Abstract: A rearward-facing seat with safety reinforcement includes a base; a back; and an adaptive damping device behind an upper portion of the back of the seat. The adaptive damping device can be an inflatable airbag, crushable material or spring. The damping device can adapt to one or more of crash severity, crash conditions, occupant position or occupant size.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for vehicle occupant protection in unintentional roadway departure by a vehicle having at least one vehicle seat with a seat cushion mounted on a seat frame, the height of which is adjustable through a motor operated height adjustment device. Vehicle travel is monitored using a remote sensor and/or a vehicle dynamics sensor. The remote sensor detects edges of the road. The vehicle dynamics sensor determines vehicle dynamics parameters. Road edge signals and/or vehicle dynamics signals are processed to determine whether the vehicle is about to leave the road. Operation of the height adjustment device to move a seat cushion towards a crash-position is triggered in response to an off-road signal indicating that the vehicle is about to leave the road.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of bleaching pulp derived from an alkaline pulping process having a hexenuronic acid content prior to the final bleaching stage from about 1 to about 80 mmol/kg dry pulp, said process comprising three chlorine dioxide stages D0, D1, and D2, wherein the chlorine dioxide charges based on the total chlorine dioxide charge in a) D0 is from about 40 to about 60%; b) D1 is from about 30 to about 55%; c) D2 is from about 4 to about 20%, and wherein the final chlorine dioxide stage D2 is performed at a pH from about 2 to about 4.5. The invention also relates to a bleached pulp obtainable by the process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for optimizing a link latency on a communication interface in a communication network comprising a first communication network node (18) and a second communication network node (16) communicating with said first communication network node (18) on said communication interface and sending framed data packets having frame numbers to a plurality of user equipments over a radio interface. A transmission delay on said communication interface is measured and downlink data having an adjusted frame number based on said measured transmission delay is requested.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a game of the type comprising the steps of noting written information on a writing surface with the aid of a writing means. The writing surface is provided with a position-coding pattern and the writing means is a combined writing and reading unit, which continually reads its movement across the writing surface. The information is converted into digital signals and is sent via a communication system to a recipient which returns feedback on the received information. Examples of games that can be performed by means of such a method are pools, lotto, betting and various other games comprising the use of pen and paper to be carried out.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the structural state of a fiber web (1) that is being processed by a fiber web processing machine comprising a fiber web processing station (2) is described. The method comprises the steps of arranging a generator (5) and a detector (6) of a generator-detector unit (4) on opposite sides of the traveling fiber web (1) downstream of the fiber web processing station; bringing the generator to emit an ultrasonic wave; bringing the detector to receive the ultrasonic wave; sending a signal representing the received ultrasonic wave to a control unit (10); and, in the control unit, analyzing the signal and extracting a value from the signal representing a measure of the received ultrasonic wave. A system for monitoring the structural state of a fiber web is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method in connection with transfer of information, a system and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable components for transfer of information. The invention is based on the idea that a user telecommunication address is associated with a temporary telecommunication address. The temporary address, designating the server, is then sent to a service handler. The service handler sends information to said temporary telecommunication address. The server knows the coupling between the temporary address and the user address, and forwards the service handler information to the user address. By employing this concept, it is not possible for a service handler to send information directly to the user telecommunication address, since the service handler does not know said user address, but must send its information to the user address via the server, which knows the coupling between the temporary telecommunication address and the user telecommunication address.

Abstract: A system employs a code reading wand or digital pen to order items from a catalog employing item-identifying indicia which are preferably position-indicating indicia. The catalog includes items provided by plural suppliers. A single catalog order may be issued and distributed to plural suppliers by access to supplier information in a database. The catalog may be distributed with the code reading wand to promote initial use of the code reading wand and thereby aid in establishment of the technological infrastructure through immediate use of the wand. The catalog may include additional services to encourage the use of the catalog, thereby increasing catalog orders. The catalog service may be funded by charging suppliers a per order or inquiry, or periodic fee, based upon orders placed.
