Abstract: A closed-loop, multimode, mixed-domain linear prediction (MDLP) speech coder includes a high-rate, time-domain coding mode, a low-rate, frequency-domain coding mode, and a closed-loop mode-selection mechanism for selecting a coding mode for the coder based upon the speech content of frames input to the coder. Transition speech (i.e., from unvoiced speech to voiced speech, or vice versa) frames are encoded with the high-rate, time-domain coding mode, which may be a CELP coding mode. Voiced speech frames are encoded with the low-rate, frequency-domain coding mode, which may be a harmonic coding mode. Phase parameters are not encoded by the frequency-domain coding mode, and are instead modeled in accordance with, e.g., a quadratic phase model. For each speech frame encoded with the frequency-domain coding mode, the initial phase value is taken to be the initial phase value of the immediately preceding speech frame encoded with the frequency-domain coding mode. If the immediately preceding speech frame was encoded with the time-domain coding mode, the initial phase value of the current speech frame is computed from the decoded speech frame information of the immediately preceding, time-domain-encoded speech frame. Each speech frame encoded with the frequency-domain coding mode may be compared with the corresponding input speech frame to obtain a performance measure. If the performance measure falls below a predefined threshold value, the input speech frame is encoded with the time-domain coding mode.

Abstract: Leaching of solid matter from a sludge uses a tubular reactor which is equipped with a concentric central pipe and a double-action mixer. The mixer is located in the vicinity of the central pipe's lower edge. Leaching solid matter from a sludge with the aid of an oxygen-containing gas uses a tubular reactor. The reactor is equipped with a concentric central pipe (2), and a double-action mixer (5) in the vicinity of central pipe's lower edge (7). With the aid of the mixer, the sludge flows downward in the central pipe, and then turns upward outside the central pipe as the gas is fed at the same time into the sludge and dispersed into small bubbles. The mixer preferably has nearly rectangular straight lower blades which facilitate the dispersion of the gas and the turning of the discharge sludge into the upward flow. It has curved upper blades which facilitate the downward flow of the sludge in the central pipe. It is preferred that the cross-section area remaining between the mixer and the central pipe is adjusted to be less than half (preferably at most one third) of the flow cross-section area in the central pipe and the lower edge of the central pipe is at a height (measured form the reactor bottom) of 0.7-1.3 times that of the reactor diameter, preferably the same as the diameter. The cross-section ratio of the central pipe and its surrounding reactor casing is preferably below 0.1.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de production d'acrylate de n-butyle (BuAca) consistant à estérifier de l'acide acrylique (HacA) avec un n-butanol (n-BuOH) dans une zone de réaction, à obtenir un condensat à partir des vapeurs de tête de la zone de réaction qui se séparent en phases organiques et aqueuses, à amener la phase organique comprenant une partie importante de BuAcA et une partie moins importante de BuOH, de l'eau et des impuretés en fractions légères à une zone de fractionnement de finition de laquelle on obtient un soutirage latéral d'un BuAcA fini de grande pureté et un condensat de tête contenant BuAca, BuOH, de l'eau et des fractions légères. Le procédé consiste ensuite à envoyer la majeure partie du condensat de tête de la zone de finition à la zone de réaction, à amener le condensat restant à une zone de récupération du produit purgé conjointement à un flux d'eau d'appoint, à obtenir un condensat de tête de la zone de récupération du produit purgé, qui se sépare en phases organiques et aqueuses, chacune contenant une partie des fractions légères produites dans la réaction. Le procédé consiste encore à envoyer une partie de la phase organique en tant que reflux à la zone de récupération du produit purgé et à retirer le restant, à envoyer au moins une partie de la phase aqueuse en tant qu'alimentation à la zone de récupération du produit purgé et à éliminer le restant. Le retrait de parties des deux phases du condensat de tête a pour effet d'empêcher ou de retarder l'accumulation de fractions légères dans le système, tandis que les quantités d'eau dans le flux d'eau d'appoint et la partie recyclée de la phase aqueuse du condensat de tête, envoyées à la zone de récupération du produit purgé forment des azéotropes à faible température d'ébullition contenant des composants des fractions légères, ce qui permet une séparation des fractions légères du BuAcA et du BuOH dans la partie purgée de la tête de la zone de finition.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to recycle meltable, foamed synthetic material, especially expanded polystryrol (EPS). In a disintegration step, the collected synthetic material is disintegrated into edged chips in a transportable disintegration unit (5) by means of electrically heatable cutting grids (16). Said unit is operated at the respective collecting point by means of a current generator (3, 3') that is operated by an internal combustion engine (2, 14). The resulting cutting gases are supplied to the combustion air of the internal combustion engine (2, 14) which operates the current generator and are burned together with the combustion air. The waste can thus be disintegrated at the collecting points without the resulting chips loosing the closed outer skin thereof and without fearing environmental damages due to the occurring cutting gases. Disintegration increases transport capacity.

