Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining what level of performance must be maintained by a second communication service so as to be perceived as being of equal quality to a first communication service, especially where the second communication service is subject to additional impairments not experienced by the first communication service. In one example embodiment, the present invention is applied to determining what combinations of packet loss rate and packet delay are tolerable where a packet switched telephony service is desired to be perceived to be substantially equivalent to a traditional toll-quality non-packet-switched telephone service. Empirically derived models are used to relate user perception to objectively measurable characteristics, such as packet loss rate.

Title: Mixer

Abstract: A mixer capable of uniformly mixing a plurality of fluid materials without providing a mixing tank or an agitating vane. Different fluid raw materials (11a to 11c) are stored in raw material tanks (10a to 10c), respectively. The raw materials are fed at a predetermined rate by variable restrictors (14a to 14c) so as to be supplied to a fluid supply hole (16a) of a nozzle (16). At this moment, the materials are not mixed. When the materials are discharged from a fluid discharge outlet (16c), compressed air introduced from an air supply hole (16b) of the nozzle forms a high-speed vortex flow of the compressed air in front of the nozzle (16); and the discharged raw materials are crushed into fine particles and mixed by this vortex flow, thereby obtaining a uniformly mixed material (27). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a detector for determining the energy of photons and charged particles; to be precise, a so-called DeltaE detector or transmission detector. The invention also relates to a detector that can be produced by using said method. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for producing a detector of the aforementioned type that is stable over a long period of time and in which dead zones are distinctly minimized. The invention also aims to provide a detector of this type. To these ends, the inventive method is used to produce a Si(Li) substrate having a p<SUP>+</SUP> layer and an n layer. These can be layers produced according to the prior art. According to the inventive method, the n layer is partially removed, for example, by chemical etching, honing or by lapping. Lapping, in particular, has proven to be effective. This reduces the zone that is ineffective in a detector of the aforementioned type. The detector is produced from the substrate treated in this manner. The dead zones in the detector are significantly minimized compared to those in a detector produced using prior art methods.
