Title: Method of making reactive multilayer foil and resulting product
Inventor: WIEHS TIMOTHY P
IPC: F24V30/00
Filed: 2001-05-01
Abstract: In accordance with the inven-tion a reactive multilayer foil is fabricated by providing an assembly (stack or multilayer) of reactive layers, inserting the assembly into a jacket, deforming the jacketed assembly to reduce its cross sectional area, flattening the jacketed assembly into a sheet, and then re-moving the jacket. Advantageously, the as-sembly is wound into a cylinder before inser-tion into the jacket, and the jacketed assembly is cooled to a temperature below 100 °C  dur-ing deforming. The resulting multilayer foil is advantageous as a freestanding reactive foil for use in bonding, ignition or propulsion.

IPC: G01N23/20
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: A noncontact physical property measurement instrument which easily and accurately measures physical properties of an object using a nondestructive, noncontact sensor. A noncontact physical property measurement instrument 1 is provided with a transmitting section 21 and a receiving section 22. The transmitting section 21 sends a wave to an object 41 in a medium 100, and the receiving section 22 receives a wave reflected from the object 41 and the surface of a coating 42. Both the transmitting section 21 and the receiving section 22 are connected to a gain change correction circuit 13 to form a self-excited oscillating circuit 11 serving as a feedback loop. The gain change correction circuit 13 corrects the gain to the increase side according to a phase difference between the sent wave and the reflected wave, to thereby measure any changes due to a difference in physical properties of the object 41.

Title: A method of ensuring flatness of a vane in a headbox by means of a mounting arrangement, headbox with such a mounting arrangement and mounting arrangement therefor
Inventor: NORRMAN JOAKIM
IPC: D21F1/02
Filed: 2001-06-18
Abstract: A method of ensuring the flatness of a vane (14) that is mounted in a headbox by means of a mounting arrangement including engagement dowels (22) for cooperation with a downstream support wall (25) of a transverse groove (20), said vane being affected during operation by shearing forces from the stock and by retaining forces from the mounting arrangement. In accordance with the invention outer engagement dowels are mounted at the side edges (31, 32) of the vane to cooperate during a specific period of time, as the only engagement dowels (22a), with the downstream support wall in order to take up said shearing forces, whereby tensile stresses will arise in the downstream end portion (33) of the vane in the cross machine direction. The invention also relates to a headbox having such a mounting arrangement and the mounting arrangement per se in which the vane within and downstream of an inner area (35) of the upstream end portion (21) of the vane is arranged to move freely in the machine direction in relation to said downstream support wall during said period of time.

Inventor: JOHN MICHAEL SASHA
IPC: A61B5/12
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for assessing a subject's hearing by recording steady-state auditory evoked responses. The apparatus generates a steady-state auditory evoked potential stimulus, presents the stimulus to the subject, senses potentials while simultaneously presenting the stimulus and determines whether the sensed potentials contain responses to the stimulus. The stimulus may include an optimum vector combined amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal adjusted to evoke responses with increased amplitudes, an independent amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal and a signal whose envelope is modulated by an exponential modulation signal. The apparatus is also adapted to reduce noise in the sensed potentials by employing sample weighted averaging. The apparatus is also adapted to detect responses in the sensed potentials via the Phase weighted T-test or Phase zone technique. The apparatus may further perform a number of objective audiological tests including latency tests, AM/FM discrimination tests, rate sensitivity tests, aided hearing tests, depth sensitivity tests, supra-threshold tests and auditory threshold tests. The apparatus is further adapted to perform multi-modality testing in which more than one sensory modality of the subject is tested simultaneously.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, on cherche à réduire le temps de latence du codeur imputable à la position du mot de code, à cet effet, on évite d'avoir à connaître le message avant de produire le mot de code de détection ou de dissimulation d'erreur associé au message. On introduit un mot de code de détection ou de dissimulation d'une pseudo erreur à la place du mot de code de détection ou de dissimulation d'une erreur normale qui convient au segment d'informations auquel le mot de code de détection ou de dissimulation d'erreur correspond. Afin de satisfaire les exigences des décodeurs traditionnels, les informations de détection ou de dissimulation d'une pseudo erreur doivent coïncider ou convenir au segment afin que le décodeur voie le mot de code et le segment de message comme étant valide ou sans erreur. On y parvient en modifiant ou en interférant au moins une partie du segment auquel le pseudo mot de code correspond. L'invention est particulièrement utile dans la conservation de la rétrocompatibilité des formats de codage de données audio dans lesquels une latence minimum est trop longue (à savoir, les jeux informatisés, dans lesquels le joueur exécute certaines opérations entraînant un son, lequel ne doit pas être retardé de manière perceptible par rapport à l'opération).
