20090191779ELASTIC LAMINATE AND METHOD OF MAKING - An elastic laminate for use as a tear resistant diaper side panel. The elastic laminate comprises an elastic substrate bonded to at least one layer of a tensioned spunbond nonwoven web comprising thermoplastic filaments comprising at least about 10% by weight polyethylene. The laminate is then incrementally stretched in the transverse direction to provide a service stretch greater than 100% and a strength ratio greater than 0.35. In one embodiment, the elastic substrate is bonded between the tensioned nonwoven webs by point bonding or hot melt adhesives. Also disclosed is a method for making an elastic laminate comprising the steps of providing at least one layer of a tensioned spunbond nonwoven web comprising thermoplastic filaments comprising at least about 10% by weight polyethylene, providing an elastic substrate, bonding the elastic substrate and the at least one layer of nonwoven web to provide an elastic laminate, and incrementally stretching the laminate in the transverse direction to provide a service stretch greater than 100% and a strength ratio greater than 0.35.07-30-2009

20110151185EXTRUSION COATED PERFORATED NONWOVEN WEB AND METHOD FOR MAKING - A method for making an extrusion coated perforated nonwoven web. The method comprises the steps of extruding a molten polyethylene coating onto a nonwoven web, and aperturing the molten polyethylene coating through heat and pneumatic pressure differential to create microperforations therein at a density of between about 35 and about 120 perforations per linear inch. The resulting microperforated nonwoven web is then thermomechanically perforated by feeding it through perforating rolls, at least one of which has raised protuberances to create macroperforations that extend though at least the polyethylene coating. The macroperforations have a density of between about 6 and about 35 perforations per linear inch. The perforated nonwoven web is useful as a topsheet for absorbent articles.06-23-2011

20090182835Non-disruptive storage caching using spliced cache appliances with packet inspection intelligence - A method, system and program are disclosed for accelerating data storage by providing non-disruptive storage caching using spliced cache appliances with packet inspection intelligence. A cache appliance that transparently monitors NFS and CIFS traffic between clients and NAS subsystems and caches files using dynamically adjustable cache policies provides low-latency access and redundancy in responding to both read and write requests for cached files, thereby improving access time to the data stored on the disk-based NAS filer (group).07-16-2009
20090182836System and method for populating a cache using behavioral adaptive policies - A method, system and program are disclosed for accelerating data storage in a cache appliance cluster that transparently monitors NFS and CIFS traffic between clients and NAS subsystems and caches files using dynamically adjustable cache policies which populate the storage cache using behavioral adaptive policies that are based on analysis of clients-filers transaction patterns and network utilization, thereby improving access time to the data stored on the disk-based NAS filer (group) for predetermined applications.07-16-2009

20080259312Range and Velocity Sensing System - The present invention relates to a method and apparatus used to calculate at least one velocity component for a target within the region. The invention employs an energy source which is activated using an activation system in a cyclic pattern with a selected source frequency. A receiver is also employed in conjunction with a shielding system where this shielding system is configured to block the sensing of reflected energy from the target in a cyclic pattern with a selected receiver frequency. The invention operates through measuring a frequency change in the source frequency of the energy source signal when received by the receiver and determines a velocity component for a target based on a measured frequency change for a known direction of travel. The invention may also be extended to provide a two or three dimensional velocity vector through the addition of further energy sources.10-23-2008

20100282489THERMOPLASTIC HALOGEN-FREE FLAME RETARDANT FORMULATIONS - The present invention is a highly mineral-filled halogen-free, flame-retardant composition made from or containing a polypropylene thermoplastic elastomer, a polypropylene, a metal hydroxide filler, and a polar-monomer-grafted polyolefin elastomer compatibilizer. The invented system has improved tensile strength, improved elongation at break, and low permanent deformation at increasingly high test temperatures. The invention also includes cables and extruded articles prepared from the composition.11-11-2010
20100319960HALOGEN-FREE FLAME RETARDANT FORMULATIONS - The present invention is a highly mineral-filled halogen-free, flame-retardant composition made from or containing a mineral filler, an olefin multi-block interpolymer, and a polar-monomer-based compatibilizer. The invented system has improved elongation at break, achieves a highly flexible, soft compound at high (e.g. >40 weight percent) filler addition, and achieves and low residual deformation when subjected to the hot pressure test. The invention also includes cables and extruded articles prepared from the composition.12-23-2010
