IPC: A61G3/06
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: A wheelchair lift is mounted in a vehicle doorway and provided with at least  three distinct modes in which a supporting platform (32) can be moved. The platform (32) is affixed to vertical standards (44, 46) guided by parallelogram linkages (47) between the standards (44, 46) and fixed posts (40) mounted in the vehicle doorway. The platform (32) is pivotable on a horizontal axis at the connection between the platform and the movable standards (44, 46) such that the platform can be raised to a compact vertica l orientation. The platform (32) also is attached to the vertical standards (4 4, 46) on a vertical axis (45) so as to hinge in the manner of a gate to clear the doorway for passage. Heavy journal posts attach the platform (32) to the  vertical standard on one lateral side of the lift and on the opposite latera l side a heavy duty clamping latch (72) captures a bar protruding from the platform adjacent to its horizontal hinge axis.

Inventor: COLSON WENDELL B
IPC: D04H3/07
Filed: 2000-09-20
Abstract: This invention comprises a plurality of yarns that have been formed into an aligned group, substantially parallel and equally spaced apart, as described in greater detail below. This parallel grouping of yarns is fixed in place by forming an adhesive coating, printed on only one side of the yarns. Cooling of the hot melt adhesive occurs almost instantaneously, and the resulting product is a fixed web or substrate consisting essentially of a plurality of aligned yarns and an adhesive coating or layer on one side of said fibers. The fiber orientation produced in this invention, in which the fibers run in the machine direction, provides a non-woven fabric material substrate in which the fibers mimic warp yarns, which can either be used as is or used in subsequent non-woven manufacturing processes to make materials that have the visual impression and physical feel of a woven material.

Inventor: ZIBULSKI MEIR
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 2001-07-12
Abstract: A method for estimating a pitch frequency of an audio signal includes computing a first transform of the signal to a frequency domain over a first time interval (42), and computing a second transform of the signal of the frequency domain over a second time interval (44), which contains the first time interval. A line spectrum of the signal is found, based on the first and second transforms, the spectrum including spectral lines having respective line amplitudes and line frequencies. A utility function (130) that is periodic in the frequencies of the lines in the spectrum is then computed.  This function is indicative (158), for each candidate pitch frequency in a given pitch frequency range, of a compatibility of the spectrum with the candidate pitch frequency. The pitch frequency of the speech signal is estimated responsive to the utility function (176, 178).
