Patent EP-0751495-B1 (EP)
Inventor: STEGMANN JOACHIM DIPL-ING
IPC: G10L25/93

Abstract: The method classifies speech, in particular speech signals, for the adaptive control of a speech encoding process. This encoding reduces the bit rate while keeping the speech quality the same, or increases the quality while keeping the bit rate the same. After segmenting the speech signal for each frame, a wavelet transformation is calculated. Using adaptive thresholds, a set of parameters is derived which control a state model. The speech frames are divided into sub-frames. Each sub-frame is divided into one of several typical classes for the speech encoding. The speech signal may be divided into segments of constant length. To reduce the edge effects with the wavelet transformation, either the segment at the boundaries is reflected or the wavelet transformation is calculated at smaller intervals. The frames are preferably shifted such that the segments overlap, or at the edges the segments are filled with previous or predicted sample values.

Abstract: A treatment of metallurgical dust and recovery of valuable chemical commodities, comprising the steps of: leaching salts from the dust with water to create a washed EAF dust; reacting the washed EAF dust in a nitric acid solution resulting in a nearly complete dissolution of the zinc, cadmium, copper, magnesium, calcium, manganese and lead from a filtrate; removing iron from the filtrate by raising pH in the system with basic zinc carbonate; removing cadmium, copper and lead in an electrolytic cell, where copper and cadmium are collected at the cathode, and lead is collected at the anode; evaporating and decomposing the filtrate to obtain metal oxides and anhydrous calcium nitrate; leaching the solid residue with water to separate calcium nitrate in a marketable form; removing the zinc from the magnesium and manganese by leaching the residue with an amine solution; stripping the filtrate of ammonium carbonate to yield zinc precipitated as a zinc oxycarbonate; dividing the zinc oxycarbonate into a first stream and a second stream by reacting the zinc complex with acid to produce a zinc product, the first stream serving as a pH adjuster to precipitate iron, the second stream preparing highly pure zinc products for sale; and, separating a residue containing magnesium and manganese by dissolving magnesium in acid, whereby liquid filtrate contains marketable magnesium nitrate or sulfate. The nitric gases given off during the steps are recycled to nitric acid by a nitric recycle.

Abstract: The very weak primary spring (2) has an extremely flat characteristic line in the 'vehicle empty' loading state. This spring characteristic line evolves into a very steep spring characteristic line when there is only a slight increase in spring force and a reduced spring path. Additional spring forces, which arise through the loading of the vehicle, are taken up by a second very weak additional spring, which then engages on a regulatable basis, when the springing exceeds an adjustable value. The primary spring and the additional spring are connected in parallel and together form a structural part.

Abstract: A current interrupt mechanism for electrochemical cells is disclosed. A thermally activated current interrupt mechanism is integrated into an end cap assembly for an electrochemical cell. The thermally responsive mechanism preferably includes a free floating bimetallic disk which deforms when exposed to elevated temperature causing a break in an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. This prevents current from flowing through the cell and effectively shuts down an operating cell. Alternatively, the thermally responsive mechanism may include a meltable mass of material which melts when exposed to elevated temperature to break an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly. The end cap assembly may also include integrated therein a pressure responsive current interrupt mechanism. If the internal gas pressure within an operating cell exceeds a predetermined value, the pressure responsive mechanism activates to sever an electrical pathway within the end cap assembly to prevent current from passing through the cell. The pressure responsive mechanism may include a diaphragm which ruptures when there is extreme gas pressure buildup. Gas is allowed to escape from the cell interior to the external environment through a series of vent apertures within the end cap assembly.

Abstract: Method for improving the calling procedure of telephones (13) by creating customized messages (20) for telephones coupled to a telephone exchange (11). The messages are registered on one or more sections of memory (21) located in the telephone exchange and coupled to the telephone. The messages can be played over a boosted loudspeaker or the earphone of the telephone. When the telephone is switched on, but is not in communication with another telephone, the ring loudspeaker, if any, and the earphone loudspeaker are disactivated, and the boosted loudspeaker is activated. When a caller telephone receives a call from a caller telephone the activated boosted loudspeaker plays the chosen registered and optionally other messages. When the caller and called telephone are hooked up, the boosted loudspeaker is disactivated, the earphone loudspeaker is activated and, thereby, placing the caller telephone in communication with said called telephone in the normal way.
