Date Aug. 21, 1997A machining tool and method of making same includes a blank that is formed to a shank and which is provided with machining faces. The machining faces are configured to expose material of a PCD or PCBN element that is formed in a recess in the blank and fused to the blank using material from the transition group of elements, such as cobalt. The recess has a configuration that is defined by side walls, a base wall, and end walls, so as to define a mold in which the PCD or PCBN material is formed into an element that becomes fused with the blank. Such fusing is achieved by leaching of the cobalt into the PCD or PCBN element during the application of heat. Thus, no additional fabrication process is required for joining the PCBN or PCD material to the blank.

Abstract: By simultaneously recording EM wave reflections and acoustic speech information, the positions and velocities of the speech organs as speech is articulated can be defined for each acoustic speech unit. Well defined time frames and feature vectors describing the speech, to the degree required, can be formed. Such feature vectors can uniquely characterize the speech unit being articulated each time frame. The onset of speech, rejection of external noise, vocalized pitch periods, articulator conditions, accurate timing, the identification of the speaker, acoustic speech unit recognition, and organ mechanical parameters can be determined.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un article absorbant du type couche-culotte comportant une feuille de support, une doublure sensiblement perméable aux liquides et un corps absorbant disposé entre la feuille de support et la doublure. Les couches constituées par la feuille de support et la doublure définissent généralement une section de ceinture frontale, une section de ceinture postérieure et une section intermédiaire interposée entre les sections de ceinture frontale et postérieure. La doublure comporte une pluralité de crêtes longitudinales, espacées, en saillie, disposées au moins dans la section intermédiaire de façon à constituer des barrières s'opposant à la migration transversale des exsudats corporels. On forme lesdites crêtes en saillie en faisant adhérer à la structure absorbante une pluralité de parties de la doublure, qui sont latéralement espacées les unes des autres et qui alternent longitudinalement avec des parties n'adhérant pas à ladite structure. Des éléments élastiques, qui sont disposés sous les parties non adhérentes, comportent une extrémité frontale, une extrémité postérieure et une partie centrale interposée entre les extrémités frontale et postérieure. Lesdites extrémités frontale et postérieure sont dans un état de relâchement lorsque la partie centrale est soumise à une contraction élastique assurant le fronçage de la doublure et, de ce fait, l'éloignement de cette dernière par rapport à la structure absorbante lorsque ledit article absorbant est porté par un utilisateur.

Abstract: Precise estimation of speed during the wheel slip phase is made by calculating mechanical equations of rotating parts to derive parameters of each wheel force applied to tracks, using model of vehicle from knowledge of its mass. Measurement is made of the wheel speed and the value of motor coupling or braking applied, when all the wheels slip on the running track. A calculation is made e.g. for module (A), from mechanical equations of the rotating parts and knowledge of the mechanical parameters of each wheel or group of linked wheels, in first period of time, of the force transmitted to the running track, from which by summation of the wheel assembly or groups of independent wheels, calculation is made of the total force transmitted to the running track module (B). An estimated value of the vehicles speed at any instant can then be calculated module (C), from the total force applied to the track by the mechanical model of the vehicle from a knowledge of its mass. The mass can be variable according to the vehicles load, it is then more precise to measure the suspension height of the pressure in the secondary suspension. The mass can be estimated by the module (D) from measure of the acceleration of the vehicle on flat track when wheel slip does not occur. Module (E) is used to calculate rolling resistance and module (F) is used to take into account any track slope.

The transporter (63-66) ferries the reagent cells (11) from the input position to the carrier plate or from the carrier plate to the output position and after use to further positions within the analyzer. The automatic pipetting arrangement carries out the pipetting in the analyzer, in which other specific reagent volumes from the reagent container are removed and specific reagent container (68) transported. Each container has a sample, where each reagent container (31-33) is enclosed with a cap (34-36). The pipette needle (101) of the pipette arrangement sharp.
