Patent DE-69725904-D1 (DE)

Abstract: An improved above-the-knee prosthesis with an anatomically configured socket is characterized by one or more contours which correspond to a pre-selected anatomical contour of the upper or lower residual thigh. By exaggerating the depth of the contour in the socket as compared with the corresponding contour in the thigh, the socket grips the residual thigh and maintains the femur in proper alignment. The new channels and contours allow the patient using the socket to have improved rotational support and control over the prosthesis by providing structures which the muscles of the upper and lower residual thigh can "grip." The socket snugly contains the thigh and maintains it, throughout the gait cycle, in a proper anatomical position. This fit increases the comfort of the prosthesis and minimizes gait abnormalities common with other artificial limbs. The increased support helps maintain the physical condition of the residual limb. The extended and new channels allow the muscles of the patient's residual thigh to flex and contract against and around the channels, thereby reducing muscle atrophy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hydrogen gas-extraction module includes an intermediate layer bonded between a porous metal substrate and a membrane layer that is selectively permeable to hydrogen. The metal substrate includes a substantial concentration of a first metal at a surface of the metal substrate, and the intermediate layer includes an oxide of this first metal. In one embodiment, where the module is designed to selectively extract hydrogen at high temperatures, the porous metal substrate comprises stainless steel, and the membrane layer includes palladium or a palladium/silver alloy. A method for fabricating a hydrogen gas-extraction membrane includes reacting the porous metal substrate with an oxidizing agent to form a ceramic intermediate layer on a surface of the porous metal substrate and covering the ceramic coating with the membrane layer that is selectively permeable to hydrogen.

Abstract: In a process for producing stable emulsions of at least two substantially immiscible fluids, particularly emulsions of a liquid fuel with water, a considerable increase in the efficiency of the emulsion-formation process is achieved by injecting the fluids to be emulsified into an emulsification chamber provided with an injection system which imparts to the fluids a motion in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the general direction in which the fluids travel through the emulsification chamber. This injection system can be provided by means of a diffuser having an inlet hole, through which a stream of liquid is fed in a substantially axial direction, and at least one outlet hole, which leads into the chamber and whose axis lies on a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the inlet stream. In this manner, the stream strikes the walls of the emulsification chamber, producing a turbulent fluid motion which has a predominantly helical orientation and is capable of producing an efficient dispersion of one fluid in the other, forming dispersed-phase particles having an average diameter on the order of one micron or even less. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a generator and a method for generating an adapted speaker independent speech recognizer. The generator of an adapted speech recognizer is being based upon a base speech recognizer of an arbitrary base language. The generator also comprises an additional speech data corpus used for generation of said adapted speech recognizer. Said additional speech data corpus comprises a collection of domain specific speech data and/or dialect specific speech data. Said generator comprises reestimation means for reestimating language or domain specific acoustic model parameters of the base speech recognizer by a speaker adaption technique. Said additional speech data corpus is exploited by said reestimation means for generating the adapted speech recognizer. The invention proposes smoothing means for smoothing the reestimated acoustic model parameters. A beneficial range for the smoothing factor of a Bayesian smoothing is given. It is further suggested to iterate the adaption process.
