Patent number: 7169400Abstract: A lotion includes a micro-emulsion composition, which is liquid at room temperature and undergoes a phase change to a semi-solid or solid upon contact with a substrate. The micro-emulsion composition can include a polar emollient, a non-polar emollient, a non-ionic surfactant, and a co-surfactant. The invention also includes a substrate treated with the lotion.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2002Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: Fort James CorporationInventors: Phuong Van Luu, David W.

Patent number: 7038319Abstract: A semiconductor chip package with reduced cross-talk between adjacent signals in a layer of a carrier is disclosed. A first pair of conductors for carrying a first signal is provided in a layer of the carrier. A second pair of conductors for carrying a second signal is provided adjacent to the first pair of conductors in the layer, where the first and second pairs of conductors are configured such that cross-talk between the first and second pairs of conductors is substantially minimized, without increasing the size of the package. The height of the first pair of conductors is shorter than the second pair of conductors. Alternatively, the first and second pairs of conductors are configured so that they evenly affect each other. The chip package thus reduces the cross-talk without compromising the density of the interconnections in the package or resulting in an increase in the size of the package.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2003Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Patrick H. Buffet, Charles S. Chiu, Jon D. Garlett, Louis L. Hsu, Brian J. Schuh

Patent number: 6987761Abstract: A data communication controller processes incoming data frames. The controller includes a pre-processing block for receiving data frames and a frame processing unit coupled to the pre-processing block. The pre-processing block is configured to compare header fields of a current frame with header fields of a previous frame. The pre-processing block provides an output signal to the frame processing unit on the basis of the comparison of the header fields of the current and previous frames. The controller may operate in accordance with the Fiber Channel protocol, and the output signal may include bits to indicate that the current frame is of the same exchange, of the same sequence, and is next in sequence relative to the previous frame.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2002Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert M. Bunce, Louis T. Fasano, Christos J. Georgiou, Kevin G. Kramer, Brian J. Schuh

Patent number: 6896768Abstract: An ultra soft, bulky, multi-ply tissue having low overall sidedness and a geometric mean tensile strength of less than about 800 g/3? wherein an embossed ply has a TMI sidedness of at least about 0.45 and an embossed area of at least about 2%, which is capable of being made from non-premium furnish, and method for making such products are disclosed. An ultra soft, bulky, multi-ply tissue having low overall sidedness and a geometric mean tensile strength of less than about 35 g/3? per lb. of basis weight wherein an embossed ply has a TMI sidedness of at least about 0.45 and an embossed area of at least about 2%, which is capable of being made from non-premium furnish, and method for making such products are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2002Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignee: Fort James CorporationInventors: John H.

Patent number: 6877048Abstract: An apparatus and method for dynamically allocating memory between inbound and outbound paths of a networking protocol handler so as to optimize the ratio of a given amount of memory between the inbound and outbound buffers is presented. Dedicated but sharable buffer memory is provided for both the inbound and outbound processors of a computer network. Buffer memory is managed so as to dynamically alter what portion of memory is used to receive and store incoming data packets or to transmit outgoing data packets. Use of the present invention reduces throttling of data rate transmissions and other memory access bottlenecks associated with conventional fixed-memory network systems.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2002Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark R. Bilak, Robert M. Bunce, Steven C. Parker, Brian J. Schuh

Patent number: 6834365Abstract: An integrated circuit real-time data tracing apparatus for analyzing microprocessor based computer systems for monitoring, in real-time, parameters sufficient to define the load and store operations information that the embedded core controller may assert, and process information during events. Integral on this single chip apparatus is a data trace unit designed to access control, address, and data signal lines required to monitor the embedded core controller's activities; perform data tracing independent of instruction tracing; synchronize with an instruction trace stream; allow for selection of multiple ranges for data tracing; report lost events to a FIFO array; and, output strobe signals to give a cycle accurate indication of when an event has been captured.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2001Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas J. Bardsley, Robert M. Bunce, Timothy M. Kemp, Brian J. Schuh
