Title: Frame-based audio coding with video/audio data synchronization by dynamic audio frame alignment
Inventor: FIELDER LOUIS DUNN
IPC: G10L25/00
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: Several audio signal processing techniques may be used in various combinations to improve the quality of audio represented by an information stream formed by splice editing two or more other information streams. The techniques are particularly useful in applications that bundle audio information with video information. In one technique, gain-control words conveyed with the audio information stream are used to interpolate playback sound levels across a splice. In another technique, special filterbanks or forms of TDAC transforms are used to suppress abasing artifacts on either side of a splice. In yet another technique, special filterbanks or crossfade window functions are used to optimize the attenuation of spectral splatter created at a splice. In a further technique, audio sample rates are converted according to frame lengths and rates to allow audio information to be bundled with, for example, video information. In yet a further technique, audio blocks are dynamically aligned so that proper synchronization can be maintained across a splice. An example for 48 kHz audio with NTSC video is discussed.

Title: Field emission devices
Inventor: TUCK RICHARD ALLAN
IPC: H01J9/02
Filed: 1998-10-22
Abstract: A field electron emission cathode is manufactured by depositing on an insulating substrate (300), by low resolution means, a sequence of a first conducting layer (301), a field emitting layer (302) and a second conducting layer (303) to form at least one cathode electrode. There is then deposited on the cathode electrode by low resolution means, a sequence of an insulating layer (304) and a third conducting layer (305), to form at least one gate electrode. The structure thus formed is then coated with a photoresist layer (306). The photoresist layer (306) is then exposed by high resolution means to form at least one group of emitting cells, the or each such group being located in an area of overlap between a cathode electrode and gate electrode.  To complete the cells, the conducting and insulating layers (305, 304, 303) are etched sequentially to expose the field emitting layer (302) in the cells, and remaining areas of the photoresist layer (306) are removed. Thus, field emitting materials and devices can be manufactured using relatively low cost techniques.

Title: Petroleum resid pelletization
Inventor: SUBRAMANIAN MURUGESAN
IPC: C10L5/48
Filed: 2000-11-17
Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for making substantially spherical, homogenous petroleum resid pellets having a size range between 0.1 and 10 mm, a penetration of essentially 0, a softening point temperature from about 200° to about 400°F, a residual water content of from 0.1 to 10 weight percent, and a sulfur content less than 10 weight percent. The process includes feeding the material in a molten state to a rotating prilling head to discharge the material into free space at an upper end of a pelletizing vessel having a diameter larger than a throw-away diameter of the discharged material, allowing the discharged material to break apart, form into substantially spherical liquid pellets, and fall downwardly into a liquid spray and/or bath to solidify the pellets. The apparatus has an upright pelletizing vessel with an upper prilling zone, a sphere-forming zone below the prilling zone, a cooling zone below the sphere-forming zone, a bath below the cooling zone, and a prilling head in the prilling zone rotatable along a vertical axis and having a plurality of discharge orifices for throwing molten material radially outwardly. A vertical height of the sphere-forming zone is sufficient to allow material discharged from the prilling head to form substantially spherical liquid pellets. Nozzles are provided for spraying water inwardly into the cooling zone to cool and at least partially solidify the liquid pellets to be collected in the bath. Also disclosed is pretreatment of a soft resid (softening point temperature below 200°F) by air oxidation to produce a hard resid suitable for feed to the prilling head.

Patent CA-2341322-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NEWTON RICHARD W
IPC: F04C18/08
Filed: 2001-03-23
Abstract: An improved blower configuration for implementing the Compression Path Control (CPC) process. By having the refrigerant liquid spray injectors fire directly into the compression chamber, unwanted interaction between the spray and the exhaust vapor is eliminated, facilitating a more accurate execution of the CPC cycle, thus maximizing the achieved performance improvement. The potential for rotor damage due to erosion effects is reduced by hard coating of the rotors and orientation of the spray path to reduce the relative velocity between the spray and the rotors.
