Abstract: A bushing-type rubber spring which can be loaded predominantly in one direction and comprises two supporting bodies (1, 2) which surround one another in an axially parallel arrangement and are supported on one another by means of a rubber spring body, the spring body being vulcanised onto the inner supporting body (1), the inner supporting body (1) being arranged displaced against the load direction, and the displacement being dimensioned such that, after application of the load which is to be borne in accordance with the specification in the vibration-free state, the operating position of the two supporting bodies with respect to one another is produced. Seen in the load direction, the spring body has a larger cross-section in the circumferential direction behind the centre line of the inner supporting body than in front of it, and the allocation of the inner supporting body to the outer supporting body is defined before the application of the load which is to be borne, by means of elastic compression of the spring body between the supporting bodies. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Input data is efficiently variable length coded by using a variable length coding table selected from among a plurality of variable length coding tables (23C, 23D) in accordance with a coding efficiency. It is thus possible further to improve variable length coding efficiency as compared with a case using only one variable length coding table. As a result, when generating information content equal to that generated by using only one variable length coding table, it is possible to process quantized data with a smaller quantization size and further to improve the quality of information transmitted as coded data.

Abstract: An audio signal recording and reproduction apparatus enabling a low frequency band signal component to be reproduced by existing reproduction apparatuses and a high frequency band component to be processed as well. A digital audio signal is divided (1) into a low frequency band signal component and high frequency band signal component by a frequency band division filter (1) . The low band signal component is subjected to straight PCM processing to maintain compatibility with existing reproduction methods. The high frequency band signal component is subjected to high frequency coding through a requantization circuit (5) and entropy coding circuit (6). A comparison circuit compares (8) the straight PCM signals and the high efficiency coded signals to determine if they will fit into a predetermined bit length and, when not fitting, causes the requantization circuit (5) to perform requantization to shorten the bit length. The bit redistribution circuit (9) performs redistribution between the straight PCM bit data and the high efficiency coded bit data. The wave data is recorded on a CD. On the CD may also be recorded the sub-code data of an entropy coding circuit and the number of requantization bits of a requantization circuit (5).

Abstract: Apparatus and method for radially expanding a tubular member having an inner diameter, such as a U-shaped heat transfer tube (60) having ends (87) thereof located in the confined space adjacent the curved sides of the bowl-shaped lower plenum (50) of a typical nuclear steam generator (10). The apparatus includes an elongate mandrel (210) having a flow channel (490) therethrough in communication with a resilient tubular bladder (220) surrounding the mandrel. The bladder is flexible about its longitudinal axis due to the ribbed construction (570) of the wall thereof. The mandrel includes a plurality of segments (280/360410/460), adjacent ones of the segments interconnected by a ball-and-socket joint therebetween, so that the segments swivel about respective ones of the ball-and-socket joints. In this manner, the mandrel flexes as it is inserted into the tube end located in the confined space defined by the sides of the bowl-shaped lower plenum of the steam generator. The mandrel also flexes as it traverses the upper U-bend portion (85) of the tube. Thus, the mandrel and the expandable bladder connected thereto are flexible rather than rigid in order to be easily inserted into the tube ends located adjacent the curved sides of the bowl-shaped plenum and in order to easily traverse the upper U-bend portion of the tube. A pressurizer (600) supplies pressurized fluid to the channel to controllably expand the bladder into intimate engagement with the tube in order to radially expand the tube. The mandrel is also capable of similarly expanding repair sleeves (185) disposed concentrically in the tube.
