Abstract: Disclosed is a method for regulating an active chassis of a tracked vehicle, said chassis comprising at least one wheel unit (105) with two wheels. According to the inventive method, the turning angle of the first wheel unit (105) about a vertical chassis axis relative to a vehicle structure (102) that is supported on the first wheel unit by means of a first primary spring mechanism (107) is adjusted in a first frequency range with the aid of at least one first actuator (109) which acts between the first wheel unit (105) and the vehicle structure (102), the adjustment being made in accordance with the actual curvature of the track, and/or the turning angle of the first wheel unit (105) about the vertical chassis axis relative to the vehicle structure (102) is adjusted in a second frequency range in such a way that transversal movements at least of the first wheel unit (105) caused by a track displacement or a sinusoidal course are counteracted. In the first frequency range, the turning angle of the first wheel unit (105) is adjusted using a first desired value corresponding to a first ideal value multiplied by a first correction factor (K1), said first ideal value being selected such that the first wheel unit (105) is adjusted at least approximately by the radius of curvature if the first desired value matches the first ideal value (i.e. K1=1), and/or in the second frequency range, the turning angle of the first wheel unit (105) is adjusted using a second desired value which corresponds to a second ideal value multiplied by a predefined second correction factor (K2), said second ideal value being selected such that transversal movements at least of the first wheel unit (105) caused by a track displacement or a sinusoidal course are essentially compensated if the second desired value matches the second ideal value (i.e. K2=1).

Title: Treatment processing of a plurality of streaming voice signals for determination of responsive action thereto
Inventor: JANAN BIJI K
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 2009-04-30
Abstract: Streaming voice signals, such as might be received at a contact center or similar operation, are analyzed to detect the occurrence of one or more unprompted, predetermined utterances. The predetermined utterances preferably constitute a vocabulary of words and/or phrases having particular meaning within the context in which they are uttered. Detection of one or more of the predetermined utterances during a call causes a determination of response- determinative significance of the detected utterance(s). Based on the respon se- determinative significance of the detected utterance(s), a responsive action may be furthe r determined. Additionally, long term storage of the call corresponding to the detected utterance may also be initiated. Conversely, calls in which no predetermined utterances are detect ed may be deleted from short term storage. In this manner, the present invention simplifies th e storage requirements for contact centers and provides the opportunity to improve caller experiences by providing shorter reaction times to potentially problematic situations.

Title: Method of manufacturing industrial textiles by minimizing warp changes
Inventor: DANBY ROGER
IPC: D03D49/00
Filed: 2009-07-24
Abstract: A wide variety of industrial fabric structures, each of which previously utilized differing warp yam materials, cross-sectional areas and shapes from the others, can now be woven using as few as one but no more than four warp sizes, material compositions, cross--sectional shapes and meshes by careful initial selection of that warp material, and by subsequent adjustment of the cross-sectional area, shape, material composition and knocking (number of yarns per unit length) of the weft yarns in combination with the basis weight of the product to be manufactured using the fabric. Single and multiple layer fabric structures, requiring either single or multiple beam loom arrangements configured for weaving fabrics according to patterns requiring integer multiples of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 24 sheds, or other numbers of sheds, can thus be made from a single warp "platform"  thereby greatly reducing loom set up and material requirements and thus optimize fabric production.

Abstract: A human-powered recumbent tricycle which leans as it turns is disclosed. It consists of a front and a rear section, connected by means of a pivot joint, which is inclined towards the rear section and, as a result, permits the front section to lean as it turns. The front section consists of a frame, drivetrain, seat and front wheel. The drivetrain powers the tricycle in a manner similar to a bicycle. The rear section consists of a frame and two freely-rotating wheels, with a steering control bar, which the rider uses to steer the vehicle, mounted underneath the rear frame. Due to the inclined nature of the pivot joint, the front section leans as it rotates relative to the rear section. To accommodate a number of rider heights, the seat position is adjustable, and the rear frame may carry a number of different structures, such as a cargo container or a set of seats for transporting people.
