Abstract: A knee joint prosthesis includes a femoral component, a tibial plateau and a tibial bearing member. The design and geometry of the articulation surfaces of the condylar elements of the femoral component and tibial bearing member is such that contact area between the articulation surfaces is maximized both in perfect alignment and in malalignment conditions. Moreover, contact stresses placed upon the articulation surfaces in perfect alignment and in malalignment are reduced. High contact area and low contact stress on the articulation surfaces can be maintained even while matching knee prosthesis components of different sizes.

Abstract: A system and method for discovering consumer purchasing tendencies includes a computer-implemented program which identifies consumer transaction itemsets that are stored in a database and which appear in the database a user-defined minimum number of times, referred to as minimum support. The itemsets contain items that are characterized by a hierarchical taxonomy. Then, the system discovers association rules, potentially across different levels of the taxonomy, in the itemsets by comparing the number of times each of the large itemsets appears in the database to the number of times particular subsets of the itemset appear in the database. When the relationship exceeds a predetermined minimum confidence value, the system outputs a generalized association rule which is representative of purchasing tendencies of consumers. The set of generalized association rules can be pruned of uninteresting rules, i.e., association rules which do not occur at a frequency that is significantly different than what is expected based upon the frequency of occurrence of the rule's ancestors.

Abstract: A cable burying machine having three plow blades which are mounted on a rotating disk. The disk is restrained from movement in normal operation, but if the active plow blade encounters an obstacle which imposes more than a preset force on the blade, the disk will automatically rotate, preventing damage to the blade, and bringing the next blade into position. A remotely operable tripping mechanism can be used to reduce the amount of resistance to rotation which was preset, thereby allowing an operator on a surface vessel to command a plow rotation to remove debris from the active plow blade.

Abstract: A device and method of the present invention aims to improve encoding efficiency. A low
level picture is encoded based on predetermined picture elements in an input picture.
Picture elements of a middle level picture are half the picture elements of the input
picture. The other half of the picture elements are occupied by the low level picture.
Because the low level picture has been already encoded, upon encoding the middle level
picture, the picture elements which must be actually encoded are only half the picture
elements of the middle level picture. Picture elements of a high level picture are an entire
of the input picture elements. Half of them are picture elements of the middle level
picture or low level picture. Because the low level picture and the middle level picture
have been already encoded, the picture elements which must be actually encoded to encode
the high level picture are only half the picture elements of the high level picture.

Abstract: Data in the same range of the fundamental frequency F 0  as speech segments are used as a learning data to prepare a reference codebook CB M  for a spectrum envelope. The same learning data for a higher range than F 0  and the same learning data for a lower range are subject to a linear stretch matching with respect to the learning data for the range F 0 . For each vector code in the reference codebook CB M , the spectrum envelope is clustered to prepare a high range codebook CB H  and a low range codebook CB L . The spectrum envelope of input speech segments are fuzzy vector quantized (S402) with the reference codebook, and depending on the synthesized F 0 , either one of high, middle and low codebooks is selected. The selected codebook is used to decode the fuzzy vector quantized code, and the decoded output is subject to the inverse FFT. Alternatively, codebooks CM MH  and CB ML  each comprising differential vectors for corresponding code vectors between CB M  and CB H  and between CB M  and CB L  are prepared. The quantized code is decoded using either CB MH  or CB ML , and the decoded differential vector is stretched in accordance with a difference in the fundamental frequency between the synthesized speech and the original speech for CB M . The stretched differential vector is added the code vector which was used for the fuzzy vector quantization.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of engine construction
and relates to internal combustion engines with slot-type scavenging and
more precisely to two-stroke engines. At the beginning of the exhaust
stroke, the exhaust gases are expelled from the engine cylinder (4)
through inlet/outlet ports (11), inlet/outlet passages and slide valves (8)
into an exhaust pipe (14). Scavenging ports (9) are then uncovered by an
upper edge of the piston (5) and used to feed a fresh charge into the
cylinder (4) from the crank chamber (2) while the cylinder (4) cavity is
scavenged. After expelling the exhaust gases from the cylinder cavity, the
slide valves (8) rotate to interrupt the communication between the
cylinder (4) cavity and exhaust manifold (14). Upon further rotation of
the slide valves (8), the cylinder (4) cavity is connected with the inlet
pipe through the same gas-distribution organs used for the exhaust gas
outlet, i.e. the inlet/outlet ports (11), the inlet/outlet passages and the
slide valves (8). A fresh charge can thus be fed into the cylinder (4)
through all the ports it comprises, whereby the cylinder of a two-strike
engine may be charged without any losses in the charges and with the
appropriate preliminary compression ratio. A fresh charge is fed into the
crank chamber (2) using the same ports (11), passages (12) and slide
valves (8) only after a port (11) is uncovered by the lower edge of the
piston (5) when it moves from the bottom dead centre. This economical
engine structure may be used to obtain maximum specific parameters,
while the absence of losses in the charges prevents the degradation of the
resources. This structure also allows for the forced aspiration of the
cylinders and ensures effective internal cooling of the hottest parts in the
engine.
