Abstract: Cable and pipe cutters with a scissors shaped design has handgrips linked by a main pivot and each fitted with one cutting edge. One handgrip has a second hinge, and a two setting ratchet grip, to set the cutting range. This enables the cutters to cut fine wires and pipes as well as larger diameter cables and pipes, without undue stretching of the hand. The ratchet grip is controlled by a spring loaded catch which secures the cutters in either setting.

Abstract: A pulley unit, in particular for an internal combustion engine, comprises a hub (3) for a driving shaft, a ring-shaped element (5) externally coaxial to the hub (3) and having a seat for the engagement by a belt, and a connection device (14, 15) interposed between the hub (3) and the ring-shaped element (5). The connection device (14, 15) is adapted to undergo elastic deformations in consequence of the tendency of the hub (3) to assume a speed different from that one of the ring-shaped element (5), in order to carry out the function of a flexible coupling at least for small variations of said speed difference. The connection device (14, 15) has a behaviour different depending on the tendency of the hub (3) to rotate faster or slower than the ring-shaped element (5). When the tendency of the hub (3) to rotate faster than the ring-shaped element (5) increases, the device assumes the behaviour of a flexible coupling with increasing stiffness, while in the opposite case the connection device tends to uncouple the hub (3) from the ring-shaped element (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Audio is analyzed based on semitone intervals (402-406) and an average is calculated for each semitone channel (408-410). Running averages are calculated for each semitone channel (412) and averages are compared to see if they cross (414, 416). Crossing events are marked and utilized in combination with frequency spectrum data to determine a match between stored sound patterns and the input audio.

Abstract: A method of encoding a digital signal, particularly an audio signal, which predicts favorable scalefactors for different frequency subbands of the signal. Distortion thresholds which are associated with each of the frequency subbands of the signal are used, along with transform coefficients, to calculate total scaling values, one for each of the frequency subbands, such that the product of a transform coefficient for a given subband with its respective total scaling value is less than a corresponding one of the distortion thresholds. In an audio encoding application, the distortion thresholds are based on psychoacoustic masking. The invention may use a novel approximation for calculating the total scaling values, which obtains a first term based on a corresponding distortion threshold, and obtains a second term based on a sum of the transform coefficients. Both of these terms may be obtained using lookup tables. The total scaling values can be normalized to yield scalefactors by identifying one of the total scaling values as a minimum nonzero value, and using that minimum nonzero value to carry out normalization. Encoding of the signal further includes the steps of setting a global gain factor to this minimum nonzero value, and quantizing the transform coefficients using the global gain factor and the scalefactors.

Abstract: The package, especially a container (1) made from a rigid thermoformed thermoplastic material, designed to contain a food product containing grated cheese with flakes that are liable to become detached, has a supple thermoplastic seal (5) welded to the periphery of its rim (6) and an additional weld line inside and more or less parallel to the first one.  The seal is placed on the filled container and both weld lines (7, 8) are made simultaneously, forming a reservoir that holds any loose elements from the packaged product that become melted during the welding process. The weld lines are formed by a heated tool with two projecting lips of semicircular cross-section, spaced preferably 5 mm apart having a channel 2 mm deep between them and vents pierced through the outer lip. The welding is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere at a pressure below atmospheric, which causes the seal material between the weld lines to expand and create a reservoir. The corners (9) of the seal can also be welded down to prevent them lifting during transport and storage.
