Abstract: Accordingly, it can be seen that our Double Funnel Float Valve 10 functions both as a
valve and as a trap in liquid supply and liquid disposal systems. It functions without a
power source and without mechanical parts, making it inexpensive and durable. It is
designed to be easily installed to standard plumbing, virtually maintenance free, and the
only movable parts, the floating ball 14, weighted oval shuttle 16, and aspiratory shuttle
24, can be easily replaced. 
     Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be
construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of
some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. Various other
embodiments and ramifications are possible within it's scope. For example, the double
funnel float valve 10 might also be configured as a faucet or, on a larger scale, sewer
systems. 
     Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their
legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given.

Abstract: A diesel engine (10) has an NOx and/or COx exhaust gas (12) storage catalytic converter (18) which is regenerated by exposure to a supply of reduction agent. The reduction agent is supplied as an increased mass flow with the exhaust gas, either by a supplementary injection of fuel into the diesel engine (10) or into the exhaust system (12). An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for the above process. Preferred Features: The supplementary injection during the regeneration is alternately activated and de-activated. The variation in fuel supply is regulated to optimize the match between burning fuel and the available oxygen. The regeneration is sub-divided into active and inactive phases, suppressing the formation of strong odors and undesirable gases especially hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. The duration of the active and/or inactive phases is regulated preferably in accordance with the sulfur load, a current lambda value, the catalyst temperature, or a defined motor operating condition. With progressive increase in the required regeneration duration, the active and/or inactive phases are progressively shortened. The volume of supplementary fuel injected during the active phases is varied according to engine load, current lambda value, catalyst temperature, or a defined motor operating parameter, and is reduced with increasing regeneration duration period.

Abstract: In a non-volatile ferroelectric memory device the
permitted number of read/write operation cycles is
increased. The device comprises a step-down power supply
circuit (103) which generates a supply voltage-VINT which
is lower than a supply voltage VDD fed from the outside,
but not less than the coercive voltage of the
ferroelectric, for the purpose of improving the resistance
to fatigue of and imprinting to the ferroelectric. The
characteristics of the ferroelectrics deteriorate more due
to fatigue and imprinting as the voltage applied to the
ferroelectrics increases, and thus the supply voltage for
sense amplifiers and voltage supply circuits (101) are
selected to be VINT so that VINT is applied to the
ferroelectric capacitors, while the supply voltage for
other peripheral circuits (102) is selected to be VDD.
With this structure, the reliability of the device with
respect to its read/write operations can be significantly
improved as compared to the conventional ferroelectric
memory devices by minimizing the effect that the signal
voltage is reduced and by increasing the permitted number
of operation cycles.

Abstract: An input encoded video bitstream conforming to a first DCT-based image compression standard (e.g., MJPEG or DV) is converted into an output encoded video bitstream conforming to a second DCT-based image compression standard (e.g., MPEG) without having to fully decode the first bitstream according to the first image compression standard and without having to fully encode according to the second image compression standard in order to generate the output bitstream. Rather, a partial video decoder of a transcoding system applies steps of the first image compression standard to the input bitstream to generate dequantized DCT coefficient data. A DCT data converter of the transcoding system then processes the dequantized DCT coefficient data in the DCT domain as necessary to enable a partial video encoder of the transcoding system to apply steps of the second image compression standard to the converted DCT coefficient data in order to generate the output bitstream.

Abstract: Outer loop/weighted open loop power control controls transmission power levels in a spread spectrum time division duplex communication station. A first communication station (110) transmits a communication to a second communication station including target adjustment information generated at the first station on the basis of measured error rates of communications from the second station to the first station. The second station receives the communication and measures its received power level. Based on in part the received communication's power level and the communication's transmission power level, a path loss estimate is determined. A quality of the path loss estimate is also determined. The transmission power level for a communication from the second station to the first station is based on in part weighting the path loss estimate in response to the estimate's quality and based on the receive target adjusted by the target adjustment information transmitted from the first station.

Abstract: A method is provided for measuring real time ambient pressure at a region of interest in a fluid-filled body cavity by introducing into the cavity a composition of gas-containing micro-bubbles having a predetermined fragility threshold correlating to the rupture response of their capsules to the ambient fluid pressure, and/or applied acoustic pressure. An ultrasonic signal is applied at the region of interest at a power level sufficient to destroy the micro-bubble population having a fragility threshold below the applied power level. The ultrasound backscatter response (AD) is detected from the population of intact, the disintegrating micro-bubbles remaining at the region of interest, and this backscatter signal is correlated to predetermined acoustic response properties to determine the ambient pressure (mm Hg) at the region of interest.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a micromixer for producing a dispersion. During the production of dispersions using static micromixers, the distribution of the achieved particle sizes cannot be adjusted directly. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for producing a dispersion of two liquids A and B which allows the distribution of particle sizes to be adjusted. This is achieved firstly by splitting a liquid stream of liquid A into spatially separate liquid laminae and combining said laminae with a liquid stream of liquid B. Mechanical oscillations assist the fragmentation of the liquids into the particles which form the dispersion. A corresponding micromixer has a housing (60a, 60b), a mixing element (62) for splitting at least one liquid stream into liquid laminae, a mixing area and at least one mechanical oscillator (65).

On effectue la quantification vectorielle d'un gain (34) de parole prototype (PW) au moyen d'un quantificateur vectoriel (VQ) qui équipe explicitement les codes d'ondes de vecteurs permanents et transitoires représentatifs de gain PW pour suivre les variations abruptes dans les niveaux de parole lors des apparitions ou autres événements non stationnaires, tout en préservant la précision du niveau de parole dans des conditions stationnaires. Les vecteurs de la composante de formes d'onde à évolution rapide (REW) (42) et de la composante de formes d'onde à évolution lente (SEW) (40) sont convertis à la phase d'amplitude. Le vecteur d'amplitude de la dimension variable de la forme d'onde à évolution lente (SEW) est quantifié au moyen d'une approche hiérarchique, c'est à dire, un vecteur moyen de la dimension fixe de la forme d'onde à évolution lente calculé par une sous-bande de moyennage du spectre d'amplitude de la forme d'onde à évolution lente, et seulement l'amplitude de la forme d'onde à évolution rapide est codée de manière explicite. Le vecteur de la phase de la forme d'onde à évolution rapide est généré de nouveau au niveau du décodeur en fonction du vecteur de gain de la forme d'onde reçu et de la mesure vocale, qui détermine un mélange pondéré d'une forme d'onde à évolution lente et un bruit aléatoire qui est acheminé à travers un filtre passe-haut afin de générer une forme d'onde à évolution rapide. Les pôles du filtre passe-haut sont ajustés sur la base de la mesure vocale pour contrôler les caractéristiques de la forme d'onde à évolution rapide. Au niveau de la sortie de filtre, l'amplitude de la forme d'onde à évolution rapide est mise à facteur d'échelle afin de correspondre au vecteur d'amplitude de la forme d'onde à évolution rapide reçu.

for reducing an offset voltage and reducing variations in offset voltage. A
drive section for exciting a sensor coil (2) includes a self-excited oscillation

     The self-excited oscillation circuit includes an npn transistor (21) and a pnp
transistor (31) that are amplifier elements used for continuing oscillation. 
     The npn transistor (21) operates when an oscillation wave is on the positive
side. The pnp transistor (31) operates when an oscillation wave is on the
negative side. In the self-excited oscillation circuit, clamping of oscillation
waves similarly occurs on both positive and negative sides. Therefore, the
oscillation waveform has symmetrical positive and negative portions or has
minor asymmetry if any.
