Title: Method and apparatus for suppressing audible noise in speech transmission
Inventor: RUWISCH DIETMAR
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2000-09-20
Granted: 2005-04-26
Abstract: Method and apparatus for suppressing audible noise in speech transmission by means of a multi-layer self-organizing neural network with feedback, comprising a minima detection layer, a reaction layer, a diffusion layer and an integration layer, said layers defining a filter function F(f,T) for noise filtering whereby the neural network recognizes the speech transmission by its time and spectral properties and suppresses the audible noise therefrom. The filter function is used to convert a spectrum B(f,T) free of noise, into a noise-free signal (y(t)) by inverse Fourier transformation. The signal delay caused by processing the signal is so brief that the filter can operate in real-time for telecommunication. All neurons are supplied with an externally set parameter K, the size of which defines the degree of noise suppression of the whole filter.
Patent CA-2320258-C (CA)
Inventor: CONNORS DONALD F JR
IPC: C04B41/89
Filed: 1999-01-14
Granted: 2009-09-01
Abstract: The invention includes a partially densified preform and a method for the densification of one or more porous preforms. The porous preform is heated in the precursor liquid at a temperature sufficient to decompose the precursor liquid and to deposit a first decomposition product of the precursor liquid within the preform. Heating of the preform is ceased in the precursor liquid prior to densifying to the surfaces of the preform, thereby forming a partially densified preform. The densification is completed by chemical vapor deposition in an atmosphere comprising a gaseous precursor that heat decomposes to a second decomposition product within the undensified portions of the preform. The partially densified preform includes a densified region within the preform. The densified region includes a deposited decomposition product of a precursor liquid decomposed by liquid densification. An undensified region of the preform is between the densified region and at least one surface of the preform.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing dissipation rate of fluid ejected into boundary layer
Inventor: BABENKO VICTOR V
IPC: F15D1/12
Filed: 1999-12-30
Granted: 2004-12-21
Abstract: Skin friction reduction on a surface moving relative to a fluid can be obtained by ejecting a polymer-water mixture/solution (9) into the boundary layer. The efficacy of the ejected polymer-water mixture/solution is closely related to polymer dissipation out of the boundary layer and conditioning (i.e., lengthening, unwinding or stretching) of the polymer molecules by liquid shear forces immediately before ejection. The invention is a method and apparatus for conditioning and ejecting a polymer-water mixture/solution (9) that improves drag reduction characteristics of the mixture/solution and maintains the mixture/solution in the boundary layer for as long as possible. By improving the drag-reduction characteristics of the polymer-water mixture/solution and by extending the time it remains in the near-wall region, the ejector can increase the performance an d reduce the volume and storage requirements of a drag-reduction system. Although this invention was intended for polymer-water mixture/solution ejection, it can be used for ejection of any substance into a flowing fluid.

Abstract: A toilet room flush valve includes a body having an inlet and an outlet. There is a valve seat between the inlet and outlet and a valve assembly is movable within the body and positioned to close upon the seat to control flow from the inlet to the outlet. A cover is mounted upon the body and defines a pressure chamber with the valve assembly. There is a bypass connecting the inlet and pressure chamber whereby the pressure therein maintains the valve assembly upon the seat. A flex tube is fixed relative to the cover at one end thereof, with the other end of the flex tube being attached to the valve assembly remote from the pressure chamber. There is a passage in the flex tube opening to the body outlet at one end thereof. A vent passage connects the pressure chamber with the flex tube passage and a pilot controls flow through the vent passage. Movement of the valve assembly toward the cover in response to venting of the pressure chamber causes the flex tube to bend while remaining stationary relative to the cover. A filter is attached to the flex tube and controls the flow of water from the pressure chamber to the vent passage.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une portion de paroi latérale (16), destinée à un contenant (10) en matière plastique utilisé pour recevoir une marchandise et retenir celle-ci pendant une pasteurisation à température élevée, ainsi qu'après refroidissement de cette marchandise. Ce contenant en matière plastique (10) présente une portion supérieure (12) définissant une ouverture scellée par une fermeture, une portion inférieure (14) formant une base ainsi qu'une portion de paroi latérale (16) solidaire de la portion supérieure (12) et s'étendant entre cette portion supérieure (12) et la portion inférieure (14). La portion de paroi latérale (16) comprend des panneaux (17) présentant une portion sous vide (20), formée monobloc dans la paroi latérale (16) et par évidement de celle-ci vers l'intérieur, ainsi qu'une portion sous pression (18) formée monobloc avec la portion sous vide (20). La portion de panneau sous pression est mobile entre une première et une seconde position, pendant la pasteurisation, augmentant ainsi le volume du contenant et évitant toute déformation importante de la portion de paroi latérale (16). Les panneaux (17) sont mobiles entre une position de volume accrue et une position de volume réduite, diminuant ainsi le volume de la marchandise présente dans le contenant (10) et augmentant le volume apparent de cette marchandise dans le contenant (10) lors du refroidissement de celle-ci, après sa pasteurisation à température élevée.

Title: On-board control system and method for vehicles
Inventor: KIKUKAWA HIROSHI
IPC: B60R21/017
Filed: 2002-05-23
Granted: 2005-10-25
Abstract: In an on-board control system, a body ECU (10) executes various control operations in response to the supply of power voltage from a battery (21). There is connected on the power line of the battery (21) a voltage holding circuit (11) which is formed of a capacitor so that the variation of battery voltage slows. A switch input circuit (15) samples the on/off states of external switches (22) periodically under control of a microcomputer (13). The microcomputer (13) determines a fall of battery voltage, causing the switch input circuit (15) to stop sampling of switch states. Stopping the circuit operation and thus reducing the battery load current slows the voltage fall at the occurrence of collision of vehicle, allowing adequate time to store collision data in a collision memory circuit (18).
