Absorbent product of pants-like shape, such as incontinence pants, comprising an elastic waist portion, an absorbent element (5), and a liquidtight outer layer (3) which is intended to enclose the absorbent element on at least that side thereof which faces away from the wearer during use of the article. Said elastic waist portion is made from an elastic first piece (1) which is essentially rectang...

A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) having asymmetrical optical confinement is described. Polarization of VCSELs having symmetrical structures tend to be unpredictable and switchable. The VCSEL of the present invention has vertically etched apertures into the top bragg mirror in order to confine the optical path into an asymmetric structure. This has the effect of locking polarization...

A digital television system which processes television information in the form of a stream data packets representing video and audio information in compressed form, such as MPEG, includes on-screen display (OSD) provisions for displaying sophisticated graphics, such as animation, by storing graphics data in a read only memory (ROM) in the same compressed form as that used for the video information...

A method, arrangement and equipment for loading or unloading roll containers. Products (5) to be loaded or unloaded are transferred by means of a substantially vertical movement into and/or out of a roll container (9).

The present inventors identified aggregation of embryoid bodies (EBs) as t he cause of the difficulty in generating large numbers of the embryonic stem cells (ES) cell-derived tissues. To counter this, the invention provides a novel bioprocess where aggregation of EBs is physically prevented, such as by an encapsulating matrix, Liquid Suspension Culture- encapsulated (LSCe). As a result, EBs can b...

The pipeline conveys a pressurized medium (D) through a bend to a postulated rupture location (7). Should rupture occur there, a safety restraint (6) prevents transverse deflection of the earlier part of the pipework. Spacing (L) between the rupture location and a fixed point (10), as measured parallel to the longitudinal axis (11) of the pipework, is significant. On rupture, the jet reaction forc...

For the stabilization of the reaction, especially, for maintaining reaction temperature, the feedback control by the feedback unit is performed for to the supply of air (, oxygen, or oxidizing agent), whereas other materials are supplied by the open-loop control according to the instruction of the flow selection unit which indicates a preset value depending on the required hydrogen production volu...

The present invention relates to a fuel cell operation method in which a fue l cell that generates power using hydrogen gas and oxidant gas as reaction gas is operated at an operating pressure that corresponds to a required power generation state. A hydrogen sensor that detects hydrogen density is provided in a vicinity of t he fuel cell, and based on values detected by the hydrogen sensor and on...

Electricity generating apparatus with an outside wood-burning furnace having a water jacket to produce steam driving a steam engine. The steam engine drives an electric generator. A heated water supply for a house or other structure may also be obtained by utilizing the spent steam from the steam engine.

A process of preparing camptothecin derivatives of formula 1 is disclosed

In a PPP terminating equipment 100 connected with a switch fabric and terminating PPP link, the PPP terminating equipment 100 has an LCP echo requirement detecting section 20 detecting whether or not a received packet is the LCP echo requirement packet, and an LCP echo response producing section 40 producing a response packet to the LCP echo requirement by rewriting the LCP header of the received ...

In the removal of internal bones in a fore-end of a split carcass the shank bone, the humerus bone and the shoulder blade are cut free by machine, so that subsequently they can easily be removed from the rest of the fore-end. A transport tool ( 27 a) is brought to grip around the free end of the shank bone. The fore-end is then pulled past cutting tools ( 1, 9, 15 ) by means of the transport tool,...
