IPC: G10L19/02

Abstract: A method for compression encoding of digital speech signals is provided in which the digital speech signals are divided at a predetermined time interval into plural frequency bands so as to be sub-divided along both the time scale and the frequency scale to form plural sub-blocks, and data encoding is performed using an allocation bit number determined for each of said sub-blocks. The total number of bits that may be used for bit allocation is divided into at least two portions, with the bits of one of theses portions being allocated in dependence upon the allowable noise level based on aural characteristics and with the bits of the remaining portion being allocated in dependence upon the intensities of signals in each sub-block. The number of bits allocated to each of the small-sized sub-blocks are determined by the sum of the bits of the two portions. In addition to the total number of bits that may be used for bit allocation, a number of bits can also be set for the subsidiary information at least including the floating information and the bit length information. The aural characteristics may be combined from at least the masking threshold and the minimum audibility curve and corrected by the equal-loudness curve.

Abstract: Gas generator filter (36) is formed by spirally winding a sequence of elongate elements onto a rotating mandrel (18). First perforate support material (12) is wound onto the mandrel and opposing edges of the perforate material are joined to form a cylindrical core. One or more filter layers each comprising a layer of filter media (22) overwound with a layer of gas permeable support screen material (24) are wound on to the core. The filter layers are held in place by one or two outer layers of gas permeable screen material, the outermost layer being connected to that immediately beneath it. Filter units (36) of the required length are cut from the filter (32) formed by this continuous process. The filter media (22) is ceramic filter paper. The screen materials are made of carbon steel, nickel-plated carbon steel or 300 series stainless steel.

Abstract: A contact plate (2) has at least one of first contact portion (2a, 2b, 2c or 2d) provided thereon. A contact member (5 and 3) comprises at least one second contact portion (3a, 3b, 3c or 3d) wherein an operating force applied thereto may cause the second contact portion (3a, 3b, 3c or 3d) to touch the first contact portion (2a, 2b, 2c or 2d) so that predetermined electrical contacting is established. The causing of the second contact portion (3a, 3b, 3c or 3d) touching the first contact portion (2a, 2b, 2c or 2d) results from an operating force elastically transforming the shape of the contact member (5 and 3). A tilting mechanism (4b, 10 and 11) functions to tilt the contact member (5 and 3) with respect to the contact plate (2) in response to an operating force being applied to the contact member (5 and 3). The tilting occurs as a result of the tilting mechanism (4b, 10 and 11) defines a manner of the elastic transformation of the contact member (5 and 3).

Abstract: A process of electrolytic machining holes of uniform diameter in a conductive workpiece, particularly one having a slotted lower portion. Drilling is accomplished electrochemically by providing a conductive tube, passing an electrolytic fluid through the tube to the workpiece, and passing a DC current between the tube and the workpiece through the electrolyte . The DC current causes material from the workpiece to "deplate" into the electrolyte, resulting in the formation of the hole. Hole diameter is made uniform by maintaining the supplied DC current constant, despite sudden changes in the conductivity of the electrolyte, the workpiece or both.
