Abstract: An automative door latch has, in one invention, a child-safety locking switch ( 102 ) using an overcentre spring ( 110 ), for exerting extra spring bias on a lock toggle lever ( 610 ) operating the interior door lock. In another invention, a mechanical cooperation between the two lock toggle levers ( 516 ) operating interior and exterior door locking ensures that manual operation of either handle, when unlocked, to cause the corresponding lever ( 516 ) to open the door or other closure, causes the corresponding pawl release assembly ( 514, 510 ) to move the other pawl release assembly ( 514, 510 ) to its unlocked, pawl-engaging position, if that other pawl release assembly had been at its locked, pawl non-engaging position. In a third invention, a motor drives the latch bolt ( 2 ) for closing the door, through two ( 907, 908 ) segment gears which mesh for only part of the turning movement of a rotary driving and indexing mechanism ( 906 ) which also operates door opening and locking. In a fourth invention, rotary drive sequence control for a rotary driving and indexing mechanism ( 906 ) is provided by a cam guide ( 930 ) and cam frame ( 950 ), the guide having endwalls and a central stop, the cam guide being shaped in the region of the end walls to guide the cam member in a unique direction through a unique loop relative to the cam guide, such that when the cam member is released from the central stop it is moveable to either end wall and then only to the central stop and not directly to the opposite end wall.

Abstract: In one embodiment, C input audio channels are encoded to generate E transmitted audio channel(s), where one or more cue codes are generated for two or more of the C input channels, and the C input channels are downmixed to generate the E transmitted channel(s), where C>E≧1. One or more of the C input channels and the E transmitted channel(s) are analyzed to generate a flag indicating whether or not a decoder of the E transmitted channel(s) should perform envelope shaping during decoding of the E transmitted channel(s). In one implementation, envelope shaping adjusts a temporal envelope of a decoded channel generated by the decoder to substantially match a temporal envelope of a corresponding transmitted channel.

Abstract: A dual damascene process for forming conductive interconnects on an integrated circuit die. The process includes providing a layer (16) of porous, ultra low-k (ULK) dielectric material in which a via opening (30) is subsequently formed. A thermally degradable polymeric ("porogen") material (42) is applied to the side wall sidewalls of the opening (30) such that the porogen material penetrates deeply into the porous ULK dielectric material (thereby sealing the pores and increasing the density thereof). Once a conductive material (36) has been provided with the opening (30) and polished back by means of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), the complete structure is subjected to a curing step to cause the porogen material (44) with the ULK dielectric layer (16) to decompose and evaporate, thereby restoring the porosity (and low-k value) of the dielectric layer (16). Attached are a marked-up copy of the originally filed specification and a clean substitute specification in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §§1.121(b)(3) and 1.125(c). Applicant respectfully submits that the substitute specification contains no new matter.

Abstract: This invention relates to the incorporation of single and double emulsions into a cross-linking polysaccharide matrix selected from alginate and carrageenan, particularly when cured in a saline solution. Beading and extrusion were used as encapsulation processes. Particles were obtained containing 54 to 88% oil. The double emulsion is known to deliver rinse conditioner softness to the wash. The problem has been to incorporate it into a matrix that will allow redispersion in the wash. The emulsions incorporated redisperse in the same manner as they did before incorporation. The technology has been tested for a wide range of oils, however, specific combinations of oils and kappa carrageenan yield excellent particles containing high oil levels, which are suitable for incorporation into detergent powders, with good softening performance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de formation d'un copolyester aliphatique aromatique biodégradable destiné aux non-tissés. Dans un mode de réalisation d'exemple, un copolyester aliphatique-aromatique est mélangé par fusion avec un alcool de manière à déclencher une réaction d'alcoolyse, qui confère finalement au copolyester un ou plusieurs groupes terminaux hydroxyalkyles ou alkyles. Grâce à la régulation sélective des conditions d'alcoolyse (p. ex., la concentration d'alcool et de polymère, les catalyseurs, la température), on peut obtenir un copolyester aliphatique aromatique qui possède un poids moléculaire initial inférieur à celui du polymère aliphatique aromatique initial. Ces polymères à poids moléculaire plus faible possèdent également une combinaison d'un indice de fluidité plus élevé et une viscosité apparente moins élevée, ce qui est utile dans une large gamme d'applications de formation de fibres, par exemple, dans l'extrusion par soufflage de tissus en non-tissés.
