Patent EP-0856833-A3 (EP)
Inventor: IKEDA SHIGEJI
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: A noise canceler of the present invention is of the type including an
adaptive filter for generating a pseudo noise signal, subtracting the pseudo
noise signal from a received signal to thereby output an error signal, and
sequentially correcting the filter coefficient of the filter in accordance with the
error signal. A second adaptive filter produces a second pseudo noise signal
and a second error signal. A first and a second power mean circuit each
calculates the signal power of the respective signal. A divider performs
division with the resulting two kinds of signal power, so that a signal-to-noise
power ratio is estimated. A comparator compares the estimated signal-to-noise
power ratio and a delayed version of the same and outputs greater one of them
as an extended signal-to-noise power ratio. A step size output circuit corrects,
based on the extended signal-to-noise power ratio and reference noise signal
power output from a power mean circuit, a step size used to adaptively vary the
filter coefficient of the first adaptive filter.

Umgebung des Innenraumtemperaturfühlers (46) ein anderes Temperaturniveau
einstellt. Diese Veränderung des Temperaturniveaus kann wahlweise im
Umluft-Betriebszustand oder nach Umschaltung auf den Frischluft-Betriebszustand
für eine vorgebbare Anfangszeitspanne berücksichtigt werden.

Abstract: An image-receiving sheet having an opaque detection
mark formed by coating a resin varnish comprising a resin,
a low-boiling good solvent, and a high-boiling poor
solvent, the detection mark being rendered transparent upon
heating, the resin comprising a terpolymer of vinyl
chloride, vinyl acetate, and vinyl alcohol monomers. By
virtue of this constitution, before image formation, the
detection mark has high opacity and can be detected in high
sensitivity, that is, does not cause a lowering in infrared
radiation transmission or reflectance properties before
heating at the time of image information, while when an
image is formed by means of a copying machine or a printer
in high-processing electrophotographic system, thermal
transfer system or the like, heating and application of
pressure at the time of image formation erases the
detection mark to such an extent that the detection mark
is no longer visually noticeable.

Abstract: A bottle having a sterility seal and a method for producing same are
disclosed. The bottle, which can be configured to retain a medicament in powder
or tablet form, features a protective cap configured to engage a transfer assembly
associated with the bottle. The cap includes one or more raised ridges on an
interior surface engageable with a portion of the transfer assembly. A band or
layer configuration of a sealing material such as silicone is applied to the transfer
assembly prior to insertion of the cap thereover. As the cap comes into surface
contact with the sealing material, the ridges cause the material to "roll up" into a
toroidal O-ring configuration, thereby forming a seal between the cap and the
bottle adapted to the dimensional variations of those components. The seal, which
is resilient, is able to withstand harsh handling treatment and pressure or
temperature variations without separation from the cap or bottle, thereby
providing a hermetic seal isolating the transfer assembly and, hence, the
medicament from the outside environment.

terrestrial radio telephone service 19 23 21 25 and to
a satellite telephone service 3 5 13. In the event that
no terrestrial service 19 23 21 25 is available, an

Abstract: A Marchand balun circuit having a pair of coupled
lines (1,6) of quarter wavelength for dividing and/or
combining signals with the same amplitude and opposite
phase with each other is improved by inserting a
cancellation element (3) between said pair of coupled
lines. The cancellation element (3) may be a transmission
line, a capacitor, or an inductor which improves amplitude
difference error and phase difference error of a pair of
outputs by controlling phase velocity for an even mode so
that phase velocity for an even mode becomes equal to that
for an odd mode. Thus, a balun circuit with wide operation
band, and less error of amplitude difference and phase
difference is obtained.

Abstract: A device (20) for delivering a liquid therapeutic preparation into the body of a patient by
injection into or through the skin of the patient comprises a low-profile housing having
a bottom surface adapted to be brought into contact with the skin of the patient. A
reservoir (50) is disposed within the housing for containing a liquid therapeutic preparation
to be administered. An injection needle (54) is disposed generally horizontally in the
housing and is adapted to communicate with the reservoir. The injection needle has a
bent injection end (76) which is adapted to project through a needle aperture in the bottom
surface of the housing. A movable needle carrier (52) is disposed in the housing for carrying
the injection needle and for causing the injection end of the needle to project through
the needle aperure upon movement of the needle carrier. The needle carrier and the
injection needle are disposed in a side-by-side relationship with the reservoir in the
housing in order to minimize the height of the housing above the bottom surface. As a
result the housing is sufficiently low in height to allow the device to be worn
inconspicuously under the clothing of the patient.
