Abstract: Les seuls procédés disponibles jusqu'ici de production de laine minérale à partir de matières telles que le basalte emploient soit une buse immobile (procédé d'étirage par fluide) soit la centrifugation externe, ce qui entraîne un rendement peu satisfaisant et/ou une qualité de fibre qui laisse à désirer, notamment en ce qui concerne une teneur élevée en constituants non défibrés. On a donc prévu une application d'un procédé de défibrage permettant d'obtenir un bon rendement de fibres de haute qualité et à faible proportion de perles, et cela malgré la fluidité élevée de la matière minérale en fusion telle que le basalte. A cet effet, on sélectionne des matières spécifiques et on effectue leur défibrage dans des conditions spécifiques. Tandis que le défibrage par centrifugation externe de ces matières fluides s'effectue à des viscosités de quelques dizaines de poises, il faut que le défibrage par centrifugation interne s'effectue à des viscosités supérieures à 100 poises pour que la réalisation d'une laine minérale ayant une faible teneur en perles et trouvant application dans l'isolation soit assurée.

Abstract: Cut resistant, abrasion resistant and electrically conductive yarns (1) are formed in torque-free form from stainless steel and other metallic yarns (2) served with or formed into composite twists with non-metallic yarns and fibers (4) and (5). The metallic yarn (2) is made up of at least about 60 ends, and up to as many as about 300 ends, of metal fibers (3) having a diameter of from about 2 to about 25 mum. The absence of torque permits facile knitting into protective garments, such as cut resistant, abrasion resistant and/or electrically conductive gloves (10), or yarns which are as much as 85 to 90% by weight metallic fiber. When knit into gloves, added protection may be provided from puncture injuries if the palm (12), finger stalls (14) and thumb stall (16) are coated or impregnated with an elastomer or the like.

Abstract: In battery-buffered power supply units having a diode, which decouples an intermediate-circuit voltage and an accumulator voltage as a buffer voltage, there is a risk of explosion or of a fire of an accumulator as a consequence of overcharging in the event of the decoupling diode short-circuiting. An accumulator charging current is therefore inhibited when the power supply unit is switched on, and is not released again until a minimum reverse voltage has built up on the decoupling diode as a result of a test current. A voltage which is raised above the accumulator voltage by a predetermined basic amount is produced during operation of the power supply unit. In the event of a defect, the raised voltage is greater than the intermediate-circuit voltage. The accumulator is therefore disconnected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Lead-contaminated soil and battery casings are remediated using a plasma arc furnace which pyrolyzes the soil and waste battery casings so as to form a vitrified slag and a combustible gas, respectively. The combustible gas along with volatilized lead (and other heavy metals which may be present) are transferred to, and used as a primary fuel by, a conventional smelting furnace. The volatilized lead that is entrained in the combustible gas is thus transferred to the recovery and environmental protection/control equipment associated with the smelting furnace. The soil, on the other hand, is convened into a non-toxic (i.e., according to the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) vitrified slag by the plasma arc which may be crushed and used as a commercial material (e.g., roadway aggregate, asphalt filler material and the like) or simply transferred to a landfill where it poses no environmental threat.

Abstract: Un système de programmation par objets conçu pour l'utilisateur non spécialisé constitue un processus interactif et dynamique pour la construction incrémentielle de programmes ordinateur. Il facilite le développement de programmes ordinateur complexes tels que des systèmes d'exploitation et des applications étendues avec des interfaces graphiques pour l'utilisateur. Le programme est modélisé sous la forme d'un ensemble d'unités appelées composantes. Une composante représente un élément unique de langage compilable, tel qu'une classe ou une fonction. Les fonctions opérationnelles majeures sont la base de données, le compilateur et le mécanisme de construction et de liaison. La base de données mémorise les composantes et les propriétés. Le compilateur, en même temps qu'il compile le code de base d'une propriété et qu'il génère un code objet, est chargé du calcul des dépendances associées à une composante. Le mécanisme de construction utilise les propriétés des composantes en combinaison avec les dépendances générées par le compilateur pour séquencer correctement et efficacement la compilation des composantes durant un processus de construction. Le mécanisme de liaison relie tous les codes des objets à mesure que la composante les enregistre dans la base des données des composantes. Seules les composantes réactualisées nécessitent des opérations de liaison.

Abstract: Spoken-language instruction method and apparatus employ context-based speech recognition for instruction and evaluation, particularly language instruction and language fluency evaluation. A system can administer a lesson, and particularly a language lesson, and evaluate performance in a natural interactive manner while tolerating strong foreign accents, and produce as an output a reading quality score. A finite state grammar set corresponding to the range of word sequence patterns in the lesson is employed as a constraint on a hidden Markov model (HMM) search apparatus in an HMM speech recognizer which includes a set of hidden Markov models of target-language narrations produced by native speakers of the target language. The invention is preferably based on use of a linguistic context-sensitive speech recognizer. The invention includes a system with an interactive decision mechanism which employs at least three levels of error tolerance to simulate a natural level of patience in human-based interactive instruction. A system for a reading phase is implemented through a finite state machine having at least four states which recognizes reading error at any position in a script and which employs a first set of actions. A related system for an interactive question phase is implemented through a finite state machine, but which recognizes reading errors as well as incorrect answers while invoking a second set of actions. A linguistically-sensitive utterance endpoint detector is provided for judging termination of a spoken utterance to simulate human turn-taking in conversational speech.
