Title: Method and apparatus for testing soil
Inventor: HENKE ROBERT
IPC: E02D1/02
Filed: 1985-02-28
Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing soil involves a probe with an inner cylinder insertable into the sample to be tested and rotatable through a limited arc of rotation. The inner cylinder may be rotated by an impulse, from an initial condition or by an oscillatory motion. An outer cylinder may be provided concentric to the inner cylinder and spaced therefrom to facilitate the measurement of liquefaction resistance and soil degradation. A motion sensor mounted on the inner cylinder enables the recording of the response of the cylinder and the soil to a particular rotary excitation. A shield may be provided about the upper end of the inner cylinder in order to allow measurements to be obtained from a region sufficiently below the surface of the soil so as to be relatively free from surface effects. A surface compression unit may be provided between the inner and outer cylinders which is operable to supply a pressure to compensate for the loss of overburden in downhole applications. The surface compression unit may also apply a rotating shear force to smooth the soil surface so that the pressure applied by the unit is uniform.

Title: Signal noise reduction by spectral subtraction using linear convolution and causal filtering
Inventor: GUSTAFSSON HARALD
IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 1999-05-27
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing speech enhancement in noise reduction systems include spectral subtraction algorithms using linear convolution, causal filtering and/or spectrum dependent exponential averaging of the spectral subtraction gain function. According to exemplary embodiments, low order spectrum estimates are developed which have less frequency resolution and reduced variance as compared to spectrum estimates in conventional spectral subtraction systems. The low order spectra are used to form a gain function having a desired low variance which in turn reduces musical tones in the spectral subtraction output signal. Advantageously, the gain function can be further smoothed across blocks using input spectrum dependent exponential averaging. Additionally, the low order of the gain function permits a phase to be added during interpolation so that the spectral subtraction gain filter is causal and prevents discontinuities between blocks.

Title: Degradable poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels with controlled half-life and precursors therefor
Inventor: HARRIS J MILTON
IPC: C08G65/329
Filed: 1998-01-23
Abstract: This invention relates to hydrolytically degradable gels of crosslinked poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) structures. Addition of water causes these crosslinked structures to swell and become hydrogels. The hydrogels can be prepared by reacting two different PEG derivatives containing functional moieties at the chain ends that react with each other to form new covalent linkages between polymer chains. The PEG derivatives are chosen to provide covalent linkages within the crosslinked structure that are hydrolytically degradable. Hydrolytic degradation can provide for dissolution of the gel components and for controlled release of trapped molecules, including drugs. Reagents other than PEG can be avoided. The hydrolysis rates can be controlled by varying atoms adjacent to the hydrolytically degradable functional groups to provide substantially precise control for drug delivery in vivo.

Title: Intraocular lens folder
Inventor: NOY STEPHEN J VAN
IPC: A61F9/007
Filed: 1994-01-18
Abstract: An intraocular lens folder having a generally planar, open frame in the shape of a rounded "A" with a rimmed, open head at the top of the "A." The base of the "A" forms a pair of opposing legs or handles that join to form a hinge at the crotch where the handles attach to the head. The hinge allows the handles to be squeezed together and yet spring apart when released. Squeezing the handles causes the top edge of the head rim to compress and move toward the hinge. The open head contains a plurality of projections terminating in open, relieved jaws into which the IOL is placed. The location of the projections is such that when the handles are squeezed together and the rim moves toward the hinge, two of the jaws moves toward each other, causing the IOL to be folded in half.
