Abstract: A plurality of carbide, such as silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, etc., nanofibrils predominantly having diameters substantially less than about 100 nm and a method for making such carbide nanofibrils. The method includes the steps of: heating a plurality of carbon nanotubes or nanofibrils predominantly having diameters less than about 50 nm in a reaction chamber in the presence of a gas of the form QnAm, where Q is a metal capable of forming a carbide, A is an element or radical and n and m are integers necessary to satisfy valences, such as, for example silicon monoxide, and an inert gas in a reaction vessel to a temperature substantially less than 1700 C but sufficently high to cause substantial reaction of the metal in the gas with the carbon of said carbon nanotubes or nanofibrils to form, in situ, solid carbide nanofibrils, the temperature being sufficiently low to prevent substantial fusing together of individidual ones of said carbide nanofibrils, removing at least a portion of A-based gas from said reaction chamber as said reaction progresses, and maintaining said temperature until substantially all the carbon of said nanotubes or nanofibrils has been converted into Q-based carbide.

Abstract: A conditioning circuit for use with a microphone 224 placed near a loudspeaker 206 has microphone-in 225 and speaker-line 208 input terminals, an echo canceller circuit (212, 216, 220, 222), a noise-suppresser circuit 230, and a synthesis filter 234 coupling noise-suppresser circuit 230 to a microphone-out output terminal 236. Microphone-in 225 and speaker-line 108 input terminals respectively receive microphone and speaker signals. The echo canceller circuit is coupled between microphone-in 225 and speaker-line 108 input terminals and produces a subband reduced-echo microphone signal by (i) transforming the microphone signal into a subband microphone signal and the speaker signal into a filtered subband speaker signal, and (ii) subband subtracting the filtered subband speaker signal from the subband microphone signal. Noise-suppresser circuit 230 is coupled to the echo canceller circuit to produce a subband reduced-noise, reduced-echo microphone signal by subband noise suppression of the subband reduced-echo microphone signal. Synthesis filter 234 transforms the subband reduced-noise, reduced-echo microphone signal into a fullband reduced-noise, reduced-echo microphone signal. Because the subband signal is not restored to a fullband signal until after undergoing both echo cancellation and noise reduction, my system requires less processing power than systems that apply a synthesis filter between subband echo cancellation and noise reduction. This system is useful in hands-free telephones, especially hands-free cellular telephones used in automobiles. A circuit 538 for subband detection of near-end speech in the microphone signal can be provided so echo cancellation filter coefficients can be automatically frozen when near-end speech is detected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Processing circuitry is provided for processing a plurality of signals received from sense coils (21, 23 and 25) forming part of a position encoder used to encode the relative positions of two relatively movable members. The position encoder is such that each of the plurality of signals from the sense coils varies sinusoidally with the relative position of the members but out of phase with respect to each other. The processing apparatus comprises mixers (71, 73 and 75) for multiplying each of the received signals with one of a corresponding plurality of periodic time varying signals, each having the same predetermined period and a different predetermined phase, and an adder (93) for adding the signals from the mixers. The phase of the mixing signals are chosen so that the output signal from the adder contains a single periodic component having the predetermined period whose phase varies with the relative position of the two members.

Abstract: A method for testing the stability of vertically braced masts wherein the relevant mast is subjected to the load of a bending force starting from a defined initial value, and increasing to a maximum pre-set testing force above its bracing, the mast thereby being laterally displaced. The load is then removed from the mast and is subjected to a restoring force which reduces to zero. The mast is evaluated in conjunction with the load removal procedure to determine damage to the mast and/or its bracing. The mast is subjected to an additional bending force in the opposite direction of the first bending force, and the load is once again removed from the mast in a second test procedure. A possible remaining displacement of the mast/bracing system is evaluated in conjunction with the highest mast loads to determine the type of possible damage to the mast.
