Title: Feeding effect fibres to carding machine
Inventor: KELLY JIM
IPC: D01G15/70
Filed: 1997-10-21
Abstract: Effect fibres, differing from base fibres being fed to a carding machine to form an effect yarn, are themselves fed to the carding machine from a delivery machine having hopper 12 which is moved eccentrically by cam 24 to compress and feed fibres between the hopper and adjustable, static plate 30 to be picked off by clothed roller 28 and stripped by roller 32.

Patent GB-986744-A (GB)
IPC: B64D17/38
Abstract: 986,744. Strap fastenings. CAPEWELL MANUFACTURING CO. Dec. 9, 1963 [Dec. 10, 1962], No. 48490/63. Heading E2A. A quick release connector comprises two separable links 2, 4 means for releasably latching the units together including spring- biased detents adapted to be moved towards each other to de-couple the units, a pivoted release lever having depending actuating members engaging the detents, and means for pivoting the release lever in a direction to wedge the detents towards each other thereby to release the detents for separating the units. As shown, in which the units 2, 4 are adapted to couple straps attached thereto, the unit 4 provides a pair of seatings 22, 28 for the unit 2 which is retained, against tension in the straps, by a slidable member 40 mounted on the unit 4 and operated to latching and release positions for the unit 2, by a drive lever 50, pivotally mounted on a pin 52 on the unit 4. The lever 50 is retained, in the latching position of the member 40, by a latch member 60 secured to the lever 50 and comprising a pair of flexible and resilient arms 62 terminating in buttons 64 which extend through openings 66 in the side walls 51 of the lever 50. The arms 62 are also provided with ears 68 which are engageable with slots 70 in the base of unit 2. The lever 50 is operated by a release lever 80 pivotally mounted on the pin 52 and overlying the lever 50. The free end of the lever 80 is formed with lobes 90 which are engageable with the buttons 64, such that as the lever 80 is moved away from the lever 50, the lobes 90 force the buttons 64 inwardly to thus release the ears 68 from the slots 70 and to allow the lever 50 to pivot with the lever 80 to thereby operate the member 40 to its release position for the unit 2. A "pop-up" lanyard 95 is attached to the lever 80 by means of a paddle lever 100 attached to the lever 80 and underlying the latter, one end 102 of the lever 100 having a tongue 104 which extends in the closed position of lever 80, through an aperture 110 in the lever 50 and between the buttons 64, to prevent unwanted movements of the buttons which would cause the units to release. A tab 109 on the lever 80 limits relative movement between the levers 50 and 80. A safety cover 120 which secures the lanyard in retracted position, substantially encloses the lever 80, is pivoted to the unit 4 by a spring strap 126. In another similar arrangement, Fig. 6 (not shown), the paddle lever 100 is dispensed with and the release lever and the member 40 are of modified form. Specification 666,895 is referred to.

Title: Voiced/unvoiced determination for speech coding
Inventor: RUOPPILA VESA
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 1999-12-24
Abstract: A voicing determination algorithm for classification of a speech signal segment as voiced or unvoiced is based on, for example, a normalised autocorrelation where the length of the window is proportional to the pitch period. The speech segment to be classified is further divided into a number of sub-segments, and the normalised autocorrelation is calculated (302) for each sub-segment. If a certain number (e.g. substantially half) of the normalised autocorrelation values is above a predetermined threshold (304), the speech segment is classified as voiced. To improve the performance of the voicing determination algorithm in unvoiced to voiced transients, the normalised autocorrelations of the last sub-segments are emphasised. The performance of the voicing decision algorithm can be enhanced by utilising also the possible lookahead information. If a certain number of the normalised autocorrelation values of the last sub-segments exceeds another threshold (305), then the speech segment is also classified as voiced.
