Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de régulation de tension conçu pour être connecté à une alimentation électrique variable et pour réguler la tension fournie à certains circuits sélectionnées dont les charges nécessitent une régulation de la tension. Le dispositif décrit dans cette invention comprend un autotransformateur à modulation d'impulsions en durée ou à commutation d'angle de phase suffisamment compact et léger pour être incorporé dans un bloc consommateur électrique classique qui comprend des circuits séparés, c'est-à-dire, ceux dont les charges nécessitent une régulation de la tension et ceux dont les charges ne nécessitent pas de régulation de la tension, de telle sorte que ces derniers puissent être commandés par le dispositif de manière à fonctionner à une tension constante et réduite permettant ainsi une réduction de la consommation d'énergie et une amélioration de la durée de vie des appareils reliés au dispositif. La température de fonctionnement de l'autotransformateur est régulée par augmentation ponctuelle de la tension de sortie dudit autotransformateur en cas de surchauffe.

Title: Method and device for binaural signal enhancement
Inventor: DOCLO SIMON
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2006-09-08
Granted: 2014-07-29
Abstract: Various embodiments for components and associated methods that can be used in a binaural speech enhancement system are described. The components can be used, for example, as a pre-processor for a hearing instrument and provide binaural output signals based on binaural sets of spatially distinct input signals that include one or more input signals. The binaural signal processing can be performed by at least one of a binaural spatial noise reduction unit and a perceptual binaural speech enhancement unit. The binaural spatial noise reduction unit performs noise reduction while preferably preserving the binaural cues of the sound sources. The perceptual binaural speech enhancement unit is based on auditory scene analysis and uses acoustic cues to segregate speech components from noise components in the input signals and to enhance the speech components in the binaural output signals.

Granted: 2014-02-11
Abstract: The core/shell fibre is made from plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene or a mixture of said raw materials or other thermoplastic polymers. The fibre diameter is 0.15 to 2.0 mm and the core/shell fibre has a completely- or intermittently-structured surface, generated by embossing (5) which is carried out on a single side or multiple sides, the depth of which is at least 10 % of the average fibre diameter. The embossing (5) can be perpendicular or diagonal or in any form with relation to the fibre direction, but in any case is increased by a factor of 5 to 15 after drawing the fibre. The core/shell fibre is cut in sections of 10 to 80mm and collected in bundles of several thousand and wound in a water-soluble plastic film. Said fibres are used to increase the tensile strength, to improve the crush resistance or generally for mechanical reinforcement of cement-bonded building materials, in particular in concrete. The bundles can be incorporated together with the plastic film in the building material with no disadvantages.

Patent CA-2635001-C (CA)
Inventor: ESSENFELD ERVIN
IPC: G01N1/06
Filed: 1998-08-19
Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: A process and apparatus for rapid, continuous flow histological processing of tissues is disclosed. The steps of fixation, dehydration, clearing and impregnation are performed in less than one hour; this allows a pathologist to evaluate samples shortly after receipt, perhaps while the patient is still in the operating room. Rapid and continuous processing is accomplished by decreasing the thickness of tissue sections, use of non-aqueous solutions composed of admixtures of solutions, solution exchange at elevated temperature and with agitation, and impregnation under vacuum pressure. The patient in surgery is thus provided with point-of-care surgical pathology.

Abstract: Provided is a flocculation device which is reduced in size and can effectively magnetic micro flocs and magnetic flocs. In the flocculation device (14), a high rate agitation tank (14A), decelerating vessel (14C) and low rate agitation tank (14B) are incorporated in one casing to form one integral structure. The decelerating vessel (14C) includes two sheetings (42, 44) to decelerate raw water flowing out from the high rate agitation tank (14A) at high speed. The high rate agitation tank (14A), decelerating vessel (14C) and low rate agitation tank (14B) are filled with raw water even after air is evacuated. Even when the flocculation device (14) is loaded in shaky conditions such as ships, the raw water smoothly flows from high rate agitation tank (14A) to low rate agitation tank (14B) via decelerating vessel (14C), without ruffle at each tank (14A, 14C, 14B) of the device (14).

Title: Adjusting acoustic speaker output based on an estimated degree of seal of an ear about a speaker port
Inventor: RANTA CRAIG ERIC
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2008-10-30
Granted: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A degree of seal of an ear about a speaker port may be estimated by detecting touch contact between the ear and at least one touch sensor in fixed relation to the speaker port. The degree of seal is estimated based on the detected touch contact. Based upon the estimated degree of seal, the acoustic output of the speaker may be adjusted. The adjustment may compensate for perceived changes to the quality of the acoustic output resulting from the degree of seal. The at least one touch sensor may be a plurality of touch sensors spaced around the speaker port. Each sensor may have a truncated wedge shape, with a narrow end closest to the speaker port.
