Abstract: A system for treating air for supply to an enclosed space in which it is to be breathed, comprises an inlet through which air can enter the system from atmosphere for supply to the enclosed space, and a regenerative adsorption assembly comprising at least two chambers which contain an adsorbent material, arranged so that air flowing in the inlet for supply to the enclosed space can pass through one of the chambers for adsorption of contaminants before supply to the enclosed space while adsorbent material in another of the chambers is purged of adsorbed contaminants. A recirculation path is provided for supplying air from the enclosed space to the inlet to be mixed with air from atmosphere before it is supplied to the enclosed space. The system includes means for adjusting the resistance to flow of air through the recirculation path according to the resistance that is provided to the flow of air from atmosphere into the enclosed space.

Abstract: This invention presents a voicing determination algorithm for classification of a speech signal segment as voiced or unvoiced. The algorithm is based on a normalised autocorrelation where the length of the window is proportional to the pitch period. The speech segment to be classified is further divided into a number of sub-segments, and the normalised autocorrelation is calculated for each sub-segment. If a certain number of the normalised autocorrelation values is above a predetermined threshold, the speech segment is classified as voiced. To improve the performance of the voicing determination algorithm in unvoiced to voiced transients, the normalised autocorrelations of the last sub-segments are emphasised. The performance of the voicing decision algorithm can be enhanced by utilising also the possible lookahead information. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method is provided for measuring real time ambient pressure at a region of interest in a fluid-filled body cavity by introducing into the cavity a composition of gas-containing microbubbles having a predetermined fragility threshold correlating to the rupture response of their capsules to the ambient fluid pressure and/or applied acoustic pressure. An ultrasonic signal is applied at the region of interest at a power level sufficient to destroy the microbubble population having a fragility threshold below the applied power level. The ultrasound backscatter response is detected from the population of intact and disintegrating microbubbles remaining at the region of interest and this backscatter signal is correlated to predetermined acoustic response properties to determine the ambient pressure at the region of interest.

Abstract: The invention concerns an installation comprising at least an extruder (1) for a melted organic polymer feeding a die (2) for producing a curtain of filaments (3); a cooling zone (4) for providing at least surface solidification of said extruded filaments; a suction device (5) in the form of a narrow chamber with rectangular cross-section, wherein the curtain of filaments is subjected to the action of high speed air streams causing the filaments to be drawn; means (6) for deflecting and slowing down the air flow at the outlet of the drawing slot and for distributing the filaments homogeneously on a receiving belt (7). The invention is characterised in that the means for producing the different operational phases, namely the extruding means, the cooling means, the filament drawing assembly and the distributing means, are separate from one another and can be individually adjusted, not only based on the production to be obtained (type of polymers, elementary yarn count of the filaments produced, weight per unit area of the web produced), but also at the beginning of production.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adhesion method for bonding a label to a container, in which initial adhesion is excellent and at least one mechanical compatibility selected from an application pattern on the label, easy control of a scraper, and prolongation of the scraper life is improved. An adhesion method for bonding a label to a container is provided, in which an aqueous adhesive for the label which comprises (A) casein and (B) thixotropy index regulator and has a thixotropy index (TI) of 0.5 to 0.8 is used. At least one resin selected from polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and acrylic resin, and wheat protein, soybean protein, denatured soybean protein, and starch are preferable as (B). The adhesion method is particularly suitable in a pallet transfer rotary labeler such as labeler manufactured by Krones Co., Ltd. Since the conventionally used suitable space, with which troubles hardly occur, is used as the space of the scraper, it is possible to bond the label to the container at a high speed.

Abstract: An outer door handle for vehicles has a stationary housing in the vehicle door. The handle has a handle arm and acts on a lock arranged within the door. A pivotable latching member serves as a mass latching mechanism and makes the handle actuatable in a release position. Because of its inertia in a crash situation, the latching member reaches an active support position and blocks the handle. The pivot bearing for the latching member is located on the stationary housing. The movable handle arm has a shoulder. A counter shoulder is provided on the latching member. The folding movement path of the shoulder on the handle arm is intersected by the pivot movement path of the counter shoulder. In a crash situation the shoulder comes to rest against the counter shoulder. In the release position, the shoulder passes the counter shoulder upon handle actuation.

Abstract: Sour gas containing hydrogen sulphide has hydrogen sulphide absorbed therefrom in an absorbent in a vessel 4. A hydrogen sulphide rich gas stream is formed by desorbing hydrogen sulphide from the absorbent in a vessel 12. The resulting hydrogen sulphide rich gas stream is partially burned in a furnace 32. Resulting sulphur dioxide reacts therein with residual hydrogen sulphide to form sulphur vapour which is extracted in a condenser 44. Residual sulphur dioxide and sulphur vapour are reduced to hydrogen sulphide in catalyst stage 54 of a reactor 50. Water vapour is removed from the resulting reduced gas stream by direct contact with water in a quench tower 60. At least part of the resulting water vapour depleted gas stream is sent to the vessel 4 with the incoming sour gas stream. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A screw motion-driven tensegrity antenna support architecture is configured to stably deploy and adjustably control an energy-focusing surface, such as an RF wave-reflecting conductive mesh. A parallel platform structure is configured of an upper hexagonal platform and a lower hexagonal base, the perimeter geometry of each of which is defined by plural interconnected tensioned ties. Vertices of the hexagonal tie base and the hexagonal upper tie platform are interconnected by pairs of legs, each including a compression strut and a tension tie. The stability of the structure requires that the sum of the tie tension forces matches the sum of the compression forces in the struts. To control deployment from a stowed condition and the geometric parameters of the deployed RF reflecting surface, a screw motion-based drive system is coupled to the struts to define relative mutual rotation and pitch between the upper platform and lower base.
