Patent number: 6505285Abstract: One or more embodiments of the invention provide for a SEG (segment) subsystem of a parallel database extension (PDE) that provides services for creating, manipulating, and destroying access to data segments in address space. The SEG subsystem works with transient segments (also referred to as scratch segments) that are created as offsets in a “well-known” file created during initialization of the PDE. The offsets are stored in objects/elements in a queue in the virtual address space of the SEG subsystem. Upon partitioning addressable memory into one or more scratch segments, obtaining the offsets for the scratch segments, and mapping the offsets into the SEG system's virtual address space, the physical memory is locked. When the scratch segments are needed, an element/object from the queue containing the appropriate size scratch segment is mapped into the requestor's address space.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2000Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Sorana Rabinovici, Daniel H.

Patent number: 6171427Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a single face corrugated web in which a steam cloud is injected between the corrugated medium web and the liner web directly at the line along which the webs converge. This type of steam injection allows faster corrugator speeds without sacrificing bonding quality. An adhesive slurry of water and starch granules is applied to the flute tips to form glue lines on the corrugated web prior to the convergence of the webs. The injected steam cloud directed at the web convergence line adds heat without promoting premature dehydration to facilitate proper conditions for effective cooking of the adhesive slurry to thoroughly gelatinize the adhesive. In some applications, dry steam is preferred because dry steam does not significantly interfere with subsequent dehydration of the adhesive gel during the formation of the initial green bond.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1998Date of Patent: January 9, 2001Assignee: Marquip, Inc.Inventors: David W.

Patent number: 4126502Abstract: Pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising an edible web having deposited thereon or at least partially thereon a particulate medicament, the webs being thereafter fabricated and finished to pharmaceutically elegant solid dosage forms having no medicament exposed on an exterior surface. The dosage forms have a consistency of release of medicament which can be controlled to exacting specifications. The disclosed solid dosage forms are prepared by high speed automated equipment and the process by which they are made is characterized by non-destructive quality control analysis and performance evaluation both conducted on-line and integrated into the manufacturing operation. Included in the scope of the disclosed invention are certain apparatus and methods of manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1977Date of Patent: November 21, 1978Assignee: Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.Inventors: Dennis J. Dabal, Joseph J. Williams

Patent number: RE29272Abstract: A water resistant corrugated paperboard material is prepared wherein the paperboard components (medium and liner or liners) are each coated on both sides with a thermoplastic film which acts as a water barrier and a water resistant adhesive for bonding the components together. The corrugated medium is also pretreated with an internal size treatment to prevent edge wicking, and, for the purpose of corrugating the medium without deleteriously affecting the thermoplastic film, the corrugating rolls are preheated to a temperature slightly less than the melting point of the thermoplastic film while a lubricating material is simultaneously applied to either the corrugating rolls or the medium at the corrugating nip.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1976Date of Patent: June 21, 1977Assignee: Westvaco CorporationInventors: Harold L. Hintz, Joseph T. Webb
