Title: Method and apparatus for selectively scanning for or aiming a signal
Inventor: NICHOLSON JAMES E
IPC: G02B23/08
Filed: 1996-08-02
Abstract: A selectable field of view device is disclosed which is capable of expanding the relatively narrow field of view of a camera to nearly spherical proportions. The device includes a pair of signal diverters, such as mirrors in the case of light signals, each mirror's reflective surface being parallel to the other's reflective surface, and each mirror being independently rotatable about an X-axis and a Y-axis respectively. Each axis passes through a central portion of its respective mirror with the Y-axis intersecting the X-axis and the X-axis being relatively centered within the field of view of the sensor. The mirrors may be driven by one or more motors. When one motor is used, a brake and idler arrangement provides for rotation of one mirror while the other mirror remains stationary relative to its respective axis. In addition, when one motor is used, the sensor is rotated by the motor via a drive belt such that the sensor rotates the same amount as does the mirror being rotated.

Patent AU-6915598-A (AU)
Title: Method for Noise Reduction, Particularly in Hearing Aids
Inventor: BRENNAN ROBERT
IPC: H03G9/02
Filed: 1998-04-16
Abstract: This invention describes a practical application of noise reduction in hearing aids. Although listening in noisy conditions is difficult for persons with normal hearing, hearing impaired individuals are at a considerable further disadvantage. Under light noise condition, conventional hearing aids simplify the input signal sufficiently to overcome the hearing loss. For a typical sloping hearing loss where there is a loss in high frequency hearing sensitivity, the amount of boost (or gain) rises with frequency. Most frequently, the loss in sensitivity is only for low-level signals; high level signals are affective minimally or not at all. A compression hearing aid is able to compensate by automatically lowering the gain as the input signal level rises. This compression action is usually compromised under noisy conditions. In general, hearing aids are of lesser benefit under noisy conditions since both noise and speech are boosted together when what is really required is a reduction of the noise relative to the speech. A noise reduction algorithm with the dual purpose of enhancing speech relative to noise and also providing a relatively clean signal for the compression circuitry is described. <IMAGE>

Title: A mill arrangement and a process of operating the same
IPC: C21B13/14
Filed: 1987-07-27
Abstract: In the operation of mills for the production of steel from molten pig iron and solid ferrous carriers, it is sought for economic reasons to increase the portion of solid ferrous carriers. To supply thermal carriers, such as fossile fuels, as is known, involves the disadvantages of extended charging times and of undesired accompanying elements introduced into the process. To avoid these disadvantages, the invention provides for a combination of at least one steel converter with a direct reduction plant, a meltdown gasifier and a cupola. Therein, sponge iron discharged from the direct reduction plant is melted to pig iron in the meltdown gasifier, on the one hand, and is used as solid charge for the converter. Scrap, together with coke, is melted in the cupola to blown metal, the latter, together with the pig iron produced in the meltdown gasifier, being supplied to the converter as liquid charge.
