Abstract: In order to suppress as much surrounding noise as possible in a hands-free device in a motor vehicle for example, two microphones (M1, M2) are arranged at a distance from each other. The output signals (MS1, MS2) of said microphones are added in an adder (AD) and subtracted in a subtracter (SU). The adder's (AD) cumulative signal (S) is Fourier transformed in a first Fourier transformer (F1), and the subtracter's (SU) differential signal (D) is Fourier transformed in a second Fourier transformer (F2). A speech pause detector (P) detects speech pauses from the two Fourier transformed R(f) and D(f) during which a third arithmetic unit (R) calculates the transfer function HT of an adaptable transformation filter (TF) from the spectral power density Srr of the cumulative signal (S) and the spectral power density SDD of the differential signal (D). The transfer function of a spectral subtraction filter (SF), at the inlet of which the cumulative signal's (S) Fourier transformed R(f) is located, is created from the spectral power density Srr of the cumulative signal (S) and the interference power density Snn generated by the adaptable transformation filter (TF). The outlet of the spectral subtraction filter (SF) is connected to the inlet of an inverse Fourier transformer (IF), at the outlet of which an audio signal (A) can be picked up in the time domain that is virtually free of surrounding noise.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for collecting data that relate addresses to map-referenced locations. A fleet of delivery trucks delivers items to locations throughout a geographic region. Each item to be delivered includes a tracking code. An electronic code reader device is used to record the tracking code of an item when the item is being delivered. A position determining device, such as a GPS unit, is used to determine a geographic position associated with the delivery of each item. Data indicating the tracking code of an item and the corresponding geographic position associated with the delivery are stored. Then, using data that indicate an address associated with each tracking code, each address is associated with a geographic position. This information is used to revise a geographic database, e.g., to relate addresses to map-referenced locations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An energy absorbing composite tube (10) for both mounting an impact member to a structure and absorbing impact energy. The composite tube (10) includes a mounting portion (16) that is inserted into a sleeve (14) within the structure. A main tubular body portion (26) is provided that is integral with the mounting portion (16). The main tubular body portion (26) has a larger diameter than the mounting portion (16) to provide an impact shoulder (30). A delamination wedge (32) is forced against the shoulder (30) during an impact to cause delamination of the main tubular body portion (26). The delamination process absorbs energy from the impact. The mounting portion (16) slides within the mounting sleeve (14) during the impact so that it remains intact and provides a structural connection between the main tubular body portion (26) and the impact member. The energy absorbing composite tube (10) may be used to replace bumper mounting systems which utilize metallic tubes as part of the bumper mounting/energy absorption system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention solves the problem of transformation of the oscillating motion into one-way circular motion providing for the high coefficient of efficiency. The base of the mechanism is a pendulum (1) with a movable suspension so that generally speaking the mechanism has two degrees of freedom. Short-lived, impulsive displacement of suspension point for the angle of phi = 0, Pi, 2Pi... in the directions reverse to those of the instantaneous velocity of the mass m enables the transformation of motion. The mechanism has a variable structure so that in the intervals of oscillating lever (4) travelling, pendulums have two degrees of freedom, whereas in other intervals the mechanism retains only one degree of freedom. The basic advantage of this mechanism in reference to the existing piston mechanism is its high coefficient of efficiency because the maximum pressure of combustion gases can be brought into harmony with the optimal parameters of the mechanism enabling transformation of motion by appropriate selection of the moment of its application. It is possible to achieve completely dynamically balanced mechanism by symmetrically arranged elements.
