Abstract: Frequency components are calculated from the STP-filtered speech signal. The amplitudes of these are combined in a manner such that the resultant values are associated with frequencies which are situated equidistantly on a linear Bark scale. Said components are quantised, possibly after scaling. In the decoder, the components are again distributed over the frequency spectrum. 
     In the coder, the fundamental regularity D is determined with an LTP technique, after which it is transmitted. In the decoder the phases of the reconstructed signal at the spacing D in the past are determined. These phases are combined with the amplitudes already present in the frequency spectrum, after which transformation back to the time domain takes place. Inverse STP filtering is then carried out.

Abstract: In an automated storage library (1), demount of data storage media may be permitted when all peripheral storage devices (4) in the library are occupied and one or more of such devices remains inactive for a predetermined time. Storage media may be demounted to carry out a mount request, provided that the peripheral storage devices in which the media are mounted are inactive. Even when no mount requests are pending, the status of the peripheral storage devices is continually monitored. If the peripheral storage devices are all occupied, and one or more of such devices remains inactive for the predetermined time, the least recently used storage medium is demounted and transferred to a storage cell in the library. Demount of storage media may also be permitted when one or more of the occupied peripheral storage devices remains inactive for a relatively long predetermined time. Storage media may be demounted to carry out a mount request, provided that the peripheral storage devices in which the media are mounted are inactive. A storage medium may also be demounted to create an unoccupied peripheral storage device, even though no mount request is pending, when all of the peripheral storage devices are occupied and one or more of such devices remains inactive for a relatively short predetermined time. Regardless of the existence of a pending mount request or of the occupancy status of the peripheral storage devices, the storage medium in each of the occupied peripheral storage devices remaining inactive for the relatively long predetermined time is demounted and transferred to a storage cell in the library. Thus, during long idle periods, the library will not continue to use the resources of inactive peripheral storage devices.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for determining the acoustic anisotropy of a sample (14) experiencing simulated in situ pressures and temperatures. A sample of the formation of interest is received by a compliant sleeve (36) disposed in a pressure chamber (22). The compliant sleeve houses a plurality of transducers (18) which are placed in intimate contact with the sample upon pressurization of the chamber. The transducers generate and receive acoustic pulses, the travel times of which through the sample are recorded to determine the anisotropic behaviour of the sample. The velocity variations of the sample can indicate the historical principal stress axes of the formation at depth.

Abstract: A method for protecting an object emitting IR radiation, particularly ships, against missiles equipped with intelligent IR homing heads is created. After the missile has been located, a large-area pyrotechnic cloud of interfering radiation is first generated adjacently to the object between the object and missile, which initially briefly emits a strong infrared radiation which interferes with the locking-on and tracking electronic of the homing head, and then emits a weak infrared radiation for a comparatively long period. Immediately after the strong radiation phase of the cloud of interfering radiation has ended, several decoy clouds are generated which then lead the missile away from the object to be protected step by step. The clouds of interfering radiation are generated by projectiles, the active mass of which consists of phosphorus flares and phosphorus granulate. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: By drying sludge in a drying plant of the drum type (1) a heating by means of a burner (2) is carried out. To ensure that the sludge may dry in a traditional rotary drier of the type, which e.g. is used for the manufacturing of green pellets, draining of the sludge to a dry matter content of approximately 15-35% is first carried out. The drained sludge (3) is subsequently mixed with an inflammable material (5) which has a dry matter content down to 30-40% in a mixer (4). Hereby, a crumbled composite product (6) is obtained which is conveyed to the drying drum (1) (at 10) in the immediate vicinity of the burner (2). Hereby, a substantially momentary evaporation of the water content is obtained and the composite product is conveyed pneumatically and mechanically through the drier (1), and may be separated in a cyclone (13), whereafter a grinding and pelletizing may be carried out in order to manufacture fuel pellets. These pellets may be burned together with coal in large combustion plants which are provided with smoke purifying equipment for removal of possible heavy metals.

Abstract: According to the invention it is possible to double the number of lines of a video signal in digital form, using a motion detector and a median filter developed for pixel interpolation, so that in a stationary picture area the odd field is formed of original odd and even linen placed alternating. The even field is formed of lines, of which each is obtained by interpolating two lines, of which one is an original odd line and the other line an original even line. In a moving picture area the odd field is formed of original odd lines and between each two original lines there is placed a new line obtained by interpolation from those two lines. The even field is formed by the original even lines and between each two adjacent original lines there is placed a new line obtained by interpolation. The method is particularly suited for converting a picture with 625 lines into a picture with 1250 lines retaining a good picture quality.

Abstract: Described is a method and means in which data and parity blocks forming parity groups together with spare blocks are distributed over array block locations according to at least one combinatorial design, each group having N data and P parity blocks. The combinatorial designs yield uniform or balanced loading thereby minimizing the number of accesses to reconstruct missing data and parity blocks and their copyback into spare block locations, and, minimize the number of accesses to the reconstructed data referenced subsequent to its copyback. Distributions of the spare block capacity of one or two DASDs are shown over single and multiple arrays and shared among multiple arrays. Parity block distribution although ancillary to spare distribution enhances throughput and reduces the number of accesses for rebuild etc.
