Patent EP-0481576-A3 (EP)
IPC: C25D17/00
Filed: 1991-10-11
Abstract: 2.1 In electrolytic processes using membranes, it is essential to ensure a sufficiently good flow at the membrane surfaces to avoid coating the membranes with interfering reaction products originating from the process solutions. The object is to find a constructional solution for the forced movement of electrolyte. This solution should be universally applicable in membrane electrolytic cells and less expensive in terms of apparatus than a pump circuit. 2.2 A membrane electrolytic module is proposed which contains air jets (4) underneath the membrane (3) both in the electrode space (6) and in the process solution space (7) over the entire width of the membrane. Guide grids (5) which allow the flow through are positioned at the surface of the membrane. 2.3 The membrane electrolytic module is suitable for use in membrane electrolytic cells intended for a very wide range of applications, for example for producing electrodeposited coatings, for regenerating electroplating baths and for electrolytic purification of waste water.

Title: Penetrator ammunition for targets with high mechanical resistance
IPC: F42B12/20
Filed: 1991-01-15
Abstract: The invention concerns a perforating munition for targets possessing high mechanical strength. A perforating munition, released at very low altitude to prevent destruction by ground-air defense systems, possesses a braking system constituted by a parachute (24) to give the velocity vector of the munition a position that is as close as possible to the vertical, thus enabling an improvement in the effectiveness of the munition on impact. To improve the positioning of the velocity vector with respect to the vertical, the munition has a curvature correction device comprising a back projector (13) that is fixedly joined to the rear part (2) of the munition and is positioned in a ring-like way around a front part (1) of the munition, so as to reduce the curvature of the munition in order to increase the effectiveness of the munition.

Title: Method and apparatus for uniformly drying moving webs
IPC: F23D14/60
Filed: 1983-12-06
Abstract: A flame intensity controller for controlling the air/gas mixture introduced into a conveying and/or mixing chamber (24). Plural heating arrays (106, 108, 110, 112) are transversely aligned to the direction of movement to dry the moving web (W). The controller (128, 130) selectively controls the heating intensity of each section (42) of the heating arrays to thereby control the amount of drying experienced by each longitudinal section of the web. The controller may be a countercurrent air controller (52, 54, 56, 58) or a mechanical restrictor (212). The energy output of each section is controlled between adjustable upper and lower energy levels. However, the lower energy level is preferably chosen to be sufficient to sustain combustion. The independent control of the dryer sections provides dramatic improvement in uniformity of the moisture "profile" across the web. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0664272-A3 (EP)
IPC: B66F9/24
Filed: 1994-12-01
Abstract: A load (12) is gripped between a pair of load-engaging 
surfaces (14, 16) while the magnitude of any 
slippage between the load and the surfaces is variably 
sensed. A slip-correcting system variably predetermines an 
increase in the grip sufficient at least to decelerate the 
sensed magnitude of slippage, and the grip is automatically 
variably increased accordingly. The magnitude of slippage 
sensed is preferably a magnitude of relative movement 
between the load (12) and the load-engaging surfaces (14, 
16), and preferably this magnitude of relative movement is 
a time-based magnitude such as acceleration. The 
predetermined increase in the grip resulting from the 
sensed magnitude of slippage is preferably a predetermined 
increase in the proximity of the load-engaging surfaces 
(14, 16), rather than any particular increase in the 
gripping force applied by the surfaces. A preferred fluid-powered 
embodiment of the clamp apparatus is disclosed for 
use on lift trucks in handling paper rolls and the like.

Abstract: The invention features an apparatus and method for detecting
recording errors in a telephone network that provides services to
a plurality of customers, the method comprising: recording
information output by the telephone network relating to the
provision of a service to the customers, the information having a
periodic pattern; identifying disturbances in the periodic
pattern that persist for longer than a predetermined time period;
and generating an alarm when the identified disturbances exceed a
threshold. Th invention also features using a model to generate
a forecast of information that will be output by the network in a
time period that has not yet occurred utilizing information
recorded during a previous time period, the model including a
plurality of states representing disturbances in the periodic
pattern, each state representing a disturbance having a different
persistence. The system obtains information output by the
telephone network relating to the provision of the service to the
customers during a time period; compares the forecast with the
information obtained during the time period to generate a
deviation; uses the deviation to update each of the states; and
generates an alarm when a selected one of the states exceeds a
threshold.

Patent EP-0742649-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SALMINEN ARI
IPC: G01R29/00
Filed: 1996-03-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a directional coupler arrangement and measurement of
radio frequency electric power with a directional coupler arrangement, which
arrangement comprises a directional coupler, in which a terminal impedance, a
detector element and a control circuit are connected between the end of the
second conductor element and the earth potential. The impedance value of the
terminal impedance can be altered by means of an electric control signal and said
control circuit produces said control signal on the basis of the signal provided by
the detector element. When the detected power level is low, the control circuit
increases the impedance value of the terminal impedance, whereby the peak
voltage of the signal applied to one end of the directional coupler increases and
the arrangement yields a measurement result that is larger than ordinary, which
improves the accuracy and reliability of the arrangement at low power levels.

Abstract: In a light source for generating light containing multiple
wavelengths substantially uniform in intensity, a wavelength
demultiplexing element 10 (for example, waveguide-type
wavelength selecting filter) demultiplexes input light into a
plurality of wavelengths 1 through 32. Optical amplifiers

element 12 is applied to a fiber coupler 16 which, in turn,
applies one of its outputs to the wavelength demultiplexing
element 10. The optical amplifiers 14 have a gain larger by
approximately 10 dB than the loss in the optical loop made of
the element 10, optical amplifier 14, element 12 and fiber

Abstract: A speech synthesizing system using a redundancy-reduced waveform
database is disclosed. Each waveform of a sample set of voice segments
necessary and sufficient for speech synthesis is divided into pitch waveforms,
which are classified into groups of pitch waveforms closely similar to one
another. One of the pitch waveforms of each group is selected as a
representative of the group and is given a pitch waveform ID. The waveform
database at least comprises a pitch waveform pointer table each record of
which comprises a voice segment ID of each of the voice segments and pitch
waveform IDs the pitch waveforms of which, when combined in the listed
order, constitute a waveform identified by the voice segment ID and a pitch
waveform table of pitch waveform IDs and corresponding pitch waveforms.
This enables the waveform database size to be reduced. For each of pitch
waveforms the database lacks, one of the pitch waveform IDs adjacent to the
lacking pitch waveform ID in the pitch waveform pointer table is used without
deforming the pitch waveform.
