Patent EP-0867709-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DOSMANN ANDREW J
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 1998-03-16
Abstract: A system for normalizing measurements obtained from spectrometers to correct
for measurement biases in individual spectrometers. The normalization system is
adapted for use in spectrometers having an optical assembly for obtaining characteristic
data from a test sample. A normalization factor is obtained in each spectrometer by
placing a holographic dispersion filter between the light source and detector in the
position normally occupied by the test sample, the filter having been encoded with a
symbol representing a nominal value of light expected to pass through the filter. The
spectrometer determines the value of light passing through the filter and calculates a
normalization factor based on the ratio between the nominal value of the filter and the
actual value obtained by the spectrometer. The normalization factor is stored in system
memory and the filter removed so that the spectrometer may thereafter be used to
evaluate a plurality of test samples. The measured results obtained from the test samples
are normalized by multiplying them by the stored normalization factor. Where
measurements are obtained from a plurality of spectrometers, the normalized results
vary less than about 10% from instrument to instrument for a variety of types of
characteristic data, including turbidimetric microalbumin assays.

Inventor: HARDWICK JOHN C
IPC: G10L19/08
Filed: 1991-12-04
Abstract: The reduncancy contained within the spectral
amplitudes is reduced, and as a result the quantization
of the spectral amplitudes is improved. The prediction
of the spectral amplitudes of the current segment from
the spectral amplitudes of the previous is adjusted to
account for any change in the fundamental frequency
between the two segments. The spectral amplitudes
prediction residuals are divided into a fixed number of
blocks each containing approximately the same number of
elements. A prediction residual block average (PRBA)
vector is formed; each element of the PRBA is equal to
the average of the prediction residuals within one of the
blocks. The PRBA vector is vector quantized, or it is
transformed with a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and
scalar quantized. The perceived effect of bit errors is
reduced by smoothing the voiced/unvoiced decisions.
An estimate of the error rate is made by locally
averaging the number of correctable bit errors within
each segment. If the estimate of the error rate is
greater than a threshold, then high energy spectral
amplitudes are declared voiced.

Abstract: A vibration absorber (10) has a mount (40) for attaching
to a vibrating body, such as the frame of an aircraft. A plate
(28)is spaced from the mount (40) with a mass (52) there
between. A first elastomeric ring (60) is compressed between
the mass (52) and the mount (40), and a second elastomeric ring
(62) is compressed between the mass (52) and the plate (28).
The rings act as a spring having a stiffness that defines a
resonant frequency at which the mass oscillates. Vibration in
the body is reduced by the mass movement absorbing vibrational
energy and the energy absorption is maximized when the mass
resonates at the vibration frequency. A controller (80) senses
body vibration and operates a mechanism that alters the spacing
between the mount and the plate thereby adjusting the spring
stiffness. The stiffness of the spring is changed until the
resonant frequency of the mass is tuned to the vibration
frequency of the body.

Title: Corps composite de matrice metallique dote d'une surface a usinabilite accrue et a pouvoir abrasif reduit
Inventor: SCHULTZ BRIAN E
IPC: C04B41/51
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: Souvent, les composites de matrice métallique (MMC) ne présentent pas une usinabilité appropriée et sont dotés d'un pouvoir abrasif excessif parce que des matières en céramique dures telles que le carbure de silicium en constituent la phase d'armature. Pour fabriquer un corps composite de matrice métallique doté d'une surface à usinabilité accrue et à pouvoir abrasif réduit, on forme un MMC comprenant une armature en nitrure d'aluminium sur la surface du corps. Dans un mode de réalisation, on dote une masse ou une préforme perméable d'une couche à la surface de sortie, la couche comprenant au moins une charge réduite de matière de charge en céramique et parfois, pas de matière en céramique du tout. On réduit la charge en ajoutant une matière fugitive dans la couche de revêtement. On provoque l'infiltration d'un métal de matrice en fusion dans la masse ou la préforme perméable et dans la couche de revêtement pour produire un corps de macrocomposite comprenant un revêtement et un substrat de composite de matrice métallique. La couche de revêtement de composite de matrice métallique peut être distinguée de la matière de substrat de composite de matrice métallique, par la composition et par les propriétés obtenues. Dans des conditions d'infiltration spontanée, telles que définies ci-dessus, le nitrure d'aluminium se forme in situ dans le corps infiltré, y compris dans la couche de surface. La technique de revêtement de la présente invention, cependant, permet de produire une surface de MMC plus épaisse que celle qui aurait été produite auparavant. La couche de surface de la présente invention peut être virtuellement appliquée à n'importe quel corps d'aluminium ou d'alliage d'aluminium avec ou sans armature.

The jets of the upper and lower jet boxes (29, 30) are aligned against each other so that the fabric (2), moving along the center plane (9), is given an alternating bowed movement upwards and downwards, and across the fabric width. Each unit has four jets aligned at each other. The jets to the left and right of the longitudinal center line are aligned inwards to the center, above and below the fabric (2). The jets aligned across the direction of fabric travel alternate towards and away from each other with, in each case, paired jets in the same direction. The lateral jets spread the fabric in corrugations. The upper and lower jets are in alignment with each other, or they are offset from each other. The lateral jets are in rows, where the jets in adjacent rows in the movement direction are offset from those in the preceding row. Covers are fitted to match the width of the jet box working surfaces to the width of the fabric (2), as slides within the jet boxes. The jet openings can be flush with the flat surfaces of the jet box bases.
