| 20080225842 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCELERATING TRANSMISSION OF DATA BETWEEN NETWORK DEVICES - A method and system for transferring data between a sender and a receiver in a packet-based network is disclosed. The method comprises establishing a data channel, establishing a feedback channel, sending data to the receiver over the data channel, sending an acknowledgment to a sender on the feedback channel at a predetermined interval, using the acknowledgment to track data sent successfully and unsuccessfully to the receiver, resending data unsuccessfully sent to the receiver, and self-tuning to optimize throughput based upon the acknowledgement and react to changing network conditions. | 09-18-2008 |

| 20110257513 | IMMOBILIZATION APPARATUS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING - An apparatus for immobilizing an anatomical feature during a magnetic resonance imaging process of the anatomical feature is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing, which defines a central opening to accommodate the anatomical feature. The apparatus further includes a coil member fixedly mounted in the housing. The coil member processes an RF signal. The apparatus further includes a first support member disposed at a side of the housing and a second support member disposed at an opposite side of the housing. The first and second support members are fixed with respect to the housing. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20090114357 | TEMPORARY WET STRENGTH SYSTEM FOR TISSUE PAPER - The invention relates to a composition comprising a (a) a temporary wet strength agent component capable of forming hemi-acetal bonds with the fibers of a tissue web to provide initial wet strength, subsequent rapid degradation of the initial wet strength when the tissue web contacts water; and (b) a sizing agent component capable of imparting water-repelling properties to the tissue web; such that the strength agent component and the sizing agent component are present in sufficient amounts so that when the composition is added to a tissue pulp slurry during a tissue-making process, tissue made from the tissue-making process exhibits a combination of (1) improved initial wet tensile, (ii) improved decay, and (iii) absorbency. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100193147 | ANIONIC FUNCTIONAL PROMOTER AND CHARGE CONTROL AGENT WITH IMPROVED WET TO DRY TENSILE STRENGTH RATIO - The invention relates to a composition comprising (a) a functional promoter comprising a water-soluble anionic polymer having a molecular weight of at least about 50,000 daltons and a molecular weight charge index value of at least about 10,000; (b) a cationic surfactant component; such that when the composition treats a fibrous substrate, in conjunction with a cationic strength agent, the treated fibrous substrate exhibits (i) a ratio of wet tensile strength to dry tensile strength ranging from about 1:5 o to about 1:2 and (ii) an increase in a ratio of wet tensile strength to dry tensile strength of at least about 10%, as compared to when the fibrous substrate is treated with the functional promoter and without a surfactant. The invention also relates to a paper product made with such a system, and method for imparting wet strength to a paper product with the functional promoter. | 08-05-2010 |
