Abstract: A subband audio coder employs perfect/non-perfect reconstruction filters, predictive/non-predictive subband encoding, transient analysis, and psycho-acoustic/minimum mean-square-error (mmse) bit allocation over time, frequency and the multiple audio channels to encode/decode a data stream to generate high fidelity reconstructed audio. The audio coder windows the multi-channel audio signal such that the frame size, i.e. number of bytes, is constrained to lie in a desired range, and formats the encoded data so that the individual subframes can be played back as they are received thereby reducing latency. Furthermore, the audio coder processes the baseband portion (0-24 kHz) of the audio bandwidth for sampling frequencies of 48 kHz and higher with the same encoding/decoding algorithm so that audio coder architecture is future compatible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for guiding strands in a continuous casting installation, in particular an installation for producing thin slabs made of steel, having an ingot mold and a strand-guidance frame which is provided with a cooling device. In this case, heat is extracted indirectly from the strand after it leaves the ingot mold, and the strand, at least in sections, is held in shape, guided in the strand discharge direction and additionally cooled by means of a gaseous medium. Furthermore, the strand is additionally moved in a defined manner and at a predeterminable speed through the strand frame by mechanical means, the speed of the strand being accelerated or decelerated. The invention furthermore relates to a device for carrying out the method. See <cross-reference target="DRAWINGS">FIG. 1</cross-reference>.

Abstract: A taking lens (5, 105) of a used lens-fitted photo film unit (2) is cleaned according to sequential steps. Loosened cleaning tape (48, 366) is opposed to the taking lens. A cleaning head (56, 361) is caused to press the cleaning tape against the taking lens. While the cleaning tape is pressed against the taking lens, the cleaning head is moved, to wipe the taking lens with the cleaning tape. Furthermore, before wiping with the cleaning tape, the taking lens is brushed. The cleaning head is rotated back and forth. In a preferred embodiment, a recycling apparatus includes a disassembly line (100) which disassembles the lens-fitted photo film unit after removal of a cassette shell (24, 123) with photo film ( 25, 124) being exposed. A main body (15, 115, 171) is obtained with at least a cassette shutter closing mechanism (147) for a cassette shutter (27, 127) and a frame counter mechanism (152). A closing mechanism setting device (180, 181, 189, 198) sets the cassette shutter closing mechanism in the shutter opening position.
