Abstract: A loudspeaker comprising an acoustic panel (1) having two substantially parallel main surfaces (5A, 5B) and comprising an electrical exciter (3) arranged on one of said main surfaces. The panel produces acoustic radiation upon energization of the exciter, at least subsequently as a result of bending waves produced in the panel. In order to improve the energy response of the loudspeaker, the panel has a tuning area (21) extending opposite the exciter, which tuning area has a fundamental resonance frequency which is lower than the fundamental resonance frequency of any similar area in the rest of the panel, if determined under the same conditions.

Title: Control device for controlling a charging switch in a switching controller and method for controlling a charging switch
Inventor: HACKNER MICHAEL
IPC: H02M3/156
Filed: 2004-08-25
Abstract: A control device for controlling a charging switch in a switching regulator with an inductance, a filter capacitance and a diode comprises a clock generator for providing an operating clock, an output voltage detection means and an inductance current detection means, as well as a comparator for comparing the detection signals generated by the two detection means. The charging switch is switched on by an event in the clock and switched off when the comparator determines a predetermined relation between the two detection signals. The voltage detection signal is formed to have an inverted curve in relation to the detected output voltage, such that when the output voltage to be detected increases the detection signal falls and vice versa. Thus, a stable and simple regulation of the output voltage across a current locked loop is possible, where no filtering of an actual value has to be performed. Thus, a stable current locked loop with simple structure is obtained in a wide range.

Abstract: A method automatically corrects dust artifact within images acquired by a system including a digital acquisition device including a lens assembly. Multiple original digital images are acquired with the digital acquisition device. Probabilities that certain pixels correspond to dust artifact regions within the images are determined based at least in part on a comparison of suspected dust artifact regions within two or more of the images. Probable dust artifact regions are associated with extracted parameter values relating to the lens assembly when the images were acquired. A statistical dust map is formed including mapped dust regions based on the determining and associating. Pixels corresponding to correlated dust artifact regions are corrected within further digitally-acquired images based on the associated statistical dust map.

Title: Formulations ameliorees d'additifs de nucleation a base de sels de dicarboxylate de bicyclo 2.2.1|heptane
Inventor: MANNION MICHAEL J
IPC: C08K3/00
Filed: 2004-08-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne des formulations d'additifs de nucléation thermoplastiques contenant des sels de dicarboxylate de bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane solides, broyés et à petites dimensions de particules, qui comprennent en outre au moins un agent antiagglomérant pour réduire davantage le trouble, assurer des performances accrues de nucléation et prévenir une cémentation potentielle (par agglomération) du composant sel de la formulation. Les sels de dicarboxylate à petites dimensions de particules, qui confèrent des propriétés souhaitables aux articles thermoplastiques, notamment comme agents de nucléation, engendrent manifestement certains problèmes de transparence et d'agglomération (en raison des structures en plaque fine et plate de ces composés, et de leur tendance à coller entre elles au stockage), ce qui rend leur emploi moins souhaitable dans certaines applications. Le perfectionnement apporté par l'invention permet de tirer parti des excellentes caractéristiques de températures de cristallisation, de rigidité et de compatibilité avec le stéarate de calcium que ces sels de dicarboxylate confèrent aux thermoplastiques à faible trouble. De plus, l'utilisation combinée des additifs antiagglomérants et des sels de nucléation mentionnés a apporté des améliorations non prévues, à savoir un poudrage réduit. L'invention concerne aussi des compositions d'additifs thermoplastiques et des procédés de production de thermoplastiques utilisant de telles combinaisons agent de nucléation/antiagglomérant.
