A porous, nonwoven fabric made from bonded fibers and/or filaments is provided, and a continuous film or layer of a liquid radiation curable resin is applied to the fabric surface. The liquid film is subjected to radiation to cure the liquid into a solid film bonded to the surface of the fabric. The film renders the fabric impervious to liquids but allows passage of liquid vapor, and the technique...

A vehicle diagnosing apparatus diagnoses a vehicle by being connected to an electronic control unit which is mounted on the vehicle and by receiving data, via the electronic control unit, from various sensors mounted on the vehicle. The judging result of each judging step of the diagnosing program can be arbitrarily set. The diagnosing program is then performed according to the judging result set ...

A method for acquiring data from voxels in a contour of tissue includes positioning the tissue in a magnetic field. For the present method, a z-gradient is imposed on the contour tissue to spread the spectrum of all of the voxels over a same range of Larmor frequencies. Additionally, voxels in the contour tissue are selectively encoded with different x-gradients and y-gradients to distinguish the ...

In an enhanced partial packet discard (PPD) methodology, if an end-of-packet cell is discarded for non-PPD reasons, all non-end-of-packet cells of the immedi ately following packet are discarded. When an end-of-packet cell may validly be discar ded, a switch faced with an end-of-packet cell may discard that cell if the last cell admitted to the buffer was an end-of-packet cell. To reduce the likel...

An inflatable dunnage bag comprises a first inflatable inner bag comprising an inflatable bladder surrounded by a pair of paper plies, and a second outer bag comprising two sets of paper plies disposed upon opposite sides of the first inner bag. The two sets of paper plies comprising the second outer bag are longitudinally offset with respect to each other so as to form flap members on first ends ...

A system and method for dispensing a fuel derived from one or more fuels having different octane ratings respectively stored in a plurality of storage tanks. The fuels are passed from their respective tanks to a mixing zone for mixing to form a blended fuel. The blended fuel is passed from the mixing zone to a dispensing nozzle while the octane rating of the blended fuel is sensed. The flow of eac...

A reading beam spot edge optical reproducing method and apparatus for the same for reading recorded information stored in the form of optical marks smaller in size than the size of the spot of a readout beam and reproducing such information data signals created by each individual recorded single optical data mark by scanning the sets of such readable marks of the optical recorded medium with readi...

A plastics material which contains a pigment composition comprising a pigment ha ving adsorbed on its surface, or as a physical mixture, up to 10% by weight, based on the total weight of pigment composition of a coding compound which is a compound containing azo, azomethine or polycyclic chromophore and which has an absorption spectrum and a Raman spectrum different from that of the pigment.

L'invention se rapporte à un réseau à longues périodes dans une fibre optique. Ce réseau est destiné à permettre la réalisation d'un filtre a couplage de modes. Il est particulièrement caractérisé en ce qu'il présente des variations périodiques du diamètre de la fibre optique et une symétrie de révolution.; A long-interval grating in an optical fiber is designed to enable the making of a mode-coup...
