Title: Audio compressor, expander, and noise reduction circuits for consumer and semi-professional use
IPC: H03G9/00
Filed: 1990-04-03
Granted: 1993-04-22
Abstract: Three related embodiments of audio signal dynamic range circuits for consumer and semi-professional audio signal compressors, expanders, and compressor/expander noise reduction systems incorporate certain basic features of professional Spectral Recording (SR) while adapting SR for use with consumer recording media (particularly audio cassette tape) and reducing the cost and complexity of the SR circuitry. In addition, the three embodiments, and particularly the preferred embodiment, provide substantial compatibility with the existing B-type and C-type consumer and semi-professional noise reduction systems. Subjective performance substantially equivalent to 16-bit PCM audio systems is achieved with analog audio cassette tape media. In all three embodiments there are two cascaded stages: (1) a high-level stage a high-frequency fixed-band/sliding band action-substitution sub-stage (324A) and a low-frequency fixed-band sub-stage (328A) and (2) a low-level stage having only a high-frequency fixed-band/sliding band action-substitution sub-stage (326A). The dynamic action regions of the high-frequency action-substitution sub-stages are staggered. Each of the high-frequency sub-stages provides up to 12 dB of dynamic action (together providing up to 24 dB of dynamic action) and operates in a frequency band defined by a single-pole filter having a high-pass shelving response with a corner frequency of 400 Hz. The low-frequency sub-stage provides up to 10 dB of dynamic action and operates in a frequency band defined buy a single-pole filter having a low-pass shelving response with a corner frequency of 200 Hz. The single-pole filter characterisctics provide a broad and smooth overlap of the high-frequency and low-frequency characteristics. Particular forms of spectral skewing and antisaturation enhance the performance of the circuits with consumer recording media.

Title: Heater element for use in an situ thermal desorption soil remediation system
Inventor: VINEGAR HAROLD J
IPC: H05B3/03
Filed: 2001-04-17
Granted: 2004-07-01
Abstract: An in situ thermal desorption (ISTD) soil remediation system may be used to remove or reduce contamination within soil. Heat may be transferred to the soil from resistively heated, bare metal heater elements. The heater elements may be placed directly within the soil. Alternately, the heater elements may be suspended within casings. The heater elements may be conductive heaters, or the heater elements may be radiative heater elements. The ISTD soil remediation system may include temperature-resistant, chemical resistant, flexible conduits that transport off-gas removed from the ground to a treatment facility. A residence time of off-gas within the conduits may be sufficient to allow the off-gas to cool so that the off-gas may pass to a treatment facility through a manifold and piping made of polymeric material.</PTEXT>

Title: Electrically controlled release device
Inventor: POST ROGER
IPC: E21B17/02
Filed: 2001-08-14
Granted: 2003-07-17
Abstract: A cable release apparatus includes a housing and latch mounted at one end of the housing. The latch has a central opening and a plurality of projecting members extending into the housing. A releasable connector is mounted inside the housing. An actuator has one end disposed in the central opening in the latch and another end in contact with the releasable connector.

Title: Method of producing an elastomer blend that is similar to thermoplastic elastomers, on the basis of reclaimed rubber or waste rubber
Inventor: MICHAEL HANNES
IPC: C08J11/00
Filed: 2000-05-17
Granted: 2002-08-08
Abstract: An elastomer blend that is similar to thermoplastic elastomers is produced from powered reclaimed rubber or waste rubber. The powdered rubber is processed to compounds by subjecting it to a melt-mixing process in a mixer together with a thermoplastic material and at least one stabilizer. A mixture that consists of two phases that are usualy incompatible, namely the powdered rubber and a thermoplastic material, is processed to a blend that is characterized by the properties of the rmoplastic elastomers. To this end, at least one polypropylene copolymer or a mixture thereof with at least one polypropylene type is melted in the mixer and powered rubber, at least part of which has been pre-swelled in a radical donor, is dosed to the melt. The powered rubber is dispersed in the plastic matrix by applying high shearing strains and admixing radical-forming agents in order to couple the two phase.
