Abstract: A variety of hollow structures with unique morphologies were manufactured with a rotational spinning technique. Phase separation of soluble solutions was induced within a filled mold as it was being rotated about one of its axis. As phase-separation occurs within this rotating mold, the increase in density of one phase results in sediment at the periphery under centrifugal forces. After or during sedimentation, gelation of the phase-separated particles fixes the tube morphology and the solvent remains in the center of the mold. The solvent is removed from the mold resulting in a tube. By controlling the rotational speed and the formulation chemistry, the tube dimensions and wall morphology can be manipulated. This technique offers a new approach to the manufacture of polymeric tubes. It requires small quantities of starting material, permits multi-layering of tubes, is applicable to diverse polymers and can result in highly diffusive hollow structures while maintaining good mechanical strength.

Abstract: A method and system that combines voice recognition engines and resolves any differences between the results of individual voice recognition engines. A speaker independent (SI) Hidden Markov Model (HMM) engine, a speaker independent Dynamic Time Warping (DTW-SI) engine and a speaker dependent Dynamic Time Warping (DTW-SD) engine are combined. Combining and resolving the results of these engines results in a system with better recognition accuracy and lower rejection rates than using the results of only one engine.

Abstract: Reporting existence of a predetermined condition, eg wear, of a brake friction lining (32, fig 2a) of a railway wagon train (10, fig 5) or vehicle having many braked wheel axle sets (12, fig 1a), comprises associating condition sensing apparatus (42, 52, fig 2a) and a wireless transmitter (72, fig 2d) of condition signals with each monitored brake and a common receiver 78 moving relative to the axle sets so that condition signals, if any, are received from the wheel axle sets in turn. Conveniently, the receiver 78 is off-vehicle and may be located track- or road-side to receive signals from passing trains or may be moved alongside a stationary train. Signals from different axle sets are isolated by each axle set being proximate the receiver only for a short time by a spatial or temporal transmission and reception envelope. An energy source 82 with the receiver may empower each transmitter in an appropriate positional relationship, optionally also effecting transmission of a signal confirming correct operation if a condition signal is absent. Axle set positions relative to a datum point on the train may be recorded and correlated with condition signals to identify the position of a worn brake lining, or condition signals may be referenced to wagon identities for later attention.
