Patent EP-0239884-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RUTHEFOORD CHARLES THOMAS
IPC: G06F17/24
Filed: 1987-03-20
Abstract: A method is disclosed for specifying and executing independent, multi-media tasks along a synchronizing time-line, preferably in the form of a spreadsheet matrix with the event elements making up the rows and the time periods the columns. The media include various pieces of hardware such as touch screens, voice synthesizers, video disk players, and the like. In designing a presentation, the author types into the matrix indications of which piece of hardware will be operating and for what specified period of time during the presentation. This information is also accessible to all other events in the presentation thereby allowing complex multi-media presentations to be designed by a user who is relatively unsophisticated in using computers.

Abstract: A method of assaying a sample of whole blood for one member of a specific binding pair, the method involving treating the sample with salt to alter the red blood cells in the sample to decrease their ability to pass through filter media, exposing the resulting sample to a filter which retains the red blood cells but allows the passage therethrough of filtrate of the sample containing the member of the specific binding pair, and mea        suring the member of the filtrate. A kit includes a hypertonic solution in one container, a second container for mixing the solution with a sample, a filter positioned with respect to the second container to permit the mixture to pass from the second container through the filter; and a means for collecting the sample. The filter is capable of retaining red blood cells in the mixture.

Abstract: A process for moulding upholstered chair cushions comprises placing a sheet of upholstery fabric (18;250) between a first die (12;114;156) having sculptured effects thereon and a second die (16;120,126;152,154), the dies being movable toward each other to form a cavity (28) between them. A cushion assembly (20,22;252,254) having a thickness (with the upholstery) greater than the distances between the dies when closed is placed between the open dies after having been coated on at least one side adjacent the upholstery with an air permeable adhesive. The dies are urged together to compress the cushion in the cavity to force the fabric and the cushion to conform to the shape of the first die. Hot vapours are injected into the cavity to shape the cushion and the fabric generally to the sculpted configuration of the sculpted die.

Abstract: A method for forming extremely strong ceramic-to-­metal joints is provided which is particularly applicable to the formation of components for internal combustion engines. The present method simultaneously brazes a ceramic to a metal and creates a normallized microstructure and desired mechanical properties in the metal in a single heating step. The ceramic is metallized, a suitable alloy is applied, and the ceramic-alloy-metal composite is first heated to about 1600°F. to 1750°F. for about one hour and then gas quenched in nitrogen or argon, or a gas with similar heat transfer capabili­ties.

Abstract: While wave digital filters (WDFs) can always be implemented by commercially available integrated digital signal processors (DSPs), the efficiency of such implementations leaves room for improvement. Modified forms of WDFs are therefore derived that yield DSP implementations much more efficient than those previously available. The approach is particularly suitable for lattice WDFs. The modified WDF-structures can be easily built in such a way that they possess all stability properties desired under signal quantization, thus not only absence of small- and large-scale limit cycles but even e.g. forced-response stability and related properties.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed which provide echo-cancellation in subscriber line audio-processing circuits (SLACs) and modulator-demodulator (modems) The echo-canceller provides a response independent of the amplitude of an error signal representing the difference between the desired and generated signal. The convergence of the echo-cancelling is not influenced by the size of the error signal but only by its sign. In a preferred embodiment, a canonic signed digit filter coefficient updating technique is used for a digital filter (10) implementing the echo-cancellation function. A double-talker detector is advantageously used in conjunction with the echo-canceller. Detection of "double-talker" near-end signals inhibits updating of the echo-canceller filter coefficients. Near-end signals are detected by an energy-averaging filter (26) which selectively samples (28) low-pass filtered signals received by the adaptive filter as received from the far-end talker and low-pass filtered signals received from the near-end talker. Near-end speech or signal is detected if the latter signal exceeds a predetermined function of the former signal.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for preparing a supported metallocene alumoxane catalyst for use in the gas phase polymerization of olefins. The invention particularly relates to the use of silica gel containing from about 6 to about 10 percent by weight adsorbed water as the catalyst support material. It has been found that such silica gel may be safely added to an aluminum trialkyl solution to form by direct reaction with the adsorbed water content of the silica gel catalyst support material the alumoxane component of the catalyst system. An alumoxane coated silica gel is formed to which a metallocene may be added and the resulting material dried to free flowing powder. The dry free flowing powder may then be used as a supported metallocene alumoxane catalyst complex for gas phase polymerization of olefins.
