Abstract: An method and a device for echo suppression in a handsfree apparatus, particularly for a telephone is disclosed. With the aid of a control unit, control signals are generated from the signal of the far-end subscriber, the output signal of the loudspeaker-room-microphone system and the output signal of an adaptive filter used as reference, the control signals having an amplitude and a time response dependent on the speech mode. Using the control signals, the amplifications VE, VS of controllable amplifiers disposed in the receiving and transmitting paths are adapted to the speech mode, thus reducing the residual echo. The stepless transition of the amplifications from a quiescent value to a value attenuated with the factor and having an exponential time characteristic in response to a change of speech mode, provides an impression of natural speech.

Abstract: A rotary disc (16) distributes toner evenly over the classification rotor (8) circumference. The toner descends under gravity, being guided through the classification zone (21). A spiral controls toner residence time distribution from top to bottom of the classification zone. Toner is introduced quickly in the homogenous state at the top and resides for a longer interval in the central part of the classification zone. At the bottom it is carried away continuously. Classification air driven past the outer edge of the rotor flows at a mean velocity of 3-7 m/s. The ratio of mass flowrate of toner to volumetric airflow is held at 0.05-0.3 kg/m<3>, based on product weight. Residence time is controlled by a coaxial spiral (29) around the classification rotor. This occupies only part of the radial extent of the classification zone. Over its length, the pitch of the spiral varies. Toner mass flowrate to classification air volumetric flowrate is preferably 0.1 kg/m<3>. Mean velocity of classification air is 5 m/s.

Abstract: An implantable cardiac monitor (30) is arranged for detecting both arrhythmias and ischemia of the human heart. The monitor includes subcutaneous electrodes (34, 36) for establishing electrical contact with the heart and a sense amplifier (62, 66) coupled to each electrode for generating an electrocardiogram of a heart beat sensed at each of the electrodes. The electrocardiograms are digitized and the digital samples thereof are stored in a memory (86). A microprocessor (92) processes the digital samples of the electrocardiograms and generates characterizing data indicative of the physiology of the heart. The cardiac monitor includes telemetry (106) to permit the cardiac data to be interrogated externally of the patient for obtaining the generated cardiac data indicative of arrhythmic and ischemic episodes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An imaging system for white light and fluorescence endoscopy that includes an automatic gain control circuit 30 that adjusts the brightness of an image produced based on distribution of pixel intensities in one or more video frames. The magnitude of the image signals produced by a pair of high sensitivity imaging devices such as intensified CCD transducers are compared to a number of reference thresholds. A time-over-threshold counter (112) determines the number of pixels in the image signals having magnitudes greater than or less than the reference thresholds. The distribution of pixel intensities is supplied to a decision tree algorithm (116) that determines whether the gain of the-intensified CCD transducers (44a, 44b) used to produced the autofluorescence images or the intensity of the excitation light produced by a light source (36) should be increased or decreased. In addition, a mode switch mechanism is provided to change rapidly from the fluorescence imaging mode to the white light imaging mode or vice versa. This mechanism includes provisions to prevent the accidental application of reflected white illumination light to the image-intensified CCD transducers. Proximity switches (192, 194) monitor the position of a light directing mechanism such as a mirror (186) to allow light to pass to fluorescence camera head (42) or to a color video camera head (46). The light source is not switched to produce white light until it is known that the mirror is in position to direct the reflected light to the color video camera head. Finally, the present invention produces a quantitative display of the relative intensities of the autofluorescence light produced in a pair of spectral bands.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing tissue from a volume surrounding a region of interest with a body part of a patient is disclosed. The tissue removal volume and location is determined by stereotactic radiography. The size of the tissue removal volume surrounding the region of interest is derived by placing boundaries around the region of interest in each stereotactic radiographic image. A tissue removal tool is moved within the derived tissue removal volume. The tissue in the region of interest which has been previously diagnosed as cancerous can be marked with a radioactive isotope, for example, and the removal of such tissue from the removal volume which surrounds the region of interest can be monitored to determine whether the tissue in the region of interest has been completely removed.

Abstract: A demodulator operates in a multipath (ISI) channel carrying transmitted symbols. The demodulator receives a signal representing a transmitted sequence, and develops an output sample at a select sampling phase corresponding to a synchronization point. Plural hypothetical samples representing plural hypothetical sequences are generated. The output sample is compared to the plural hypothetical samples to determine plural metrics and develop an original estimate of each transmitted sequence based on the hypothetical sequence producing a best metric. The hypothetical samples are compared to the received sample taken at an early sampling phase in advance of the select sampling phase and to the received sample at a late sampling phase delayed from the select sampling phase to determine if a second estimate of the transmitted symbol produces a better metric than the original estimate, and in response to the second estimate producing a better metric adjusting the synchronization point.
