Patent ZA-985607-B (ZA)
Title: Method and apparatus for speech enhancement in a speech communication system.
Inventor: CHANCE ROBERT JAMES
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: The characteristics of the speech received by the decoding unit are altered by a processing unit 10 based upon an analysis of the listener's current background noise before the speech is output to enhance its intelligibility to a listener. An analysis unit 12 determines the type and level of the background noise by use of a microphone 13. A decision unit 11 then determines whether the speech currently being received and replayed would be intelligible to an average listener in the current background noise. If unit 11 determines that the speech is readily intelligible then no processing is necessary and the processing unit 10 does not alter the speech which has been passed to it. However, if unit 11 determines that the speech would be unintelligible, then unit 10 alters the speech before passing it to the output to make the speech more intelligible. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the speech characteristics are altered by altering line spectral pair/formant data representing the speech.

Title: Chair back construction with lumbar support
Inventor: KOEPKE MARCUS C
IPC: A47C5/06
Filed: 2002-06-14
Granted: 2005-12-28
Abstract: A chair back is disclosed and includes a mesh material connected to a two-piece carrier, the carrier being deformable and stretchable. The carrier has a bottom edge including a groove and is engageable by tabs attached to a transverse member of a chair frame assembly. The upper ends of the carrier each includes an opening for receiving a spherical end portion of the upper end of the chair frame assembly. Engagement of the carrier with the chair frame assembly is accomplished by stretching the carrier and mesh between the transverse member and the spherical end portions. The chair back includes a lumbar support which is mounted to slide along the side edges of the carrier and along vertical supports of the chair frame assembly, the lumbar support causing the chair to tension forwardly. The chair back is pivotal under the influence of a chair user and is pivotally connected to the chair seat so as to cause the chair seat to also pivot in response.

Title: Key holder
IPC: A44B15/00
Filed: 1980-10-20
Granted: 1983-09-07
Abstract: A key holder has a rigid gapped ring 1, having a gap which is defined between two mutually facing tips, a thin-walled metal sheath 2 having, near one end, two transverse slots or apertures of asymmetric form permitting the transverse introduction of the tips 4 of the ring 1 from one side only of the sheath 2, i.e. the front side as seen in the drawing, and a slide 3 which is longitudinally slidable inside the sheath 2 and comprises at the position of each of the apertures 5 locking ribs situated on that side of the apertures 5 from which the tips 4 are introduced. The locking ribs partially mask the apertures to prevent the tips 4 from being removed when the slide 3 is slid into a closing position in which it is entirely housed inside the sheath 2. The slide is slidable downwards in the sheath to an opening position in which the ribs are clear of the slots or apertures to enable the ring to be removed and enable keys to be fitted to it or removed from it through the gap between the tips 4.

Granted: 1987-03-04
Abstract: In xerographic recording systems the plain paper substrate (15) may be held in place on a drum or flat bed (45) by constantly applied electrostatic force. A tape, in the form of a closed loop, accepts a magnetic latent image on its sensitised surface at a recording station (18). It subsequently passes to the developing (toning) stage (19) and the cleaning stage for removal of excess toner, before the remaining particles are charged by a corotron or Corotron (35). The Corotron provides an ionising source (37) and a bias screen (39) near to the tape surface to charge the toner particles on the tape prior to transfer of toner to the paper. A switched electrostatic force is applied between the tape (13) and the platen (43) to facilitate the separation of the tape from the paper and this is achieved without adversely affecting the information recorded on the tape or the paper.

Title: Tubular ionising electrode for dust separators or precipitators - has rounded projections which give an even ionic emission
IPC: H01T/
Filed: 1978-12-06
Granted: 1987-03-11
Abstract: Ionising electrodes consist of a rigid tube to which are fixed peripheral projections which diffuse or distribute the emissions of the electrode. The projections may take several forms but are always rounded at the ends. The projections are oriented parallel to the course followed by the gaseous current in an electrostatic precipitator. The arrangement of projections produces an equilibrated emission of ions by the extremities which much reduces the risk of electric discharge. The rounded extremities are only slightly exposed to corrosion due to electric erosion and are mechanically very stable. The electrode is robust and simple.
