Abstract: The present invention provides an architecture for integrating an inertial navigation system (INS) into a dynamic positioning (DP) system for a vessel. The architecture includes an INS unit (6) and a DP system (1) having a Kalman filter (2) or other algorithm for combining data supplied by a plurality of position measuring equipment (PME) and the INS unit (6) to derive an estimate of the position or speed of the vessel. A switch array (10) is operable under the control of a switch array controller (8) to supply data supplied by one or more of the plurality of position measuring equipment to the INS unit (6) for the purposes of correcting drift. The selection of which of the one or more PME is/are to be combined with the INS unit (6) is made automatically, in real time, to dynamically optimise the DP system (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a hearing instrument for processing an input sound to an output sound according to a user's needs. The invention further relates to a method of estimating acoustic feedback in a hearing instrument. The object of the present invention is to reduce the impact of tonal components in the target input signal on the quality of the estimate of acoustic feedback. The problem is solved in that hearing instrument comprises an input transducer for converting an input sound to an electric input signal and an output transducer for converting a processed electric output signal to an output sound, a forward path being defined between the input transducer and the output transducer and comprising a signal processing unit defining an input side and an output side of the forward path, a feedback loop from the output side to the input side comprising a feedback cancellation system for estimating the effect of acoustic feedback from the output transducer to the input transducer, the feedback cancellation system comprising a feedback path estimation unit receiving first and second estimation input signals from the input and output side of the forward path, respectively, wherein the first and second estimation input signal paths comprise first and second long term prediction filters P(z) each having an input and an output, the feedback cancellation system being adapted to provide that the variable parameters of at least one of the long term prediction filters are estimated based on the input signal to the filter in question. Embodiments of the invention have the advantage of leading to better feedback cancellation, even for tonal input signals. The invention may e.g. be used for the hearing instruments or headsets.

Abstract: A Method and device to determine the relative position of a rotational mechanical element based on the positional signal of a rotational sensing unit attached to the mechanical element is proposed. The positional signal depends of the rotational position of the sensing unit. By operating the mechanical element at a known position and measuring the positional signal of the sensing unit a reference position is determined. The relative position is calculated by using the values of the sensing unit at the reference position, the actual position and a stroke of the mechanical element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of additives for catalysts for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) based on zeolite that is selective for light olefins, with the aim of increasing the yields, in FCC units, of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and light olefins, of high added value, among others propene and isobutene. This invention provides a method of preparation of catalytic compositions, starting from zeolite modified with phosphate and alkaline-earth metal, that leads to the production of an additive with better performance than the additives, of similar compositions, obtained by other methods of the prior art. The process can be regarded as a development in relation to other processes, as it promotes interaction between the zeolite that is selective for light olefins and its activator, reagent "X". For this, a separate stage is used during the sequence of stages in the preparation. Moreover, the zeolite does not undergo additional treatments such as filtration, washing or calcination after the treatment with its activator. 
     This additive can be obtained starting from any commercial zeolite that is selective for light olefins, such as zeolite of type ZSM-5.
