Title: Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Abgabe von verflüssigtem Gas
Inventor: NEUBAUER UWE DIPL-ING
IPC: F17C13/08
Filed: 2000-05-02
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Abgabe von verflüssigtem
Gas als Flüssigphase. Insbesondere eignet sich die Erfindung zur Abgabe von kleinen
Mengen an Flüssiggas. Die Quelle, aus der die Abgabe erfolgt, enthält ein Medium,
das eine Gas-Flüssigkeits-Mischphase aufweist. Zur kontrollierten Abgabe und genauen
Dosierung des verflüssigten Gases wird der gasförmige Anteil der Gas-Flüssigkeits-Mischphase
rückverflüssigt und somit die Abgabe einer reinen Flüssigphase an
einen Verbraucher ermöglicht. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Rückverflüssigung mit
Hilfe eines Kondensationsgefäßes (1) stehen ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur
wirtschaftlichen und verlustarmen Bereitstellung einer mit hoher Genauigkeit dosierten
Menge an verflüssigtem Gas als Flüssigphase zur Verfügung.

Abstract: A network-based system and method for providing anonymous voice
communications using the telephone network and data communications links under the
direction of a Call Broker and associated network elements. A user (the call initiator)
present in a text chat room session establishes a data connection to Call Broker and, after
qualifying for access ( e.g ., using credit card information) and providing a callback
number, receives voice session information and participant access codes for each desired
participant in a voice call. The initiator causes session information and participant codes
to be passed to one or more selected chat participants in the current text chat room.
When a selected participant uses the received session information, and enters the received
participant code and a callback number, the Call Broker in cooperation with a Network
Adjunct Processor (NAP) completes voice links to the initiator and the selected
participant(s). The need for each party to have a second subscriber line is advantageously
avoided by having the Call Broker arrange to have one or more voice links completed
through a VoIP link, and further reduces the need for second lines for participants by
forwarding a Call Broker - placed call to a busy participant line to the participant's
Internet Service Provider (ISP), which then sends a message to the participant
announcing one or more options for receiving the incoming call, including receiving the
incoming call through a VoIP link.

Abstract: A speech synthesizing method includes determining the accent type of
the input character string (s1), selecting the prosodic model data from a
prosody dictionary for storing typical ones of the prosodic models
representing the prosodic information for the character strings in a word
dictionary, based on the input character string and the accent type (s2),
transforming the prosodic information of the prosodic model when the
character string of the selected prosodic model is not coincident with the
input character string (s3), selecting the waveform data corresponding to
each character of the input character string from a waveform dictionary,
based on the prosodic model data after transformation (s4), and connecting
the selected waveform data with each other (s5). Therefore, a difference
between an input character string and a character string stored in a
dictionary is absorbed, then it is possible to synthesize a natural
voice.

Abstract: A method of simultaneously providing A/D conversion and multiplication in a Bit-Serial
ADCs and single slope ADCs. A bit serial ADC uses a RAMP signal and a
BITX signal input to a comparator and 1-bit latch, respectively. When RAMP
exceeds an analog input value, the comparator triggers the latch to output the value
of BITX. The bits are output serially. The RAMP signal has a staircase shape with
voltage levels and voltage steps. In the present invention, multiplication by two
coefficients is possible. One coefficient is determined by properly designing RAMP,
and the other coefficient is determined by properly designing BITX. Multiplication via
RAMP is accomplished by changing the voltage levels by a factor of 1/X, where X is
the multiplying coefficient (i.e., multiplication by a factor of 0.5 is accomplished by
doubling the voltage of the voltage levels). Multiplication via BITX is accomplished
by slowing the frequency of BITX by a factor of X. Also disclosed are methods of
designing BITX and RAMP such that multiplication via BITX has a high accuracy.
Also, the present invention includes methods for data compression/filtering in a
photodetector array using the disclosed multiplication methods. The present
invention is suitable for use in multichannel environments because the invention
requires only very simple hardware.

geographic region serviced by one of the plurality of base stations. Based upon the
partitioned set of random numbers, corresponding channels are assigned for use by each
one of the base stations. According to one embodiment, two channel numbers in the

Abstract: In a photoelectric conversion device, to suppress alteration of its properties during a long time use, lower decrease of S/N ratio due to a dark current output, and shorten image-pickup cycles. An MIS type photoelectric conversion elements using an amorphous semiconductor material are connected with an electric power source for applying bias (Vs) for photoelectric conversion, an electric power (VREF) for resetting an accumulated electric charge, and a setting point for applying zero bias (VGND) at the time of non-operation of the element through SW1. Emitted x-rays from an x-ray source, which is a first light source, come into collision against a phosphor after being transmitted through an object body to be inspected which is not illustrated in drawings and then are absorbed in the phosphor to be converted to visible light rays. The visible light rays from the phosphor are radiated to the photoelectric conversion elements. Prior to reading out of the x-ray image, an LED light source is lighted. SW2 and SW3 are switches for turning on the x-ray source and the LED light source, respectively. In this embodiment, there are a reading-out period and a non-reading-out period, and the x-ray source is turned on during the reading-out period and the LED light source is turned on during the non-reading-out period.
