Abstract: A digital voice data storage and retrieval system using a low bit rate encoder which provides enhanced speech signal quality while also reducing memory size requirements. The system comprises a voice coder/decoder which preferably includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and also preferably includes a local memory. During encoding of the voice data, the voice coder/decoder receives voice input waveforms and generates a parametric representation of the voice data. A storage memory is coupled to the voice coder/decoder for storing the parametric data. During decoding of the voice data, the voice coder/decoder receives the parametric data from the storage memory and reproduces the voice waveforms. According to the invention, an interframe smoothing method is performed on the parametric data after encoding of all of the speech data has completed and the parametric data has been stored in the storage memory. The interframe smoothing is performed either in the background after the coding process has completed or in real time during the decoding process immediately prior to converting the parametric data back to signal waveforms. Since all of the voice input data has already been converted to parametric data and stored in memory, parametric data from a virtually unlimited number of prior and successive frames is available for use by the smoothing algorithm. Therefore, the present invention provides more accurate smoothing and provides enhanced speech signal quality over prior systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Unimolecular and bimolecular hybridization probes for the detection of nucleic acid target sequences comprise a target complement sequence, an affinity pair holding the probe in a closed conformation in the absence of target sequence, and either a label pair that interacts when the probe is in the closed conformation or, for certain unimolecular probes, a non-interactive label. Hybridization of the target and target complement sequences shifts the probe to an open conformation. The shift is detectable due to reduced interaction of the label pair or by detecting a signal from a non-interactive label. Certain unimolecular probes can discriminate between target and non-target sequences differing by as little as one nucleotide. Also, universal stems and kits useful for constructing said probes. Also, assays utilizing said probes and kits for performing such assays. Also, such probes capable of allelic discrimination.

Abstract: A nozzle or tube which is useful for pouring molten metal, especially aluminum killed molten steel. The nozzle is formed from a blend of doloma and graphite which is bonded together in a carbonized matrix. Nozzles or tubes made in accordance with this invention have enhanced thermal shock resistance. Furthermore, the nozzles or tubes of this invention resist the formation of aluminum oxide therein when they are used for pouring molten aluminum killed steel. Consequently, these tubes or nozzles can be used in a continuous casting process for a long period of time without having to periodically stop the procedure and change the tubes as they become blocked with aluminum oxide. As a result of the thermal shock resistance, the usual preheating step prior to contacting the nozzle with the molten metal is greatly reduced.

The foot is in an embodiment provided with a stepped opening, a first part of which is limited by a wall which forms a supporting surface with which the frame rests on a construction member of the construction assembly when being assembled. The stepped opening comprises further a second part that lies deeper in which the construction member is situated when assembled. When coupling the frame to the construction assembly the frame is placed at an angle to the construction member. The frame is then tilted up into a vertical position in which the frame rests with its supporting surface on the construction member and pivots on the construction member. In an embodiment the foot is then moved horizontally where the supporting surface is freed from the construction member as a result of which the frame moves downwards with respect to the construction member and coupling is effected.
