  • Publication number: 20050054744
    Abstract: A method of multiphoton photosensitizing a photoreactive composition comprises irradiating the composition with light sufficient to cause simultaneous absorption of at least two photons, thereby inducing at least one acid- or radical-initiated chemical reaction where the composition is exposed to the light. The composition comprises: (a) at least one reactive species that is capable of undergoing such reaction; and (b) at least one multi-component, multiphoton photoinitiator system.

  • Patent number: 6704979
    Abstract: Method for producing elastic tapes from a fabric web having at least partially synthetic fibers or filaments, especially a nonwoven fabric web, for use in the garment industry, one or a plurality of industrially produced webs (1, 2; 16) being laid on top of one another and at their open edges (3, 4; 5, 6; 18, 19) being joined to one another and a tube (11) being formed; and wall (21) of the tube (11) is cut open slantwise, so that a new, more elastic fabric web (22) is created, which is cut to tapes (25) in the longitudinal direction (26).

  • Patent number: 6038379
    Abstract: A computer network having a number of workstations running disparate operating systems and a file server having a tape drive for backup and restore of data on the network. The file server runs a generic remote file system (GRFS) and workstations run GRFS agent programs which allow the GRFS file system to access data within a workstation having a given GRFS agent program. The GRFS file system interfaces with each GRFS agent program via a command/response paradigm, with the messages being structured to support the disparate operating systems for backup and restore, to allow data to be interchanged between the disparate operating systems, and to allow independent multiple users of the network to request simultaneously backup or restore.
