Abstract: A feminine hygiene article comprising a film having at least a first layer and an optional second layer, the first layer comprising at least 25 wt. %, based on the total weight of the first layer, of an ethylene acrylate copolymer and less than 75 wt. %, based on the total weight of the first layer, of a polyolefin is disclosed. The first layer may have a gloss measured by ASTM D2457 at 45° C. below 30% and a drapeability measured according to WSP 90.3 less than or equal to 10.0 gf in both the machine or cross direction. The ethylene acrylate copolymer may contain from 16-35 wt. %, based on the total weight of the ethylene acrylate copolymer, acrylate. A feminine hygiene article comprising a soft film of non plastic appearance but with high tensile strength, low elongation along with high tear and puncture resistance, and high modulus can thus be obtained.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing rotation and connectivity between two members comprises an outer sleeve extending between first and second ends having an inner surface and having a central axis extending lengthwise therethrough, a first end cylindrical bearing, locatable within the outer sleeve along the central axis, the first end cylindrical bearing having an inner surface and a second end cylindrical bearing, locatable within the outer sleeve along the central axis, the second end cylindrical bearing having an inner surface. The apparatus further includes an inner sleeve, locatable within the first end cylindrical bearing along the central axis, the inner sleeve having outer and inner surfaces and a rotatable connector, locatable within the inner sleeve, for rotatably connecting an input and an output through the apparatus.

Abstract: A system for facilitating traffic congestion control, comprising traffic related sensors and a system server and database, adapted to receive traffic information from the traffic related sensors and facilitate substantially real time traffic control decision making algorithms in accordance with the traffic information, where the server includes a file with instructions to execute commands to enable execution of the traffic control decisions, the system being operable to receive input information from vehicle control devices and transmit output information to the vehicle control devices in accordance with the traffic control decisions.

Abstract: The Diversified Semantic Mapping Engine (DSME) exploits user-defined word and document class designations to differentially formalize the semantic content of a language source. The coordination of these classes, especially when based upon naturally occurring classes in the language, such as part-of-speech, provides a rich, machine readable and automatically generated semantic map of the language source for use in diverse applications.

Abstract: Intrabuccal device includes two shells (2, 3) made of thermoformed plastic material, the first of which respectively covers the superior arch, and the second of which covers the inferior arch of the oral cavity. This device is provided with (rings and arms) (4a, 4b, 13a, 13b) that act on the said shells (2, 3) and can generate a mandibular propulsion force oriented in the direction of the mandibular propulsion and in the posteroanterior sense, so as to keep a shift of the mandible to the front of the maxilla, while allowing lateral movements.

Abstract: An exhaust assembly for a jet powerplant of a supersonic airplane comprising a rear structure fitted with a thrust reverser. The rear structure includes a primary multi-flap nozzle of variable cross-section situated downstream of a primary duct, a secondary multi-flap nozzle of variable cross-section situated downstream of a secondary duct enclosing the primary duct and a fairing enclosing the secondary duct and fitted with a throat downstream of an exhaust orifice of the secondary nozzle, the throat being followed by a diverging portion. The thrust reverser comprises two eyelids affixed in a pivotable manner to the fairing, one on each side to of an axial plane of symmetry. The eyelids are movable between an active, thrust-reversal position wherein the eyelids project transversely into a gas jet downstream of the fairing to deflect the gas jet in a forward direction for thrust-reversal and an inactive, forward-thrust position wherein the eyelids are situated in an extension of the fairing.

Abstract: Anatomical intrabuccal respiratory mouthpiece in two parts, namely:a first extraoral part (1) having a first extrabuccal connection piece (2) intended to be joined to the gas source, and a second intrabuccal connection piece (5) whose outlet orifice is oblate (6);a second part (10) forming a flexible orthesis, associated with the intrabuccal connection piece (5), including:vertical vestibules (11, 12) matching the anatomical shape of the vestibules, being the upper (11) and lower (12) vestibules, respectively;upper (25) and lower (26) vertical lingual rims, respectively;a plane interocclusal vestibulo-lingual pad (20) which joins the vestibules (11, 12) and the rims (25, 26) and is arranged horizontally at the junction between the upper and lower parts, the thickness of said plane pad (20) being slightly greater than that of the interocclusal gap of the jaws in the rest position;characterized:in that the oblate intrabuccal (5) outlet orifice (6) opens out within the thickness of the vestibulo-lingual pad (20)

Abstract: An apparatus including a measuring head, equipped with light sources for lighting one part of a bodywork of which the color is to be reproduced with a receiver for picking up the light reflected in each of a plurality of preset wavelength in order to produce a signal representing the reflectance of the surface in each wavelength. The apparatus also includes a device for calculating, for each wavelength, the reflectance for any combination of basic shades or bases from among a predetermined set off bases, and apparatus for continuously comparing the measured reflectance with the calculated reflectance in order to find a suitable paint formulation. A starting formulation given by the particular combination of bases corresponding to the color reference of the bodywork to be repaired may be modified, until the difference between the calculated reflectance values and measured reflectance values reaches a minimum or becomes smaller than a preset threshold.
