Abstract: Production of mixed ammonium-metal salts of iminodisuccinic acid involves mixing maleic anhydride with alkali hydroxide (optional) and water, adding ammonia to form the ammonium salt of iminodisuccinic acid and then reacting with metal oxide, hydroxide or other salt.  A method for the production of iminodisuccinic acid ammonium/metal salts (I) involves: (a) mixing maleic anhydride (MA), alkali hydroxide and water in a mol ratio of 2:(0-3):(5-30) and then adding ammonia in the ratio (MA):(ammonia) = 2:(1.5-8) to form an iminodisuccinic acid ammonium salt of formula IDS(NH4)x(Na)y(K)z(H)m (II) and then (b) reacting compound (II) with metal oxide, metal hydroxide and/or other metal salts to form the mixed salt of formula IDS(NH4)x'(Na)y(K)z(M)m'.(NH3)n (III).  IDS = iminodisuccinic acid residue; x = 0.1-4; x' = 0.1-3.9; y, z = 0-3; m = 0-2; m' = 0.1-2; n = 0-6; and M = Main Group II, III or IV metals, Sub-Group I-VIII metals, or lanthanides (in the oxidation state 1, 2, 3 or 4) Independent claims are also included for  (1) ammonium salts (II) (2) ammonium salts of formula IDS(NH4)x''(H)y'' (IV) (3) ammonium/metal salts (III), except for the S,S-isomers of the calcium and magnesium ammonium/metal salts x'' = 2-4; and y'' = 0-2.

Abstract: In an analog-to-digital converter (100), a method and apparatus
compare (302) an analog input signal (102) with a reference signal (108) to
generate a decision signal (110), and sum (304) the analog input signal with a
control value (130) whose magnitude is determined by an accumulated value

IPC: H04S3/00
Filed: 2003-06-24
Abstract: Part of the spectrum of two or more input signals is encoded using conventional coding
techniques, while encoding the rest of the spectrum using binaural cue coding (BCC). In BCC coding,
spectral components of the input signals are downmixed and BCC parameters (e.g., inter-channel level
and/or time differences) are generated. In a stereo implementation, after converting the left and right
channels to the frequency domain, pairs of left- and right-channel spectral components are downmixed to
mono. The mono components are then converted back to the time domain, along with those left- and
right-channel spectral components that were not downmixed, to form hybrid stereo signals, which can
then be encoded using conventional coding techniques. For playback, the encoded bitstream is decoded
using conventional decoding techniques. BCC synthesis techniques may then apply the BCC parameters
to synthesize an auditory scene based on the mono components as well as the unmixed stereo
components.

Abstract: The outer peripheral surface of a swing piston  (28)  is formed in a non-circular
form. The inner peripheral surface of a cylinder chamber  (25)  is formed
on a basis of an envelope curve of the outer peripheral surface of the swing piston
 (28)  obtained at the time of its swing. The outer peripheral surface of the swing
piston  (28)  and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder chamber  (25)  are
formed in, e.g., an ovoid shape so that as compared to the case in which such inner
and outer peripheral surfaces are formed in a circular form, a shorter compression
cycle and a longer discharge cycle can be obtained at the time of swing of the
swing piston  (28 ). As a result, an overcompression loss when a refrigerant is
discharged in a swing compressor can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention expands a spinal canal by drilling a cylindrical passage in each pedicle of a vertebra, making a circumferential pedicle cut (osteotomy) through each pedicle from within the passage, separating each pedicle cut by inserting an implant into the passage which distracts the pedicle cut to expand the spinal canal, and securing each pedicle cut, allowing the vertebra to heal with the spinal canal expanded. The implant includes an outer sleeve, an inner bolt, and expandable flanges. The outer sleeve includes an upper portion and a lower portion, with the expandable flanges connected to the lower portion and housed within the upper portion. Rotation of the inner bolt causes the upper and lower portions of the outer sleeve to separate, causing the pedicle cut to widen and the expandable flanges to radially extend into and stabilize the widened pedicle cut to effectuate expansion of the spinal canal.
