Title: Relative noise ratio weighting techniques for adaptive noise cancellation
Inventor: DUNNE BRUCE E
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: In order to enhance the quality of a communication signal comprising speech signal components due to speech and noise signal components due to noise, a filter (50) divides the communication signal into a plurality of frequency band signals representing the speech signal components and the noise signal components in a plurality of frequency bands. A calculator generates a plurality of weighting signals having weighting values corresponding to the frequency band signals. The weighting values (90, 100, 110) represent at least approximations of the normalized powers of the noise signal components in the frequency band signals. The frequency band signals are altered in response to the weighting signals to generate weighted frequency band signals which are combined to generate a communication signal with enhanced quality (170).

Patent CA-2419574-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHMIDT HARALD
IPC: C08L101/00
Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: Biodegradable polymer blends suitable for laminate coatings, wraps and other packaging materials manufactured from at least one "stiff" biopolymer and at least one "soft" biopolymer. "Stiff" biopolymers tend to be more brittle and rigid and typically have a glass transition temperature greater than about 10° C. "Soft"  biopolymers tend to be more flexible and pliable and typically have a glass transition temperature less than about 0° C. While stiff and soft polymers each possess certain intrinsic benefits, certain blends of stiff and soft polymers have been discovered which possess synergistic properties superior to those of either stiff or soft polymers by themselves.  Biodegradable polymers include polyesters, polyesteramides and thermoplastically processable starch.  The polymer blends may optionally include an inorganic filler. Films and sheets made from the polymer blends may be textured so as to increase the bulk hand feel.  Wraps will typically be manufactured so as to have good "dead-fold" properties so as to remain in a wrapped position and not spring back to an "unwrapped" and planar form.  Laminate films will typically have good water vapor barrier properties as measured by their Water Vapor Permeability Coefficient (WVPC).

Title: Method and device for transmitting force magnetically
Inventor: SCHROTTER JOHNNES
IPC: H02K49/10
Filed: 2001-11-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting force, in particular an impetus, by magnetic interaction. Thereby, a plurality of supports are fitted with one or more magnets and rotatably supported by bearing means. Each support is connected to one or more freewheel means, i.e. freewheeling bearings, so that each support can be put into rotation or motion, about an axis of rotation or along a straight or curved path in only one direction. Also, each supports is fitted with one or more individual magnets in a predetermined arrangement. A plurality of such supports are arranged at a distance relative to one another in such a way that an impetus transmitted to a first support is transmitted by this first support to an adjacent second support by magnetic interaction, is transmitted by said second support to the third support adjacent said second support, and so on. It is of importance that the freewheel means make it impossible for a support which has been set in motion to go into reverse and this causes virtually the whole of the impetus to be transmitted to whichever is the next support at the time. Hence a starting impetus to be transmitted to whichever is the next support at the time. Hence a starting impetus, having once been transmitted to the magnetic impetus-transmitting device from an external source of impetus, can be transmitted for long distances with virtually no losses in a similar way to a wave. If the distance is a closed loop, e.g. a circle, the impetus can be maintained for quite long periods.
