Abstract: A runflat tire construction is optimized for tire ride comfort by reducing tire
wall gauges (G1, G2, G3) in the tread-shoulder-to-upper-sidewall transition
region (117a, 117b, 176a, 176b) and compensating with supporting sidewalls
(116, 118, 177, 178) that constantly increase in thickness (gauge) from the
transition region to a bead/flange area (148a, 148b, 172a, 172b) where a chafer
(144a, 144b, 162a, 162b) extends above a wheel rim flange. Thus the bead
and lower sidewall area are reinforced to a maximum and the shoulder area
gets only the minimum stiffness necessary to achieve the required runflat
performance. Within the context of wall gauges that constantly increase from
the transition region to the bead/flange area, a mid-sidewall gauge ratio
(MSGR), being equal to a mid-sidewall gauge (G2) divided by a shoulder gauge
(G1), is approximately within the range of 1.1 to 1.4, preferably approximately
equal to 1.3; and a bead/flange gauge ratio (BFGR), being equal to a
bead/flange gauge (G3) divided by a shoulder gauge (G1), is approximately
within the range of 1.5 to 1.8, preferably approximately equal to 1.7.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for encoding an audio signal. In a first
embodiment a model relating to temporal masking of sound provided to a human ear is
provided. A temporal masking index is determined in dependence upon a received
audio signal and the model using a forward and a backward masking function. Using a
psychoacoustic model a masking threshold is determined in dependence upon the
temporal masking index. Finally, the audio signal is encoded in dependence upon the
masking threshold. The method has been implemented using the MPEG-1
psychoacoustic model 2. Semiformal listening test showed that using the method for
encoding an audio signal according to the present invention the subjective high quality
of the decoded compressed sounds has been maintained while the bit rate was reduced
by approximately 10%. In a second embodiment, the inharmonic structure of audio
signals is modeled and incorporated into the MPEG-1 psychoacoustic model 2. In the
model, the relationship between the spectral components of the input audio signal is
considered and an inharmonicity index is defined and incorporated into the MPEG-1
psychoacousic model 2. Informal listening tests have shown that the bit rate required
for transparent coding of inharmonic (multi-tonal) audio material can be reduced by
10% if the modified psychoacoustic model 2 is used in the MPEG 1 Layer II encoder.

Abstract: The method for producing an expanded, shaped pellet products with an annular cavity includes extruding a mixture to form a tubular extrudate. This is formed by extruding dough around and through a die insert having one or more sources for injecting air, other inert gas, or liquid into an annular cavity into a portion of the tubular extrudate. After exiting the extruder, the shaped extrudate initially expands at it exits the extruder die but is then stretched so as to substantially return the extrudate to an unexpanded state. Thereafter, the stretched extrudate is cut into shaped pellets with annular cavities. Upon being further heated, for example, in a hot air puffer, the pieces are puffed to produce expanded, shaped snack products with annular cavities without the need for a dehydration and/or conditioning step.

Abstract: The invention relates to studies of internal structures of objects with the aid of
optical means. According to the invention an optical system (15) of the delivering device
for low coherence optical radiation, in a particular embodiment, an optical fiber probe (8),
includes at least two lens components (19), (20), which have a positive focal power and
are positioned substantionally confocally. This ensures a constant propagation time for the
low coherence optical radiation propagating from a given point of the transverse scanning
surface (28) or (39) to a corresponding conjugate point of the image plane (22). That
provides elimination of the transverse scanning related aberration of the optical path
length for low coherence optical radiation directed towards the object (11) both for a flat
transverse scanning surface (28) and for a transverse scanning surface (39) having a
curvature. In another embodiment, together with the substantionally confocal arrangement
of lens components (19), (20), the longitudinal scanning is performed by varying the
optical path length for the low coherence optical radiation propagating from the transverse
scanning surface (28) to the optical system (15), i.e., from the end face (17) of the distal
part (18) of the optical fiber (14) to the optical system (15). To achieve this, a device for
longitudinal scanning (10) is incorporated into the optical fiber probe (8). This ensures a
corresponding shift of the focusing position of the low coherence optical radiation during
longitudinal scanning, i.e., allows for alignment of the focusing position of the low
coherence optical radiation with the position of the coherence gate and, consequently,
their simultaneous movement.
