Title: Fonctionnement de diodes electroluminescentes a basse temperature
Inventor: JOHNSTON SCOTT D
IPC: G05F1/00
Filed: 2014-04-30
Abstract: Des diodes électroluminescentes (DEL) génèrent de la lumière plus efficacement que des lampes à décharge de forte intensité ou des lampes fluorescentes de forte intensité. Attaquer une série de DEL avec une alimentation primaire à tension constante et un circuit d'attaque de DEL à basse tension maintient l'efficacité à un haut niveau. Malheureusement, la tension directe d'une DEL varie en fonction de la température : à basse température, la tension directe augmente. Monter les DEL en série amplifie l'augmentation de tension directe. Cela rend difficile d'attaquer une série de DEL à basse température avec une alimentation à tension constante étant donné que la tension directe peut dépasser la tension d'alimentation électrique. Pour tenir compte de ce comportement, l'invention porte sur un appareil d'éclairage à DEL qui, à titre d'exemple, comprend un circuit de « contournement » qui, quand il est activé, retire effectivement au moins une DEL de chaque chaîne de DEL en série afin d'amener la tension directe totale au-dessous de la tension d'alimentation électrique. Le circuit d'attaque à basse tension surveille la température, et active le circuit de « contournement » quand cela est nécessaire pour assurer que la tension continue n'est pas dépassée.

Title: Frequency envelope vector quantization method and apparatus
Inventor: HU CHEN
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2014-07-03
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention proposes a frequency envelope vector quantization method and apparatus, where the method includes: dividing N  frequency envelopes in one frame into N1 vectors, where each vector in the N1 vectors includes M  frequency envelopes; quantizing a first vector in the N1 vectors by using a first codebook, to obtain a code word corresponding to the quantized first vector, where the first codebook is divided into 2B1 portions; determining, according to the code word corresponding to the quantized first vector, that the quantized first vector is associated with the i th portion in the 2B1 portions of the first codebook; determining a second codebook according to the codebook of the i th portion; and quantizing a second vector in the N1 vectors based on the second codebook. In the embodiments of the present invention, frequency envelopes are divided into a plurality of vectors with fewer dimensions, so that vector quantization can be performed on frequency envelope vectors by using a codebook with a smaller quantity of bits. Therefore, complexity of vector quantization can be reduced, and an effect of vector quantization can also be ensured.

Patent CA-2936472-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WARD ROBERT
IPC: A61C7/12
Filed: 2016-07-19
Abstract: An orthodontic direct bonding stent facilitates ideal positioning of physical attachments on a patient's teeth. Novel designs of direct bonding stents include uniquely configured windows for guiding placement of the attachments. Windows of reduced depth leave a majority of each attachment exposed beyond the stent for easy grip and manipulation, and use of a reduced height wall opposite the window-equipped wall eases removal of the stent without disruption of the adhered attachments. Use of elastomeric material at the window boundaries provides an improved seal with the tool for less adhesive splay, and inter-arch stents enable maxillary and mandibular placement with a single appliance. Lingual windows enable lingual placement of attachments for reduced visibility, and reduced wall thickness between adjacent windows provides improved mesial access to attachments. Enlarged bypass openings accommodate previously placed attachments, and bridged voids provide improved access and visibility for adhesive cleanup and accurate placement.
