Abstract: The method involves using a multi-layer self-organising neural network with feedback. A minima detection layer, a reaction layer, a diffusion layer and an integration layer define a filter function (F(f,T)) for noise filtering. The filter function is used to convert a spectrum B(f,T) free of noise, into a noise-free speech signal (y(t)) by inverse Fourier transformation. The signal delay caused by processing the signal is so short that the filter can operate in real-time for telecommunication. All neurons are supplied with an externally set parameter K, the size of which defines the degree of noise suppression of the whole filter. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for noise suppression during speech transmission.

Abstract: A system for determining a pacing energy stimulation
threshold of a heart chamber (12,16) for use in a cardiac
pacemaker (20) for applying to the chamber of the heart
(10) pacing electrical pulses of sufficient energy so as
to exceed a pacing energy stimulation threshold. The
system includes a pulse generator (38) which repeatedly
applies pacing electrical pulse pairs to the chamber.
Each electrical pulse pair (81,82) includes a first pulse
and a second pulse. The first pulse precedes the second
pulse and is of lesser energy that the second pulse. The
first and second pulses evoke a first and second response
respectively of the chamber. A subtractor subtracts the
second response from the first response for each pulse
pair to provide a series of capture values. The
stimulation threshold is selected when the capture values
change sign. Also disclosed is a method carried out by
the disclosed system.

Inventor: JONES C THOMAS
IPC: E05F15/10
Filed: 2000-04-10
Abstract: The present invention provides an infant warming apparatus that functions both as an infant incubator as well as an infant warmer. The apparatus has a heater (12) that moves vertically with respect to an infant support (14) during the change in function between a lower position in which it acts as an infant incubator and an upper position (shown in Figure 1) in which it acts as an infant warmer. A powered motive system, such as an electric motor, powers the movement of the heater (12) between its upper and its lower positions. The heater (12) also has a door or doors that are open when the heater is at or nearing the upper position so that the heater can direct energy toward the infant to warm the infant when acting as an infant warmer. The doors close at or shortly after the heater commences movement to the lower position. When closed, the doors isolate the heater to prevent the inadvertent touching of the heater by the infant or attending personnel and prevents the further radiating of infrared energy towards the infant. The mechanism can operate automatically without any reminder to the user or action by the user. A vent is also provided in the heater housing that ventilates the housing when the heater (12) is in its upper position and closes to confine the housing when the heater is in its lower position. A mechanism automatically closes the vent when the heater moves from its upper position to its lower position and opens the vent when the heater moves from its lower position to its upper position. In the preferred embodiment, the vent is biased towards its open position and the doors are biased towards their open positions. <IMAGE>

apparatus is composed so that transmission is started using this bandwidth
and because returning and re-acquisition are not accompanied when the
transmission is switched, necessary procedure can be simplified. Further,
it is possible to effectively use the bandwidth by using a propagation delay
identifier.

Abstract: The tuned energy redistribution system is used to precisely control the amplitude of vibrations in a vibrating system. The vibrating system typically has a resonant frequency or other vibration frequency modes that are either undesirable or of excessive amplitude. The present tuned energy redistribution system functions to redistribute the vibrational energy from these undesirable frequencies to other selected frequencies, such as by spreading the vibration frequencies out over a wide band of frequencies. The tuned energy redistribution comprises vibration input elements and/or vibration shaping elements that collectively function to enable the user to program the frequency and magnitude of the vibrations that are produced by the vibrating system. This energy redistribution is typically accomplished by providing tuned absorbers, consisting of a vibrating mass and a vibration stop, which shape the frequency response of the vibrating system by responding to frequencies mostly neartheir natural frequency of vibration and then, when the response displacement is sufficient, provide a vibration input by impacting the element in the vibrating system to which they are connected via the vibration stop, causing broad band vibration to be generated by the series of impacts.
