Patent EP-1520395-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ROOVERS DAVID A C M
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2003-06-19
Abstract: An audio enhancement system (1) for speech recognition or voice control is described, comprising a signal input for carrying a distorted desired signal (z), a reference signal input, and a spectral processor (SP) coupled to both signal inputs for processing the distorted desired signal (z) by means of a reference signal (x) acting as an estimate for the distortion of the desired signal. The spectral processor (SP) is equipped for said processing such that a factor C' is determined, whereby said estimate is a function of the factor C' times the spectral power of the reference signal (x), and the factor C is determined as the spectral ratio between those components of the signals z and x, which are essentially stationary with time. Such a factor determined by stationary parts of those signals makes application of a critical speech detector in the audio enhancement system superfluous.

Title: Systeme de verrouillage a deux points
Inventor: VITRY FABRICE
IPC: E05B65/12
Filed: 2003-07-01
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un verrou comportant un axe à crochets boutons permettant de faire tenir ensemble deux panneaux en deux points différents. L'axe du verrou comporte des sièges annulaires dans lesquels tourne l'axe solidaire de l'un des panneaux. L'axe comporte à ses deux extrémités des crochets qui prennent sur une gâche d'un second panneau et se dégagent et libèrent la gâche lorsqu'une force s'exerce sur le bouton de l'axe, faisant ainsi tourner l'axe. Un ressort à torsion précomprimé exerce en permanence une force sur le bouton. Quand un utilisateur appuie sur le bouton et fait donc tourner l'axe de façon à dégager les crochets des gâches, le ressort rappelle l'axe et le bouton dans la position occupée avant l'action par l'utilisateur.

Abstract: A method for mapping from an MPEG-2 transport stream to an IP-based RTP/UDP/IP stack for broadcasting service in a WLAN. All the mapping functions may be performed in a receiver transcoder (Fig. 2). Mobile devices such as laptop computers, cell phones and PDAs have limited battery power, CPU processing and memory resources. To reduce CPU processing power and consumption battery power in these devices certain data processing functions are achieved in the communicating systems, such as the de-multiplexer function (240) that typically prepares an MPEG-2 for retransmission at the local level. When a transcoder, capable of de-multiplexing an MPEG-2 transport stream (105) receives a program it de-multiplexes the stream based on PIDs (204) assigned to each transport packet. This de-multiplexing function extracts several components from a transport stream: video and audio PES/ES (112, 212) associated with programs and PSI (203) (PAT (204, 251) and PMTs (206, 258)).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil permettant de mouler un bouchon en plastique. Cet appareil comprend un système de moule mâle comprenant une tige de formage et un manchon de tige externe qui coopère avec un moule femelle pour définir une cavité de moule. Pour faciliter la séparation mécanique du bouchon moulé de la tige de formage, de l'air sous pression est introduit dans l'enceinte de moulage à travers au moins un passage qui s'étend dans la direction axiale entre la tige de formage et le manchon de la tige. La dilatation vers l'extérieur du bouchon de plastique pendant qu'il est éjecté de la tige de formage permet de réduire sensiblement les forces appliquées sur le bouchon pendant l'éjection, ce qui permet de diminuer le refroidissement nécessaire du bouchon pendant le cycle de moulage avant l'éjection. On obtient ainsi des vitesses de fonctionnement sensiblement accrues de l'appareil de moulage.
