Patent EP-1051550-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DIKE SUNEEL YESHWANT
IPC: D06M13/207
Filed: 1998-07-17
Abstract: On traite une matière cellulosique fibreuse par application d'une solution aqueuse d'un agent de réticulation d'acide polycarboxylique et d'un acide organique ou inorganique sulfonique ou sulfinique, notamment un acide sulfonique p-toluène, un acide méthane sulfonique et un acide sulfonique benzène dodécylique ou un sel, particulièrement, des sels de métal alcalin, d'ammonium ou de métal alcalino-terreux en tant que catalyseur d'estérification. On fait ensuite sécher le tissu et on le chauffe pour favoriser l'estérification avec réticulation de l'acide polycarboxylique et de la celluloses de la matière cellulosique fibreuse et ce, afin d'obtenir un tissu dont la résistance au pli de froissement et/ou à la cassure et/ou au retrait est améliorée à l'instar de ses caractéristiques de séchage facile. Cette technique présente l'avantage de ne pas exiger le recours à des dérivés de formaldéhyde et, de ce fait, il n'y a pas de libération de formaldéhyde durant le traitement susmentionné. De même, les matières traitées ne libèrent pas de formaldéhyde au moment de la fabrication du tissu ni à l'utilisation. Un autre avantage réside dans le fait que les catalyseurs ne contiennent pas ni n'utilisent des composés renfermant du phosphore.

Abstract: A bandpass filter (10) is capable of forming attenuation
extremes on both sides of a passband. Multiple microstrip
line resonators (11, 12, 13, 14), one end of each being an
open terminal and the other end connecting to a ground

line resonators (12, 13) are bent in a C-shape so that the
open terminals of the outer microstrip line resonators (11,
14) project further than the inner microstrip line resonators
(12, 13). The line of sight between the open terminals of the
microstrip line resonators is improved and capacitance is
formed there, so that attenuation extremes can be formed on
both sides of the passband, and the amount of attenuation can
be increased.

IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 1999-12-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing speech
signals by subtracting a noise function. The method
comprises the transformation of noise from a time domain
into an other domain, preferably a frequency domain, using
FFT and the weighting of the noise spectrum to generate a
noise signal using the signal-to-noise ratio of the speech
signal or an upper and lower limit for a noise amplitude in
the frequency domain or an analysis of a noise type or an
envelope of the speech signal in the frequency domain. The
weighted noise signal is then subtracted from the speech
signal spectrum to generate a speech signal with reduced
noise. After transforming the speech signal from the
frequency domain to the time domain, speech coding is
performed on the speech signal with reduced noise. The
invention improves the speech quality by avoiding the
reduction of too much noise from the speech signal.
