièrement automatisé de manière à constituer un annuaire téléphonique Internet distribué et mondial. Les entités répertoriées dans cet annuaire peuvent elles-mêmes déterminer le contenu de la liste ainsi que les politiques d'accès.

Abstract: Le problème auquel on est confronté dans l'art concerne la production d'une feuille adhésive qui peut conserver une structure irrégulière spécifique juste après le collage sur un support adhérent de sorte que des bulles puissent efficacement s'échapper même lorsque ces dernières sont piégées, et qu'ensuite la structure irrégulière se déforme pour que la détérioration de l'aspect n'existe plus après le collage. Pour résoudre ce problème, une feuille adhésive comprend un film de substrat souple; une couche adhésive qui se trouve en contact avec une surface principale de la feuille de substrat et qui présente une structure irrégulière comportant des parties saillantes destinées à se trouver en contact avec un support adhérent et des rainures qui sont formées entre les parties saillantes adjacentes et qui sortent à l'extérieur lorsque les parties saillantes sont en contact avec le support adhérent; et une protection qui présente une structure inverse correspondant à la structure irrégulière de la couche adhésive et qui est pressée sur la couche adhésive pour que la structure inverse et la structure irrégulière située sur la couche adhésive soient en contact l'une avec l'autre. La couche adhésive comprend un polymère réticulé et conserve la structure irrégulière juste après le collage de la feuille adhésive sur le support adhérent, puis la structure irrégulière se déforme et la surface de contact augmente jusqu'à atteindre 92 %, ou bien la couche adhésive comprend un composant de matrice contenant un polymère adhésif et des microsphères élastiques qui sont dispersées dans ledit composant de matrice et dont le diamètre en volume moyen se situe entre 10 et 100 νm.

Abstract: A process and assembly regulate the draining of wort fluid from a lauter tun in a beer brewing process.  The lauter process parameters are determined by constructional data, personal expertise, theoretical analysis and/or dynamic evaluation of the control values, measured dimensions, and preliminary values determined. This information and data is incorporated as a series of equations in a mathematical model linking one or more measured values, one or more lauter tun control values, and one or more output values. The values are detected and evaluated using the model during the course of the lauter process. At pre-determined intervals, a comparison is made between the values predicted based on the preliminary values, and the actual values measured. Using the mathematical model, suitable parameters are then varied as required to optimise the process.

Abstract: Each pixel of the raw data is annotated with geographic position and observation geometry for automatic recognition of pre-defined classes and then pre-classified. A correction calculation is performed using turbidity mask to convert uncorrected reflectances. In the process, a current and essentially complete supplementary data is then incorporated to describe the atmospheric condition. The correction process consist of two partial processes combined as main modules Detection of Reference Areas (DERA) for detection/identification of dark significant spectral behavior areas and Correction of Atmosphere (CORA). Both modules access a database (DABA) with stored methods and parameters, providing the result in the form of a pixel image of the atmosphere-corrected ground reflectance with incorporated supplementary data, anisotropic reflectance characteristics of different ground type classes and terrain elevations.

Abstract: A processor (100) is provided that is a programmable digital signal processor (DSP) with variable instruction length, offering both high code density and easy programming. Architecture and instruction set are optimized for low power consumption and high efficiency execution of DSP algorithms, such as for wireless telephones, as well as pure control tasks. A trace FIFO (800) is provided for tracing a sequence of instruction addresses to assist with software or hardware debugging. In order to conserve space, only the addresses of an instruction just before (M+K, P+Q) and just after (P, R) a discontinuity are stored in the trace FIFO. A sequence of instruction lengths (SEC_LPC) is also stored in the trace FIFO so that the sequence of instruction addresses can be reconstructed by interpolating between two discontinuity points (P to P+Q). <IMAGE>
