Abstract: A tampon is proposed, with an insertion end and a rear end, made from a pressed absorbent strip (2) and a withdrawal string (3) running out of the rear end.  In order to achieve short production times during manufacture of the tampon, the withdrawal string (3) is placed around the strip (2) in the shape of a loop 4, and the strip (2) is provided with a fold (16, 17) at each side of the loop (4). In terms of a method suitable for producing a tampon, the following steps are pro-posed: a)    cutting the absorbent strip (2) to size, b)    placing a withdrawal string (3) around the strip (2) in the shape of a loop (4), c)    pressing the strip (2) between jaws (7) which can be moved towards one another forming a fold (16, 17) in the strip (2) on each side of the loop (4).

Title: Power supply for radio frequency heating apparatus
Inventor: RICHARDSON ROBERT
IPC: H05B6/68
Filed: 2008-05-30
Granted: 2016-07-05
Abstract: A power supply for radio frequency heating apparatus is described. The power supply includes a first switched mode power supply (SMPS) connected in series to a second SMPS by a DC bus. A capacitor is arranged between the outputs of the first SMPS and inputs of the second SMPS to act as a smoothing capacitor for the first SMPS  and to supply pulse energy to the second SMPS. The second SMPS has an output connected to an input of a step-up transformer and an output of the step-up transformer is connected to an input of a rectifier connectable to the RF generator. An input of the first SMPS is connectable to a prime power supply to maintain a high power factor with low harmonic content while setting an operating voltage and peak current level for the RF generator. The second SMPS  is arranged to feed the step-up transformer and is arranged to operate with a variable duty cycle and/or variable frequency to provide average power control of the RF  generator. The second SMPS is rapidly switched off on detection of a power surge through the RF  generator.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour fournir une synchronisation de transmission discontinue (DTX) multidébit adaptative et large bande (AMR-WB) améliorée. Selon divers modes de réalisation, l'indication du début d'une trame de données vocales inactives est signalée au décodeur par un drapeau de détection d'activité vocale (VAD) envoyé un nombre de trames prédéterminé avant le démarrage de la période DTX, c'est-à-dire avant la réception de la trame SID_FIRST. Lorsque le drapeau VAD indique une trame de données vocales actives ou lorsque le drapeau VAD est inactif pendant un nombre de trames inférieur au nombre prédéterminé, la trame NO_DATA reçue peut être classée avec un haut niveau de fiabilité comme trame de données vocales actives, c'est-à-dire considérée comme signalisation déclenchée par l'émetteur, le réseau ou le terminal, et peut être remplacée par une trame SPEECH_LOST. Lorsque le drapeau VAD reste inactif pendant huit trames ou plus, la trame NO_DATA est classée comme DTX.

Abstract: A system and method detect when a product container from which a product is dispensed is empty or nearly empty, and provides a notification of the product status. The system includes a load cell that deflects at a first rate of distance per unit load when a load less than a critical load is positioned to be weighed by the load cell, and a load cell bracket positioned such that the free end of the load cell contacts the load cell bracket when a load substantially equal to or greater than the critical load is positioned to be weighed by the load cell. The load cell bracket may prevent the load cell from further deflection, or it may permit deflection of the load cell at a second rate of distance per unit load when the load cell is in contact with the load cell bracket. The system may generate an out- of -product notification when the amount of product dispensed is substantially equal to zero, a low product notification when the amount of the product remaining is less than a threshold weight or a proof-of-delivery notification.

Abstract: A vessel for housing an organ such as lungs from a mammal ex-vivo, for evaluation or preservation.  A liquid solution suitable for evaluation or preservation of the lungs surrounds the organ, at least partly. The solution is circulated via an outlet and an inlet. Two pressure chambers are ananged between the walls of the vessel and the organ. A gas is introducible to the pressure chamber in order to expand the pressure chamber for occupying the spaces sunounding the organ. Then, the pressure inside the pressure chambers is increased in order to push the solution to a higher level so that the organ is immersed in the solution without necessitating addition of further solution. Alternatively, the vessel is exposed to an under pressure and the pressure chambers are open to the atmosphere. In a further alternative embodiment, a solution collection space has variable volume.

Abstract: A translucent area (Z2) is formed in the element (14) by applying a substance (24) that transparentizes its substrate (12). Thus, the method includes a step of applying a substance (20) that impermeabilizes the substrate (12) over a first area (Z1) on a first side (F1) of the substrate, surrounding a second area (Z2) devoid of the impermeabilizing substance (20). The impermeabilizing substance (20) prevents impregnation of the substrate (12) by the transparentizing substance (24) in the first area (Z1). The method then includes a step of applying the transparentizing substance (24) to at least the second area (Z2) so as to impregnate the substrate (12) in order to make it translucent in this area (Z2). The first (Z1) and second (Z2) areas form first (18) and second (22) patterns respectively, making up an image that can be observed from both sides (F1, F2) of the substrate (12).

Abstract: Polycrystalline compacts include hard polycrystalline materials comprising in situ nucleated smaller grains of hard material interspersed and inter-bonded with larger grains of hard material. The average size of the larger grains may be at least about 250 times greater than the average size of the in situ nucleated smaller grains. Methods of forming polycrystalline compacts include nucleating and catalyzing the formation of smaller grains of hard material in the present of larger grains of hard material, and catalyzing the formation of inter-granular bonds between the grains of hard material. For example, nucleation particles may be mixed with larger diamond grains, a carbon source, and a catalyst. The mixture may be subjected to high temperature and high pressure to form smaller diamond grains using the nucleation particles, the carbon source, and the catalyst, and to catalyze formation of diamond-to-diamond bonds between the smaller and larger diamond grains.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a martensitic stainless steel that includes a step in which an ingot of the steel is remelted under a layer of slag, a subsequent step in which the ingot is cooled and at least one austenitic thermal cycle consisting in heating the ingot above the austenitic temperature thereof, followed by a cooling step. During each of the cooling steps, if the cooling step is not followed by an austenitic thermal cycle, the ingot is maintained at a holding temperature within the ferrite-pearlite transformation nose region for a holding time greater than that required to transform the austenite as completely as possible into a ferrite-pearlite structure in the ingot at the holding temperature, whereby the ingot is maintained at the holding temperature once the temperature of the coolest point in the ingot has reached said holding temperature. Moreover, during each of the cooling steps, if the cooling step is followed by an austenitic thermal cycle, before the minimum temperature of the ingot drops below the martensitic transformation start temperature Ms, the ingot is either: maintained at a temperature above the heating-induced austenitic transformation finish temperature Ac3 for the entire duration between these two austenitic thermal cycles, or maintained at the holding temperature within the ferrite-pearlite transformation nose region, as above.
