Abstract: Ein Verfahren zum Codieren eines zeitdiskreten Audiosignals liefert eine verlustlose Codierung. Ein zeitdiskretes Audiosignal wird in den Frequenzbereich transformiert. Nach einer Quantisierung des transformierten Audiosignals wird das quantisierte transformierte Audiosignal wieder requantisiert und in den Zeitbereich zurücktransformiert. Eine Differenz zwischen dem rücktransformierten Audiosignal und dem ursprünglichen Audiosignal wird gebildet, wonach diese Differenz mit einer vorgegebenen Fehlerschwelle (ε0) verglichen wird. Falls die Differenz größer als die Fehlerschwelle (ε0) ist, werden die vorbestimmte Quantisierungsschrittgröße verringert und die Schritte des Quantisierens, Requantisierens und Rücktransformierens unter Verwendung der verringerten Quantisierungsschrittgröße wiederholt. Anderenfalls wird das mit der durch die Iteration bestimmten Quantisierungsschrittgröße quantisierte transformierte Audiosignal Entropie-codiert. Die Differenz kann im Zeitbereich codiert werden und liefert zusammen mit den codierten Spektralwerten einen verlustlosen seriellen Bitstrom, der eine variable Datenrate aufweist. <IMAGE>

frame (20) in order to moveably support a press assembly (100), thereby permitting
height adjustment. Each of the lead screws (70A), (70B), (70C), (70D) has a timing
belt pulley or similar means (80A), (80B), (80C), (80D) for synchronous power
transmission disposed above the press mount (60) for driving the lead screws (70A),

Abstract: An open fiber safety interlock that disables the light transmitter whenever the
cable is disconnected or broken. In one embodiment, a cable containing an optical fiber
and an electrical conductor is coupled between a local receiver and a remote transmitter.
The remote transmitter transmits a light signal to the local receiver via the optical fiber.
The power for the remote transmitter is provided to the remote transmitter via the
electrical conductor from a local power supply. Disconnecting or breaking the cable
results in a loss ofpower to the transmitter, thereby halting any further light emissions.
Broadly speaking, the present invention contemplates a remote module which implements
an open fiber safety interlock. The remote module comprises a transmitter for
transmitting light through an optical fiber in a cable, where the cable includes an
electrical conductor. The transmitter is configured to transmit light when the cable is
coupled to the remote module and a voltage is applied to the electrical conductor. The
present invention further contemplates an open fiber safety interlock comprising an
electrical conductor, a transmitter, and a power supply. The electrical conductor is part of
a cable having an optical fiber for transporting a light beam. The transmitter is configured
to provide the light beam, and the power supply is coupled to power the transmitter via
the electrical conductor.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for stabilizing the flavour
a fermented malt beverage, most particularly a beer, by the addition of one or
more inhibitors, blockers, reducing agents or binding agents that inactivate one or
more Maillard reaction intermediates that induce staling of the flavour of fermented
malt beverages. In preferred such methods, the agents used are reductase
enzymes, especially aldehyde reductases, carbonyl reductases, aldose reductases,
oxoaldehyde reductases and most particularly oxidoreductases such as isozymes
of Old Yellow Enzyme ( e.g. , OYE1 and OYE2). The invention is also directed
to the fermented malt beverage prepared by such a method, and to use during
the brewing process of the reductase enzymes from naturally occuring sources,
including those produced by yeasts, to stabilize the flavour of the resulting beer
product and to produce a beer having a stable flavour. The intention also relates
to cells which have been specifically modified, selected, or genetically engineered
to express or secrete a reductase enzyme which may be used during the brewing
process to stabilize the flavour of the resulting beer product to produce a beer
having a stable flavour. The invention also provides fermented malt beverages
having enhanced flavour stability produced by these methods.

Abstract: When a spectrally spread additional information
signal, obtained by spectrum spreading additional
information such as an anti-duplication control signal or

the level of the spectrally spread additional information
signal is controlled according to the scatter of pixel

sensitivity of detecting additional information from the
spectrally spread additional information signal is
therefore improved, and the visual effect of the
spectrally spread additional information signal on a
reproduced image is suppressed.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the invention determines earth formation resistivity at extended
depths into the formation by the use of telemetry transmission signals to measure the formation
resistivity. The telemetry transmission signals carry measurement data from downhole sensors (78)
through the formation to an uphole receiver (80). The signal transmission is by means of induction
telemetry. At the receiver (80), the signal is demodulated to obtain the transmitted measurement data.
During the detection of the signal at the receiver, the signal amplitude is also extracted and is used
to determine the formation resistivity. In addition, changes in the signal amplitude are also used
to indicate formation boundaries for determining well location during directional drilling.
