Abstract: The audio signal processing apparatus for e.g. a car radio includes an audio signal processor (EQ) for processing an input audio signal with a sound spectrum so as to output an audio signal output having the sound spectrum. A sound selector selects the spectrum from two or more spectra. Additional information is associated with the input signal and this is provided in the processor with, or parallel to the input audio signal. The selector is formed to automatically select the spectrum in dependence on the additional information associated with the input signal. Independent claims also cover a method for processing audio signals.

Abstract: A piezoelectric system has a piezoelectric motor ( 20 ) driving a driven element ( 22 ) so as to move the driven element ( 822 ) in response to an electric signal ( 25 ). The motor ( 20 ) has at least a first optimal operating frequency at which the motor ( 20 ) moves the driven element ( 22 ) an amount that meets predetermined criteria. The motor ( 20 ) and driven element ( 22 ) have a desired performance criteria when operated at that first operating frequency. A plurality of concatenated sinusoidal sweeping frequencies are repeatedly supplied to the piezoelectric motor ( 20 ) with at least one of the sweeping frequencies being sufficiently close to the first operating frequency to cause detectable motion of the driven element ( 22 ). The frequencies are varied in response to movement of at least one of the motor ( 20 ) and the driven element ( 22 ) to produce an average performance of the motor ( 20 ) and driven element ( 22 ) for a time corresponding to the time for one sweep of frequencies. The average performance is greater than an actual performance of the driven element ( 22 ) for the same period of time but when the actual performance is less than the desired performance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for policy-enabled, contract-based management of network operational support systems. A policy kernel utilizes multiple policy access points for interfacing to dedicated policy management systems. The policy kernel uses policy views, containing a set of required policies, to request the policy view from the policy management system. The policy view initiates a contract for regulating the selection and import of executable policies to the policy kernel. The contract applies running components to the executable policies to enable them to run on the policy kernel and resolves any potential conflicts by applying a set of policy dependency rules to any executable policies that are in variance with one another. The executable policies are imported into the policy kernel through the policy access point. The policy kernel may then implement the requested policy view by executing the executable policies thus imported.

Abstract: In a volumetric data storage apparatus comprising a plurality of stacked matrix-addressable memory devices electrode means are provided so as to form alternating word and bit line means for the memory devices, whereby the number of the electrode means is only one more than the number of memory devices. Moreover adjoining electrode means are arranged in such a manner as to furnish a high proportion of memory cells which can be switched in two or more directions, thus yielding a much higher output when addressed and having an improved signal-to-noise ratio. Each memory device can, due to having a dense electrode arrangement, be provided with an attainable memory cell fill factor approaching unity and half the memory cells can in case be provided switchable in two or more directions, such that the fill factor of these in any case shall approach 0.5. A volumetric data storage apparatus with a very high storage density can hence be obtained, while several of the problems encountered with stacked memory devices are obviated.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for the power control system outer loop of a mobile communications systems in a cellular infrastructure that allows fulfilling a given Quality of Service (QoS) with the minimum power level necessary. This outer loop is in charge of setting the desired signal to interference target ratio SIRtgt that fulfils the required quality of service in a radioelectric environment characterised by stochastic models. The proposed method is based on the application of the Newton-Raphson iteration method on numerical approximations of the various outage probability (QoS) probability density functions in various propagation environments, so that having established this probability and dynamically estimated the second order moments characteristic of each statistic considered, the margin over the SIR median is obtained and thereby the SIRtgt corresponding to the aforementioned outage probability. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a process to reduce the quantity of foam, bulking or floating sludge in effluent water, sewage sludge or methane biogas generators, the fluid passes through a passage (2, 4) in which it is subjected to vigorous shear forces. The forces reduce the ratio of filament micro-organisms to flocculant-forming micro-organisms.  The shear forces are generated by turbulent flow arising in a constriction (3) which accelerates the flow speed, generating cavitation within the water. The constriction is a venturi tube which is adjustable for length and cross sectional area at its narrowest point. The Reynolds number of the fluid under treatment e.g. activated sludge is pref. at least 500,000. Also claimed is a commensurate assembly in which water is pumped through the passage (2, 3, 4).
