Title: Signal processing in hearing aid
Inventor: FISCHER EGHART
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1999-10-11
Abstract: The method involves supplying a signal processing unit with signals from at least two microphones, or connected microphones with different directional characteristics. The microphone signals are analysed with regard to their respective amount of speech-specific information, whereby a selection of which microphone signals are further processed, results in dependence of which signals contain more speech-specific information.  The analysis, as well as the selection of the signals is preferably performed continuously, whereby a switching between microphones or combination of microphones with directional or omni-directional characteristics, and/or a blending of the microphone signals, is performed accordingly.

Patent EP-1065063-A1 (EP)
Inventor: OTSUKI KOICHI
IPC: B41J11/24
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: An inkjet printer uses interlaced printing to form raster
lines at intervals in the sub-scanning direction. The paper
is transported by feed rollers (25a,25b) on the upstream side relative
to the sub-scanning, and ejection rollers (27a,27b) on the downstream
side. After the trailing edge of the paper clears the feed
rollers, it is printed while being moved in the sub-scan direction
by just the ejection rollers. The feed used for the interlaced
printing is set at an amount that produces an area (T) between a
high-precision area (A) of raster lines formed using the feed rollers
to effect sub-scanning, and a low-precision area (L) in which the
raster lines are formed using just the ejection rollers to effect
sub-scanning. The area thus includes raster lines from both
of the other areas. Performing sub-scanning at that feed amount
makes the difference in quality between the high-precision area
and the low-precision area less noticeable, making it possible
to increase the size of the printable area.

Abstract: Material analysis apparatus and method, particularly
of use in detecting barely visible impact damage but also
of use to detect other material imperfections. The
apparatus includes a function generator which provides a
sinusoidal signal to an ultrasonic amplifier as well as to
a PC. The PC is connected to an infrared camera. The
sinusoidal signal is fed into the amplifier and causes two
probes attached to the sample of material to emit
ultrasonic energy at the modulated frequency. Ultrasonic
energy from the two probes then enters the sample by means
of mechanical coupling and an image of the resulting
thermal radiation is captured by the infrared camera and
transferred to the PC for further processing and analysis.

Abstract: Disclosed are computer-implemented systems and methods for the management and
operation of network-based partner, e.g., business, relationships. A representation of the
partner relationship is established that includes rules for allocation of compensation, the
subject matter to come under the partner relationship, and a resources to be presented to
users/customers when they encounter an aspect of the partner relationship, for instance by
browsing a web site of one of the partner entities. A system implementing the partner
relationship includes a transactional engine for monitoring the browsing activity of a user
while browsing partner relationship resources. A composite site manager generates the
partner relationship resources based on component resources drawn from the partner entities
and a presentation characterization forming part of the relationship representation. The
transactional engine generates event data from the client-server request/response data flow.
Message brokers transport the event data to software component that accumulates and
aggregates the event data to generate facts that are meaningful for the operation of the partner
relationship, e.g., compensation flows. An interposition mechanism allows for the
request/response data flow to be modified. Further, the interposition mechanism can be used
to implement common wallet or common shopping basket functionality in the context of the
partner relationship.

Abstract: The present invention relates to heating trowel which
processes by heat while observing the status of the working
material, such as soldering iron, plastic welder, iron, hair
iron and the like, and specifically it relates to heating trowel
that could be used within few seconds from providing power. 
     A heating trowel comprises a heating wire made of metal plate
such as iron chrome alloy and which is thinned to the limit that
it could maintain shape, an electrical insulator which is a thin
plate of aluminum nitride and the like having more than 10 times
the heat conductivity of said heating wire, and a trowel tip
/ heat storage made from copper and the like having more than
twice the heat conductivity of the aluminum nitride and the like
and also having high heat capacity, and formed by sufficiently
adhering these components closely by pressing and the like using
a heat insulating supporter. 
     Also, it is divided into two to a bare heating trowel and
a receiving heating device. 
     The control method comprises providing a fixed large amount
of electricity for a fixed short period of time to a heating
wire by operating a power switch once and rising the temperature
of a trowel tip / heat storage rapidly and obtaining a desired
temperature by pressing the switch for a simple countable number
of times. 
     The heating trowel mentioned above could have 10 times
larger heat value than the conventional one so that it could
heat the trowel tip / heat storage having large treat capacity
rapidly. Also, by rising the temperature of the trowel tip
stepwise by switch operation, it could be controlled without
a measurement device or a control mechanism. Also, when it
reaches desired temperature, the stored heat is large so that
it could be used without heating. Therefore, a bare heating
trowel free of cords could be used.
