Abstract: A lossless audio codec encodes/decodes a lossless variable bit rate (VBR) bitstream with random access point (RAP) capability to initiate loss less decoding at a specified segment within a frame and/or multiple prediction parameter set (MPPS) capability partitioned to mitigate transient effects. This is accomplished with an adaptive segmentation technique that fixes segment start points based on constraints imposed by the existence of a desired RAP and/or detected transient in the frame and selects a optimum segment duration in each frame to reduce encoded frame payload subject to an encoded segment payload constraint RAP and MPPS are particularly applicable to improve overall performance for longer frame durations.

Abstract: An auger compactor bin system that reduces the amount of trash and waste that escapes through the auger hole formed on the bin. The system includes a bin with an auger hole formed on one end in which an auger nozzle is inserted. Mounted over the auger hole is a sealing disk assembly that includes a coaxially aligned ring spacer, an inner mounting ring affixed to the end of the bin, a flat circular elastic disk with an inner bore or circular valve, an outer ring and a plurality of threaded connectors. During operation, the auger nozzle is axially aligned over the bin's auger hole and inner hole or circular valve formed on the elastic disk. When the bin is then forced over the auger nozzle, the elastic disk bends inward and stretches to create a tight seal around the nozzle. When the bin is full, the bin is then moved so that the nozzle is pulled through the disk and the disk rebounds to its original flat configuration and keeps waste and trash from escaping.

Abstract: Un appareil pour saisir et soulever des objets, comme des pièces moulées de construction, doté dun cadre en forme de T comprenant des éléments de cadre horizontal et vertical allongés. Lélément de cadre vertical est reçu de manière coulissante dans une extrémité dun élément de manchon creux qui est relié à son extrémité supérieure à un moyen de levage tel quune boucle ou un crochet. Une paire de bras pivotants articulés sont reliés à une extrémité à lélément de manchon creux et à lautre extrémité à lélément de cadre horizontal, un joint étant prévu entre les extrémités de chaque bras pivotant. Une pluralité déléments de contact conçus pour venir en contact avec la paroi latérale dune pièce moulée de construction et saisir celle-ci sont supportés aux extrémités de lélément de cadre horizontal. En cours dutilisation, lappareil est placé par-dessus une pièce moulée de construction, lélément de cadre horizontal reposant sur la surface supérieure et les éléments de contact en position étant orientés vers la paroi latérale de la pièce moulée. Lappareil est alors soulevé, par exemple par une rétrocaveuse ou une chargeuse, ce qui fait en sorte que lélément de manchon glisse vers le haut le long de lélément de cadre vertical. Ceci amène les bras pivotants à se soulever et entraîne un mouvement de pivotement vers lintérieur et le haut des éléments de contact, les amenant à venir en contact avec la paroi de la pièce moulée et à saisir celle-ci. La force de préhension augmente avec le poids de la pièce moulée.

Title: Earth ground tester with remote control
Inventor: LAEPPLE KLAUS
IPC: G01V3/02
Filed: 2010-11-18
Abstract: A testing device which may be used to conduct ground resistance and soil resistivity measurements. The testing device comprises both a main unit and a remote unit adapted to communicate with one another via a communication link. After setting the testing device up according to the desired measurement technique, the procedure may be carried out, and the resulting measurement values are subsequently displayed on the remote unit. This allows a single operator to perform measurements while standing directly adjacent to an electrode, which is, for example, placed at a large distance from the main unit and/or other electrodes. This relieves the operator from constantly having to walk back and forth placing electrodes in different positions, and also obviates the need to return to the main unit of the testing device to consult a display and/or change parameters or settings.

Abstract: The specification discloses methods and apparatus for selecting the better of two or more copies of a cell in a cell-oriented redundant switching system connected to an external communications network. In the preferred embodiment, the best cell copy selection aligns redundantly transmitted cell streams before selecting cells for insertion in the data stream. Because the streams are aligned before the selection is made, the best cell copy selector compares each cell at the same instant in time, rather than basing its selection on past events.
