Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a hearing aid (1a, 1b) using a control unit (7), which is linked to the hearing aid (1a, 1b). The latter receives acoustic signals via a microphone (2a, 2b), amplifies said signals and outputs them by means of a loudspeaker (3a, 3b). In said hearing aid (1a, 1b) digital signals are processed according to a predetermined algorithm and data concerning the acoustic environment is created and forwarded to a control unit (7) via a communication interface (6a, 6b). To improve the quality and ease of operation, the data in the control unit (7) is analysed and an optimal algorithm is calculated, which is transmitted to the hearing aid (1a, 1b) via the communication interface (9).

Title: Method and device for producing a low-shrinking smooth yarn
Inventor: BECKER STEFAN
IPC: D01D5/16
Filed: 2002-05-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a high-strength and low-shrinkage synthetic flat yarn. After melt spinning, the filaments are combined to a yarn and drawn. Subsequently, the yarn is compressed to form a plug under the influence of heat. This plug is transported over a certain distance, so that the yarn relaxes in a low-tension state and under the influence of the increased temperature. Finally the plug is disentangled under tension to form the flat yarn, which is wound into a package.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de conversion d'une suite de mots de données en un flux binaire de sortie comprenant une suite de mots de code, ledit procédé mettant en oeuvre une table de mots de code et des valeurs d'état suivant associées. Pour chaque mot de données, la table fournit un mot de code et une valeur d'état suivant associée pour chacune d'une pluralité de valeurs d'état présentes. Les mots de code appartiennent soit à un premier type correspondant à un seul mot de données, soit à un second type correspondant à plusieurs mots de données. La valeur d'état suivant associée à chaque mot de code du second type appartient à un état d'un premier groupe d'états. Les valeurs d'état suivant assurent que des mots de code adjacents choisis en fonction des valeurs d'état suivant satisfont une contrainte de longueur de ligne. Des mots de code appartenant au premier groupe d'états peuvent être identifiés par une structure binaire unique. Le procédé consiste à: a) extraire un mot de données; b) choisir les mots de code correspondant au mot de données à partir des autres valeurs de la pluralité de valeurs d'état présentes qui satisfont la contrainte de longueur de ligne et, lorsque la valeurs d'état présentes appartient au premier groupe d'états, correspondent également à la structure binaire unique de la valeur d'état présente; c) choisir, à partir des mots de code choisis à l'étape b), le mot codé qui fera en sorte que le contenu c.c. du flux binaire de sortie soit le plus proche de zéro; et d) placer le mot codé choisi à l'étape c) dans le flux binaire de sortie.

Abstract: A process of designing a high frequency circuit in multiple domains, such as prototype and production domains, is described. The process begins by obtaining one or more parameters for each domain, such as physical parameters defining, for each layer of the substrate, the layer and the material in thelayer, or electrical parameters defining, for each layer, transmission media on or within the layer. Once the parameters for the first and second domains have been obtained, the process proceeds to deriving, responsive to one or more of these parameters, interchangeable implementations in the first and second domains of the one or more circuit elements.

motors to generate the vibrations. The cushion also has a
cylindrical plastic frame having open ends so that one end
of the sponge is fixed in the frame, and an inner cover
covers the sponge and first and second molded bodies of the
frame. A vessel receiving a battery is inserted into an
end of the frame, and a cap covers an opening of the vessel
and is equipped with an input unit and a display unit of
the controller. An aromatic case is mounted to the cap and
has an aromatic material therein for releasing the aroma,
and an outer cover covers the inner cover and the frame. A
warming or cooling sheet, having pockets sewn on an
internal surface thereof to accommodate hot or cold packs,
is detachably mounted to an external surface of the outer
cover for emitting warmth or coolness. The user lies on
his or her side while wrapping the arms and legs around the
cushion or holds the legs on the cushion, whereby the spine
of the user becomes straight and blood circulation is
improved, thus reforming the sleeping position and
recovering from fatigue.

Abstract: A network performance (e.g., latency and bandwidth) measurement infrastructure for large
scale networks based on self-organized probing groups of devices. Each group of devices
has a lead device that measures network characteristics, and then shares the measurement
information with other devices. This grouping method reduces the amount of network
bandwidth needed for adequate measurements, while still providing necessary information
to individual devices. The system utilizes a novel multicast-based algorithm that is
adopted for both intra-group and inter-group performance measurement. The
measurement groups (MeGroups) are dynamic and self-forming, and use a set of heuristic
algorithms to optimize the dynamic groupings.

Abstract: At the forward end of the boot sole are components engaging in mating ones of the binding (10) so as to form a hinged joint. Those on the sole includes a transverse spindle parallel to the ski running surface and over which a holding component (13) of the binding fits. A hand lever (15) on the binding moves the component between the locked and free positions, and a flexible component (16) acts between the sole forward end and the binding so as to exert a return force on the boot when this lifts off the ski. <??>Corresponding locked positions of the lever define the locked and free positions of the holding component. The forward end of the latter can be coupled directly to the lever so as to be slid the and fro by it. The component passes through the flexible one and a front stop (23) on the binding for the spindle on the sole. The flexible component can be held in the binding by the hinge spindle (14) of the hand lever. A baseplate on the ski can have two lateral flanges (22) bent upwards, also a rib bent upwards to form a front stop (20) for the spindle on the boot sole.

Abstract: There is disclosed an information processing system for
migrating data from a migration source storage subsystem in
which a storage area has been housed from a host to a migration
target storage subsystem. Configuration information is read
out of the migration source storage subsystem, and on the basis
of the information, the storage subsystem of the data migration
target will be configured and a storage area will be provided.
I/O connection between a network node and the migration source
storage subsystem will be cut and change an IP address of the
storage subsystem of the migration source. And, the storage
subsystem of the migration source is caused to refuse an I/O
request from any other than the storage subsystem of the
migration target. On the other hand, the IP address that the
storage subsystem of the migration source has used in the past
will be assigned to the storage subsystem of the migration target,
and information that indicates a path between the host and
storage subsystem is changed is transmitted, and the data in
the storage subsystem of the migration source is moved to the
migration target storage subsystem. Also, by displaying a
condition of the data migration on a display screen, it is
possible to monitor a state of an event that occurs and a storage.

Abstract: In a download management system of the present invention,
when a request of access to a data file specified by a URL is sent
directly to a server 10, the server 10 rejects the access to the
specified data file. When the user selects a desired data file to be
downloaded out of a file list 22 on a display of a terminal device 3,
on the other hand, a browser 7 installed in the terminal device 3
sends a file number 17 and a download request command 18, which
correspond to the selected desired data file, to the server 10. A
download management module 12 of the server 10 retrieves a URL
of a data file corresponding to the file number 17 and transmits the
URL to the browser 7 of the terminal device 3. The results of
downloading are recorded in a management data file 14. This
arrangement ensures sufficient and effective download
management, which data file is downloaded via a network to what
