Abstract: A saddle tree has asymmetric points to accommodate lodging against shoulder blades of a horse which are in nature themselves asymmetric.  Suitably the points at least at their forward edges are shock absorbing to minimize the effect of concussion with the shoulder blades of the horse. An air pocket may be provided in the saddle to provide rider comfort in the pubic area and to guard rider from damage done by jolting and rubbing in the pubic area.

Title: Facsimile apparatus capable of recognizing hand-written addressing information
Inventor: TAKATA KOICHI
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1996-05-09
Granted: 2001-07-31
Abstract: A facsimile apparatus includes a transmission motor (90), and when an original to be transmitted is moved by the transmission motor in a sub-scanning direction, sequential lines in the sub-scanning direction are scanned by a contact image sensor (100) in a main scanning direction, and therefore, image data of a black dot or a white dot is outputted by the contact image sensor. A microcomputer (60) specifies a line in which a black dot outputted from the contact image sensor first exists as a start line, and specifies an area on the basis of the start line and an end line which is determined by a fact that three white lines in which no black dots are detected appear after the start line. Addressing information is recognized on the basis of the image data outputted from the contact image sensor which is scanning the area.

Abstract: A speech coding system employing an adaptive codebook model of periodicity is augmented with a pitch-predictive filter (PPF). This PPF has a delay equal to the integer component of the pitch-period and a gain which is adaptive based on a measure ofperiodicity of the speech signal. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, speech processing systems which include a first portion comprising an adaptive codebook and corresponding adaptive codebook amplifier and a second portion comprising a fixed codebook coupled to a pitch filter, are adapted to delay the adaptive codebook gain; determine the pitch filter gain based on the delayed adaptive codebook gain, and amplify samples of a signal in the pitch filter based on said determined pitch filter gain. The adaptive codebook gain is delayed for one subframe. The pitch filter gain equals the delayed adaptive codebook gain, except when the adaptive codebook gain is either less than 0.2 or greater than 0.8., in which cases the pitch filter gain is set equal to 0.2 or 0.8, respectively.

Abstract: A flexible electric heater may be formed from multiple congruent planar layers secured to one another to form a laminate in a variety of configurations. A junction box is adhered to the planar layers over an opening in an outer layer. An adhesive catchment area in the laminate is filled with adhesive, and the adhesive extends into the junction box where it fills a second adhesive catchment area. The mass of continuous adhesive thus formed seals and bonds the junction box to the flexible planar layers. Conductors from the electrical heater pass through the adhesive and may be strain relieved.

Title: Bandes a acheminement de fluide presentant des gradients d'energie superficielle
Inventor: OUELLETTE WILLIAM ROBERT
IPC: A61F13/511

Granted: 2004-03-16
Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte, dans un mode préféré de réalisation, à une bande perméable aux fluides comprenant une première surface ou surface se trouvant en contact avec l'utilisateur et une seconde surface ou surface orientée du côté du sous-vêtement. La bande est notamment parfaitement appropriée pour être utilisée comme feuille supérieure d'un article absorbant jetable. Les première et seconde surfaces sont séparées par une partie intermédiaire. La première surface de la bande a une structure présentant une énergie superficielle inférieure à celle de l'énergie superficielle de la partie intermédiaire. Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, la bande comporte une pluralité de régions à énergie superficielle comparativement faible qui forment des gradients d'énergie superficielle, ces régions se raccordant à des surfaces de la bande à énergie superficielle supérieure. La présente invention se rapporte plus particulièrement à une bande perméable aux fluides comportant une pluralité de gradients d'énergie superficielle peu importants qui sont orientés et placés de façon à acheminer efficacement les fluides à l'écart de la première surface ou surface se trouvant en contact avec l'utilisateur. La bande conserve principalement ses propriétés visuelles, tactiles et physiques de matériau substrat tout en obtenant les propriétés d'énergie superficielle désirées. Les bandes d'acheminement de fluides de la présente invention comportent de préférence des régions espacées, discontinues, formant des gradients d'énergie superficielle peu importants sur la première surface afin de faciliter le déplacement peu important des fluides vers des ouvertures ou entrées capillaires afin d'éloigner ceux-ci de la première surface. Ces bandes comprennent également, de préférence, des gradients d'énergie superficielle peu importants, perpendiculaires à la première surface à l'intérieur d'une structure capillaire pour faciliter l'éloignement des fluides de la première surface et leur pénétration dans les capillaires afin d'obtenir un acheminement capillaire des fluides. Les matériaux pour bandes, appropriés pour être utilisés dans la présente invention, comportent des films ajourés, des matériaux ajourés et des matériaux non tissés, ajourés, des structures composites et autres.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing optical signal switching or other optical routing functions in an optical device or system, in which crosstalk induced by modal interference is suppressed by providing appropriate loss, gain and/or refractive index changes in different parts of a switch structure. An exemplary optical signal switch includes first and second branches each having a refraction-controlled section and an absorption-controlled section. An optical signal path over which an optical signal propagates in passing through the switch is selected to include a portion of at least one of the first and second branches, such that one of the first and second branches is a selected branch and the other branch is a non-selected branch. The refraction-controlled section of the selected branch is configured in a high effective refractive index state which allows the optical signal to propagate along at least a portion of the selected branch, while the refraction-controlled section of the non-selected branch is configured in a low effective refractive index state. The absorption-controlled section of the selected branch is configured in a low absorption state, while the absorption-controlled section of the non-selected branch is configured in a high absorption state to reduce crosstalk within the optical switch. An effective refractive index in a given refraction-controlled section may be provided using electro-refractive techniques such as the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) or the Franz-Keldysh effect, or by carrier-induced effects such as carrier injection or carrier depletion. An absorption change in a given absorption-controlled section may be provided using electro-absorptive techniques or a gain-switching technique. The switch may be configured as a Y-branch switch, a directional coupler, or in other suitable configurations, and may be interconnected with other similar switches to construct 1xN, Nx1, NxM and NxN  switch arrays.

Abstract: A dispensing closure is molded as a base having an end wall with a dispensing orifice and a lid having a fixed section and a moveable section joined by an integral hinge. The fixed section of the lid is mounted on the base by a socket and plug connection in which the socket includes a central prong and the plug has a central recess. The socket and plug are sized for an interference fit, but with chamfered edges providing a lead in. In addition, the recess in the plug is tapered at a greater angle than the prong in the socket, so that as the plug engages the socket and the prong enters the recess in the plug, the plug is wedged outward into tight engagement with the socket. Extensions or wings on the moveable section of the lid created by offset of the integral hinge have inwardly projecting knobs which cooperate with outwardly projecting ribs on the raised member on the bare end wall in which the socket isformed.
