Abstract: A method for determining switching sequences of two-dimensional unary arrays
of conducting branches of thermometrically decoded D/A converters, in a way
that will ensure that the relative INL error function be contained between pre-established
symmetrical upper and lower bound functions, has been found When
these upper and lower bound functions are constant, the obtained switching
sequence compensates both the linear and the quadratic component of the error
distribution and therefore is affected by a very small absolute INL error, which
depends essentially on the random component of the error distribution. 
     This method may be easily implemented by a computer program and allows the
realization of thermometrically decoded D/A converters affected by a known
limited INL error function

Abstract: A process to prepare an edible liquid salt containing
organic substances of biologic origin provides the
extraction of seawater (101), which is subject to a
preliminary filtration (102) for removing macroscopic
substances such as algae and sand that can affect the
correct operation of the apparatus used in the process.
The filtered sea solution is then supplied to a vacuum
evaporator (103), which works at a pressure lower that
atmospheric, where a desired concentration is reached by
boiling with consequent evaporation of the water surplus,
until the concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) is about
25%, which corresponds to a concentration of 9.8% in
weight of sodium. The sea solution is then lead to a
battery of filters (104) to purify further the final
product by removing organic and inorganic substances with
size higher than the substances of interest. The refined
product is eventually sent to a bottling station (105).

Abstract: Probiont- and prebiont-loaded zooplankton, such as Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia nauplii, are obtained by culturing zooplankton in the presence of the probionts or prebionts. Probionts or prebionts are loaded into zooplankton in such a manner as to maintain their viability and/or bioactivity. Zooplankton are cultured with free or microencapsulated probionts and/or prebionts, and used as a vector for probiont and/or prebiont delivery to larval and juvenile fish, and crustaceans. The survival rate in breeding larvae and juveniles can be remarkably improved by feeding the probiont- and/or prebiont-containing zooplankton to the larvae or juveniles.

Abstract: An interference canceller is described, comprising an adaptive filter for modeling an interference, such as an echo or noise, and a spectral processor for processing the modeled interference together with near end speech and the interference. The interference canceller further comprises an interference model mismatch compensator coupled to the adaptive filter for providing a mismatch signal to the spectral processor, said mismatch signal showing a speech independent decay. With the model mismatch signal of the interference canceller the interference power spectrum can be estimated very accurately leading to a significant convergence improvement of the acoustic canceller. Especially in the initial convergence phase at the start of a communication session a high quality operation of the acoustic canceller is achieved, which is important as this determines the first quality impression of the user.
