  • Publication number: 20050013250
    Abstract: Described are a system, method and device to transmit data frames. A first port may transmit and receive data according to a packet based data transmission protocol at a first nominal data transmission rate and a second port may transmit and receive data according to a stream based data transmission protocol at a second nominal data transmission rate. The second port may forward received data frames to the first port for transmission according to the packet based data transmission protocol. A pause request frame generator may periodically insert a pause request frame among the forwarded data frames on a set period based, at least in part, on a difference between the first and second nominal data transmission rates.

  • Patent number: 6803103
    Abstract: A condrapable hydrophobic nonwoven web of continuous fibers includes a hydrophobic nonwoven web of continuous fibers, and a fiber surface-modifying agent on the web to form therewith a condrapable hydrophobic web. The agent is essentially an amino-modified polydimethylsiloxane. The condrapable hydrophobic web is characterized by a substantial hydrophobicity, as measured by a strike-through of over 180 seconds and by a substantial increase in condrapability, as measured by a Handle-O-Meter decrease of at least 15% average for MD and CD.

  • Publication number: 20030179781
    Abstract: A frame-interleaving system may transmit the same data in two data streams. Frames may become fragmented switching between two data streams. The reliability of a frame-interleaving system may be improved by aligning data streams that carry the same data so that the corresponding frames in the data streams are synchronized before the data streams are switched.

  • Patent number: 6521555
    Abstract: A method of making a non-woven fibrous media, combining high vapor permeability and low liquid permeability, includes the steps of providing a non-woven fabric formed from fibers that are prematurely crystallized during fabric formation and have a wide heat of fusion range distribution, and calendering the fabric to soften the small polymer crystals therein of low heats of fusion, but not the relatively larger polymer crystals therein of relatively higher heats of fusion, thereby to retain high vapor permeability while providing low liquid permeability. The polymer is preferably isotactic polypropylene.

  • Patent number: 6436512
    Abstract: A nonwoven fabric from spun fibers wherein the density of the spun fibers in the fabric varies between strips of relatively high density and strips of relatively low density. The strips extend along the length of the fabric in the machine direction in an alternating pattern, with the high density strips separated from each other by low density strips. The alternating high density and low density strips provide the fabric with a higher percent elongation in the cross direction than in the machine direction. The alternating pattern is achieved through use of a pattern screen defining a plurality of elongated air permeable regions separated by elongated substantially or relatively air impermeable regions, the elongated regions extending in the machine direction in an alternating pattern, with the air permeable regions separated from each other by the substantially or relatively air impermeable regions.
