Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: An enhanced flexibility fastener product (30) has a base (35) and hook elements (34a, 34b, 34c) integrally molded with and extending from the base (35). Hump-shaped formations (36a, 36b, 36c) (referred to as "rip stops"), that are integrally molded with base (35), are offset relative to the hook elements to reduce widthwise stiffness of the fastener product (30). The edge margins (31) of the fastener (30) are feathered in that they taper or otherwise reduce in thickness over an extended distance, preferably from at or near the hooks (34a, 34b, 34c) to the edge, resulting in a softer, less irritating fastener tape (30). Fasteners products according to the invention are particularly advantageous on disposable absorbent garments (10) such as diapers, sanitary napkins, and other articles of wear which come into contact with the user's skin.

Title: Remineralizing products and methods for teeth
Inventor: USEN NORMAN
IPC: A61K8/00
Filed: 1996-08-02
Abstract: Products and methods are provided for the remineralization of lesions formed in the subsurfaces of teeth and/or mineralization of tubules in exposed dentin of teeth, wherein the products generally contain at least one water-soluble calcium salt, at least one divalent metal salt other than calcium salt, at least one water-soluble phosphate salt, and, optionally, at least one water-soluble fluoride salt. The water-soluble salts are then mixed to form an aqueous mixed solution having a pH of from about 4.5 to about 7Ø Cations released by the divalent metal salt stabilize the aqueous solution such that phosphate and calcium ions released by the salts do not react to any large extent until the product is introduced into the oral cavity and, upon introduction into the oral cavity, the ions do not rapidly precipitate. This gives the cations and anions sufficient time to diffuse through the tooth surface to the lesion(s) and/or tubules where the ions form a precipitate, thereby remineralizing the lesion(s) and/or mineralizing the tubule(s).

Title: Tunable wavelength converter
Inventor: GLANCE BERNARD
IPC: H04B10/17
Filed: 1998-08-18
Abstract: A  tunable  wavelength  converter  generates  a selectable  wavelength  for  an  optical  signal.    The tunable wavelength converter includes an input  active section, an output active section, an interferometer and an optical wavelength selector.   The above components are integrated on a substrate between two mirrors. An optical  input  signal  at  a  first  wavelength  is  input through the input active section which in conjunction with the output section and the interferometer controls the  amplitude  of  an  optical  signal  at  a  second wavelength  propagating  in  the  laser  cavity.     The information  contained  in  the  amplitude  of  the  input signal  is  transferred  to  the  optical  signal  in  the interferomic  laser  cavity  and  output  by  the  output active section.   Thus,  the information of the optical input signal at the first wavelength is transferred to the optical output signal at the second wavelength.

Patent CA-2247404-A1 (CA)
Title: Multi-tool positioning system
Inventor: PAILTHORP ROBERT M
IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A multi-rate, multi-head positioner (150) receives and processes unpanelized positioning commands to actuate slow stages (56, 58) and multiple fast stages (154) that are mounted on one of the slow stages to simultaneously position multiple tools (156) relative to target locations (162) on multiple associated workpieces (152). Each of the fast stages is coupled to a fast stage signal processor (172) that provides corrected position data to each fast stage positioner to compensate for fast stage nonlinearities and workpiece placement, offset, rotation, and dimensional variations among the multiple workpieces. When cutting blind via holes in etched circuit boards (ECBs), improved throughput and process yield are achieved by making half of the tools ultraviolet ("UV") lasers, which readily cut conductor and dielectric layers, and making the other half of the tools are infrared ("IR") lasers, which readily cut only dielectric layers. The UV lasers are controlled to cut an upper conductor layer and a portion of an underlying dielectric layer, and the IR lasers are controlled to cut the remaining dielectric layer without cutting through or damaging a second underlying conductor layer. The throughput is increased by cutting conductor layers in unprocessed ECBs while concurrently cutting dielectric layers in ECBs that have already had their conductor layer cut. The process yield is increased by performing a workpiece calibration prior to each cutting step to account for any ECB placement, offset, rotation, and dimensional variations.
