Abstract: Composting takes place in largely closed volume. Extraction of effluent air to cool or reduce chemical parameters is limited at each region. Radio alarms signal control unit (12) when limits are exceeded. During treatment, room air is recirculated, moistened and treated with additives. Reduced pressure limits mist formation. Recirculation direction is selected for treatment. Composting takes place in a largely closed volume. Extraction of effluent air to cool or reduce chemical parameters is limited at each region. Radio alarms signal a control unit (12) when limits are exceeded. During the treatment, the room air is recirculated, moistened and treated with additives. Reduced pressure arising, limits mist formation. The recirculation direction is selected accordingly, for the treatment. The moisture required is supplied by sprinklers. On exceeding specific limits, air recirculating in the room is replaced by external air. Effluent air passes through a chemical after-treatment to free it from odor and dust, control being effected externally. Further variants of the process, which include turning of the compost, are described in accordance with the foregoing principles. An independent claim is included for corresponding equipment.

Abstract: A multi-home service system capable of allowing access among
information devices connected to a home (HOME-1) network as well as an access to
information devices connected to external home (HOME-2) networks. Gateways (GW1,GW2,GW3) collect
information related to the information devices connected to the home network,
provide a service for mutual accesses among the information devices
connected to the home network, and, if a multicast packet is received from an
information device connected to the home network, transfer the multicast
packet through a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel to the external home
networks registered in a database through an application in advance. Further,
if a multicast packet is transferred from an external home network, a gateway
multicasts the packet to the information devices connected to the home
network.

Abstract: A hose coupling assembly wherein a hose 20 having a corrugated portion 22 is coupled to a fitting block 24 by a socket 50. The fitting block 24 has a block engagement catch 25c projecting from the outside rim of the block body 25. The socket 50 comprises a socket body 51 elastically expandable and contractible by being divided by a slit 51a, and a socket engagement catch 51b engages the block engagement catch 25c. To detach the socket 50 from the fitting block 24, force is applied in a rotation direction to a push operation portion 51c to cause the socket body 51 to undergo diametrical expansion, releasing the socket engagement catch 51b from the block engagement catch 25c. The socket body has a slit (51a), (51Ba), (51Fa), (51Ga), (51Ha), (51Ja), (51Ka), (51La) across the entirety of a length of the socket to provide C-shaped cross section, and the hose coupling assembly further comprises a diametrical expansion restricting member (60F), (60G), (60H), (60J), (60K) for restricting diametrical expansion of the socket body when attached to the socket body extending over the slit.

Abstract: A method for adaptive long-term filtering of an audio signal, such as a
decoded speech signal. The method includes measuring a smoothed
periodicity of an audio signal segment, such as an audio frame, wherein the
smoothed periodicity is measured by low-pass filtering an instantaneous
periodicity of the audio signal segment. The periodicity of the audio signal
segment is then increased in a manner that depends upon whether the
smoothed periodicity is less than a predetermined threshold. By utilizing a
smoothed periodicity measurement in this fashion, more accurate control of
the post-filter is provided as compared to conventional solutions.
Additionally, the method includes deriving filters by interpolating between
filter responses of adjacent audio signal segments to minimize distortion at
segment boundaries.

Abstract: The exposure apparatus comprises: a barometer for
detecting air pressure, a lens driving unit for driving
a lens of a projection optical system, a light-source-wavelength
changing unit for changing a wavelength of
an exposure light source, and a stage driving unit for
driving a wafer stage in the optical-axis direction.
The apparatus can correct an aberration caused by a
change in air pressure by utilizing the lens driving
unit, light-source-wavelength changing unit, and stage
driving unit. During a shot of an exposure of the
exposure apparatus, the lens driving unit and/or the
stage driving unit are employed to correct the
aberration. In the non-exposure state (shot interval),
the light-source-wavelength changing unit and/or the
lens driving unit as well as the stage driving unit are
employed to correct the aberration.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for configuring a VLAN on a node of a
communication network. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided at a
network management system, through which an operator selects a node and a
physical port on the node. The operator identifies which virtual ports
associated with the physical port are to be included in each of the member set,
the forbidden set, and the untagged set of the VLAN, using the GUI. The GUI is
designed so that each virtual port can only belong to one of the member set and
the forbidden set. In addition, the network management system ensures that a
VLAN ID entered by the operator is unique, and that the maximum number of
VLANs have not already been configured on the physical port. The
configuration information is thereby validated, and sent to the node for
configuration thereon.

Abstract: A mechanism for pretensioning a cable, or like tension element, of a tension-element drive selectively engages the motor drives of the cable for pretensioning. The mechanism uses a sleeve on which a portion of the cable is wound, with another portion of the cable wound in an opposed direction on a drive shaft on the motor. A clutch connects the sleeve to the motor output shaft. An initiator mechanism selectively stops rotation of the sleeve and the cable portion wound on the sleeve while allowing the motor torque to act on the other end of the cable wound on the drive shaft.
