Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft die Steuerung einer automatischen
Kupplung zwischen Motor und Antriebstrang eines Kraftfahrzeuges
bei Anfahrsituationen. Sollte dabei das Leistungssteuerorgan
des Motors (z.B. Fahrpedal oder Drosselklappe) zurückgesteuert
werden, öffnet die Kupplung vollständig, um ein

Abstract: A speaker system is disclosed which is capable of supplying
reproduced sounds vibrating in substantially the same manner as in
the respiratory sphere to human's sense of hearing by using
conventional unidirectional speaker units in combination in a
contrived arrangement, and by applying real time digital signal
processing by means of a digital signal processor to the speaker
units to cancel a peak and a dip in frequency response and in phase
response through inverse correction which cannot be canceled only by
improving the arrangement of the speaker units, thereby forming a
sound emitter capable of providing ideal reproduced sounds. The
speaker system comprises an enclosure EC having a basic structure of
a hollow 32-hedron composed of 12 pentagonal flat surfaces and 20
hexagonal flat surfaces, speaker units 7 or 8 mounted in all or 25-31
of the 32 surfaces, and a real time digital signal processing system
inserted in a input line of each of the speaker units 7 or 8.
The digital signal processing system inverse-characteristically
filtering driving signals of the speaker units to evenly correcting a
peak 4 and a dip 5 caused in frequency response and in phase response
of each of the speaker units 7 or 8.

Abstract: An integrated inductor arrangement comprises a first layer (18) of a first doping type disposed
on a second layer (20) of a second doping type, a dielectric layer (11) disposed on said first layer and
a metallisation inductor structure (12) disposed on said dielectric layer. A biasing means is
provided to allow the reverse-biasing of said first layer with respect to said second layer, this
reverse-biasing serving to increase the thickness of a depletion layer formed between the first
and second layers. This increase in thickness reduces the overall parasitic capacitance seen by
the inductor relative to the second layer and also reduces the magnitude of the currents induced
in the first and second layers by the inductor structure. A further depletion layer (26) may be
provided in the first layer adjacent the dielectric layer, corresponding further biasing means
being provided for the reverse-biasing of this layer with respect to the first layer. Normally,
the first layer will be an epitaxial layer and the second layer will be a substrate.

Abstract: An acoustic wave transducer useful in sonic logging while drilling a borehole includes an
array of transducer elements (20) mounted circumferentially around a drill collar (13). The elements (20) are
bonded in an elastomer ring (21) that is received in an external groove (22) in the collar (13) and are protected
by a shield (23) having windows (27). The elements (20) are electrically connected in parallel so that when
excited by an electrical pulse, the elements generate a monopole acoustic wave that propagates out
into the formation. When used as a receiver, the elements (20) detect averaged acoustic waves from
the formation around the circumference of the collar (13) and have minimum sensitivity to multipole
waves traveling through the drill collar.

Abstract: A bearing-upright unit (3) supporting a rotary hub (12) of
a vehicle wheel, wherein the bearing (2) has the inner ring (8)
fitted to the rotary hub of the wheel, and the outer
ring locked stably to the upright (3); and the outer ring (16)
has an asymmetrical tubular projection extending from
only one side of the outer ring, and which is
interference-fitted to the upright (3) and locked axially by
cold rolling the outer edge of the projection.
Advantages: assembly is simplified by involving fewer
operations; the outer ring is of simple design, small
size, and cheap to produce; the upright (3) may be of
simpler design, lighter in weight, and therefore cheaper
to produce; and, in the case of an aluminium upright,
the outer ring remains safely and firmly locked to the
upright at high temperature, by virtue of the greater
axial expansion of the upright with respect to the outer
ring compensating for any reduction in radial
interference.

Abstract: Wide-band speech signals and also music signals
are coded with relatively less computational efforts
and less sound quality deterioration even at low bit
rates. A spectral parameter calculator 200 obtains
a spectral parameter from sub-frames of input signal
from a sub-frame divider 120, and quantizes the
obtained spectral parameter. A divider 410 divides
the difference result from a subtractor 235 into a
plurality of sub-bands. Adaptive codebook circuits
300 obtain a pitch prediction signal by obtaining
pitch data in at least one of sub-bands. Judging
circuits 420 execute pitch prediction judgment by
using the pitch data in at least one of the
sub-bands. A synthesizer 430 synthesizes a pitch
prediction signal. A subtractor 230 subtracts the
pitch prediction signal from the difference result
from a subtractor 235 and thus obtains an excitation
signal. An excitation quantizer 350 quantizes the
excitation signal with reference to an excitation
codebook 355.

Abstract: An improved audio browser is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality
of hypertext links (hereafter called "hyperlink words") available from, for example, a World

These hyperlink words are read to the user in the ordinary course of the audio browser's
"speaking voice" -- such hyperlink words being identified to the user by, for example, a
change in voice characteristics for the "speaking voice." When a user wishes to select a
hyperlink word, the user merely repeats the hyperlink word itself, rather than speaking a
command or using a DTMF tone. The speech recognizer, which has as its vocabulary some
or all of the hyperlink words of the document, recognizes the spoken hyperlink word and
causes the jump to the linked address associated with the recognized hyperlink word.

Abstract: The fiberoptic block in accordance with the present
invention has an input end face constituted by a
combination of a plurality of surfaces each of which is
inclined at a slant angle α by which disturbing light
from within the air can be eliminated, whereby an
irregularity image with a high contrast can be emitted
as usual. Also, it has an output end face
perpendicular to the axis of each unit fiber.
Accordingly, when the output end face is butted against
and secured to an input face of a photodetector, the
irregularity image is made incident on the input face
of the photodetector so as to be substantially
perpendicular thereto, thus allowing a bright
irregularity image to be attained. Further, since this
fiberoptic block has a form extending from the output
end face in a direction perpendicular thereto, it can
be attached to the photodetector relatively easily with
a high precision.
