Title: Front structure of a motor vehicle
Inventor: BOTTCHER CURD-SIGMUND
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 2002-11-02
Granted: 2008-04-03
Abstract: According to the invention, the requirements for the protection of pedestrians in a collision and the requirements for easy repair of collided vehicles can be combined, whereby the front structure comprises two bumpers (4, 5), supported on each of both sides on a longitudinal support (2, 3), by means of a crash box (10, 10', 11, 11'). A foam layer (25) is provided on a transverse support (6) for the upper bumper (5), which takes the impact of a collision with a pedestrian, and the crash boxes (10, 10') for the lower bumper (4) run forwards over the foam layer (25) such that the forces of a light collision with another vehicle or a fixed obstacle are absorbed by deformation directly after the first contact. As the foam layer (25) is set back relative to the lower crash box (10, 10'), a protection for pedestrians can be achieved without leading to a significant increase in vehicle length.

Title: Synthesizing a mono audio signal based on an encoded multichannel audio signal
Inventor: OJALA PASI
IPC: G10L19/008
Filed: 2004-03-12
Granted: 2009-02-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of synthesizing a mono audio signal 3 based on an available encoded multichannel audio signal 2. The encoded multichannel audio signal 2 is assumed to comprise at least for a part of an audio frequency band separate parameter values for each channel of the multichannel audio signal. In order to reduce the processing load in synthesizing the mono audio signal 2, it is proposed that the parameter values of the multiple channels are combined at least for a part of an audio frequency band in the parameter domain. The combined parameter values are then used for synthesizing the mono audio signal. The invention relates equally to a corresponding audio decoder, to a corresponding coding system and to a corresponding software program product.
