Title: Device for storing credit or account cards
IPC: A45C11/18
Filed: 1987-07-24
Granted: 1992-10-28
Abstract: A device designed to receive a plurality of credit cards and/or bank check cards comprises a case which contains a drawer for each card. Associated with each drawer is a spring and a detent and when the detent is released, the drawer is pushed out of the case as far as an extraction stop by the force of the spring. With the drawer pushed out, the card can easily be removed. After use, the card is replaced in the drawer and this is pushed back into the case. A button is provided on the outside of the case for each drawer in order to release the detent. In order to receive the card securely, each drawer has a rib on its surface which is formed, at one place, as a freely swinging web bent inwards which serves as a card clip and prevents the card from falling out of the case.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the spacing between a pair of surfaces (40′, 41′), at least one of which (40′) is of electrically conductive and/or ferromagnetic material, so that the wear of one of the surfaces (10′) can be determined. A measuring transducer (5) having a core (12) with coils (13-15), and a reference transducer (6) substantially identical to the measuring transducer, are the basic elements. The measuring transducer is mounted close to an opposing surface (10′) of conductive and/or ferromagnetic material with a gap (11) between them, and the reference transducer is mounted with a constant gap spacing (21) between it and a reference surface (20′) of the same material as the opposing surface. A current detector (32), and first and second sources of electrical current (30, 31), are operatively connected to coils of the transducers so that by sensing the difference in ampere-turns of the coils of respective transducers, or the difference between the magnetic fields produced by coils of the respective transducers, or both, an indication of the distance between the measuring transducer (5) and the opposing surface (10′) is provided. One or more measuring transducers (42, 43) are mounted within a body (41) having an outer surface (41′) so that it is spaced from that outer surface, and wear of that surface (41′) can be determined.

Abstract: Dans un système et un procédé d'attaque par faisceaux de particules, un faisceau ionique et un faisceau radical chimique non-ionique sont produits séparément et dirigés sur la même partie d'une tranche de semi-conducteurs à attaquer, de préférence dans un sens perpendiculaire à la tranche. Les diamètres des faisceaux ont une dimension sensiblement inférieure à la surface d'attaque et la tranche est déplacée à l'intérieur d'un plan x, y, de façon à exposer aux faisceaux toute la surface d'attaque. Le faisceau radical est de préférence supersonique avec un débit se situant approximativement entre 1019 et 1021 particules par stéradian et par seconde, alors que le faisceau ionique a de préférence une densité approximative de 1014 ions par cm.2 et par seconde. L'évolution de l'attaque et l'emplacement des points terminaux de l'attaque sont contrôlés en continu et sont utilisés pour commander la vitesse d'attaque et le mouvement de la tranche, permettant ainsi d'obtenir une attaque à la fois anisotrope et sélective avec une profondeur d'attaque précise et uniforme.

Title: An adaptive threshold voiced detector
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 1988-01-12
Granted: 1992-12-09
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting a fundamental frequency in speech by statistically analyzing a discriminant variable generated by a discriminant voiced detector (102) so as to determine the presence of the fundamental frequency in a changing speech environment. A statistical calculator (103) is responsive to the discriminant variable to first calculate the average of all of the values of the discriminant variable over the present and past speech frames and then to determine the overall probability that any frame will be unvoiced. In addition, the calculator informs two values, one value represents the statistical average of discriminant values that an unvoiced frame's discriminant variable would have and the other value represents the statistical average of the discriminant values for voice frames. These latter calculations are performed utilizing not only the average discriminant value but also a weight value and a threshold value which are adaptively determined by a threshold calculator (104) from frame to frame. An unvoiced/voiced determinator (105) makes the unvoiced/voiced decision by utilizing the weight and threshold values.

Title: Broadcast information classification system and method
IPC: H04H9/00
Filed: 1988-06-10
Granted: 1993-02-10
Abstract: Method and apparatus for classifying broadcast information first receives the broadcast information and processes it to provide a plurality of a low bandwidth analyzed waveforms. The analyzed waveforms are used to generate a spectragram which is then compared with a plurality of reference spectragrams stored in a first stage reference library. The first stage reference spectragrams are then queued in order of their similarity to the generated spectragram. Next, a plurality of second stage reference patterns, which correspond to the first stage reference spectragrams, are correlated with one of the analyzed waveforms in the queueing order established previously. A correlation value is provided for each second stage reference pattern stored in the second stage reference library. When it is determined that a correlation value exceeds the threshold value, a recognition is declared and the broadcast information is classified as similar to the second stage reference pattern whose correlation value exceeds the threshold. The analyzed waveform used in the second stage classification may be time warped to account for speed fluctuations in the broadcast information.

Title: Plastic electrode
IPC: E04B1/70
Filed: 1988-10-28
Granted: 1991-09-11
Abstract: Known plastic electrodes, in particular those used in the drying of walls, have the drawback that they are practically ineffective after a very brief transition period. To obtain a conductive plastic electrode which has the same voltage potential over its entire surface, even when large, and which gives trouble-free performance for long periods, the electric line (3) having a lower resistance than that of the conductive plastics material of the plastic electrode (7) is conductively connected to the material of the plastic electrode (7) through a resistance connection (5). The resistance of the resistance connection is greater than that of the electric line (3) and that of the plastics material. The plastic electrode is particularly useful in the drying of walls.

Granted: 1994-06-22
Abstract: In this respect, a frequency or time-division multiplexing of channels is already known. This, however, requires substantial expense and a large bandwidth. In the invention, the code elements disposed in series are arranged individually in parallel and are all combined to form a code word. To achieve transmission security, the information is converted into PDM pulses and these pulses are re-coded into the period lengths of half-periods or period lengths which are then transmitted in an uninterrupted sequence of positive and negative half-periods. <IMAGE>

Title: Ultrasonic device
IPC: B06B1/06
Filed: 1989-05-05
Granted: 1993-09-01
Abstract: For the purpose of inducing ultrasonic oscillations in a liquid in a container, ultrasonic oscillators are fixed on the outside of the wall serving as a membrane. Due to localised cavitation erosion this wall becomes untight, which leads to the destruction of the entire device. In order to prevent this it is proposed to attach a mounting ring on the ultrasonic oscillator near to the oscillation node, which mounting ring permits the ultrasonic oscillator to be inserted into the container so that it acts directly on the liquid with its sound-emitting cone, it being possible for the end faces of the sound-emitting cones to dip into the liquid at a distance of lambda/4 for the purpose of completely irradiating the liquid acoustically. <IMAGE>
