Abstract: A method of preparing a plasticised particulate polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composition is provided, comprising: mixing, in a mixer, at a mixer speed and for a time sufficient that the mixture attains a temperature of at least 50°C: particulate PVA resin in an amount from 80% to 90% by weight of the mixture; and plasticiser in an amount from 10% to 20% by weight of the mixture, wherein at least a portion of the plasticiser is water; monitoring the apparent viscosity of the mixture during mixing and continuing mixing until the apparent viscosity of the mixture has peaked to a maximum and dropped off to a substantially constant level, thereby to obtain a plasticised particulate mixture having a moisture content in the range from 7% to 14%; preferably adding an anti-caking agent in an amount from 0.05% to 0.5% by weight of the plasticised particulate mixture, and continuing mixing until the anti-caking agent is blended to the plasticised particulate mixture; and stopping mixing, and removing the mixture from the mixer, wherein the mixture temperature is kept below 100°C at all times during mixing. The properties of the plasticised particulate composition are such that it can be processed, by extrusion and blowing, to a film having advantageous characteristics in terms of structure and properties. Accordingly, also provided is a PVA film characterised in that, when viewed using polarising light microscopy, it has a nonuniform texture consisting of distinct short range areas, e.g. 10 to 500 micrometers, each short range area showing anisotropic orientation within its area, each short range area being oriented isotropically.

Title: Double-disk seal for top rollers of drafting assemblies
Inventor: BIRKENMAIER WILHELM
IPC: F16C33/78
Filed: 2003-10-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a double-disk seal for top rollers of drafting assemblies. According to the invention, a roll body (2) is rotatably mounted on each end of an axle (6). Said double-disk seal comprises sealing disks (25) which are designed and arranged in such a manner that, in order to seal, they form a narrow slip-free sealing gap against the roller body (2). These sealing disks (25) are axially supported by supporting elements, of which at least one is provided in the form of an angle ring (24). The supporting elements (24) are realized in such a manner that another sealing gap (19, 20) is situated in front of each outer sealing gap located between the sealing disk (25) and roller body (2). The complexity of production and assembly as well as the occurrence of failures are reduced due to the inventive double-disk seal.

Abstract: Receivers (1) for receiving encoded block signals and comprising processor systems (2) decode block signals by using Viterbi algorithms for finding a first candidate/path in a trellis (18) and by generating cost signals for finding further candidates/paths in said trellis (18). To reduce storage capacity, cost signals are combined for series of branches and cumulated cost is compared with thresholds. While searching for said further paths, a search for a further path is made in view of cumulated cost exceeding a threshold or not. The insight of indirectly constructing a list of candidates and the basic idea of more directly constructing said list brings more control. These receivers are less complex, and are further improved by introducing increasing thresholds per trellis and successive combining and different trellis directions for generating and cumulating cost signals and combining in a lexicographical order, and using a check sum for list reduction and by making error detections.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to enable optimal clustering for
many types of noise data and to improve the accuracy of estimation of a
speech model sequence of input speech. 
     Noise is added to speech in accordance with noise-to-signal ration
conditions to generated noise-added speech (step S1), the mean value of
speech cepstral is subtracted from the generated, noise-added speech (step
S2), a Gaussian distribution model of each piece of noise-added speech is
created (step S3), the likelihoods of the pieces of noise-added speech are
calculated to generate a likelihood matrix (step S4) to obtain a clustering
result. An optimum model is selected (step S7) and linear transformation is
performed to provide a maximized likelihood (step S8). 
     Because noise-added speech is consistently used both in clustering
and model learning, clustering for many types of noise data and an accurate
estimation of a speech model sequence can be achieved.

Abstract: Determining the nature of a chemical element or compound in a gaseous medium involves using a sensor (1) that registers the change in a reactor zone (9). The chemical composition of the substance in the reactor zone is modified by active application or variation of a regulator voltage (Uc) to a moist film (16). Determining the nature of a chemical element or compound in a gaseous medium involves using a sensor (1) that registers the change in a reactor zone (9). The chemical composition of the substance in the reactor zone is modified by active application or variation of a regulator voltage (Uc) to a moist film (16). The chemical composition is changed by an electro-chemical process. The characteristic dimension that identifies the chemical element or compound is detected by appropriate selection of the control voltage (Uc) at a constant base value. In operation, the film surface dimensions and electrode surface are modified by the arrival of moisture particles in the reaction zone. An independent claim is included for a sensor assembly for use in the above method that incorporates a reaction regulation system (SC, 12) with electrodes applying a chosen voltage to the reaction zone.
