Abstract: The present invention proposes a new method for improving the performance of a real-valued filterbank based spectral envelope adjuster. By adaptively locking the gain values for adjacent channels dependent on the sign of the channels, as defined in the application, reduced aliasing is achieved. Furthermore, the grouping of the channels during gain-calculation, gives an improved energy estimate of the real valued subband signals in the filterbank.

Abstract: A bottom hold circuit generates a bottom hold signal (BH signal) from an RFDC signal from an RF amplifier, and sends it to a comparator. The comparator compares a reference level and the BH signal, and generates an Rfdet signal having H level if the BH signal was found to be lower than the reference level. The Rfdet signal is a signal having H level when a laser spot falls in a data-recorded area on an optical disk, and having L level when in a non-recorded area. When it was detected that Rfdet signal had H level throughout a single turn of the disk, a servo-processing microcomputer controls an optical pickup so as to apply tracking servo. This makes it possible to precisely detect a boundary position between the data-recorded area and non-recorded area. If the optical disk is decentered, the boundary area corresponded to the amount of decentering can successfully be isolated from the data-recorded area.

Abstract: A method and device for field detection are provided, in which one or more gradiometers (31, 32, 33) are positioned in the field and rotated about their axes. Rotation of a single gradiometer allows an output signal of the gradiometer to be analyzed in the Fourier domain, which allows particular field components to be obtained, and also separates the field signal from noise, in the frequency domain. Use of three such rotating gradiometers with non-parallel axes allows a complete magnetic field gradient tensor to be obtained with data redundancy, and can reduce crosstalk.

Abstract: An external mount tire pressure sensor system with a stretch sensor (12) having a variable resistance longitudinal displacement characteristic. The stretch sensor (12) is coupled to a processor (14) which samples the resistance of the stretch sensor periodically. The sensor body is attached to the external side wall (19) of a pneumatic tire so that the body is displaced by the tire side wall (19) and the resistance is a function of internal tire pressure. When the processor (14) determines that the pressure is below a threshold value, an r.f. generator (34) is activated by the processor to generate a low tire pressure signal. This signal is converted by a receiver to a warning for the driver.

Abstract: For producing a polyurethane layer by spraying a polyurethane reaction mixture, this mixture is supplied under pressure to a spray nozzle, within the nozzle the reaction mixture is accelerated by passing it through one or more channels having a reduced cross-sectional area, and the accelerated reaction mixture is sprayed, with a predetermined amount of kinetic energy, through a spray opening out of the spray nozzle onto a surface. The channels wherein the reaction mixture is accelerated have a total minimum cross-sectional area of S mm2, S being a value smaller than 1.0, the reaction mixture is sprayed out of the nozzle at a flow rate of between 10×S and 80×S g/sec, and, per gram reaction mixture, an amount of 0.05 to 2.5 mmol of a pressurized gas is sprayed together with the reaction mixture through said spray opening out of the nozzle to increase the kinetic energy of the reaction mixture which is sprayed out of the nozzle. By the addition of a pressurized gas to the reaction mixture, a same or even a better spray pattern can be achieved and the reaction mixture can be sprayed at a smaller flow rate.
