Abstract: The present invention relates to an acoustic signal
processor, and provides a device which allows processing of
acoustic signals such that acoustic information can be
easily heard and accurately understood by individuals with
or without hearing impairment. The acoustic signal
processor comprises a peak detection circuit group (4) for
determining a frequency band having the highest energy level
out of the frequency bands constituting the inputted
acoustic signals, and a variable equalizer(7) which maintains
the energy level roughly at a constant level for the
frequency bands lower than the frequency band determined by
peak detection circuit group (4), and increases the
amplification degree of the energy level as the frequency
increases for the frequency bands higher than the frequency
band determined by the peak detection circuit group(4)

Abstract: A prosthetic implant having a tissue scaffold and a fixation device
with a scaffold support and an anchoring post. The anchoring post extends from
a surface of the scaffold support at a selected angle with the scaffold support
embedded within the scaffold. The scaffold has a porous ceramic phase and a
porous polymer phase. The polymer is foamed while in solution that is infused in
the pores of the ceramic to create a interphase junction of interlocked porous
materials and embedding the scaffold support portion of the fixation device. The
preferred method for foaming is by lyophilization. The scaffold may be infused or
coated with a variety of bioactive materials to induce ingrowth or to release a
medicament. The mutilayered porous scaffold can mimic the morphology of an
injured tissue junction with a gradient morphology and cell composition.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to reduce the number of colors painted
on the electrical cables (W) wired in an automobile. The unitary wire
harness (W/H-1 to W/H-6) containing the greatest number of electrical
cables is taken as critical harness. The critical number of different color
markings is then determined from the following formula:
 R=A/B+C/B 
   wherein A is the number of electrical cables contained in the critical
unitary wire harnesses, B is the number of connectors (10) to be engaged
with the critical unitary wire harness, and C is the number of terminal
receiving means (a, b, c, etc.) contained in all of the connectors (10). The
critical number of cable colors thus obtained allows the reduction of the
number of distinguishing cable colors, and the electrical cables (W) of the
same cable color can be differentiated when they are connected to a
connector (10).
