Abstract: A speech coding device capable of delivering a speech signal of excellent sound quality at a low bit rate is disclosed.  The disclosed device is character-ized by a method of calculating lag corresponding to pitch period and a speech signal coding method.  Lag is calculated as follows:  A speech signal is divided into frames; one frame is divided into a plurality of subframes; for each frame, subframes in which lag of a speech signal is expressed in the form of a differen-tial relative to lag of a previous subframe and subframes in which lag is expressed in the form of an absolute value, i.e., the lag value itself, are estab-lished; a plurality of bit allocation patterns are established for each frame that allocate bits for expressing lag as an absolute value or a differential in each of the plurality of subframes; for each bit allocation pattern, pitch predictive distortion is calculated for every subframe; accumulated distortion is calculated by accumulating the pitch predictive distortion over a predetermined plurality of subframes in the frame; a bit allocation pattern is selected so as to minimize the accumulated distortion.  The lags in the subframes of the selected pattern are determined as the lags in the subframes of interest.

Title: Mwd surface signal detector having bypass loop acoustic detection means
Inventor: CHIN WILSON CHUNG-LING
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1995-08-16
Granted: 2006-10-17
Abstract: An acoustic detector in a mud pulse telemetry system includes a bypass loop in parallel with a section of the main mud line that supplies drilling mud to a drill string. The detector includes a pair of pressure sensing pons in the bypass line, and one or more pressure transducers for detecting the pressure at different locations in the bypass loop so that the differential pressure can be measured. The bypass loop has a small internal passageway relative to the main mud supply line and may include a constriction so as to create two regions in the passageway that differ in cross sectional areas. Forming the pressure sensing ports in the regions of differing cross sectional areas allows the pressure transducers to more precisely detect the mud pulse signals. Because of its relatively small cross sectional area, only a small fraction of the drilling mud flows through the bypass loop. The bypass loop may thus be constructed of hydraulic hose and a relatively small rigid body having a central through bore.

Title: Apparatus and method for replenishing laser dye solution
Inventor: FURUMOTO HORACE W
IPC: H01S3/213
Filed: 1994-07-27
Granted: 2005-05-10
Abstract: In a dye laser system, a porous bed filter (40) is loaded with dye prior to operation of the system. With repeated firings, the dye solution is filtered by the porous bed filter (40) to remove by-products of the laser process. Solute concentration is monitored (52) and dye and additives removed by the filter (40) are replenished by a metering pump (42). Precise temperature control (56) assures consistent filtering of dye by the filter (40) for more consistent color and energy output. To control (48) the metering pump (42), the differential output of a two-channel absorption detector (68, 70) is digitized (76). The digitized signal is loaded into a counter (78) which drives the metering pump (42). The useful lifetime of the dye solution is enhanced by incorporating pH buffers in die solution.

Abstract: An electrical switch with ovecurrent protection communicates as a slave with a remote master station by sending return messages to the remote master station only in response to messages addressed to it. A portable unit plugs into the electrical switch and disables communications between the electrical switch and the remote master station. The portable unit then establishes communications with the electrical switch by sending a global message to the electrical switch requesting the unique address at successive baud rates until a return message containing the electrical switches' address is received. A communications module in the electrical switch transfers to a master mode in response to the global message in order to send the return message, containing its unique address. It then reverts to the slave mode for response to subsequent messages from the portable unit containing the unique address. Either the remote master station or the portable unit can test the circuit breaker by sending a message containing a digital test current to the circuit breaker.

Granted: 1999-08-31
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif d'accès aux compteurs d'un client et de vérification des équipements client par ligne téléphonique. L'établissement de connexion utilise une tension impulsionnelle de sonnerie distinctive et brève. Dans un autre cas, la production d'une tonalité sur une ligne client entre un bureau central et un équipement de station client sert à avertir le client et l'équipement client. Dans un dernier cas, une brève impulsion de bruiteur sert à avertir l'équipement client. La connexion est établie entre, d'une part un dispositif d'accès à des données tel qu'un contrôleur de relevé de compteur, et d'autre part un dispositif client tel qu'une interface de lecture de compteur. Les échanges de signaux se font par la connexion entre ces deux unités sans qu'un signal de sonnerie en avertisse le client, et sans que l'état de rétro-signalisation de l'équipement de station client quitte la position "raccroché". La connexion peut également servir à commander des dispositifs tels que des climatiseurs, afin d'éviter par exemple une surcharge du système de distribution électrique. Le réseau de commutation vocal du bureau central permet d'établir la connexion entre le contrôleur de compteur et l'interface compteur. Ce concept présente l'avantage de permettre l'accès à distance à un grand nombre de compteurs et de dispositifs à gérer, et cela, en utilisant le système téléphonique existant. La courte impulsion de tension de sonnerie ou de bruiteur peut servir à avertir le dispositif installé chez le client, le téléphone du client, ou les deux.

Abstract: A device for controlling mice and other rodents includes a tubular housing having an opened rear end, a closed front end and a  spring  element  for  selectively closing the rear  end.   The housing is mounted at an inclined angle relative to a supporting platform which  opposes  the  force  of  the  spring  element  and maintains the rear end of the housing in its opened position when the housing is mounted on the supporting platform.  An attractant induces mice or other rodents into the housing which, as a result of the weight of the rodent, pivots relative to the supporting platform  resulting  in  disengagement  of the  rear  end  of  the housing and the supporting platform.   Upon disengagement,  the spring element closes the rear end of the housing entrapping the rodent therein.  Breathing openings covered by a removable seal can be provided in the housing to dispose of the trapped rodent in a living state.

Abstract: A method and apparatus allows for simple correction of resctricted spinal motion. The clinician applies a uniform low energy diagnostic impulse to each vertebral segment of interest (640) and the resulting force waveform is recorded.  The force wavefroms of each diagnostic impulse are compared to determine the relative compliance of each vertebral segment. The clinician then selects the vertebral segment to be adjusted (655) on the basis of identification of fixated or hypo-mobile segments and high compliance or hyper-mobile segments. The last step may or may not include comparison of the post adjustment compliance of the spinal system under analysis (515) with the compliance before adjustments were performed on the spine.
