Patent GB-2327022-A (GB)
Title: Speech operated noise attenuation device (SONAD)
Inventor: FERRER ENRIQUE
IPC: H03G3/34
Filed: 1998-04-28
Abstract: A SONAD (110) control system (100) detects a received signal strength (RSSI) for a radio frequency RF signal (102), selects using a control arrangement e.g. a microcomputer (106) a threshold transfer function and using the selected transfer function a threshold control signal to determine the SONAD threshold value. The SONAD device attenuates noise between syllables in the audio circuit of an FM radio receiver. The device minimises low level background noise under strong RF signal conditions. Under weak RF signal conditions e.g. due to Rayleigh fading, the threshold level is lowered thereby decreasing the background noise attenuation to reproduce more natural sounding speech. The SONAD device may be as described in figure 2 (not shown).

Title: Mould for continuous casting of steel billets, mainly of slabs
Inventor: GOSIO GIOVANNI
IPC: B22D11/043
Filed: 1994-05-16
Abstract: An improved mould, particularly suitable for the continuous casting of thin slabs, shows the wide walls having a profile in a vertical plane being formed of a number of curved lines which are radiused to each other, in particular arcs of circumference having a bending radius of a size decreasing downward from a value approaching infinity on the inlet side where the tangent line to the profile is vertical, until reaching with a continuous line the known lower band at the outlet from the mould. The latter is an arc of circumference with the center in the oscillating center of mould, being positioned at a height comprised between the levels of inlet and outlet sides of the mould itself. Preferably the profile pattern is elliptical starting from the inlet side with vertical tangent down to said lower arc of circumference, so that the bending variation is caused to be tendentially continuous.
