Abstract: A container (10) having an integrated bottom end (22) closure subassembly. The container includes a top opening (18) and bottom opening (24). The top opening (18) is initially closed and sealed with a top membrane (30) while the bottom opening (24) is closed by the end closure (22) subassembly. The subassembly includes an end cap (44) and a bottom membrane (42). The subassembly is configured so that positioning the end cap (44) onto the container (10) to close the bottom opening (24) positions the bottom membrane (42) near the container (10). The bottom membrane (42) may be sealed to the container (10). Once the bottom membrane (42) is sealed to the container (10), the end cap (44) may be removed from the container (10) independently from the bottom membrane (42). The end cap (44) provides protection to the bottom membrane (42) during shipping and handling and then is used by the consumer to reclose the top opening (18) once the top membrane (30) is removed.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, dans un codage sans perte basé sur des pertes, un signal audio PCM passe par un codeur avec perte (41) à un décodeur avec perte (42). Le codeur avec perte produit un flux binaire avec perte (111). Le décodeur avec perte produit également des informations secondaires (115) qui servent à réguler (105) les coefficients (118) d'un filtre de prévision (106) qui dé-corrèle le signal de différence (104) entre le signal PCM et la sortie du décodeur avec perte. Le signal de différence dé-corrélé est codé sans perte (108), produisant un flux binaire d'extension (121). À la place ou en plus de la dé-corrélation dans le domaine temporel, une dé-corrélation dans le domaine de fréquence à l'aide d'un blanchissement spectral peut être réalisée. Le flux binaire codé avec perte et le flux binaire d'extension codé sans perte forment un flux binaire codé sans perte. L'invention facilite l'amélioration d'un codage/décodage audio perceptif avec perte par une extension qui permet une reproduction mathématiquement exacte de la forme d'onde originale, et produit des données additionnelles pour reconstruire au niveau du site de décodeur un signal audio de qualité intermédiaire. L'extension sans perte peut être utilisée pour étendre le codage/décodage mp3 largement utilisé au codage/décodage sans perte et au codage/décodage mp3 de qualité supérieure.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a composite plate produced by an alternating stack of (n+1) flexible graphite foils and (n) perforated metal reinforcing foils with spurs (where n≧2). The thicknesses of the flexible graphite foils used are preferably such that any 2 mm slice of thickness of the composite plate comprises at least 3 layers of flexible graphite, and has a graphite density per unit area of at least 2.34 kg/m2. For each perforated metal reinforcing foil, the spurs present on the foil generally have a height in relation to the surface of that foil that does not exceed about 1.3 times the thickness of the thinnest of the flexible graphite layers to which it is attached. A composite plate of the present invention enables the manufacture of gaskets that resist temperatures up to 550° C. under continuous service.

Abstract: A legged robot in which a trunk link is less likely to rock during walking. The legged robot (10) has the trunk link (12) and a pair of legs (20L, 20R).  The legs (20L, 20R) have pitch joints (24L, 24R), respectively.  The pitch joints (24L, 24R) each can rotate links, connected to the joint, relative to each other in a plane intersecting with a line extending in the direction of the sides of the trunk.  The rotation centers (24LP, 24RP) of the pitch joints are located above the position (G) of the gravity center of the trunk link.  The legs of the legged robot swing back and forth mainly about the rotation centers to create walking motion.  Accordingly, the trunk link (12) also walks while rocking back and forth mainly about the rotation centers.  Because the position (G) of the gravity center of the trunk (12) is below the rotation centers, the gravity acting on the trunk link (12) acts in the direction to suppress rocking of the trunk (12) during walking.  This makes the trunk less likely to rock back and forth during walking.

Abstract: A solar tracking device is mounted above a skylight of a building. An array of mirrors is rotated at a rate of one revolution per day to reflect sunlight through the skylight. A control circuit intermittently adjusts the angular position of the tracking device so that the mirrors face the sun. A solar array charges an internal energy storage system so that no external power source is needed. The control circuit within the tracking device reduces the power requirements at night and when not moving the tracking device during the daytime to conserve electrical energy.
