Abstract: An improved, air tight valve seat for a pneumatic brake system is achieved by using a plastic valve seat that is coined by the valve member. The valve member is a harder material, for example metal, than the thermo-plastic valve seat. The valve member is brought to an elevated temperature less than the melting point of the valve seat. The valve member engages the valve seat, coining the desired surface of the valve seat to conform it to the valve member. The heated valve member then remains in the valve assembly after coining.

Abstract: A method for calculating the amplication factor, which co-determines the volume, for a speech signal transmitted in encoded form includes dividing the speech signal into short temporal signal segments. The individual signal segments are encoded and transmitted separately from each other, and the amplication factor for each signal segment is calculated, transmitted and used by the decoder to reconstruct the signal. The amplication factor is determined by minimizing the value E(g_opt2)=(1-a)*f<SUB>1</SUB>(g_opt2)+a*f<SUB>2</SUB>(g_opt2), the weighting factor a being determined taking into account both the periodicity and the stationarity of the encoded speech signal.

Abstract: A repeater employs multiple threshold detectors to distinguish between signals from external devices and signals generated within the repeater. Signals that are sent from the repeater are configured to be between two threshold levels, so that a detector at one threshold level will detect an active signal, but the detector at the other threshold level will not detect an active signal. When an external signal is received on one side (A) of the repeater, it is propagated to the other side (B) of the repeater, and at the same time, the other side (B) of the repeater is configured to only propagate external signals back to the first side (A). In this manner, the internally generated signal from one side (A) is not propagated back to the same side (A), and a latch-up is avoided. In like manner, when an external signal is received at the other side (B), the first side (A) of the repeater is configured to propagate only externally generated signals. If both sides of the repeater are externally driven, the active signal is propagated to both sides of the repeater, thereby emulating the response that would be provided by a wired bus without a repeater. The repeater is particularly well suited for an I2C bus architecture.
