International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709225, 709203, 709223

Abstract:

A service manager that facilitates managing requests that are obtained at a middleware tier of a communications network includes a monitor component that evaluates data associated with effectuating a request that is received at a middleware tier. The monitor component identifies resources associated with effectuating the request. Additionally, the service manager includes a request component that accepts and/or rejects the request based at least in part upon the identified resources.

Filed:

Oct 17, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/623468

Inventors:

Kenneth P. Thompson - Canton NC

Assignee:

Champion International Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

H01T 1904

US Classification:

250531

Abstract:

A dielectric web substrate is primed for adhesion of a plastic coating by passing between two rolls in rolling contact therewith. One roll has a conductive core and an insulating jacket while the other roll has a conductive surface. A high voltage A. C. source is connected between the conductive portions of both rolls to establish a corona discharge therebetween to effect said priming. Additional rolls with conductive surfaces may be connected in parallel with the first such roll.

Filed:

Jul 17, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/284391

Inventors:

Kenneth P. Thompson - Canton NC

Assignee:

Champion International Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B32B 516
B32B 1502
B32B 1520
B32B 2710

US Classification:

428342

Abstract:

A pigment-coated paperboard is provided which comprises a paperboard substrate on which there are coextruded a top film of polyethylene terephthalate and an intermediate layer of an acrylic ester copolymer containing from about 1/2 to about 15% pigment particles. Such coated paperboard is particularly suitable for use in containers for food, for book covers, expansion envelopes, business folders and the like. When the pigment is aluminum powder, trays made from the coated paperboard are suitable for use as disposable roller print trays.

Appl. No.:

8/711831

Inventors:

Kenneth M. Thompson - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04J 300
H04N 708

US Classification:

370389

Abstract:

A method and device for communicating private application data, along with audio data (e. g. , MPEG-2 encoded audio data) and video data (e. g. , MPEG-2 encoded video data), from a first location to a second location. The private application data is either stuffed into a header portion of packets of encoded audio or video data, or packetized and multiplexed with packets of encoded audio or video data. The multiplexed packets form a packet stream which is communicated to the second location.

Filed:

Aug 24, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/936611

Inventors:

Kenneth P. Thompson - Canton NC
Richard C. Ihde - Strongsville OH

Assignee:

Champion International Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B65D 134
C08F 4308

US Classification:

206557

Abstract:

A polymeric multiple-layer sheet material particularly suited for making containers for food products to be cooked or reheated in microwave ovens has a relatively thick core layer of foamed, high density polyethylene with thinner surface layers of a coextruded polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate. The surface layers are preferably bonded to the core by suitable adhesive layers.

Assignee:

U.S. Plywood-Champion Papers Inc. - Hamilton OH

International Classification:

B29B 500
B29F 306

US Classification:

156244

Abstract:

A composite article suitable for forming liquid-containing paperboard cartons is made by laminating an extruded thermoplastic film to an elongated paperboard web. The film has thick and thin strips and the thick strips are laminated to the web over areas thereof which are to ultimately form the bottom portions of the cartons. Thermoplastic material is regulated within an extruder and after extrusion the film takes on a profile imparted by the regulation of the material within the extruder die.

Assignee:

Champion International Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B29D 2304
B32B 2732

US Classification:

156 82

Abstract:

The invention provides a dynamic system for heat-sealing an all-plastic material in a continuous process at high speed. The invention includes an all-plastic heat-sealable container material comprising a multiple-layer composite, in sheet form, including a core layer and at least one outer layer on one side thereof. The layers preferably comprise thermoplastic material, the core layer material having a higher softening point than the outer layer material. The composite sheet is conveyed through a converting, side-seaming or other apparatus at high speed, the system being tuned to dynamically heat the outer layers to a molten state for heat sealing, while the core does not soften but remains undistorted. The core is thus thermally insensitive to heat at speeds used in side-seaming the composite, and as such it supports and maintains the structure of the sealing outer layers on its exterior while they are in a molten condition.
