  • Publication number: 20150238057
    Abstract: A roll of centrally fed wipes includes a reinforced portion for facilitating threading of a dispensing opening in a dispenser. The reinforced portion includes a branched tag including at least two legs and a connecting end where the legs are connected and which connecting end is arranged to be the leading portion of the reinforced portion. A point of each leg includes resilient fastening means arranged to fold at least partly when the point is pushed through the fabric of the wipes and arranged to return at least partly to its original state in order to hinder a return of the fastening means through the fabric for load bearing purposes.

  • Publication number: 20090063846
    Abstract: A secure digital content delivery system includes a content provider and a content user. The content provider delivers encrypted content to the content user in response to delivery requests. The content provider generates encryption algorithms on the fly and encrypts the content prior to delivery, using a different encryption algorithm and key for each content delivery. The content user subsequently requests access permission from the content provider, to access the encrypted content. The content provider grants access by generating an executable decryption module on the fly and providing the executable decryption module to the content user. The content user decrypts the content and accesses it on the fly, using the executable decryption module. The accessed content is then re-encrypted using a different encryption algorithm and key, to preserve the integrity of the secure content delivery system.

  • Patent number: 6998451
    Abstract: A process for making polyolefins is disclosed. The process comprises polymerizing an olefin in the presence of an activator, an organometallic complex, and an aluminum phosphate support. The complex comprises a Group 3 to 10 transition metal and an indenoindolyl ligand that is bonded to the transition metal. The use of the aluminum phosphate support in combination with the indenoindolyl complex provides an unexpected boost in catalyst activity when compared with other common supports. When a combination of olefins is used, good comonomer incorporation is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20040167857
    Abstract: A secure digital content delivery system includes a content provider and a content user. The content provider delivers encrypted content to the content user in response to delivery requests. The content provider generates encryption algorithms on the fly and encrypts the content prior to delivery, optionally using a different encryption algorithm and key for each content delivery. The content user subsequently requests access permission from the content provider, to access the encrypted content. The content provider grants access by generating an executable decryption module on the fly and providing the executable decryption module to the content user. The content user decrypts the content and accesses it on the fly, using the executable decryption module. The accessed content is then re-encrypted using a different encryption algorithm and key, to preserve the integrity of the secure content delivery system.
