Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a computer unit configured to execute the neural network. Parameters of the neural network are stored in a first memory. Data supplied at the input of the neural network or generated by the neural network are stored in a second memory. A first barrel shifter circuit transmits data from the second memory to the computer unit. A second barrel shifter circuit delivers data generated during the execution of the neural network by the computer unit to the second memory. A control unit is configured to control the computer unit, the first and second barrel shifter circuits, and accesses to the first memory and to the second memory.

Abstract: The invention relates to a disposable absorbent pant comprising a central chassis and elasticized front and rear belt. The central chassis comprises an absorbent core with an absorbent layer. The absorbent layer comprises a continuous channel formed therein.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the article, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent core includes a superabsorbent polymer. The article further includes an acquisition-distribution layer; and at least one channel positioned within a layer located between the topsheet and the backsheet, the at least one channel being substantially free of fibers and superabsorbent polymer. An indentation occurs in at least one of the topsheet and the backsheet that correspond to the at least one channels when the article is loaded with fluid.

Abstract: A blend of at least 35 percent alumina and not more than 45 percent calcium oxide is blended with sand at a sand-to-cement ratio preferably 1.8 and applied to the interior of a metal pipe, for example, by means of centrifugal application and compression. Following which the resulting lining is exposed to moisture for several hours which exposure step is in turn followed by an exposure to warm steam also for several hours.

Abstract: A dispersion of a polymer such as an acrylic resin, and of a surface-acting resin, such as a melamine resin, is added to a cement mortar having a sand-to-cement ratio of 1 to 3 and a water-to-cement ratio of 0.25 to 0.35, the resin being preferably approximately 10 parts by weight per 100 parts of cement. This blend is applied to the interior of a pipe and the pipe is rotated at a speed which is gradually increased in order to produce at least approximately 20-g forces on the material for compacting same for a few minutes.
