Abstract: A disk changer for CD and DVD disks including a rotatable platter with several slots
each adapted for receiving a disk generally needs two optical sensors. The first
sensor is adapted for detecting the number of a related slot of the platter and for
providing a stop signal for the rotation of the platter. The second sensor is adapted
for detecting the presence or absence of a disk in a given slot. 
     Said sensors and their associated evaluation circuits are expensive components.
Therefore it is an object to simplify the means for realizing said sensors. 
     Said second sensor has the form of a link (8) hingedly mounted between its two ends
(10, 11) a first end (10) of the link (8) contacting the surface of the disk (4) and a
second end (11) of the link (8) cooperating with said first optical sensor (6). 
     By this solution said second sensor and its associated evaluation circuit can be
omitted substantially reducing the total costs of the changer.

the data center (12). The data center (12) downloads the data via the Internet onto a
bootable disk partition established on the vendor computer (18), and the vendor
computer (18) then transfers what is essentially an image of the disk of the user
computer (16) onto a replacement computer (22). The replacement computer (22) can

The input follower (12) effects the redoubling of the input voltage (Vin) with an offset. The first output (SV1) is with a positive voltage offset, and the second output (SV2) is with a negative voltage offset, with respect to the input. The outputs (SV1,SV2) of the input follower stage are connected to the sampling capacitor (CE) via a two-route sampling circuit of symmetrical structure, the two component sampling circuits being identical but with transistors of complementary type.

Abstract: A thermal insulating and sound absorbing mat comprises a mat cut to a
predetermined length, upper and lower films covering lateral surfaces and front and
rear end surfaces of the mat with respective minimal required lengths. The films are
not damaged during the compression and packaging process nor torn by the internal
pressure of the mat during the unpacking operation. The produced thermal insulating
article has a structure that meets the requirements of JIS. Such thermal insulating
articles can be manufactured by a highly productive method. Mats cut to a
predetermined length are transferred sequentially side by side with an interval
between adjacent mats such that the films have respective minimal required lengths.
Each mat is covered by the films at the upper and lower surfaces and the lateral
surfaces. Then, adjacent mats are stopped at a predetermined position with the
interval, and are pushed downwardly at the oppositely disposed end surfaces to a
predetermined height. Thereafter, the front and end surfaces are covered by the upper
film while maintaining the compression, and the films are bonded together along the
lower end lugs and cut.

Abstract: Non-intrusive speech-quality assessment uses vocal-tract models, in particular for testing telecommunications systems and equipment. This process requires reduction of the speech stream under assessment into a set of parameters that are sensitive to the types of distortion to be assessed. Once parameterized, the data is used to generate a set of physiologically-based rules for error identification, using a parametric modeling of the shape of the vocal tract itself, by comparison between derived parameters and the output of models of physiologically realistic forms for the vocal tract, and the application of physical constraints on how these can change over time.
