Abstract: A clutch for a two-mass flywheel of an internal combustion engine includes a first half-coupling and a second-half coupling. Both half-couplings are, within the bounds provided, torsionally twistable relative to the other. The half-couplings are connected to each other through elastic clutch elements. Side-disks form an inner, leakproof compartment containing a center disk. In the radially outer regions of the compartment resides at least one displacement chamber that is capable of being filled and which has a throttle orifice. The displacement chamber is bound circumferentially by two first tappets which are part of one half-coupling, as well as by a second tappet which is part of the other half-coupling. The second tappet divides the displacement chamber into two sectional chambers. At least one of the tappets includes a stationary tappet piece and a movable tappet piece which is movable in circumferential direction and delimits the respective partial chamber. The tappet piece which is movable in circumferential direction pushes against the force of a spring. The area between the two tappet pieces forms a third damping chamber.

Abstract: In a new communication game system using communication, two kinds of
communication game devices are realized with the same hardware and by differentiating
their active modes. Communication between a communication game device of the first
kind and a communication game device of the second kind is made by differentiating the
transmitting frequency of the first kind device and the transmitting frequency of the
second kind device from each other. A unmodulated pulse is transmitted at a specified
frequency, and the pulse duration is changed with message. When a communication game
device of the second kind receives a signal having a message from the communication
game device of the first kind, the device of the second kind makes an annunciation and
transmits a responding signal if the received message is in accord with the message of its
own. The communication game device of the fist kind make an annunciation when it
receives a responding signal.

Abstract: Voltage-current converter including a signal voltage source (2), a series resistor (4) and an electronic circuit with a first transconductance amplifier (12) and a second transconductance amplifier (22). The corresponding inputs (16, 20; 24, 26) of the transconductance amplifiers (12, 22) are connected to receive a voltage difference (VA) between a node (18) and a reference terminal (8). The output (14) of the first transconductance amplifier (12) is connected to an input terminal (6) to which the series resistor (4) is connected as well. The output (25) of the second transconductance amplifier (22) is connected to an output terminal (10). Due to feedback around the first transconductance amplifier (12) an input current (i1) can flow into the input terminal (6). The input current (i1) is amplified or copied by the second transconductance amplifier (22) and is available at an output terminal (10). The input current (i1) is not only dependent on the series resistor (4), but also on the voltage difference (VA) between the node (18) and the reference terminal (8). The distortion caused by the voltage difference is cancelled by measuring (28) this voltage difference and adding (30) this voltage difference to the input voltage signal (VS) in the proper sense.

Abstract: A set of speaker dependent models or adapted models is
trained upon a comparatively large number of training speakers, one
model per speaker, and model parameters are extracted in a
predefined order to construct a set of supervectors, one per speaker.
Dimensionality reduction is then performed on the set of supervectors
to generate a set of eigenvectors that define an eigenvoice space. If
desired, the number of vectors may be reduced to achieve data
compression. Thereafter, a new speaker provides adaptation data
from which a supervector is constructed by constraining this
supervector to be in the eigenvoice space based on a maximum
likelihood estimation. The resulting coefficients in the eigenspace of
this new speaker may then be used to construct a new set of model
parameters from which an adapted model is constructed for that
speaker. The adapted model may then be further adapted via MAP,
MLLR, MLED or the like. The eigenvoice technique may be applied to
MLLR transformation matrices or the like; Bayesian estimation
performed in eigenspace uses prior knowledge about speaker space
density to refine the estimate about the location of a new speaker in
eigenspace.
