Abstract: A synchronization ratio S of a rotation speed of a screw, in which the position of a flight thereof does not apparently move relative to a backward speed R of the screw, is defined as 100%. The screw is driven backward while being rotated. A rotation speed R of the screw during the backward movement is given by multiplying the rotation speed R, which is expressed by the equation, R = backward speed V/pitch P of the flight, by an arbitrary synchronization ratio Sx, wherein when the synchronization ratio S is less than 100%, the screw is rotated more slowly relative to the backward speed V of the screw, so that a resin in the heating cylinder tends to be dragged backwards and wherein when the synchronization ratio S is 100% or more, the screw is rotated faster relative to the backward speed V of the srew, so that the resin in the heating cylinder tends to be fed forward to the screw. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the voice control of a device appertaining to consumer electronics, speech inputs of a user are converted into digitized voice signals. First features, which are characteristic of the individual sounds of the speech, and thus permit recognition of the spoken sounds, are extracted from the digitized voice signals. Furthermore, second features, which permit a characterization of the voice of the respective user and are used for distinguishing between the speech inputs of different users, are extracted from the digitized voice signals. This enables the device being operated to distinguish between speech inputs of the present user, which represent operator-control commands, and utterances by other persons, and to respond only to operator-control commands of the present user. Furthermore, the quality of an analysis of the viewing habits of different users can be improved by a distinction between the users.

Title: Geared drive ring coupler
Inventor: YUAN JING
IPC: F16H15/42
Filed: 2001-05-11
Granted: 2005-03-16
Abstract: The invention comprises a geared drive ring coupler. The geared drive ring coupler comprises two pairs of adjacent drive rings rotatably connected to each end of a frame. Each pair of drive rings is meshed together with the cooperating pair of drive rings on the opposing end of the frame. The relative spatial arrangement of the axis of rotation of each set of drive rings is maintained by the frame, which in turn holds the drive rings in a predetermined relationship between the pulley sheaves. The drive rings on the driver pulley turn in the same direction as the driver pulley through frictional contact with the sides of the CVT driver pulley sheaves. The drive rings on the driven pulley side rotate in the opposite direction to the drive rings on the driver pulley, since they are meshed together. The driven drive rings are then in frictional contact with the sides of the driven pulley sheaves, thereby driving the driven pulley. The effective diameter or radius of each pulley is adjusted by movement of the pulley sheaves. Movement of the pulley sheaves causes the axis of rotation of each set of drive rings to move eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation of their respective pulley. Since the drive rings are mechanically connected, the drive rings move with the frame as a unit in response to the movement of the pulley sheaves, thereby changing the effective gear ratio of the transmission.

Abstract: A method for enhancing vision of an eye includes a laser delivery system having a laser beam for ablating corneal material from the cornea of the eye. Measurements are made to determine an optical path difference between a plane wave and a wavefront emanating from the retina of the eye for a location at a surface of the cornea. An optical correction is provided to the laser delivery system for the location based on the optical path difference and refractive indices of media through which the wavefront passes. The optical correction includes dividing the optical path difference by a difference between an index of refraction of corneal material and an index of refraction of air. The laser beam is directed to the location on the surface of the cornea and corneal material ablated at the location in response to the optical correction to cause the wavefront to approximate the shape of the plane wave at that location.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for measuring tire forces wherein the force contributions of the test machine may be separated from the force contributions of the tire. The invention achieves the separation of the forces by equipping the test station with a plurality of accelerometers that allow the forces and the moments of the components of the measurement station to be calculated and accounted for in the overall force measurement. In one embodiment, the test station uses a slip ring disposed between the rotating rotor to which the tire is mounted and the stationary bearing housing to allow data to be easily gathered from the accelerometers mounted on the rotor. The slip ring also allows tires to be easily mounted and dismounted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a strip casting machine ( 10 ), whereby molten metal ( 18 ) is poured between two rotatable casting rolls ( 11, 12 ). A gaseous film (G) is formed between the respective surfaces ( 11', 12' ) of the casting rolls and the strip skin (D 1 , D 2 , D 3 ) forming on the molten metal, the gas being introduced essentially into the inerting chamber ( 24 ) above the metal bath. During the casting, a controlled quantity of a gas consisting of argon, nitrogen and/or another gas is introduced into the inerting chamber ( 24 ) in such a way that the heat transfer from the strip skin to the casting rolls ( 11, 12 ) can be influenced by the thickness of the gaseous film (G) in such a way that the surfaces ( 11, 12 ') of the casting rolls can be provided with or without cavities ( 51 ).

Abstract: A pliable band or hoop that is flexible to normal handling, but cannot stretch circumferentially once it has reached the limits of its circumferential length. The band may have a structural portal to be used for filling, or it may simply be constructed of a fabric-like material that allows a fill tube to perforate its walls to allow for filling. In the latter case, the perforated wall tends to self-seal once the fill tube is withdrawn. The band may be flat or tubular in cross-section. However, unlike a balloon, the band does not require either a bottom or a top, as we found that a top and bottom are unnecessary when using a band or hoop to enclose material injected into a reamed out intervertebral space.
