Patent EP-0751619-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IKEDA SHIGEJI
IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 1996-06-27
Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a noise cancelling method and a noise canceller where the shortening of the convergence time and the reduction in the distortion (residual error) after the convergence can be realized. A second adaptive filter outputs a pseudo noise signal by receiving a reference signal from a reference signal input terminal. A subtracter subtracts an output pseudo noise signal of the second adaptive filter from a receiving signal input from a speech signal input terminal, and supplies the subtraction result to the second adaptive filter as an error signal. A divisor circuit divides an output speech signal power of a power averaging circuit obtained from the output error signal of the subtracter by an output noise signal power of another power averaging circuit obtained from the output pseudo noise signal of the second adaptive filter, and outputs the result of the division as an estimated value of the signal to noise ratio (SNR). A step size output circuit operates so as to receive the output signal of a signal to noise ratio estimating circuit as an input, and output a value corresponding to the input SNR value as the step size for a first adaptive filter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention is directed towards the method of processing of fibrous mass by a chemical agent and the set up needed for the conducting of the process. 
     Fibrous mass is mixed with a gas transfer agent in the mixing cell and goes to the flow-type tube cell which is shaped like a spiral with the 1:18-1:60 ratio between tube and loop diameters. The chemical agent is transferred immediately to the reactor throughout the jets attached to the reactor lengthwise. The process is carried out in a turbulent regime of motion of the reaction mixture with the velocity of 1-50 m/s. 
     The current invention allows to reach the higher effective processing of fibrous mass, to reduce the consumption of the chemical agent and to increase the quality of the processed material. It can be utilized in paper and pulp industry for the processing of cellulose using a bleaching agent.

Filed: 1996-04-02
Abstract: Pour économiser sur le poids, gagner de la place et diminuer les coûts dans un véhicule, on utilise un appareil multi-fonctions à la place d'une pluralité de dispositifs mono-fonction. L'appareil multi-fonctions utilise un seul dispositif électromagnétique pour actionner sélectivement une pluralité de mécanismes à mouvements intermittents, commandant ainsi des dispositifs mécaniques qui leur sont associés. Dans un exemple spécifique, un moteur électrique réversible à courant continu (51) entraîne sélectivement un essuie-glace (45) de vitre arrière par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission (55, 59), d'un embrayage (99, 111) et d'un arbre entraîné (121). La rotation de l'élément de transmission (59), au-delà de la plage de rotation pour faire fonctionner l'essuie-glace, provoque le désengagement de l'essuie-glace et un mécanisme de verrouillage (201, 221, 223, 235, 243) pour la vitre arrière ou le hayon élévateur peut également être actionné par l'élément de transmission rotatif (59). Selon un autre aspect de la présente invention, un seul moteur électrique actionne sélectivement trois mécanismes à mouvements intermittents, ce qui provoque le fonctionnement de trois dispositifs mécaniques associés (par exemple les mécanismes de verrouillage de la vitre arrière et du hayon élévateur et un essuie-glace).

Abstract: The hazardous or toxic waste material storage apparatus includes a flexible inner container for receiving the hazardous waste material or toxic waste material with the inner container having at least one zone of expansion which is substantially more expandable than other portions of the inner container. The inner container which holds the hazardous or toxic waste material is sealed and disposed within an outer container which is preferably composed of a flexible material. The zones of expansion may preferably be provided in the inner container by a plurality of vertically extending pleats or horizontally extending pleats, or both. The inner container preferably occupies less than the full volume of the outer container so as to permit relative movement therebetween. A sealing disc may function as a closure for the outer container and may be mechanically engaged with portions of the outer container to retain the same in position. In one embodiment, an inflatable member is disposed within the outer container so as to reduce the amount of unoccupied space within the outer container. An associated method is provided.

The retaining means comprise one or more projections which can be moved between a contracted position essentially in line with the tubular element and a spread position, in such a way that each projection can be gripped by a control unit which can be placed in said cavity, in order to move each projection between the above-mentioned positions. These control elements bear a ball-type valve in an elastic manner.
