Title: Fast significant sample detectionfor a pitch detector
Inventor: THOMSON DAVID LYNN
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 1987-08-27
Granted: 1989-01-27
Abstract: Improved significant sample detection for a pitch detector for use with speech analysis and synthesis methods by performing a reverse order search and a forward order search of digitized speech samples. A reverse search detector (12) is responsive to segmented digital samples for determining a set of candidate samples by initially selecting one of the digitized samples as a present candidate sample and comparing in reverse order each of the digitized samples with the present candidate sample until a digitized sample is found whose amplitude is greater than the present candidate sample or the compared sample is greater than a predefined number of samples from the present candidate sample. When either of the previous conditions occurs, the compared digital sample becomes the new present candidate sample and the reverse search continues. During the reverse search, each of the compared samples that has not replaced the present candidate sample is set equal to zero. After the reverse search has been performed and a set of candidate samples has been determined, a forward search detector (14) then initially determines a present significant sample. The latter detector compares this significant sample with each of the candidate samples until a candidate sample is found whose amplitude is greater than the present significant sample or the compared candidate sample is more than a predefined number of samples away from the present significant sample. When either of those conditions occurs, the forward search detector saves the value of the amplitude and location of the candidate sample and replaces the present significant sample with that candidate sample and continues the search. A single forward and reverse search determines all of the significant samples.

The one-way package is particularly suitable for use in a beverage vending machine in place of the storage containers employed until now. A suspension flap 12 of the box, which can be separated away from one of the broad sides, serves for interchangeably securing the container in the vending machine for the extraction of the fluid.

Granted: 2003-05-01
Abstract: A stabilizing assembly includes a fastener having an upper end and a lower end, a head at the upper end, and at least one anchoring element extending between the upper and lower ends. The head includes a center, an underside including a first radial surface and a top side including a second radial surface. The first radial surface of the head defines a first radius from the center of the head and the second radial surface defines a second radius from the center of the head, the first radius being greater than the second radius. The assembly also includes a coupling element having an upper end and a lower end, the coupling element including a rod receiving opening extending from the upper end thereof being adapted to receive a stabilizing rod, a bore extending through the lower end of the coupling element for receiving the fastener, and a conical-shaped seat adjacent the lower end of the coupling element adapted to engage the first radial surface of the head when the fastener is positioned in the bore. A locking element associated with the coupling element is adapted to apply a force upon a stabilizing rod positioned in the rod receiving opening. As a force is applied to a stabilizing rod, the rod in turn, engages the second radial surface at the top side of the head for forcing the underside of the head against the conical-shaped seat of the coupling element so as to prevent further pivotal and rotational movement of the fastener and the coupling element relative to one another. In certain embodiments, the fastener may be a screw fastener having screw threads. In other embodiments, the fastener may include a hook.

Granted: 1993-02-18
Abstract: A seal system is disclosed for sealing a housing (14) and rotatable shaft (34) against leakage of high vapor-pressure liquids such as natural gas. The method of sealing contemplates phase change of the liquefied hydrocarbon fluid across a first module (22). The gas so formed is contained by a second seal module (24) which operates as a dry running gas seal. The seal system has plural, axially spaced spiral-groove seal modules (22,24) mounted between the shaft (34) and housing (14). Each seal module has a primary ring (26A,26B) affixed to the housing (14) and a mating ring (30A,30B) affixed for rotation with the shaft (34) and the modules (22,24) define an intermediate cavity (25). The rings have opposed, radially extending faces (28A,28B) (32A,32B), one of which has a plurality of downstream pumping spiral grooves (80) extending from one circumference. The grooves (80) of the grooved ring of the upstream module (22) have a pattern which upon shaft rotation creates shear heating of the liquefied hydrocarbon fluid. The pattern has a land/groove surface area ratio greater than one and preferably a ratio of approximately three. The dam portion (82) relative to groove portion surface area is also preferably greater than one and the preferred dam/groove ratio is approximately three. <IMAGE>

Inventor: SORRIBES MICHAEL MIRAVET
IPC: A61F11/00
Filed: 1998-08-12
Granted: 2002-05-23
Abstract: An instrument and use of an instrument serving for correcting the shape of an external ear, for example jug ears, lop ears, cop ears or Stahl's ears. Correction takes place by, from two sides, affecting a chosen zone of the ear for a period of time with forces for giving the cartilage of that zone a permanent deformation. The instrument comprises a matrix and a patrix interconnected by a hinge and made to, from each side, interactingly affect a chosen zone of the ear for a relatively long period of time with forces for giving the cartilage of that zone a permanent deformation. The hinge can by means of a screw be fixed in the correcting position until the deformation of the cartilage is permanent. A deformed ear can by means of the invention more easily and effectively than known per se be corrected non-surgically.
