Abstract: A speech parameter encoder capable of encoding spectrum parameters at a bit rate of 1 kb/s or less with comparatively small amount of operations and memory capacity. A spectrum parameter calculation unit (130) derives a spectrum parameter representing the spectrum envelope of a discrete input speech signal through division thereof into frames each having a predetermined time length. A weighted coefficient calculation unit (150) derives a weighted coefficient corresponding to an auditory masking threshold value through derivation thereof from the speech signal. A spectrum parameter quantization unit (160) receives the weighted coefficient and the spectrum parameter and centeses the spectrum parameter through search of a codebook such as to minimize the weighting distortion based on the weighted coefficient.

Abstract: In a bulk material analyzer in which bulk material (38) is transported on a conveyor belt (40) through an activation region (34) between a pair of neutron sources (14) laterally disposed on one side of the activation region for emitting neutrons for bombarding the bulk material within the activation region to cause gamma-rays to be emitted from the bombarded bulk material and a pair of gamma-ray detectors (16) laterally disposed on another side of the activation region for detecting gamma-rays emitted from the bulk material, a primary neutron moderator (20) is disposed about the neutron sources for reducing the velocity of the emitted neutrons; and a secondary neutron moderator (22) is disposed about the primary neutron moderator for further reducing the velocity of the neutrons and is further disposed adjacent the lateral edges of the activation region for channeling and reflecting the neutrons into the activation region. The two gamma-ray detectors are disposed toward opposite lateral edges of the activation region, with each detector being skewed so that a portion of each detector that is closer to the edge of the activation region toward which the detector is disposed than to the lateral center of the activation region is disposed closer to a plane passing laterally through the center of the activation region than is another portion of each detector that is closer to the lateral center of the activation region than to the edge of the activation region toward which the detector is disposed. Spatial compensators (27) of primarily neutron moderating material are respectively disposed over the detectors for gradually reflecting neutrons toward the activation region, with reflection increasing in a direction away from the lateral center of the activation region. Bladders (62) containing a liquid primary neutron moderating material that expands and contracts with temperature variations, such as heavy water, are tightly packed within a compartment (60) for maintaining a substantial quantity of the liquid material between the neutron sources and the activation region notwithstanding thermal contraction of the liquid material; and a resilient compressible foam (64) is disposed about the bladders for enabling the tight packing of the liquid material to be maintained notwithstanding expansion and contraction of the liquid material.

Abstract: A configuration of evaporator vessel and electrode arrangement is proposed which permits the provision of a wide spectrum of different types of equipment by means of a small number of different components in a variable composition. For this purpose, provision is made in the wall of the evaporator vessel (2, 6, 10) for an arrangement of a plurality of penetrations (bushings) (16.1, 16.2) in which electrodes (20) can be held by means of a plug-in part (18). The plug-in part (18) is provided with an automatic latching device (38, 40) which retains it, after simple plugging-in, in one of the penetrations (16.1, 16.2) and which can be detached again, if required, in order to remove the plug-in part by hand. Depending on the desired design of the electrode-type evaporator, it is thus possible in a simple way to mount electrodes at different positions and in different orientations. Furthermore, it is proposed to include in the electrode arrangement a dummy electrode, which is not connected electrically or is connected to a neutral conductor. By using such a dummy electrode, it is possible, in addition, to control the variation of electric field in such a way that the other (active) electrodes require less adaptation, or none at all to different equipment designs. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Condensation is prevented, and for heat insulation of the water tank in the area of an absorber plate (3) a closed space (i) with small volume is created. Only a little water vapour can condense out of the air in this small volume. If the narrow face sides are closed with a vapour-permeable membrane (7) of e.g. felt material, overnight condensed water on the transparent plate (1), e.g. insulating glass, is evacuated very quickly outwards by sun radiation through the heating of the black-coated absorber plate. Additionally, a hygroscopic medium can be used, which stores the condensate and only releases it with sufficiently strong sun radiation, so that it can be evacuated from the system as vapour.

Abstract: A needle tip protector (16) which assures that a needle (14) is secured and protected against accidental puncture after it is withdrawn from a patient's body. The needle tip protector includes a needle, having a needle tip (18) for initiating a body puncture, with a wire (20) attached to the needle at its end (22) opposite to the needle tip. A needle tip protector tubing (24) which is curved along its length surrounds the needle and has a fitting such as a Luer (26) fitting at a first end with a first through hole (28) having a diameter sufficiently large to enable the needle to pass therethrough. A cap (30) is provided at the second end of the protector tubing, with a second through hole (32) having a diameter sufficiently large to enable the wire to pass therethrough but small enough to prevent the needle from passing therethrough. The needle tip protector tubing has a length larger than the length of the needle, such that after a body puncture, the needle is withdrawn by pulling the wire and needle until the needle is stopped by the cap, at which position the entire needle is encased by the needle tip protector tubing, with the needle tip deflected to one side of the first through hole because of the curvature of the curved needle tip protector tubing. The needle tip protector can be used with a catheter, such as an intravenous (IV) or winged IV catheter, or with an endoscopic device.

Abstract: An arrangement for measuring desired parameters of a contact lens by optical sectioning which comprises a support fixture on which a contact lens is positioned. The support fixture includes a container in which a pedestal is positioned, and the container is filled with a saline solution. The contact lens is placed on the pedestal completely immersed in the saline solution. A line of light is generated and directed by imaging and shaping optical elements over the edge of the container and through a selected diameter of the contact lens. An imaging camera detects and image of the light scattered at the surfaces of the contact lens at the selected diameter, which is captured by a frame grabber and is digitally stored for subsequent image processing and determination of the desired parameters of the contact lens. The analysis provides at least four basic parameters of the contact lens including the diameter (D), front radius of curvature (FC), back radius of curvature (BC), and center thickness (CT), and can also provide the lenticular curve radius, the peripheral curve radius, the sagittal height, aspherical forms and deviations of the several measured curvatures, and the power of the lens.

Abstract: In each of multiple logic cells of a Programmable Gate Array ("PGA"), a programming array is provided having multiple programming words therein. Each of the programming words is engagable to control the configuration of the logic cell. The programming words are selectively engaged such that multiple functions are performed by the logic cell within the PGA. As a result, a PGA with a number of virtual logic cells in excess of actual physical logic cells is provided. The PGA therefore has the capability to emulate a PGA with a larger number of logic cells than it physically has.
