Abstract: The plug-in socket connection which is secured with respect to axial forces is intended for socket pipes (1) produced by centrifugal casting, in the case of which connection the spigot end (3) of one pipe can be pushed, with radial play, into the socket end (2) of the other pipe. Arranged in the latter are a sealing ring (8) and a clamping ring (14) which is designed separately from said sealing ring and comprises a multiplicity of clamping segments (15) arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. Said clamping segmens exhibit a convex outer surface (17), connected to one another in the circumferential direction in each case by a vulcanised-on intermediate layer consisting of rubber or the like, and exhibit in each case a toothing arrnagement (19) on their inner surface (18). Integrally formed on the clamping ring (14) is a retaining part (20), which can be fixed in the region of the socket ends and bears said clamping ring and comprises an approximately conically tapering connecting portion (24) which extends to the clamping ring (14) and which, depending on the outer dimensions of the spigot end (3) to be introduced, can be widened together with the clamping ring (14) and can, in this arrangement, be expanded in the axial direction. In order to prevent corrosion of the toothing arrangement (9) of the clamping segments (15) due to penetrating moisture and oxygen, the connecting portion (24) exhibits, in its region extending from the clamping ring (14) with the clamping segments (15) to the retaining part (20), at least one annular sealing edge (34) which extends out radially inwardly and elastically encloses the spigot end of the introduced pipe. <IMAGE>

Title: Filterbank structure and method for filtering and separating an information signal into different bands, particularly for audio signals in hearing aids
Inventor: BRENNAN ROBERT
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1998-04-16
Granted: 2002-02-14
Abstract: A filterbank structure is provided which provides a flexible compromise between the conflicting goals of processing delay, filter sharpness, memory usage and band interaction. The filterbank has an adjustable number of bands and a stacking which provides for a selectable shift of band frequencies to one of two discrete sets of center frequencies. The width of the bands and hence the number of the bands is selected depending upon acceptable delay, memory usage, and processing speed required. The flexibility in terms of stacking of the bands provides twice the number of potential band edge placements, which is advantageous for hearing loss fitting, especially at low frequencies. The same filter coefficients can be used for analysis and synthesis, to reduce memory usage.
