Abstract:
This invention relates to improved absorbent structures containing improved water-swellable material that can significantly withstand deformation by an external pressure, thus showing improved liquid handling properties. In particular, this invention relates to absorbent structures comprising water-swellable material with an improved absorbent capacity/permeability balance. The water-swellable material is typically in the form of particles, which comprise a core of water-swellable polymer(s) and a shell of said elastomeric polymer(s), preferably selected polyetherpolyurethanes, whereby the water-swellable material is such that it can withstand deformation due to external pressure. The invention also relates to diapers, adult incontinence articles and sanitary napkins comprising said absorbent structure of the invention.

Abstract:
An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) digital electronic communication system includes an ATM communication system interconnection and termination unit (ATMCSI/TU). This ATMCSI/TU includes both a programmable microprocessor and several hardware-implemented coprocessors. The hardware-implemented coprocessors are under control of the microprocessor, and are dedicated to the performing of repetitive tasks. Thus, the microprocessor is freed to perform supervisory tasks in the ATM in addition to performing tasks associated with actual communication of digital data packages (i.e., CS-PDU's) in the ATM system. Thus, the APU is freed from doing repetitive data manipulation tasks, while these tasks are performed by one or more hardware-implemented coprocessors using memory mapped data structures and linked lists of data.
