An improved control system for electrically adjustable shock absorbers features a fault detector, a system-stop unit, and optional indicators and voltage-supply stabilization systems. The fault detector times the interval between an adjustment command from the operator and completion of the requested shock absorber adjustment, which is itself controlled by a feed-back system. If the adjustment is ...

In a honeycomb body of ceramic material having a multiplicity of triangular cells, the enclosing sides (1 to 4) should be closed but, in an assembly into a honeycomb block, form additional surfaces exposed to flow. The honeycomb body is extruded. Two opposite enclosing sides (1, 2) have a smooth configuration by having cell walls (6) lying in one plane. The other two enclosing sides (3, 4) are con...

A plastic film having a random embossed matte finish is provided. The random embossed matte film may be wound very easily into rolls and the roll contour achieved has superior uniformity. In addition, the film provides relatively equal tape adhesion and gloss properties on both sides which make it especially suitable for use in articles such as disposable diapers or underpads. Another advantageous...

A soft, perf-embossed, absorbent composite structure is provided which comprises an absorbing layer of a fibrous web containing at least about 200 percent by weight of superabsorbent and a wicking layer. The composite structure has a Taber stiffness value less than about 30.

A sanitary napkin (10) is disclosed for providing a convenient means for disposal at minimum cost to the consumer. The napkin is capable of being rolled or folded and self-sealed for disposal and includes one or more flaps (12)(14) extending transversely from one end of the backing layer (20). The flap or flaps are wrapped around the edges (50)(51) of the rolled or folded napkin and sealed by adhe...

The present invention relates to a packaging unit which is formed by folding an elongated sheet of material (1) having at least two mutually parallel edges, and which includes a container part (11) and an openable lid or cover flap (8) connected thereto. The inventive packaging unit is characterized in that the sheet (1) has provided along the mutually parallel edges thereof a continuous or broken...

PURPOSE:To enable an intense current to be supplied without obstructing high integration by a method wherein a piezo-electric body layer and an electrode are successively formed on a channel region comprising super conductor layer. CONSTITUTION:A channel region C and source drain regions A, B comprising Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductive layer 9 are formed on a silicon wafer 8. When the superconductive lay...

PURPOSE: To improve the quality of correction of a curvature, using an excimer laser for producing a beam having a cross-sectional shape and having a long width and a low height, and by providing an optically enlarging means for enlarging the height and a beam rotating means for rotating thus enlarged beam about the axis thereof in a light beam uniforming means. CONSTITUTION: Excimer laser emits a...
