Abstract: A carrying assembly for carrying and/or transporting planar objects is disclosed. The carrying assembly includes a handle with a cross member, a support member and a support assembly which secures a planar object within the carrying assembly.

Abstract: An audio-video broadcast apparatus has non-volatile data storage that contains a file which includes at least one of audio and video data. In addition, the audio-video broadcast apparatus has an audio-video server coupled to the non-volatile data storage. The audio-video server broadcasts contents of the file and causes the non-volatile storage to delete a portion of the file from the non-volatile storage prior to the audio-video server broadcasting all of the contents of the file. In this manner, the amount of required non-volatile storage may be greatly reduced.

Abstract: Absorbent articles, such as disposable diapers, having two waist regions and a crotch region are provided. The absorbent articles comprise a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a pair of longitudinally extending barrier cuffs. The barrier cuffs are formed from a lateral extension of the topsheet and the backsheet in at least the crotch region of the absorbent article using material that is normally discarded when the crotch area is formed. A cuff area is defined by pairs of laterally opposed cuts in the lateral extension of the topsheet and the backsheet. The cuff area is then folded and joined to the topsheet or other underlying structure to form the barrier cuff and an optional gasketing cuff.

Abstract: An apparatus for and method of drying agglomerated moist particulate material, the particles of which when dry have a very low density. Drying is effected by supporting the material on a screen within a retainer, and by applying heat to the material in contact with the screen by way of an electrical or heat exchange type heating element. Vaporized moisture is extracted by way of a vent which extends upwardly through the retainer from a position adjacent the screen, so that the vapour is caused firstly to flow down through the screen and then upwardly through the vent.

Abstract: A system for detecting, indicating, and adjusting the degree of mismatch between a transmitter and an electrical transmission line, with additional measurement of transmitter performance parameters. This system uses a three-wire transmission line sensor to generate signals proportional to the forward and reflected waves on the main transmission line. These signals are applied to a special-purpose computer which automatically calculates the standing wave ratio (SWR) on the transmission line. An adjustable matching network is included to allow adjustment of the standing wave ratio to whatever value is required for proper transmitter operation. Additional sensors generate signals which are applied to the same computer, which automatically calculates the modulation percentage of the transmitter.
