Abstract: The invention relates to a sheet-metal shearing machine (10) for great lengths of cut with a stationary lower blade (14) and a vertically reciprocal upper blade (17) that can be actuated in a controlled manner. The inventive shearing machine is provided with hydrocylinders (27, 28) for actuating the cutting and withdrawal movement of said upper blade. Said hydrocylinders are coordinated in such a manner that the forces of feed produced by the two hydrocylinders have equal amounts and that the share of load is evenly distributed onto the two hydrocylinders. A main control valve (73) that is pressure-controlled by an electrically controlled pilot valve (83) is provided to control the drive of the hydrocylinders. The shearing machine is also provided with a hydraulic hold-down device (29) with which the metal sheet (11) is clamped down to the base of the shearing machine. A hydraulic accumulator (88) is provided as a source of pressure for the hold-down device (29). Said hydraulic accumulator can be charged by way of a fixed displacement pump (63) in at least one stationary phase of the upper blade (17). The main control valve (73) is configured as a slide valve whose piston (76) has two ranges of stroke  DELTA h1 and  DELTA h2 that directly neighbor each other via an intermediate position (0) and that correspond to alternative operational positions (II and I) of the main control valve (73). A copy stop (128) concurrently performs the feed and withdrawal movement of the upper blade (17) and copies the end position of the upper blade that is facing away from the metal sheet onto the central intermediate position of the main control valve (73). A valve chamber (106) into which the initial pressure of the fixed displacement pump (63) is fed and the hydraulic accumulator (88) are linked with each other so as to communicate in the copying position of the piston (76) and within a stroke range that extends on both sides of the intermediate position (0) that is smaller than the overall stroke ( DELTA h1 +  DELTA h2) of the piston (76). The shearing machine is also provided with a pressure-controlled accumulator-charge valve arrangement (131) that switches the fixed displacement pump (63) to the circulation mode after a charge cycle of the hydraulic accumulator (88). An electrohydraulic control unit (72) activates first the hold-down device (29) before the main control valve (73) reaches the operational position (II) that corresponds to the cutting mode.

Abstract: A lost packet recovery device, method and computer program for a VoIP system. Lost packets containing voice information are replaced using time domain interpolation techniques. A first embodiment relies on time domain harmonic scaling to interpolate a replacement frame, using the frames that come before and after the missing frame. A second embodiment replicates a frame immediately prior to the missing frame, with an energy reduction function applied that reduces the energy level of the data samples in the frame. This replicated frame replaces the missing frame. Duplicating the prior frame and reducing its energy levels are repeated until a further frame is detected. An energy restoration function is then applied to the next available frame to gradually increase its energy level and provide for a smooth transition. Using these techniques, missing frames of voice data may be replaced to mask the effects of missing frames to a listener.

Abstract: A time-to-digital converter is used to determine which edge of the higher-frequency clock (oversampling clock) is farther away from the edge of the lower-frequency timing signal. At the same time, the oversampling clock performs sampling of the timing signal by two registers: one on the rising edge and the other on the falling edge. Then, the register of "better quality" retiming, as determined by the fractional phase detector decision, is selected to provide the retimed output. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Headerless (i.e., zero byte) data packets are sent by a compressor over a radio bearer. The radio bearer includes a synchronized wireless link. A sequential timer-based value is associated with each of the headerless data packets. A decompressor generates a header based on the sequential timer-based value associated with a given received headerless data packet. A data packet having a compressed header is sent periodically over the synchronized wireless link. The data packet having the compressed header can also be sent when the compressor detects changes in slowly-varying header fields, in response to feedback received from the decompressor indicating that a decompression context is out of synchronization and/or just before talk spurts occur. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An adjustable resilient blade support for use in the forming section of a papermaking machine. The blade support is adjustable, both to allow the attached blade to be moved from a position where it is out of contact to a position where it is pressed into contact with the adjacent forming fabric, and to permit adjustment of the blade orientation relative to the surface of the forming fabric. The blade support is also resilient, and thus allows the blade to respond to transient localized changes in the path of the forming fabric with which it is in contact. The adjustable resilient blade support of this invention is thus of use in an open surface forming section, and also is of use in forming sections in which two forming fabrics are used.
