Inventor: TEPER HERBERT
IPC: F24H8/00
Filed: 1997-10-13
Abstract: In the cover chamber (9) of the steel boiler, the inner surface of which forms a first heat exchange surface, a water-conducting conduit is arranged, the one end of which is connected with a back flow conduit (8) and its other end is connected to a forward flow conduit (12). The combustion chamber (1) at its face-side end is provided with a burner (2). The heat exchange surface for transmission of heat from the combustion gases to the hot water is formed by at least two flue gas heat exchangers (3,4) outside the boiler and near to it on the back flow conduit. The heat exchangers in parallel connection are flowed through by a part of the backflow water. Each heat exchanger has a back flow conduit (8a,8b) which are brought together into a single conduit between the heat exchangers and the boiler and connected to the boiler.

Abstract: The cupboard has a pull-out frame (2) mounted on two spaced apart telescopic rails (5) and having a holder (7) for front cladding (18) mounted on the front. Between the frame and the front holder are two spaced apart, fixed pivot bearings (11) with a shared pivot axle (12) at right angles to the pull-out direction. A first perforated plate (20) joined to the holder has a second perforated plate (21) parallel to it. The two plates have holes around the pivot axle and on a shared circle arc so that the angle between the cupboard (15) pull-out direction and the main plane, along which the front cladding extends, is adjustable. The angle is adjustable in discrete steps by connecting the two plates with a connector (24) which fits into a pair of overlapping holes and which block the pivot bearing.

Abstract: Upon reproduction of a television signal, when wide screen signalling (WSS) data is supplied from a reproducing unit to a microcomputer, it is detected that the reproduced signal is a PALplus signal and an LED is illuminated. Thus, reproduction of the PALplus signal can be notified to the user. On the basis of control of the microcomputer, a menu picture plane for function selection is displayed on the monitor by a signal generating circuit. On the basis of the picture plane, by remote controller selection or the like, the user can set a helper killer function, for suppressing helper signals intended to reinforce vertical resolution, to be on or off as required.

Abstract: A speaker recognition device is designed to actualize
speaker recognition which is capable of coping with an increase of
enrolled speakers with a small amount of processing and to provide
a high precision of speaker recognition regardless of a variety of
disturbances. Herein, sound analysis is performed on input voice
data of an input speaker to produce an input pattern representing
sound characteristics. The device stores standard patterns (e.g.,
time series of sound parameters or HMM parameters) with regard
to enrolled speakers in a form of a tree structure which is
constructed by nodes mutually connected together from a root to
leaves. Similarity calculations are performed in a direction from
the root to the leaves of the tree structure to produce similarity
scores between the input pattern and the standard patterns
respectively. An order is determined for the calculated similarity
scores from the highest to the lowest. In addition, a similarity
score is calculated for a designated speaker who is specified by
speaker information input to the device. If a place of the order set
for the designated speaker belongs to a prescribed range of places
of the order, the device makes a decision of acceptance that the
input speaker coincides with the designated speaker. If not, the
device makes a decision of rejection that the input speaker feigns to
be the designated speaker.

detection unit detects a movement variation between the
present image signal and an image signal previously applied
prior to the present image as a shutter button for
opening/closing the shutter is turned on, and a shutter speed
control unit controls the shutter speed of the optical block
unit proportionally to the movement variation detected by the

Abstract: A method for forming a dielectric for a
capacitor. The method includes providing a
semiconductor; forming a non-uniform layer on a surface
of the semiconductor; subjecting the semiconductor and
the non-uniform layer thereon to heat and pressure
producing pits in a surface of the semiconductor;
forming a second dielectric over the pitted surface of
the semiconductor to provide the dielectric for the
capacitor. With such method, the dielectric has
increased surface area for formation of a capacitor
electrode having a corresponding increased surface area
to thereby increase the capacitance of the capacitor.
Thus, the usually detrimental effect of pit formation
is used to increase the surface area of the electrodes
of a capacitor. The step of subjecting the
semiconductor to heat and pressure producing pits in a
surface of the semiconductor comprises the step of
subjecting the semiconductor with the dielectric layer
thereon to a first anneal and wherein the step of
rounding the pits produced in the surface of the
semiconductor comprises the step of subjecting the
semiconductor to a second anneal. A DRAM cell is
provided having a single crystal body. The body has
formed therein a transistor and a capacitor coupled to
the capacitor. The capacitor includes a doped single
crystal semiconductor portion formed in the body, such
portion having a pitted surface. The doped
semiconductor portion provides a first electrode for
the capacitor. A dielectric is disposed over the
pitted surface of the semiconductor. A second
electrode for the capacitor is disposed over the
dielectric and electrically is connected to the
transistor.
