Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de test affectant à des fonctionnalités le type 'temps réel' ou le type 'hors-ligne'. Les fonctions temps réel (25) sont limitées au mouvement des objets à tester au niveau des postes de tests (16, 18), à la mise en oeuvre des sondes de collecte des données brutes, et au stockage des données brutes (26). Les fonctions hors lignes (30) portent sur la suppression des structures de complément se trouvant parmi les données brutes, l'analyse des données brutes en fonction de diverses règles et la gestion du tri des objets testés en tenant compte de l'analyse. En limitant le traitement temps réel à un minimum d'éléments essentiels pour la mise en oeuvre de la ligne des test (10), le fonctionnement des lignes de test reste possible, même si les fonctions hors lignes ne sont pas mises en oeuvre.

Abstract: In a method for reducing interferences in a voice signal, a noise reduction method is applied to the voice signal, and spectral psychoacoustic masking is taken into account. A spectral masking curve is determined both for the input signal and the output signal of the noise reduction method. By comparing the signal portions exceeding the respective masking curve, newly-audible portions are detected in the form of interference in the output signal and subsequently damped selectively.

Abstract: A non-temporal, non-linear multimedia composition method and software system used in producing digital composition sequences. The method treats all digital signals and information, including video, audio, image, documents source materials, as common data types for composition and creation purposes, The invention employs a spatial, non-temporal, non-linear story line method for displaying and manipulating digital source material objects for composition purposes. The method utilizes content specific, dynamic pictorial objects to denote digital source materials stored in computer readable format to facilitate ease of operation in performing non-linear, non-timeline multimedia composition operations. Methods are provided for dynamic previewing and manipulation of images, video, audio, three dimensional objects and animation sequences denoted by dynamic pictorial objects representing digital source materials stored in computer readable format. The method of the present invention employs a function-specific software console metaphor in which all composition elements are displayed within a single, integrated console environment, including a dynamic story line display facility, video editor, special effects editor, transitions editor, video animation editor, audio studio, plug-in editor, digital capture and output editor. The present invention includes a method for visually denoting the active status of one or more composition editors as applied to a specific composition segment or sequence. Methods for facilitating dynamic image capture from digital video sources are employed in the present invention. The system and method utilizes animated multistage three dimensional pictorial icons with associated properties as controls for the purpose of initiating specific computing commands and composition process related tasks.

Abstract: A denitration catalyst for use in the reduction of nitrogen oxides contained in an exhaust gas containing highly deliquescent salts as dust with ammonia, which bears thereon a porous coating of a water-repellent organic resin, a porous coating of a mixture of a water-repellent organic resin with inorganic oxide particles, or a porous coating of a mixture of a water-repellent organic resin with catalyst component particles. The denitration catalyst can be prepared, for example, by coating the surface of a denitration catalyst with an aqueous dispersion containing a water-repellent organic resin having a lower concentration, drying the coating, further coating the dried coating with an aqueous dispersion containing a water-repellent organic resin having a higher concentration, and the drying the coating to form a porous coating of a water-repellent organic resin. This denitration catalyst, even when used in the treatment of an exhaust gas containing ash containing highly deliquescent salts, enables the water-repellent porous coating formed on the surface to prevent the salts that have deliquesced from entering the catalyst. This can prevent the deterioration of the catalyst and enables a high catalytic activity to be maintained for a long period of time. <IMAGE>
