Abstract: A telephone answering machine (104) and method of use utilizes speech recognition (106) to identify a caller from a pre-defined list (111) of possible callers. The list may be generated by various input techniques, including a spoken voice at the called party's location, and keyboard or graphical input techniques. If the caller is identified as being on the list (203), the machine allows the call to progress along a first sequence, which includes ringing the called phone (204). If the called phone does not answer (205), the first sequence may provide for responding with a customized message (212) for the calling party. If the caller is not identified as being on the list, the machine allows the call to progress along a second sequence, which includes responding with a standard recorded message (207). In either case, the caller is typically allowed to record a message for the called party (209). Additional pre-defined lists may be provided, as for determining the context of a call.

Abstract: Procédé permettant de produire un ou plusieurs trous traversant dans une pièce métallique au moyen d'un appareil d'usinage électrochimique (appareil ECM). Ce procédé est caractérisé par le fait que la surface de la pièce en contact avec l'électrode de l'appareil ECM est munie d'une couche auxiliaire, comportant un réseau polymérique composé de fragments organiques et inorganiques. De la sorte, on évite l'émoussement à la frontière entre les trous formés et la surface de sortie de l'électrode ECM. Un réseau polymère comprenant de l'oxyde de silicium et de l'oxyde de zirconium, ainsi que des fragments contenant du carbone, incorporés dans le réseau polymère via des liaisons SiC, s'est avéré très satisfaisant. L'invention peut avec grand avantage être utilisée pour fabriquer des grilles et des couteaux de rasoir.

Abstract: A switched-mode power supply for energizing a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp ("CCFL") includes a first semiconductor switch connects in series with a primary winding of a step-up transformer. The primary winding and a secondary winding, having many more turns than the primary winding, are disposed about a transformer core which has a linear magnetic permeability. A series connected second semiconductor switch and capacitor connect in parallel with the transformer's primary winding. A controller circuit transmits signals to turn the switches on and off. The controller circuit turns the first and second semiconductor switches on and off at a frequency that is higher than a resonant frequency of a parallel resonant circuit formed by the primary inductance of the transformer and capacitance of the capacitor. A decoupling capacitor connects in series to a first end of the transformer's secondary winding. A second terminal of the decoupling capacitor and a second end of the secondary winding provide ac power output terminals for the switched-mode power supply across which a CCFL may be connected.

Inventor: STEIGERWALD ROBERT LOUIS
IPC: H01F30/00

Abstract: A front-end converter processes only a fraction (e.g., about 10%) of
the power delivered by an efficient output (i.e., the main) converter in order
to control the output voltage thereof. Because only a fraction of the
delivered power is processed, the losses associated with the front-end
converter are a very small fraction of the total delivered power, leading to
very high overall efficiencies. The input power to the front-end converter
(12) is provided from the output of the main converter; this reduced power is
thus circulated within the converter. Regulation of the output voltage (V o ) by
controlling (11) the dc voltage relieves the regulating function from the main
converter, allowing the main converter to be selected strictly on the basis of
efficiency and small size. The result is an overall efficient, compact dc-to-dc
converter with minimal output filter requirements and protection against
output short circuits. Additionally, the converter bandwidth is determined by
the bandwidth of the low-power front-end converter which can have a higher
bandwidth than a full-rated converter. Therefore, a significantly higher
bandwidth can be achieved as compared with presently available converters,
advantageously resulting in a reduced output filter size and faster speed of
response.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne l'utilisation du dioxyde de carbone ou gaz carbonique CO2, émanant de diverses sources naturelles et artificielles. Partout où un tel gaz est rejeté dans l'atmosphère comme sous-produit de déchets, il génère une émission gazeuse très importante contribuant à renforcer l'effet de serre atmosphérique affectant la terre et à influer de manière dramatique sur le réchauffement global. La présente invention peut fournir une méthode de transport, de distribution et d'utilisation du CO2. Cet aspect de l'invention inclut le transport de CO2 par les gazoducs de gaz naturel inutilisés durant les mois estivaux et la livraison dudit CO2 dans les champs à récolter, permettant ainsi d'accroître les rendements des récoltes. Cette méthode augmentera le facteur saisonnier de charge d'utilisation des gazoducs de gaz naturel pendant les mois d'étiage du chauffage, lorsque la demande de gaz naturel est faible. En outre, l'invention peut fournir un mécanisme de distribution consistant en une série de conduits segmentés avec des robinets à vanne reliés à des collecteurs primaires ramifiés. Lesdits collecteurs primaires peuvent à leur tour être reliés à une série de rangées secondaires de sorties d'oléoducs. Ce système de distribution du gaz est compatible avec les pratiques et les instruments agricoles actuels. La livraison automatisée de CO2 par les rangées du mécanisme de distribution sur tuyaux de sortie peut être facilement adaptée au système de commande à distance des dispositifs de gestion électronique des champs, ce qui permettrait de distribuer le CO2 aux récoltes agricoles de manière économique, précise et équilibrée. Le réseau de diffusion du gaz, la surveillance électronique et les commandes de livraison automatisées peuvent se regrouper dans une usine de préparation du gaz conçue pour optimiser le support gazeux, y compris les concentrations et températures de CO2 propres aux récoltes pour la photosynthèse.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polycondensation reactor for
polyesters, polyamides or polyarylates in which a low
I.V. material is introduced into the reactor and a
relative high I.V. polymer exits the reactor. The
reactor has at least two overlapping cyclindrical
interior chambers, each with a rotating shaft through its
length. Each shaft has a plurality of stirrers and
spacers designed to wipe all interior surfaces of the
reactor. The stirrers can be shaped as a cycloid or
involute profile, for example. Generally the stirrers on
each shaft are indexed from one another preferably by 90°
and interdigitate with stirrers on the adjacent shaft.
Stirring the low I.V. material by rotating the stirrers
(on the shafts) through the material spreads it into a
plurality of thin films. At the temperature and vacuum
conditions of the reactor, a volatile component is
removed, thus causing the material to polymerize, by
condensation, forming a relatively high I.V. polymer.

Abstract: Eight lattice-point data items of a unit cube are
output from LUT memories (2Y, 2M, 2C) according to
upper 3-bit signals of 3-dimensional color space
signals input to an input system (G1). The magnitudes
of the input 3-dimensional color space signals are
compared in a comparison operating section (G5). The
spatial coordinate position of an output value is
determined based on the result of comparison by a
spatial position determining section (G6) and one of
the divided polyhedrons is selected by a divided
polyhedron selecting section (G8). Further, whether or
not a to-be-derived output value is present near the
boundary surface of the divided polyhedron is
determined based on the result of comparison of the
comparison operating section (G5) by a boundary surface
neighborhood determining section (G7). When it is
determined that the to-be-output value lies near the
boundary surface, lattice-point data items are
corrected by data correction processing sections
(3Y, 3M, 3C). Lattice-point data for the polyhedron
selected by the divided polyhedron selecting
section (G8) is selected from lattice-point data
containing the corrected lattice-point data items by
use of interpolation operation data selecting sections
(9Y, 9M, 9C) and is subjected to the interpolation
process by interpolation operation processing sections
