Abstract: A process is claimed for the prodn. of multi-surfaced formed bodies consisting at least mainly of carbon fibres (CF) derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based starting material. The process comprises heating the corresp. body made of PAN fibres to 180-320 degrees C to convert the PAN into the infusible uncarbonised form and then passing gas contg. an oxygen-releasing substance through the body for 0.5-10 h, in amts. which are controlled so as to (a) maintain the necessary temp. for the chemical reactions required for thermal stabilisation of the fibres and (b) avoid overheating and consequent damage to the fibres. Also claimed are (i) formed bodies made of carbon fibres, obtd. by this process, and (ii) an appts. for the continuous thermal treatment of the above formed bodies made of PAN fibres.

The equalizer circuit (11) includes an adaptation circuit (16) coupled to an FIR filter (17) and to an error sign generating circuit (18). The FIR filter (17) provides the signs of a plurality of delay signals to the tap weight adaptation circuit (16). Likewise, the error sign generating circuit (18) provides a sign of the error of an output signal of the FIR filter (17) to the tap weight adaptation circuit (16). The tap weight adaptation circuit (16) uses the signs of the delay signals and the sign of the error signal to generate the tap weights which are passed to the FIR filter (17) for adjusting the tap weights of the FIR filter (17).

Abstract: A transfer switch system includes a controller which sends separately timed restart signals over a communications network to an addressable relay associated with each load in order to sequentially restart the loads following a transfer. When the loads are elevators, the controller sends a prepare to transfer signal to each elevator through the associated addressable relay directing the elevator to park at a floor with its doors open and delays making a discretionary transfer until all elevators send a reply message over the network that they are appropriately parked. A message from the utility directing a reduction in use of their power can be sent to the controller over the communications network through an additional remote station. The controller can then transfer to the alternate power source and/or send messages to selected loads to shut down.

Abstract: A method for reducing noise in a speech signal is provided for restraining suppression of a predetermined band when an input speech signal has a large pitch strength. The noise reduction method is executed by the apparatus having a signal characteristic calculating unit, an adj calculating unit 32, a CE and NR value calculating unit, a Hn value calculating unit, and a spectrum correcting unit as main components. The signal characteristic calculating unit derives a pitch strength of the input speech signal. The adj calculating unit derives an adj value according to the pitch strength. The CE and NR value calculating unit derives an NR value according to the pitch strength. Then, the Hn value calculating unit derives the Hn value according to the NR value and set a noise suppression rate of the input speech signal. The spectrum correcting unit 10 reduces the noise of the input speech signal based on the noise suppression rate.

Les coordonnées de localisation des objets recherchés sont mises en mémoire et des images supplémentaires de objets cellulaires candidats sont acquises avec un fort grossissement. Les images à fort grossissement sont analysées de la même manière que les images à faible grossissement pour confirmer que les objets candidats recherchés sont bien des objets recherchés. Une image à fort grossissement de chaque objet recherché confirmé est stockée pour qu'un pathologiste puisse ensuite la revoir et l'évaluer.

Abstract: The method involves casting a support body from light metal alloy in a mould (1). The support body has an annular layer (11,12) of metal ceramic compound material on one or both sides, which has a friction surface for a brake caliper. The molten masses of the support body material and the layer material are cast one on the other in the mould on a time-delayed basis. The first cast molten mass, or at least its upper surface area, is hot enough on hardening to form a gradient structure in the transition area of the two materials. The first cast molten mass is cooled to a temperature between the casting temperature and 100 degrees C. The inlay is prefabricated from the material of the annular layer. The inlay is placed in the mould and is cast around by the molten mass of the support body material. At least the area of the inlay coming into contact with the molten mass of the support body material is heated so that a gradient structure is formed in the transition area of the materials.
