Title: Combination of a container and a safety cap therefor
Inventor: AKERS EDWARD G
IPC: B65D41/06
Filed: 1995-06-28
Abstract: The combination of a container and a safety cap therefor in which the safety cap has a closure plane and a circumferential outer skirt for engaging a container and has a circumferential resilient depending inner member. The container has a rigid wall having an end for engagement with the cap internally of the outer skirt. The wall is tapered from a smaller diameter portion adjacent the closure plane of the cap to a larger diameter portion remote from the closure plane of the cap. The tapered wall of the container engages internally the resilient inner member of the cap and the larger diameter portion of the wall expands the resilient inner member outwardly to provide a working seal of the container as well as a bias on the cap in a direction of removal of the cap. The combination also includes means disposed on the container remotely from the end of the rigid wall and cooperative means on the cap for preventing the cap from being removed from the container without depression of the cap on the container and rotation of the cap on the container. When the container is used as a bottle, the container preferably includes means for providing a tamper evident seal, whereby it will be obvious that the contents have been sealed with a material protecting the contents of the container. Any penetration of the seal prior to the removal and destruction of the seal by the user will be evidence of the lack of integrity of the contents of the container.

Patent AU-3694800-A (AU)
Title: Method of determining the voicing probability of speech signals
Inventor: YELDENER SUAT
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 2000-02-23
Abstract: A voicing probability determination method is provided for estimating a percentage of unvoiced and voiced energy for each harmonic within each of a plurality of bands of a speech signal spectrum. Initially, a synthetic speech spectrum is generated based on the assumption that speech is purely voiced. The original and synthetic speech spectra are then divided into plurality of bands. The synthetic and original speech spectra are compared harmonic by harmonic, and a voicing determination is made based on this comparison. In one embodiment, each harmonic of the original speech spectrum is assigned a voicing decision as either completely voiced or unvoiced by comparing the difference with an adaptive threshold. If the difference for each harmonic is less than the adaptive threshold, the corresponding harmonic is declared as voiced; otherwise the harmonic is declared as unvoiced. The voicing probability for each band is then computed based on the amount of energy in the voiced harmonics in that decision band. Alternatively, the voicing probability for each band is determined based on a signal to noise ratio for each of the bands which is determined based on the collective differences between the original and synthetic speech spectra within the band.

Title: Pump having dynamic shaft seal
Inventor: BERFIELD ROBERT C
IPC: F04D13/06
Filed: 2000-03-20
Abstract: A pump has a housing defining a pump chamber and having a shaft opening. An impeller shaft extends through the shaft opening and is sized to define a gap between the impeller shaft and the shaft opening. An impeller is attached to the shaft inside the pump chamber. The impeller includes a first set of impeller blades for transporting fluid through the pump chamber and a second set of impeller blades for creating a pressure force which pushes fluid away from the shaft opening. The pump with sealless shaft prevents fluid from leaking through the gap, and therefore is particularly suited for use in a tank-type vacuum cleaner capable of collecting both dry material and fluid. The gap is used in such an application to prime the pump, thereby discharging fluid collected in the tank.

Title: Device for producing short pulses by passive mode lock
Inventor: GLAS PETER
IPC: G02F1/35
Filed: 2000-03-24
Abstract: Conventional devices for producing very short laser pulses in which an optical medium as the laser source is arranged between two reflectors are provided with a reflector that is provided with semiconductor layers that absorb the incident laser beam depending on the intensity thereof. The aim of the invention is to provide such a device that is easy to produce and does not require a complicated adjustment. To this end, the optical non-linear reflector (2) consists of a refraction-controlled semiconductor layer (7) that has an intensity-depending refractive index and a highly refractive layer (8). A diaphragm (4) and a lens system that consists of at least two lenses (5, 6) is arranged in the beam path between the laser source (3) and the non-linear reflector (2). The distance (a) between the lens (6) and the refraction-controlled layer (7) of the non-linear refractor (2) is adjusted in such a manner that the resulting diameter (12) of the intensity distribution is larger for small intensities than the diameter of the diaphragm (4). The inventive device is easy to produce, can be integrated and easily adapted to different lasers. The inventive device can be used to compensate refractive effects since the refractive index increments for the refraction-controlled semiconductor layer (7) and the optical media (3, 5, 6) have opposite algebraic signs.
