Patent EP-0515407-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HISCOX BRYAN ARTHUR
IPC: C01F7/144
Filed: 1991-02-11
Abstract: Le procédé comporte : la division d'un flux de liqueur d'alimentation additionnée en une partie mineure d'environ 10 jusqu'à environ 25 % du flux de liqueur d'alimentation additionnée; la conduite du flux vers une série de petites cuves permettant l'agglomération du flux mineur. On ajoute à ce flux un germe d'hydroxyde d'aluminium fin possédant une dimension de particule moyenne se situant environ entre 30 et 60 microns. On dirige ensuite la boue résultante de l'étape d'agglomération vers une série de bacs plus grands dans lesquels aura lieu l'étape de culture. A ce stade, on mélange la partie restante de la liqueur additionnée avec la boue résultante de l'étape restante de la liqueur additionnée avec la boue résultante de l'étape d'agglomération. Une charge de germes bruts d'environ 150 jusqu'à environ 600 grammes/litre de germes possédant une dimension de particule moyenne se situant environ entre 80 et 100 microns est chargée dans la deuxième série de bacs. A partir de la boue résultant de l'étape de culture, on sépare les germes fins et bruts d'hydroxyde d'aluminium. Parallèlement à cette première chaîne de précipitation, on produit une ou plusieurs chaînes similaires. Par l'introduction commune de flux de germes dans les chaînes, les particules sont exposées plusieurs fois à la liqueur fraîche. Le dépôt de couches successives d'hydrate sur l'agglomérat permet d'augmenter le rendement d'un produit de trihydroxyde d'aluminium fort et brut.

IPC: B29C45/78
Filed: 1991-05-28
Abstract: A method of determining accurately acceptability of products of an injection molding machine under whatever environmental conditions said machine is operated, which is executed by a processor (22) of a numerical control device (20). The processor, upon deciding that auxiliary acceptability determination based on at least one of operation parameters directly indicating environmental conditions relating to the acceptability of products including the surface temperature of the metallic mold, outdoor temperature, and wind velocity is required in addition to regular acceptability determination of products based on molding process parameters, reads output data from A/D converters (11, 12 and/or 13) corresponding to the actual value of at least one operation parameter detected by relative mold temperature sensor (8), outdoor temperature sensor (9), or wind velocity sensor (10). The processor generates rejection signals when it finds any one of the actual values of operation parameter deviating from an allowable range and recognizes a possible molding rejection. When all of at least one type of operation parameters fall within an allowable range, regular acceptability determination of products is further performed.

Title: Process for transmitting digitised, block-coded audio signals using scale factors.
Inventor: WIESE DETLEF
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 1991-06-27
Abstract: A method of transmitting digitized block coded audio signals includes forming scale factors of the digitized audio signals. The n(k-1) differences are formed from k successively in-time scale factors for each frequency sub-band or for a group of spectral values of the audio signal. The n(k-1) differences are grouped into at least two value classes. New scale factors are selected for each of the n sub-bands or spectral value groups based on a sequence of n(k-1) value classes. Identifying information, including the control information indicating at which locations in the sequence of n(k-1) value classes the selected new scale factors are disposed, is associated with each sequence of n(k-1) value classes. The associated selected new scale factors are assigned to each sequence of the sampled signal values and to the identifying information associated with each sequence of sampled signal values. A transmission pattern of new scale factors is determined separately for each of the n sub-bands or spectral value groups. Lastly, audio signals are regenerated from the sampled signal values and from the assigned selected new scale factors.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle transmission which is usually shifted by hand is to be actuated automatically. For this purpose, shifting elements which act on a shifting shaft with a swivelling movement and a push-pull movement are to be provided. The transmission is of self-retaining design, i.e. a gear which has been engaged disengages only after a particular transmitting torque has been undershot. The return movement is to be as rapid and precise as possible. The piston-cylinder arrangement effecting the gear selection has two pistons movable independently of one another and acting in opposite directions. After the engagement of a gear, the piston actuated for this purpose is moved back into its starting position and thus only the other piston has to be moved to disengage the gear. Selector for an automatic multi-speed gear change box. <IMAGE>
