Title: Method and system for operating audio encoders in parallel
Inventor: COWDERY JAMES STUART
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2006-03-23
Abstract: The time needed to encode an input audio stream is reduced by dividing the stream into two or more overlapping segments of audio information blocks, applying an encoding process to each segment to generate encoded segments in parallel, and appending the encoded segments to form an encoded output signal.  The encoding process is responsive to one or more control parameters. Some of the control parameters, which apply to a given block, are calculated from audio information in one or more previous blocks. The length of the overlap between adjacent segments is chosen such that the differences between control parameter values and corresponding reference values at the end of the overlap interval are small enough to avoid producing audible artifacts in a signal that is obtained by decoding the encoded output signal.

Inventor: SCHINGNITZ MANFRED
IPC: F23D1/00
Filed: 2008-05-08
Abstract: In the inventive burner for oxidant gasification of pulverized fuels under high pressures of e.g. 80 bar (8 MPa) and temperatures of e.g. 1200 to 1900 °C in reactors with liquid slag removal for oxygen gasification, the individual pulverized fuel supply tubes (4) in the burner are designed such that, while retaining the entry cross-sectional area of the tube, the cross-section makes a systematic transition to a curved rectangular duct (6) matched to the annulus. This means that fuel feeding ends immediately adjacent to the oxidant duct, and the flow rate provided in the feeding element is maintained up to the outlet, thereby ensuring trouble-free flow of the pulverized fuel and reducing the amount of inert gas required for purging the feeding element in the nonoperational state.

Title: Fermentation device comprising a coupled substrate and sediment transport mechanism and method for operating the fermentation device
Inventor: BUCHNER THOMAS
IPC: C12M1/113
Filed: 2006-11-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a fermentation device for the biological degradation of a substrate containing organic material and for the recovery of the biogas that is produced in the degradation process. To circulate the substrate in the fermentation device and simultaneously remove deposited sediment, mixing units with transversal shafts (11) are arranged one behind the other in the fermentation device, the distance between their axes being smaller than the mixing unit diameter. This permits the mixing impellers (7) of the mixing units to pass through an overlap region (13) as the mixing unit shafts (11) rotate. Any sediment that has been deposited on the floor of the fermentation device can thus be transported from the front end to the removal end of said device.
