Abstract: A double-acting hydraulic striking tool, wherein a hammer's (8) upper end (9) is rigidly connected to an upper piston (10), and wherein the hammer's (8) lower end (26) is rigidly connected to a lower piston (26). The pistons (10, 27), which can be displaced within a tubular housing (11), are adapted to open and close for a forced flow of liquid from the upper end (9) of the hammer (8) towards the lower end (26).  The hammer (8) is activated for downwardly directed blows by pressing against the hammer's (8) upper end (9) with a resilient force, causing the lower piston (27) to close the liquid flow,  whereby the housing (11) is lifted hydraulically until the piston (27) opens for the liquid flow, and the forced spring force drives the housing (11) downwardly to impinge on the hammer's (8) lower end (26) through impact faces (34, 36).  The hammer (8) is activated for upwardly  directed strokes  by lifting the upper end (9) of the hammer (8) as well as the housing (11) with a resilient force. so that the upper piston (10) closes for liquid, whereby the piston (10)  drives  the hammer's (8) upper end (9) downwardly until the piston (10) opens for liquid, whereafter the upwardly acting resilient force drives the hammer's (8) upper end (9) upwards to impinge on the housing (11) through impact faces (33, 35).

Abstract: A method of operating a telecommunications network to provide network-based messaging services includes utilizing a communication link between the network and a telephone adjunct interface. The adjunct interface detects and alerts the subscriber to the existence of waiting messages. In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the invention, a combination of AC ring detection and outcall polling of the network is employed to determine whether any messages have been received by the network service platform. Specifically, if the subscriber phone is not answered after a predetermined number of rings, the interface polls the network after a suitable delay to determine if any messages were left. If so, the network transmits a code or other signal that is recognized by the interface device, and a visual and/or audible indication is then provided to the subscriber. If the subscriber line is busy or on call-forward while a calling party is seeking to leave a message, the network service platform stores the message and waits a selected interval before seeking to alert the subscriber.

Abstract: A system determines a sticky bit in a floating point arithmetic system without performing a logical sum of bits shifted out after alignment. The system compares exponents of input operands representing floating-point numbers, and subtracts smaller exponent from larger exponent to determine a shift amount by which the smaller mantissa is to be shifted for alignment. The system generates a shift signal indicative of the determined shift amount. The system counts the number of leading zero in mantissa of the smaller exponent toward the most significant bit of the mantissa, and generates a leading zero count signal indicative of the counted number of leading zero. The system compares the shift signal with the leading zero count signal and generates a sticky bit signal in response to the result of comparing the shift signal with the leading zero count signal, which sticky bit signal anticipates creation of a sticky bit after shifting the mantissa for alignment.

Title: Reduced complexity signal transmission system
Inventor: WUPPERMANN FRIEDHELM
IPC: G10L19/12
Filed: 1997-01-31
Granted: 2006-03-07
Abstract: In a CELP coder a comparison between a target signal and a plurality of synthetic signals is made.      The synthetic signal is derived by filtering a plurality of excitation sequences by a synthesis filter having parameters derived from the target signal. The excitation signal which results in a minimum error between the target signal and the synthetic signal is selected. The search for the best excitation signal requires a substantial computational complexity. To reduce the complexity a preselection of a small number of excitation sequences is made using a reduced complexity synthesis filter. With this small number of excitation sequences a full complexity search is made. Due to the reduced number of excitation sequences involved in the final selection the required computational complexity is reduced.

Abstract: A detection method of continuous casting between rolls of steel products comprises measuring continuously the roll separation strain (RSF) and a signal representative of the variations in this strain (RSF) generated as a function of time. The signal is used to act upon the roll separation to compensate for any untrue roundness of the rolls. During these measurements the signal is separated into different harmonic components and the resulting comparison of the harmonic components thus obtained with some reference harmonics is representative of the state of defects in the rolls. This state of defects in the rolls allows the definition of different rules for conducting the casting process as a function of the gravity of the roll defects measured.

Title: Method of laundering items and purifying waste water therefrom
Inventor: TIBBITTS DAVE
IPC: B01D17/05
Filed: 1996-06-11
Granted: 2005-08-09
Abstract: A method of laundering oily items comprises laundering said items in a wash solution which includes a surfactant system and a source of alkalinity. The source of alkalinity is an alkali metal aluminate preferably sodium aluminate at a concentration effective to have at least about 25 ppm of the alkali aluminate present in the wash solution measured as alumina. The wash solution is then separated from the laundered items and its pH reduced to about 9 or less. A destabilizing polym er such as diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride can be added. This combination causes the oil and grease to separate from the wash solutio n and float to the surface along with the sodium aluminate. If the concentration of the sodium aluminate is above about 100 ppm preferab ly about 250 ppm, there is no need to add the destabilizing polymer. This does not affect the overall efficiency of the detergent, yet significantly improves the ability to separate the oil and grease from the waste wash solution.
