Title: Transfer of shear-thinning slurries.
Inventor: PARADIS RONALD
IPC: B01D21/24
Filed: 2001-09-05
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for removing a slurry having shear-thinning visco-plastic rheological properties from a reservoir containing a body of the slurry of such high viscosity that removal is impractical by conventional means, such as gravity flow or suction. The method comprises creating a flow of shear-thinned slurry in a submerged region of the body of slurry to entrain adjacent slurry of high viscosity, and then transferring some of the reduced viscosity slurry from the reservoir. The flow of shear-thinned slurry may be produced by withdrawing slurry from an outlet point in a region of the body of slurry to create a flow of withdrawn slurry, subjecting the flow of withdrawn slurry to shear conditions to form a withdrawn slurry of reduced apparent viscosity, and introducing the withdrawn slurry of reduced apparent viscosity into the region of the body at an inlet point therein spaced from the outlet point, the inlet and outlet points in the region being positioned relative to each other to create a flow or stream of slurry of reduced apparent viscosity through the region carrying therewith slurry of higher viscosity, and removing some of the slurry withdrawn from the region permanently from the reservoir. The apparatus provides conduits and a shear-generating device communicating with the reservoir and an outlet conduit for slurry permanently withdrawn from the reservoir.

Abstract: A method for use by a speech decoder in handling bad frames received over a communications channel a method in which the effects of bad frames are concealed by replacing the values of the spectral parameters of the bad frames (a bad frame being either a corrupted frame or a lost frame) with values based on an at least partly adaptive mean of recently received good frames, but in case of a corrupted frame (as opposed to a lost frame), using the bad frame itself if the bad frame meets a predetermined criterion. The aim of concealment is to find the most suitable parameters for the bad frame so that subjective quality of the synthesized speech is as high as possible.

Title: Injection device

Abstract: The invention concerns an injection device with a housing adapted to receive a syringe having a discharge nozzle and a plunger. There is a trigger and a drive arranged to act upon the plunger on actuation of the trigger to advance the syringe from a retracted position to an extended position through an opening in the housing. A locking mechanism is arranged in and moveable relative to the housing. The locking mechanism is engaged with the plunger when the syringe is not in its extended position and disengaged from the plunger when the syringe is in its extended position. This means that movement of the plunger relative to the syringe is prevented when, in use, the syringe is advanced from a retracted position to an extended position. Hence the contents of the syringe are not expelled from the syringe during advancement from the retracted position to the extended position. The contents are only expelled when the syringe reaches the extended position.
