Abstract: An economical and compact dual-chamber loudspeaker includes a small driver received within a partition extending between, and in acoustical and pneumatic communication with, both a front and a back chamber, each of which has a relatively small volume. An elongated vent is in acoustical and pneumatic communication between the front and back chamber at a substantially planar opening in the partition. The drone cone is in acoustical and pneumatic communication between the front chamber and the outside environment at a substantially planar opening in the housing. The two openings are spaced apart and generally parallel to each other. In a preferred embodiment, the volume of the chambers is minimized by securing an elongated concentric vent around the vent extending between the front and back chambers. In an alternative preferred embodiment, there are at least two elongated vents in acoustical and pneumatic communication with the front and back chambers, and each vent is spaced equal distance from the driver and from each other such that they distribute the pneumatic loads between the front and back chambers evenly, thereby preventing pneumatic forces emanating from the vents from applying asymmetric force to the drone cone.

Abstract: In a machine which is provided with a stator and an opposite rotor, a sensor of magnetic type, arranged in the stator, for determining the distance between the stator and the rotor can be calibrated by the sensor first being moved relative to the stator into contact with the rotor for zeroing. The sensor is then reversed a predetermined distance, after which the sensor signal can be used for determining the distance between the stator and the rotor. In an arrangement suitable for the purpose, the stator has at least one sensor of magnetic type, which is intended to interact with an opposite surface on the rotor. The sensor is mounted displaceably in the axial direction of the rotor and can be brought into contact with the rotor.

Abstract: An electromagnetic compression spring brake comprising a backplate (1) including a solenoid (3) and helical springs (5) distributed equispaced in the backplate (1), a friction plate (4) on a hub of a shaft to be braked. The brake has a plurality of damping members (7, 8) distributed equispaced about the circumference and featuring a specific spring rate between the opposite faces of the backplate (1) and armature plate (2) for reducing the pull-in noise of the armature plate when impacting the face of the backplate (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to an approximation of a DCT and a quantization which are to be applied subsequently to digital data for compression of this digital data. In order to improve the transform, it is proposed to simplify a predetermined transform matrix to require less operations when applied to digital data. In addition, elements of the simplified transform matrix constituting irrational numbers are approximated by rational numbers. These measures are compensated by extending a predetermined quantization to compensate for the approximation of elements of the simplified transform matrix by rational numbers. If the simplified transform matrix and the extended quantization are used as basis for implementation, a fast transform with a good resulting quality can be achieved. An approximation of an IDCT employed in decompression of compressed digital data can be simplified correspondingly.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for a generalized scheduler for scheduling transmissions in a communications system. The scheduler is defined by a priority function of the channel condition and fairness criteria. The generalized scheduler is adapted to apply a variety of combinations of channel condition metrics and user fairness metrics. The scheduler distinguishes among classes of users, allowing individual processing per class. In one embodiment, a system controller receives a Delivery Priority Parameter (DPP) for each of a plurality of users, and maps each DPP to a corresponding common Mapped Priority Parameter (MPP). An operating point is determined and a corresponding MPP value for each of the users is applied to schedule transmissions.

Abstract: A novel method and apparatus of detecting unique items as they are inserted into a product packaging system that is easily adaptable to current product packaging and prize insertion systems. A number of different types of sensors may be used in conjunction with the insertion device to detect the unique prize before it is inserted into a product packaging system. The sensor used will vary depending on the particular application. Sensors that may be used include a capacitive proximity sensor, a thickness sensor, a reflectivity sensor, a transmissivity sensor, a stiffness sensor, a color sensor, or even an odor or chemical sensor. Ideally, the type sensor used will detect a feature of the unique item that is easily distinguishable from other items being inserted. Once the sensor detects the prize and generates a signal, this signal can be used to perform a variety of useful functions. In one embodiment of the invention, the signal is used to control a foreign matter detector (FMD) during the insertion of unique prizes that would ordinarily trigger the FMD. After detecting the unique prize, the controller for the insertion device shuts down the FMD for a pre-determined period of time to allow the unique prize to pass through without triggering the FMD. The controller may also increase a counter each time one of the unique prizes is detected to keep track of the number of unique prizes inserted. Once the unique prize passes through, the FMD is turned back on so that foreign objects may again be detected. The amount of time that the FMD is turned off is minimized.
