Patent EP-0938937-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SCHULZE THORSTEN
IPC: B21C37/08
Filed: 1999-02-04
Abstract: The components are manufactured from aluminum tubes or open rolled profiles. The flat band semifinished material is selectively rolled by rollers across its width and over its length, to achieve a material thickness necessary for the final wall thickness. This takes place before forming the material into a closed tubular or open profile, and is based on calculating the required wall thickness of a finished part. The thickness of the semifinished material is chosen, so that together with an increase in material thickness generated by forming in the areas next to the rolled sections, the thickness of the final component is achieved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for a robust
feature extraction for speech recognition in a noisy environment, wherein the
speech signal is segmented and is characterized by spectral components.
The speech signal is splitted into a number of short term spectral components
in L subbands, with L = 1,2,...and a noise spectrum from segments that only
contain noise is estimated. Then a spectral subtraction of the estimated noise
spectrum from the corresponding short term spectrum is performed and a
probability for each short term spectrum component to contain noise is
calculated. Finally these spectral component of each short-term spectrum,
having a low probability to contain speech are interpolated in order to smooth
those short-term spectra that only contain noise. With the interpolation the
spectral components containing noise are interpolated by reliable spectral
speech components that could be found in the neighborhood.

Abstract: A midsole assembly for an athletic shoe
comprises a midsole and a corrugated sheet. The midsole is
formed of soft elastic material. The corrugated sheet is
disposed in the heel portion of a midsole. The front end of
the corrugated sheet extends from the plantar arch portion
to the forefoot portion of the midsole. A sheet comprised
of fiber reinforced plastics is bonded at from the outer
circumference portion to the plantar arch portion of the heel
portion of the corrugated sheet. A meshed sheet portion is
formed in the center of the heel portion. Thus, lateral
deformation of the shoes after contacting with the ground
can be prevented at the outer circumference of the heel
portion and the plantar arch portion having higher
compressive hardness and running stability can be ensured.
The shock load on landing can be absorbed at the heel central
portion having lower compressive hardness and cushioning
properties can be secured.
