Abstract: A three-port valve capable of switching flow paths from
one to another without undesired communication between the
switched flow paths. A first valve seat (55) and a second
valve seat (56) are disposed opposite to each other in a
central valve chamber (42). A first passage (49) extending
through the first valve seat (55) is communicated with a
first port (45). A second passage (51) extending through
the second valve seat (56) is communicated with a second
port (47). The central valve chamber (42) is communicated
with a third port (46). A valve body having a first seal
surface (76) and a second seal surface (77) is disposed
between the first valve seat (55) and the second valve seat
(56). The distance between the first and second seal
surfaces (76 and 77) of the valve body is variable. At
least one of the seal surfaces (76 and 77) of the valve body
is always placed in close contact with the first valve seat
(55) or the second valve seat (56). At a stage in a
switching operation of the valve, both the two seal surfaces
(76 and 77) of the valve body are placed in close contact
with the first and second valve seats (55 and 56),
respectively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing the effect of background music
or noise from speech input to a speech recognizer so as to improve
recognition accuracy has been devised. Samples of pure music or noise
related to the background music or noise that corrupts the speech input
are utilized to reduce the effect of the background in speech
recognition. The pure music and noise samples can be obtained in a
variety of ways. The music or noise corrupted speech input is segmented
in overlapping segments and is then processed in two phases: first, the
best matching pure music or noise segment is aligned with each speech
segment; then a linear filter is built for each segment to remove the
effect of background music or noise from the speech input and the
overlapping segments are averaged to improve the signal to noise ratio.
The resulting acoustic output can then be fed to a speech recognizer.

Abstract: A fume hood controller (20) includes detection apparatus for detecting the
presence of objects within the fume hood (60) and reduces the flow through the fume hood (60)
if there are no objects within the hood, thereby conserving energy costs associated
with conditioning supply air to the room where the fume hood is located. The
controller (20) also adjusts flow as a function of the presence and also the location of
objects that are detected within the fume hood (60). Since there is a smaller likelihood of
fume spillage when the objects are located more deeply within the fume hood, the
flow can be reduced in such a situation compared to that which would be required if
the objects are located closer to the sash.

Abstract: An exothermic process for forming a product which may be in a liquid
phase is disclosed wherein a first reactant (3), preferably a liquid reactant, is
directly fed into a reaction zone (10) containing mixing elements (12, 58) and
which comprises a first compartment (10) of a reactor (2, 40). A second
reactant, which is maintained at a higher pressure, is fed into a second
compartment (20) of the reactor (2, 40) separated from the first compartment
(10) by a porous wall (32, 52). The second reactant (4) passes through this
porous wall (32, 52) into the reaction zone to react with the first reactant (3).
The process thereby controls rates of the reactions and the exothermic heats
generated by the reactions. Pulsatile flow in one or both reaction compartments
improves mixing. An evaporator for a portion of the production improves
product quality and permits higher reaction temperatures in the reactor.

Abstract: In der digitalen Signalverarbeitung ist es notwendig, mit Systemtakten zu arbeiten. Dabei
tritt oft die Forderung nach unterschiedlichen Systemtakten auf, die eine entsprechende
Genauigkeit besitzen. In einer Ringoszillatorschaltung mit einer geraden Anzahl von
Ringinvertern (1-4), der durch die selbe Anzahl von Querinvertern (5-8) zum Schwingen angeregt
wird, wird durch ein Umschalten von zusätzlichen Invertern (9-12) eine schrittweise Veränderung
der Frequenz erreicht. Durch das Umschalten von zwei Betriebsarten lassen sich mehrere
Vielfache einer Grundfrequenz einstellen. Durch das bloße Umschalten der zusätzlichen
Inverter bleibt die Stromaufnahme bei jeder eingestellten Frequenz konstant. Dies hat den
Vorteil, daß die so erzeugte Frequenz sehr stabil ist und somit den
Genauigkeitsforderungen der digitalen Signalverarbeitung entspricht. Zusätzlich wird
dieses System über eine Stromeinspeisung betrieben, so daß eine weitere Verbesserung der
Genauigkeit und der Störsicherheit der erzeugten Frequenzen erreicht wird. Die
Verwendung von Invertern die mit MOSFETs arbeiten, bietet sich deshalb an, da diese
Ringoszillatoren integrierbar sind und sich somit in der digitalen Signalverarbeitung in
komplexe Schaltungen einbinden lassen. Die Anzahl der Phasen des Ringoszillators
entscheidet dabei über die Abstufung der einzelnen Frequenzen. Je höher die Anzahl der
Phasen, desto mehr Abstufungen lassen sich vornehmen, wobei die Anzahl der Phasen ein
Vielfaches von vier sein muß.
