Abstract: PCT No. PCT/NO98/00004 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 30, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 30, 1999 PCT Filed Jan. 8, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO98/30847 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 16, 1998A refrigeration system having a closed circulating circuit filled with a refrigerant which on evaporation expands and gives rise to an increase in pressure in the whole or in parts of the circulating circuit, and which at ambient temperature has a saturation pressure that is higher than the maximum working pressure in the refrigeration circuit. A refrigeration of this kind may, for example, be carbon dioxide. By allowing vaporized refrigerant to condense against the surface of the refrigerant in liquid phase, contained in a container that is insulated and has adapted size and adapted liquid level, the pressure in the circulating circuit can be maintained below the maximum working pressure of the refrigeration circuit. Thus undesirable build-up of pressure in the event of, e.g., a period of inoperation or breakdown, is prevented, and the circulating circuit of the refrigeration system can be designed and made for a pressure which is below the saturation pressure at ambient temperature of the refrigerant used, and the refrigeration system can be made using conventional or at least virtually conventional elements, whereby the total system costs are reduced considerably in relation to a total system which is built to withstand higher pressure, e.g., the saturation pressure at room temperature of the refrigerant. Starting up after, e.g., a period of inoperation or breakdown is secured with valves which provide a controlled fall in pressure in an insulated container after an increase in pressure in the same container exceeding the maximum working pressure of the circuits.

Abstract: Human speech is coded by singling out from a transfer function of the speech, all poles that are unrelated to any particular resonance of a human vocal tract model. All other poles are maintained. A glottal pulse related sequence is defined representing the singled out poles through an explicitation of the derivative of the glottal air flow. Speech is outputted by a filter based on combining the glottal pulse related sequence and a representation of a formant filter with a complex transfer function expressing all other poles. The glottal pulse sequence is modelled through further explicitly expressible generation parameters. In particular, a non-zero decaying return phase supplemented to the glottal-pulse response that is explicitized in all its parameters, while amending the overall response in accordance with volumetric continuity.

Abstract: A receiver for receiving a CDMA communication signal that is wirelessly transmitted includes a system for correcting phase errors in an information signal which has been transmitted. The correction system comprises circuitry for generating a mixing signal and for combining the mixing signal with said information signal to produce a correction signal. An analyzer analyzes the phase of said correction signal and generates an error signal based on the deviation of the analyzed phase from a reference phase. A bandwidth controller which recursively adjusts the phase of the correction signal such that the phase of said correction signal is substantially equal to said reference phase. The bandwidth controller then selects a bandwidth within an adjustable range based on the correction signal, estimates an offset by interrogating the error signal, and modifies said correction signal by the offset.

Abstract: Methods of altering substrate specificity of plant acyl-ACP thioesterases, and engineered plant acyl-ACP thioesterases so produced are provided. The C-terminal two thirds portion of plant thioesterases is identified as desirable for such modifications. DNA sequences and constructs for expression of engineered thioesterases, as well as the novel thioesterases produced therefrom are also provided. Such DNA sequences may be used for expression of the engineered thioesterases in host cells, particularly seed cells of oilseed crop plants, for the modification of fatty acid composition. A C12 preferring plant acyl-ACP thioesterase described herein may be altered to obtain a plant thioesterase having approximately equal activity on C14 and C12 substrates. Further modification of the C12 enzyme yields a thioesterase having greater activity on C14 as compared to C12 substrates. Of particular interest is a plant 18:1 thioesterase in which the relative 18:0 activity has been increased. Such FatA thioesterases find use for improved production of stearate in vegetable seed oils.
