Abstract: A molded transparent thermoplastic housing has a programmable transmitting circuit for transmitting seal identifying serial number, seal location, container identification and other data to a local receiver. A door in the housing permits access to the circuit for programming the seal indicia and related data for transmission. A contact arrangement forms a switch upon insertion of a locking bolt into a locking mechanism in the housing and applies battery power through the bolt to activate the data generating circuit. A conductor along the bolt shank is connected to the circuit provides a tamper evident signal to the circuit when the bolt is severed. The circuit senses the removal of the bolt or severed bolt condition for generating a "tamper" signal which is transmitted to a local receiver/reader. The conductor at the bolt may be a wire in a plastic tube surrounding the shank, a conductive layer over an insulation layer on the shank and over the conductive bolt head in ohmic contact with the head or a wire in a hollow metal tube. Severing the bolt severs the wire or the ohmic contact between the head and coating or between the head and the wire in the tube to indicate tampering. The seal periodically in random periods transmits the seal condition, whether normal or tampered. In an alternative embodiment, an interrogation unit may interrogate the seal which then transmits its locked or tampered states according to the locked or tampered condition of the bolt.

Abstract: The drive signal supplied to the piezoelectric vibrator includes the expansion waveform elements (P1, P2, and P3) for expanding the pressure generating chamber, the contraction waveform element (P5) for contracting the pressure generating chamber expanded by the expansion waveform element and jetting an ink drop from the nozzle opening, and the vibration damping waveform element (P7) changing from the terminal voltage (VL) of the contraction waveform element (P5) to the vibration damping voltage (VM) so as to suppress the residual vibration of the meniscus of the pressure generating chamber after jetting an ink drop. The initial and terminal voltages of the drive signal are equal to each other and equivalent to the standby voltage (VL) set as a voltage of the piezoelectric vibrator at the time of non-supply of the drive signal. The vibration damping voltage (VM) lies between the standby voltage VL and the maximum voltage VH of the drive signal. Accidental jetting of ink drops, at the time of recovery of the vibrator voltage using the voltage recovery device, can surely be prevented.

Abstract: Speech enhancement is provided in dual microphone noise reduction systems by including spectral subtraction algorithms using linear convolution, causal filtering and/or spectrum dependent exponential averaging of the spectral subtraction gain function. According to exemplary embodiments, when a far-mouth microphone is used in conjunction with a near-mouth microphone, it is possible to handle non-stationary background noise as long as the noise spectrum can continuously be estimated from a single block of input samples. The far-mouth microphone, in addition to picking up the background noise, also picks up the speaker's voice, albeit at a lower level than the near-mouth microphone. To enhance the noise estimate, a spectral subtraction stage is used to suppress the speech in the far-mouth microphone signal. To be able to enhance the noise estimate, a rough speech estimate is formed with another spectral subtraction stage from the near-mouth signal. Finally, a third spectral subtraction function is used to enhance the near-mouth signal by suppressing the background noise using the enhanced background noise estimate. A controller dynamically determines any or all of a first, second, and third subtraction factor for each of the first, second, and third spectral subtraction stages, respectively.

Abstract: With a method of establishing an enveloped flow in a channel, in the channel an envelopment area ( 3 ) with a channel section ( 6, 7 ) is configured to which a stub with an outlet is connected, where the stub, which can be configured as a polyhedron, is arranged substantially at right-angles to the envelopment area and with the plane of the outlet substantially at right-angles to the channel section. An inlet channel ( 9, 11 ) and an outlet channel ( 8, 10 ) are connected to the envelopment area. By providing a narrowing-down in the cross-section of the channel in immediate extension of the envelopment area ( 3 ), a hydrodynamic focussing of the sample fluid is achieved when a fluid, such as a sample fluid, is introduced into the stub, and a carrier fluid is introduced into the inlet channel. The advantage of the invention is that since it is necessary only to have two fluid inlets, a relatively simple structure can be established, which can be built up in a monolithic manner, e.g. by injection molding.

Abstract: A method and apparatus using ultrasonic sensors for determination of the pointing vector described by two points separated in space in the coordinate frame of the measuring system. For measurement, acoustic signals are transmitted from two emitters whose spatially separated coordinates form the desired pointing vector. Three detectors, associated receiver electronics and software are required to compute six distinct spheres from the time of flight measurements. The intersection of the three spheres, associated with each emitter, describe the desired location in the detector coordinate system of that emitter. With the coordinates of each emitter, the pointing vector is computed using standard geometry. A reference is required to determine the time of flight of the signals to each detector. Another embodiment uses an active reflective technique, where the timing is obtained through round trip transmission and reception of the signal with a known fixed delay at the vector points.

Abstract: To determine the type of unknown optical fiber, an automatic fiber fusion-type splicer is used having movable clamps, electrodes, camera devices and background illumination, coupled to electronic circuits containing control, driver, and interface circuits. A fiber portion is imaged to allow the fiber core to be distinguished in the captured image, both when the fiber is cold and when it is heated. From a first fiber picture in a heated state, a first light intensity profile is determined along a line perpendicular to the fiber. The profile derivative is compared to derivatives of known light intensity profiles. Similar procedures are performed for the cold fiber. Based on the comparing operations, the type of the tested fiber is determined.
