Title: Method and device for suppressing echo in a hands free device such as a telephone
Inventor: TAEGE PETER
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 1998-10-28
Abstract: An method and a device for echo suppression in a handsfree apparatus, particularly for a telephone is disclosed. With the aid of a control unit, control signals are generated from the signal of the far-end subscriber, the output signal of the loudspeaker-room-microphone system and the output signal of an adaptive filter used as reference, the control signals having an amplitude and a time response dependent on the speech mode. Using the control signals, the amplifications VE, VS of controllable amplifiers disposed in the receiving and transmitting paths are adapted to the speech mode, thus reducing the residual echo. The stepless transition of the amplifications from a quiescent value to a value attenuated with the factor and having an exponential time characteristic in response to a change of speech mode, provides an impression of natural speech.

Title: An optical switch
Inventor: CASSIDY STEPHEN ANTHONY
IPC: G02B26/02
Filed: 1988-03-31
Abstract: An optical switch which selectively transmits or does not transmit light from an input optical fibre (10) to an output optical waveguide (11, 12) has one of the input (10) and output (11, 12) optical waveguides an optical fibre which is flexible and mounted to be capable of movement towards and away from the other, and an electrode (14) arranged to subject the one optical waveguide to an electrostatic field. In use, application of an electrical potential to the electrode (14) causes the one optical waveguide to move in a direction to enable or prevent optical coupling between the waveguides and hence operation of the switch. The optical fibre is a D-fibre so that it is more flexible in that direction is providing the fibre with a degree of self-alignment. It is preferred that the one optical waveguide is entirely electrically non-conducting and that the optical switch includes more than one electrode (14) to provide a non-uniform electrostatic field. In this case the one optical waveguide is caused to move towards the region of highest electrostatic field density and so move towards or away from the other waveguide to enable or prevent optical coupling between them.

Title: Methods and genetic compositions to limit outcrossings and undesired gene flow in crop plants
Inventor: FABIJANSKI S F
IPC: C12N15/31
Filed: 1999-12-22
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods to control the spread of recombinant DNA molecules between sexually compatible plants of differing genetic composition. The invention describes the production of transgenic plants that comprise recombinant traits of interest or concern linked to repressible lethal genes. The lethal genes are blocked by the action of repressor molecules produced by the expression of repressor genes located at a different genetic locus. The lethal phenotype is only expressed after the segregation of the repressible lethal gene construct and the repressor gene following meiosis. The present invention may be employed for both open-pollinated and hybrid seed production systems and may be used to maintain genetic purity by blocking unintended introgression of genes from plants devoid of the specific repressor gene. The invention includes methods that impart traits that are desirable for environmentally responsible heterologous protein production, to genetic material used to impart said traits and to new plants and products derived by said methods.

Filed: 1988-08-05
Abstract: Blood is passed from inlet 22 to outlet 34 axially along a shear gap between a stationary outer wall 24 and a cylindrical membrane 62 carried by a rotating spinner 50 and plasma is filtered off through the membrane and withdrawn through axial passge 76. The width of the gap and the rate of rotation of the spinner (greater than 1000 r.p.m.) are chosen such as to establish shear of from 1000 to 15,000 sec<-><1> across the gap and centrifugal force at the membrane of 50 gravity. The spinner 50 is driven by magnetic coupling 68, 74 from outside the housing 40, 12, 44 which thus forms a disposable unit.

Title: Method and apparatus for conveying a solid material
Inventor: JONKKA ARVO
IPC: B27L1/00
Filed: 2000-01-03
Abstract: In a method and conveyor for conveying a solid material by means of parallel, oblong transfer elements that move back and forth in the direction of transfer, most of the surface of the transfer elements moves in the direction of transfer at the same time and at least part of the surface thereof is inclined towards the center of the conveyor. Pieces of material lying on inclined outermost transfer elements are carried on a lower longitudinal part of the transfer elements, the angle of inclination of the part about the longitudinal axis being smaller than the angle of inclination of the upper part thereof. Thus, the support force exerted by the transfer elements on the pieces lying thereon, and the friction force between them and the pieces lying thereon, increase. At the same time, the support force that is exerted by second transfer elements situated lower with respect to the outermost transfer elements on the pieces lying thereon, and the friction between the second transfer elements and the pieces lying thereon, decrease.

Title: A fluid discharge valve
IPC: F16K31/385
Filed: 1992-09-04
Abstract: A fluid discharge device, primarily for w.c. cisterns, has a housing (4, 9) with an outlet (5) through the base of the cistern (1). A main valve assembly (20) with a seal (21) normally blocks this outlet (5). A substantially closed variable volume chamber (26) is formed in the housing (4, 9), the main valve assembly (20) providing its base. A pilot valve (12, 30, 36), controllable externally of the cistern, can open this chamber (26) to the outlet, and there is a restricted passage (10, 49, 58, 88) between the chamber (26) and the interior of the cistern (1). On opening the pilot valve, water (and sometimes air under pressure) escaping the chamber (26) alters the pressure balance and the main valve assembly (2) lifts to generate the full discharge. The flow of water can help keep this valve assembly (20) lifted, and a low pressure zone in the discharge passage can be used to keep the chamber (26) scavenged. The valves close when the discharge is completed, and replenishment water penetrates the chamber (26) via the restricted passage (10, 49, 58, 88). <IMAGE>
