Abstract: In a communications network, a signal enhancement function, such as boosting the level of speech signals in the bassband (100 Hz - 300 Hz) is carried out by function processors (306) at various points in the network. To make sure that the enhancement function is carried out only once for any given signal, a signalling link, such as a 20 Hz subsonic signal, is added to the signal (308) downstream of the function processor. An incoming signal is passed through the function processor only if the signalling link is not detected in it (302,304).

Abstract: A bonding tool (40) has a head portion (45) which consists essentially of vapor-deposited diamond, wherein a principal diamond crystal plane forming a head face (47) is a (111) plane. Such a head face has high hardness, and is hard to wear. In order to improve toughness of a bonding head which is mainly made of vapor-deposited diamond, a portion forming a head face consists essentially of high-purity diamond, and another portion supporting the head face consists essentially of low-purity diamond. The head face has high rigidity, while the portion supporting the head face has high toughness. In order to provide a bonding head portion which is mainly made of vapor-deposited diamond with electrical conductivity, a portion forming a head face consists essentially of polycrystalline diamond containing a relatively small amount of dopant, and another portion supporting this portion contains a large amount of dopant. The head portion having electrical conductivity can be heated by energization. In a tool employing a coating containing vapor-deposited diamond as a bonding head portion, the coating is formed by a complex of a metal or ceramics and vapor-deposited diamond, in order to improve strength of the coating and adhesion to a tool substrate. The metal or ceramics is closer in thermal expansion coefficient to the tool substrate than the diamond.

Abstract: The hitherto conventional standard method of direct field application of liquid manure and slurry is burdened with a number of disadvantages such as primarily environmental pollution in the form of odour emissions, giving off ammonia gas and nitrate seepage, as well as high capital expense for the storage and application technology. In the case of domestic sewage (effluents), collection in central sewage treatment plants causes high costs with unsolved disposal problems for the residues. The novel composting process according to the invention is intended to overcome these disadvantages and to be an economically profitable alternative. Slurry, liquid manure and sewage are pumped from a collection pit or vessel (1.0 in the figure) into a fermentation and drying tower (2.0), directly after their production and are discharged centrally above the transport pallet (2.2) filled with wheat straw. The thin slurry dripping off with evaporation of water and leaving behind coarse components is withdrawn via a drain (3.1), incorporated in the floor, into the filtrate vessel (3.0). From there, it is forced via a suction and pressure pump (3.3) to a spray nozzle in the upper tower part (2.3). The spray drops descending in the ascending air stream release water, moisten the compost pallet with their residual water content and return as excess into the filtrate circulation. The ascending air stream escapes (2.4) at the roof via a demisting orifice. The air intake for oxygen supply and drying proceeds from a solar warm air collector (4.0). The result is a compost which is further dried in the tower to below 30% residual water content for loss-free storage. The process is suitable for all animal husbandry businesses and households in an isolated situation instead of conventional disposal methods; because of its low capital expenditure, it is especially suitable also for small-scale businesses. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microvacuum sensor with expanded sensitivity range, having a thin, thermally poorly conducting diaphragm (3) which is stretched out freely on a semiconductor crystal, and having a thin metallic heating layer, preferably made of aluminium, which is arranged on the diaphragm. In this arrangement, the diaphragm surface is suspended on one or more webs of the diaphragm material or of a material of lower thermal conductivity and preferably of the thickness of the diaphragm or of lower thickness. For sensor structures having a web connection of the heater (8) to the bonding surfaces (15, 16) from one or two opposite side centres along a centre line of the sensor, the condition l = c/2 is realised as optimum dimensioning, where c is the side length of the diaphragm region and l is essentially the differential length between c and the heater side length in the direction of c and, in the case of sensor structures in which the web connection of the heater to the bonding surfaces is carried out along a diagonal of the sensor or in which a diaphragm which is in contact on all sides without a web suspension is used, the condition l = c/6 is realised as optimum dimensioning. Furthermore, the heating layer has a very low emission capacity 0.1 in the near IR range. Arranged on the sensor chip, in the region of the solid silicon, is a thin-film resistor having the same temperature coefficient as the metallic heating layer, in order to compensate temperature fluctuations. Arranged parallel to the surfaces of the diaphragm (3) are elements (4, 17) having a flat and silvered wall at a distance of 5  mu m from the diaphragm, said elements acting as a heat sink with respect to the diaphragm (3). Gas from the environment of the sensor can circulate freely between the diaphragm and the wall surfaces. <IMAGE>
