  • Publication number: 20060061553
    Abstract: This invention describes a method for a new methodology for double-phase keys used to minimize pressing-key errors in electronic devices (e.g., portable communication devices, mobile phones, etc.). During the first phase, the key is pressed, e.g., half-way without actually sending the information to an active application. When the user presses the key half-way, the operating system of the electronic device provides to the user an audio feedback about the identity of the pressed key. The user can then either move the finger from the key (if it is not an intended key) or press the key all the way down (if it is the intended key). When the key is pressed down fully (the second phase), the appropriate active application actually receives the intended message/command (e.g., a number/character used in the active application) and the electronic device provides to the user an audio feedback confirmation of the fully-pressed key.

  • Patent number: 6994771
    Abstract: A method for treating a web of paper or board with a wetting substance or calendering the web prior to the cylinder dryer section of a paper- or boardmaking machine while the solids content of the web is still very low, typically in the range of 10–60%, wherein the web can be conveyed when so desired fully supported from the wire section of the paper- or boardmaking machine up to the winder, while simultaneously utilizing the quality benefits obtained from a controlled reduction of the web moisture content and dewatering of the same. The web is conveyed supported by a transfer belt (9) through at least one web surface treatment apparatus such as a coater station (S1B) or a calender prior to passing the web to the first dryer cylinder group (1) of the paper- or boardmaking machine. One nip (11, 13) supported by a transfer belt (9) is suitable for dewatering simultaneously with the application of a treatment substance to the web.

  • Patent number: 6934911
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying a plurality of icons on the display of a mobile terminal are provided. Messages are first sorted by comparing characteristics of the messages with first context category values. The messages may be assigned to discrete groups. The messages within each of the groups are then sorted by comparing characteristics of the messages with second context category values. Icons are assigned to the messages and displayed on a display of the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20050075097
    Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a memory storing application software and data that is descriptive of the use of the mobile terminal, a display and a controller that is coupled to the memory. The controller is responsive to the application software and to at least a sub-set of the stored data for visualizing on the display, in a graphical form, the use of the mobile station over a period of time. The controller preferably constructs a temporally-based visualization of the use of the mobile station, such as a timeline visualization of the use of the mobile station. The controller may further be responsive to the application software and to at least the sub-set of the stored data for automatically deriving a content of a user's web log (blog). A method is also disclosed to operate a mobile terminal having a memory storing application software and data that is descriptive of the use of the mobile terminal, and that further has a display and a controller coupled to the memory.

  • Patent number: 6562196
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for optimizing the degree of flocculation in a headbox. The degree of flocculation is measured continuously from a stock flow (M1)/stock flows by means of a detector (R1) of flocculation, and the detector (R1) transmits a signal to a regulator (H1), which regulates the metering of retention agent (10) and/or fillers (11) and/or auxiliary chemicals (12) into the stock flow (M1)/stock flows continuously on the basis of the signal to an optimal level, which stock flow/flows is/are passed into the headbox (P1).

  • Patent number: 6506380
    Abstract: The present invention provides method of making a protein hydrolysate formula and protein hydrolysate formulas made thereby for downregulating hypersensitivity and for promoting gut immune barrier, and methods of preventing or treating allergies, especially cow's milk allergy by combining the protein with probiotic gastrointestinal bacteria, especially Lactobacilli. The probiotics make it possible to influence the immunological balance, whereby allergy can be prevented by affecting the initiation mechanism of allergy. The present invention makes it possible to develop a person's tolerance of proteins by actively promoting a tolerogenic immune response. In addition, present invention provides for administering fragments of an allergen modified by probiotic gastrointestinal bacteria in order to desensitize a immune response to systemic hyporesponsiveness.

  • Patent number: 6099909
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coating method and device for coating a size-press roll, paper or board or a corresponding moving base. The coating device comprises a revolving coating bar which rests against the moving base and extends across the machine width. The coating bar is supported in a cradle substantially over its entire length and is a large-diameter grooved bar fitted against the moving base. The coating bar spreads and smoothes a coating agent onto the moving base. The coating agent is introduced into the coating device in advance of the coating bar in the running direction of the moving base.

  • Patent number: 5484482
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for limiting the width of a coating and/or preventing damage to roll ends while coating or surface-sizing paper or an equivalent web material in a coating device in which a coating agent, such as size, coating paste or equivalent, is introduced into the coating device to an application zone defined by a coating member, a moving base, lateral seals, and a front wall and spread onto the moving base by the coating member which is loaded against the moving base. Liquid jets are sprayed into the areas outside the coating width, substantially over the width defined by the lateral seals and the roll ends, either onto the moving base before the coating member in the running direction of the moving base or directly into the nip formed by the moving base and the coating member. The liquid jets lubricate the nip and dilute the coating agent that has entered into the areas outside the coating width.

  • Patent number: 5383968
    Abstract: A method and device for keeping a coating rod and a rod cradle in a bar coater clean and for preventing leakage of the lubrication and/or cooling water used in the bar coater is disclosed. The invention is intended for a bar coater in which the coating rod is, supported revolvingly in a rod cradle substantially over its entire length. The rod cradle is attached to the frame constructions of the coater. The rod cradle is also provided with at least one groove substantially parallel to the coating rod and open towards said coating rod, in which grooves(s) water is circulated to lubricate, cleanse and/or cool the coating rod and the rod cradle. The coating rod is loaded towards the base to be coated by loading the rod cradle.

  • Patent number: 5286526
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for coating of a moving base, such as the face of a back-up roll, paper or board web, or equivalent, with a coating agent. In the method, a blade coater is employed in which a coating blade included in the blade coater and installed in a blade holder is loaded in the area between the blade holder and the tip of the coating blade toward the moving base by means of a loading member. The coating blade forms a substantially small angle in relation to the moving base. The coating quantity applied onto the moving base is regulated by adjusting the blade angle and/or the loading of the coating blade. The coating blade is loaded towards the moving base, in the area between said loading member and the tip of the coating blade.
