摘要:
A powdered super absorbent polymer (SAP) has heretofore been used as a water retentive material for sanitary products, such as sanitary napkin, disposable diaper and incontinence pad. This water retentive material is used by being held between two paper sheets but the powdered SAP comes off easily from absorbent member. Moreover, even when the SAP is in a dried powdered state or in a water-absorbed gel state, it is moved between a top sheet and a back sheet in accordance with the movement of a wearer of the sanitary product. Consequently, water absorbency decreases with poor shape stability. Moreover, since the SAP in a water-absorbed gel state is sticky, the wearer feels unpleasant. According to the present invention, therefore, a cellulose fiber, such as a viscose rayon fiber containing uniformly a non-cellulose based material of high water absorbency such as polyacrylate salt is manufactured. A fiber web and nonwoven fabric produced of this fiber is used as water retentive materials in an absorbent member. This fiber has high absorbency and moreover high water retentivity such that water absorbed into the fiber is hardly released from the fiber. Accordingly, an absorbent member formed of a sheet made of this fiber has a stable shape both when it is in a dry state and when it is in a water-absorbed state, and, moreover, it has high absorbency and high water retentivity. Therefore, when this water-retentive sheet is used, a thin absorbent member of high absorbency can be provided.

A semiconductor device of the present invention has an LOC (Lead On Chip) structure. An end portion of an inner lead made thinner than an outer lead by cutting its lower surface by a predetermined thickness and a bus bar thinned to have the same thickness as the end portion of the inner lead are bonded to the surface of a semiconductor chip on which circuits are formed, with a protective film and an insulating tape interposed therebetween. A bonding wire is bonded to the thin portion of the inner lead or the thin bus bar. The thickness from the upper surface of the semiconductor chip to the upper surface of the inner lead can be reduced by the cut portion. A thin package can be realized without deteriorating the reliability with the normal thickness of the outer lead, the insulating tape and an encapsulating resin and the normal loop height of the bonding wire.

A ring transmission system includes nodes connected in a ring shape by transmission lines to communicate with each other. Each node includes a cell extracting unit which receives a cell from the transmission lines and separates a control field from the cell in accordance with a communication control procedure, the control field including a number of bits containing management data and a destination, the management data indicating information related to maintenance and operation of the ring transmission system. A separating unit separates, from the control field, one of management data for the node and management data for another node by comparing the destination with an identification of the node. A management data processing unit generates processed management data from the management data when the destination indicates the node. An intermediate unit generates a new cell containing the management data from the separating unit when the destination indicates the another node. The management data of the new cell is distinctly different from the processed management data. The intermediate unit transmits the new cell to the transmission lines.

A developing device using a one-component developer or toner and applicable to image forming equipment for supplying the developer to a photoconductive element disposed above the device. The device supplies a desired amount of toner to a toner supply roller and a developing roller at all times with no regard to the position thereof, thereby insuring stable images. Further, the device enhances free layout of the equipment and occupies a minimum of sectional area relative to the photoconductive element.

A mass flow meter includes a housing body having a fluid passageway extending therethrough with a capillary tube communicating with the fluid passageway. The capillary tube is connected through a pair of metallic sleeves mounted on a base member which in turn is fastened to the housing body. A pair of sensor coils is connected to the capillary tube to measure any fluid flow. A metal sensor case is welded airtight to the base member to encapsulate the capillary tube.

A system with a container including a protrusion, and a receiver to receive the container. The receiver includes a slide block that is movable relative to a body of the receiver, the slide block including two surfaces, a first surface, initially contacted by the protrusion of the container during insertion of the container into the receiver, having a first slope to resist movement of the container towards the receiver, and a second surface, subsequently contacted by the protrusion of the container during the insertion of the container into the receiver, having a second slope to interact with the protrusion of the container to assist movement of the container towards the receiver. This construction provides the user with a changing insertion force to indicate proper mounting of the container.

The invention provides a dialogue-based learning apparatus through dialogue with users comprising: a speech input unit (10) for inputting speeches; a speech recognition unit (20) for recognizing the input speech; and a behavior and dialogue controller (30) for controlling behaviors and dialogues according to speech recognition results, wherein the behavior and dialogue controller (30) has a topic recognition expert (34) to memorise contents of utterances and to retrieve the topic that best matches the speech recognition results, and a mode switching expert (35) to control mode switching in accordance with a user utterance, wherein the mode switching expert switches modes in accordance with a user utterance, wherein the topic recognition expert registers a plurality words in the utterance as topics in first mode, performs searches from among the registered topics, and selects the maximum likelihood topic in second mode. Finally for every uttered word which is not found in a predetermined dictionary, it substitutes the said word with a word-graph comprising of either a known or a combination of known words in the said dictionary.
