Patent EP-1237516-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ALFERNESS CLIFTON A
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 2000-08-21
Abstract: A device, system, and method provides for lung size reduction by permanently collapsing at least a portion of a lung. The lung portion may be collapsed by obstructing the air passageway which communicates the lung portion to be collapsed. The air passageway may be obstructed by an obstructing member which precludes airflow in either direction or with a one-way valve which permits air to be exhaled from the lung portion while precluding air from being inhaled into the lung portion. In addition, a vacuum may be pulled within the lung portion to be collapsed for collapsing the lung portion and while the lung portion is collapsed the obstructing member may be placed in the air passageway to maintain the lung portion in a permanently collapsed state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a display device (1) comprising LC panels arranged next to each other. To reduce the visibility of a seam (24) between two adjacent LC panels and to avoid grey scale inversion, collimated light is applied. A lenticular foil (9) is used to enlarge the viewing angle in the horizontal direction. If the seam (24) is only present in a vertical direction, the widest viewing angle in the vertical direction should be chosen. This choice leads to an asymmetric viewing angle in a horizontal direction. To reduce the asymmetry in the horizontal viewing angle, the lenticulars of the screen have a trapezoidal shape. The apex angle depends on the desired spread and viewing angle symmetry in the horizontal direction.

IPC: G10L15/06
Filed: 2001-04-18
Abstract: The improved noise adaptation technique employs a linear or non-linear
transformation to the set of Jacobian matrices corresponding to an
initial noise condition. An α-adaptation parameter or artificial intelligence
operation is employed in a linear or non-linear way to increase the adaptation
bias added to the speech models. This corrects shortcomings of conventional
Jacobian adaptation, which tend to underestimate the effect of noise. The
improved adaptation technique is further enhanced by a reduced
dimensionality, principal component analysis technique that reduces the
computational burden, making the adaptation technique beneficial in
embedded recognition systems.

Abstract: In the reaction of catalytic gas phase oxidation induced
by the supply of at least a raw material to be oxidized and
a molecular oxygen-containing gas to a reactor for catalytic
gas phase oxidation, a method for starting up the reactor
for catalytic gas phase oxidation is disclosed which is
characterized by causing the raw material and the molecular
oxygen-containing gas to pass a range in which the
concentration of the raw material is less than the lower
explosion limit of the raw material and the concentration
of oxygen is not less than the limiting oxygen concentration,
but excluding the concentration of the raw material of 0 vol.%.
The method enables the reactor to be started up economically
and safely by avoiding the explosion range induced by the
composition of a raw material and a molecular
oxygen-containing gas supplied to the reactor and decreasing
the amount of a diluting gas to be supplied.

Abstract: A process for controlling the formation of TiO2 particles in a multi-stage vapor-phase oxidation reactor wherein the process includes the steps of limiting the fraction of TiCl4 converted into TiO2 in the reaction stream of a first or intermediate stage of the reactor under conditions that control the mean residence time distribution of the reacting mass. By running the reaction in this manner, the growth of TiO2 particles produced is so controlled that after subsequent standard finishing steps (e.g. milling) the fraction of particles having an average size of less than 0.5 mum is reduced or minimized.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble tuyau composite qui comprend un tuyau pourvu d'une paroi, un logement comprenant une partie tubulaire présentant une surface intérieure, cette partie tubulaire entourant le côté extérieur du tuyau, et un élément à forger tubulaire présentant une surface extérieure. Cet élément à forger est placé dans le logement, une partie de la paroi de tuyau étant disposée entre la surface intérieure de la partie tubulaire du logement et la surface extérieure dudit élément à forger. L'élément à forger est déformé radialement vers l'extérieur pour venir s'appliquer contre le tuyau et le logement, de préférence au-delà de sa limite apparente d'élasticité, et la partie tubulaire du logement est ainsi déformée radialement vers l'extérieur, partiellement au-delà de sa limite apparente d'élasticité. Ainsi, la partie tubulaire du logement applique une force de compression radialement vers l'intérieur, contre la paroi de tuyau, et l'élément à forger applique une force radialement vers l'extérieur, contre la paroi du tuyau, pour fixer le logement au tuyau et former un joint entre le tuyau et la surface intérieure de la partie tubulaire du logement. On peut utiliser cet ensemble tuyau pour monter un raccord d'extrémité sur un tuyau composite, pour effectuer une réparation sur une partie de tuyau endommagée, ou pour réaliser le raccordement de deux parties de tuyau. L'élément à forger et le logement peuvent être tous les deux montés sur un tuyau composite existant pour permettre la réalisation de l'ensemble. Dans une variante, la partie d'extrémité du tuyau composite peut être formée autour de l'élément à forger, pour permettre l'installation subséquente d'un logement. L'ensemble peut être utilisé avec un tuyau composite comprenant une chemise métallique, la partie terminale de la chemise métallique formant, de façon avantageuse, l'élément à forger.