Abstract: The invention estimates a cardiac performance value such as cardiac output (CO) and cardiac ejection fraction (EF) by sensing a downstream indicator concentration signal y(t) that corresponds to an indicator (preferably heat) signal x(t) injected upstream in a patient's blood channel. The signal x(t) is preferably generated as a series of alternating transitions between a high state and a low state, such as a PRBS signal. The signal y(t) is then divided into at least one sub-signal that is synchronous with x(t). A decay parameter τ that minimizes a cost function that includes a time-domain channel relaxation model is then calculated. The cardiac performance value is then calculated based on this value for τ. For each transition of the injected indicator signal, a corresponding segment of the indicator concentration signal is preferably isolated, and a segment relaxation parameter is then calculated. The decay parameter τ is then estimated as a predetermined function of the segment relaxation parameters. In embodiments of the invention in which x(t) is periodic, the invention also generates estimates of τ by finding the minimum of a cost function between a model of the channel and an average of several cycles of y(t), each corresponding to one period of x(t).

Abstract: A method and device are described for generating two output signals (I; Q) each substantially identical to a square-wave input signal (A) from a local oscillator ( 2 ), wherein the first output signal (I) may have a certain time shift with respect to the input signal (A), and wherein the second output signal (Q) is shifted over T<SUB>1</SUB>/4 [mod T<SUB>1</SUB>] with respect to the first output signal (I), T<SUB>1 </SUB>being the period of the input signal (A). To generate the first output signal (I), Fourier components (S<SUB>1</SUB>(omega<SUB>1</SUB>), S<SUB>3</SUB>(omega<SUB>3</SUB>), S<SUB>5</SUB>(omega<SUB>5</SUB>), S<SUB>7</SUB>(omega<SUB>7</SUB>), S<SUB>9</SUB>(omega<SUB>9</SUB>), S<SUB>11</SUB>(omega<SUB>11</SUB>) etc) of the input signal are combined. To generate the second output signal (Q), Fourier components (S<SUB>1</SUB>(omega<SUB>1</SUB>), S<SUB>5</SUB>(omega<SUB>5</SUB>), S<SUB>9</SUB>(omega<SUB>9</SUB>) etc) of the input signal are phase shifted over +90° while Fourier components (S<SUB>3</SUB>(omega<SUB>3</SUB>), S<SUB>7</SUB>(omega<SUB>7</SUB>), S<SUB>11</SUB>(omega<SUB>11</SUB>) etc) of the input signal are phase shifted over -90°, and the thus shifted Fourier components of the input signal are combined.

Abstract: The circuit for adaptive suppression of noise is a component part of a digital-hearing aid, consists of two microphones ( 1, 2 ), two AD-converters ( 3, 4 ), two compensating filters ( 5, 6 ), two retarding elements ( 7, 8 ), two subtractors ( 9, 10 ), a processing unit ( 11 ), a DA-converter ( 13 ), an earphone ( 15 ) as well as the two filters ( 17, 18 ). The method for adaptive suppression of noise can be implemented with the indicated circuit. The two microphones ( 1, 2 ), provide two differing electric signals (d<SUB>1</SUB>(t), d<SUB>2</SUB>(t)), which are digitalized in the two AD-converters ( 3, 4 ) and pre-processed together with the two fixed compensation filters ( 5, 6 ). Downstream the compensation filters are arranged the two filters ( 17, 18 ) symmetrically crosswise in a forward direction and having adaptive filter coefficients (w<SUB>1</SUB>, w<SUB>2</SUB>). The filter coefficients (w<SUB>1</SUB>, w<SUB>2</SUB>) are calculated by a stochastic gradient procedure and updated in real time while minimizing a quadratic cost function consisting of cross-correlation terms. As a result of this, spectral differences of the input signals are selectively amplified. With a suitable positioning of the microphones ( 1, 2 ) or selection of the directional characteristics, the signal to noise ratio of output signals (s<SUB>1</SUB>, s<SUB>2</SUB>) compared to that of the individual microphone signals (d<SUB>1</SUB>(t), d<SUB>2</SUB>(t)) can be significantly increased. Preferably, one of the two improved output signals (s<SUB>1</SUB>, s<SUB>2</SUB>) within one of the processing units ( 11, 12 ) is subjected to the usual processing specific to hearing aids, sent to one of the DA-converters ( 13, 14 ) and acoustically output once again through one of the earphones ( 15, 16 ). Four additional cross-over element filters ( 19-22 ) carry out a signal-dependent transformation of the input and output signals (y<SUB>1</SUB>, y<SUB>2</SUB>; s<SUB>1</SUB>, s<SUB>2</SUB>), and solely the transformed signals are utilized for the updating of the filter coefficients (w<SUB>1</SUB>, w<SUB>2</SUB>). This makes possible a rapidly reacting, and nonetheless calculation-efficient updating of the filter coefficients (w<SUB>1</SUB>, w<SUB>2</SUB>), and in contrast to other methods only causes minimal audible distortions.
