Patent FI-925401-A (FI)
Inventor: TSUTSUI KYOYA
IPC: G11B20/00
Filed: 1992-11-27
Abstract: An apparatus for compressing a digital input signal compresses a digital input signal arranged into frames of plural samples. The digital input signal is orthogonally transformed by plural orthogonal transform circuits in blocks derived by dividing the frames by a different divisor in each circuit. The resulting spectral coefficients are quantized using an adaptive number of bits. The output of one orthogonal transform circuit is selected based on the outputs of the orthogonal transform circuits. The digital input signal is divided into plural frequency ranges, and frames are formed in each range. A block length decision circuit determines division of the frames of each range signal into blocks in response to range signal dynamics. The range signals are orthogonally transformed in blocks and the spectral coefficients are quantized. The apparatus also includes a frequency analyzing circuit that derives spectral data points from the input data, and groups them in plural bands. A noise level setting circuit finds the energy in each band and sets a allowable noise level in response to the band energy. A block floating coefficient calculating circuit calculates block floating coefficients based on the maximum spectral data point in each band. A quantizing bit number decision circuit determines the number of bits to use for quantizing in response to the allowable noise level and the block floating coefficients. A quantizing circuit quantizes the spectral data points in response to the quantizing bit number decision circuit.

Title: Separating conjugated aliphatic dienes from mono-olefinic compounds
IPC: C07C7/148
Filed: 1960-01-12
Abstract: Conjugated aliphatic dienes are separated from mono-olefinic compounds by contacting a liquid mixture containing them with diborane, which reacts selectively with the mono-olefinic compound, and separating the diene from the organoborane formed. Separation may be effected by distillation, if desired the organoborane being oxidised to form organiborate esters and possibly also hydrolysed to the corresponding alcohols.  The unsaturated compounds may be hydrocarbons or substituted with groups not attacked by the diborane, e.g. nitro, halo, ether oxygen, acid chloride or carboxylic acid ester groups, and may contain up to 30 carbon atoms.  The reaction may be effected at -30 DEG C. to 150 DEG C. at 1-50 atmospheres using 0.25-1.25 equivalent of diborane based on mono-olefine (1 mole diborane is equivalent to 6 moles of mono-olefine).  The diborane may be formed in situ. Preferably an open chain or cyclic, saturated ether is present in small amounts or as a diluent, e.g. tetrahydrofuran or the dimethyl or methyl ethyl ether of diethylene glycol; other diluents may be used, e.g. paraffinic or aromatic hydrocarbons or their nitro- or halogeno-derivatives, thioethers, and tertiary amines.

Abstract: 1,144,523. Recovering micro-organisms. ESSO RESEARCH & ENG. CO. Jan.9, 1967 [Jan.17, 1966], No.1212/67. Heading C6F. Micro-organisms are recovered from an aqueous medium containing them by admixing the aqueous medium and an immiscible organic liquid which preferentially wets the micro-organisms whereby there are formed an aqueous phase and an organic phase, and then recovering the microorganisms from the organic phase. The admixing is performed at a temperature of between 20‹ and 55‹C. for between 1 minute and 1 hour, employing an organic liquid of greater density and lower heat of vaporization than those for water, in volumetric ratios of organic liquid to aqueous medium ranging from 1 : 20 to 100 : 1. Organic Liquids: carbon disulphide, toluene and C 1  -C 4  aliphatic compounds halogenated by chlorine, bromine and/or fluorine, of which many are mentioned, particularly methylene chloride, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. (Acetone, ethanol and hexane are stated to be unsuitable; acetone and ethanol are miscible with water, while hexane does not preferentially wet the micro-organisms.) It is stated that, as a result of the admixing with the organic liquid, the microbial cells agglomerate and appear to form a stabilized precipitate in the nature of an emulsion within the organic liquid. Such an agglomeration aids the separation of cells produced by cultivation on hydro-carbons which are often of very small size e.g. less than 5 microns. The micro-organism cells are separated from the organic liquid by filtration, centrifugation, freezing flask technique or drum-, spray- or flash-drying. Certain examples are directed to the recovery of Micrococcus cerificans cells after their cultivation in an aqueous growth medium containing n-hexadecane and essential cell nutrients, employing methylene chloride at a temperature of 70‹ F. or 110‹ F.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of glass objects during the manufacturethereof
IPC: C03C17/34
Filed: 1964-01-13
Abstract: <PICT:1049922/C1/1> In a method of locally maintaining extended glass articles such as glass filaments, tubes or sheets, either wholly or in part, in a given atmosphere during the course of manufacture, liquid seals are provided, which do not substantially wet the glass at the temperatures involved. The liquid may be mercury, a molten metal or metal alloy, e.g. tin, or a molten metal oxide, e.g. vanadium or lead.  The atmosphere is preferably free from water vapour and may be used to isolate the glass from external atmosphere, to form a metallic deposit on the glass surface, or to exert some chemical action, such as de-alkalizing, to alter the surface properties. In the case of oxidizable metals the atmosphere is either inert or reducing.  In the production of glass filaments as described in Example 1 the filaments A (Fig. 1, not shown) formed at the bushing 1a pass through a chamber 8 which has a liquid seal of mercury 12 at the exit end. A dry inert gas (e.g. argon) is passed through drying tubes 15, 16 and distributer 14 into the chamber 8 and out through distributer 17.  This permits the glass filaments to cool without being attacked by water vapour.  In Example 2 a glass tube 22 is upwardly drawn through a series of interconnecting chambers 28, 33 provided with liquid seals 38, 39, 40 which may be heated.  In this example aerosols of stannic tetrachloride and chromylchloride in glacial acetic acid, the latter at temp. of 500 DEG  to 700 DEG  C., are caused to flow through the chambers 28 and 33 respectively to form, on the tube, coatings of stannic oxide followed by chromic oxide of definite thicknesses and electrical conductivity. In Example 3 a glass sheet 41 (Fig. 3, not shown) is passed over a bed of graphite and is supported thereon by strips 43 of liquid in troughs 44.  The strips 43 of liquid form seals and define isolated zones into which gases may be passed, say two alternately, for building up on the lower face of the sheet a series of superimposed coatings to form an interference filter.
