Abstract: Speech synthesis is based on a human vocal chords model with two dynamically interlinked masses. Their positions determine glottis parameters. In particular, a first sub-model describes the dynamically interlinked masses acted upon by external forces. A second dynamical partial model describes dynamics of a contour of the glottis in dependence of geometry parameters produced by the first sub-model, and outputs a first part of the external forces in addition to transmitting the geometry parameters. A third hydrodynamic sub-model describes hydrodynamics in dependence of the transmitted parameters, is acted upon by air pressure parameters, and outputs a second part of the external forces and an actual volume velocity.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a process for feeding papermaking stock to a papermachine. The apparatus comprises a mixing vessel (12) for receiving and mixing stock components and a pipe (40) for feeding the resulting mixed stock to said papermachine. In the feeding pipe (40) there are stock flow metering means (42) stock consistency sensing means (44) and stock flow control means (32). Said means are all connected to a control system (46) adapted for receiving said flow data (Q) and said consistency data (C). The control system (46) is adapted for continuously computing a value for the product (QxC) of said flow and consistency and for providing adjustment of the flow control means (32) to keep said product (QxC) at a target value. The invention provides faster response times in the control of a papermaking process. It also reduces the volume of stock mixing vessels and the amount of water in the process.

Abstract: A spinal implant is adapted for translateral insertion into a disc space between two vertebrae. The implant has a mid-longitudinal axis and opposed arcuate portions for engaging each of the adjacent vertebral bodies. A maximum cross sectional dimension transverse to the mid-longitudinal axis is in a range of 22mm to 30mm. The translateral spinal fusion implant of the present invention has a good surface area of contact and permits a good stability so as to withstand torque, and in case of a threaded implant, increases the depth which any threads are able to penetrate the vertebrae. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a number of sub-processor systems, each substantially identically constructed, and each comprising a central processing unit (CPU), and at least one I/O device, interconnected by routing apparatus that also interconnects the sub-processor systems. A CPU of any one of the sub-processor systems may communicate, through the routing elements, with any I/O device of the system, or with any CPU of the system. Communications between I/O devices and CPUs is by packetized messages. Interrupts from I/O devices are communicated from the I/O devices to the CPUs (or from one CPU to another CPU) as message packets. CPUs and I/O devices may write to, or read from, memory of a CPU of the system. Memory protection is provided by an access validation method maintained by each CPU in which CPUs and/or I/O devices are provided with a validation to read/write memory of that CPU, without which memory access is denied. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Balloon especially useful for dilatation of gastrointestinal lesions has a burst pressure of at least 9 atmospheres, a diameter at 3 atmospheres of about 5 mm or more, and an average compliance over the range of from 3 atmospheres to burst of at least 3 % per atmosphere. Such balloons and balloons having other combinations of burst strength, compliance and diameter may be prepared by a method wherein a tubing of a thermoplastic polymer material is radially expanded under a first elevated pressure at an elevated temperature to form the balloon at a first diameter and then annealing the balloon at a second elevated temperature and a second pressure less than the first elevated pressure for a time sufficient to shrink the formed balloon to a second diameter less than the first diameter. The thermoplastic polymer material may be a block copolymer material. Catheters bearing balloons prepared by this method have low withdrawal force requirements, especially catheters used in through-the-scope applications.

Abstract: A nerve cuff has one or more sets of electrodes for selectively recording electrical activity in a nerve or for selectively stimulating regions of the nerve. Each set of electrodes is located in a longitudinally extending chamber between a pair of longitudinal ridges which project into the bore of the nerve cuff. The ridges are electrically insulating and serve to improve the selectivity of the nerve cuff. The ridges seal against an outer surface of the nerve without penetrating the nerve. Nerve cuffs according to the invention may be used in functional electrical stimulation systems. Electrodes may be replaced with fine tubes to enable pharmacological agents to be delivered selectively through the tubes to portions of a nerve passing through the cuff or to permit the sampling of fluids from regions adjacent selected outer portions of the nerve. The nerve cuff may be constructed of modular segments which can be selected to provide a customized fit to the shape and size of a nerve at time of implantation.

Abstract: This invention provides a tool for executing interactive TV applications on set-top units (130) by representing the Interactive TV Application (ITVA) into a high level format such as the Interactive Application Description (210). This abstraction level will make it easier to port and share the ITVA between different tools and hence various Applications Providers. Besides, it conveys down ITVA to the decoder using this IAD discipline so that the Navigation Engine (NE) takes advantage of this high level representation through its memory management strategy and through the navigation support it can provide. The present model separates the navigation structure of the Interactive Application Description (210), from the way it is rendered on the display by implementing Metaphor Elements (220). In fact, the MEs not only take care of the screen management but also manage the user inputs (240), that is to say the look and feel which can thus be dynamically changed. According to the present invention, the Navigation Engine (230) which runs on decoders are to perform three main functions that are to load the Interactive TV Application on decoders; to Associate of the Interactive Application Description elements with particular Metaphor Elements and to make them operating together. In addition with this well-defined interface between the IAD and the ME, a library of ME can be stored in the decoder, which saves bandwidth and RAM. Thus, the NE can select which type of ME should be used on each particular decoder depending on their hardware and software requirements so that an application can run on a stock of heterogeneous decoders. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radial impacting technique involves using a set of progressively larger radial impactors to pack a medullary canal in a radial direction toward the cortex. For revision cases, graft material, which may be either synthetic or bone graft material, is added into the medullary canal after the previously installed implant has been removed. Packing the medullary canal in the radial direction, as opposed to the conventional approach of packing in a distal direction, provides superior results. The radial impactors are preferably cannulated and may also have holes to assist in the removal of fluids from within the medullary canal. The profile impactors may be either cannulated or non-cannulated and prepare the medullary canal for receipt of the implant.
