Title: Method and device for orienting individual fibres and/or filaments present in a web
Inventor: BATHELIER XAVIER
IPC: D04B39/00
Filed: 2000-07-12
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for obtaining adequate orientation of elements constituting a web, such as fibres and/or filaments, for example derived from a card, characterized in that it consists in: subjecting the fibre to a pre-looping step produced by the interpenetration of a first set of looping discs (11) borne on a common transverse shaft (10) and continuously driven in rotation at a first speed (V1), and of a first set of fixed looping elements (12), the set of looping discs (11) and the set of looping elements (12) having a predetermined gauge (j) so as to cause the fibres and/or filaments to be pre-looped with an undulating value or interval (j), retaining with blocking means said fibres and/or filaments at regular intervals by a length (nxj) where n is an integer ranging between 2 and 20; allowing the pre-looped fibres and/or filaments to expand so as to produce large undulations having an undulating value or interval (nxj); and spreading by simple drawing the pre-looped fibres and/or filaments over an undulation value or interval (nxj). The present invention also concerns a device for implementing said method.

Title: Computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation for codingmethod and apparatus
Inventor: DAVIDSON GRANT ALLEN
IPC: G10L19/035
Filed: 1994-07-18
Abstract: The invention relates in general to low bit-rate encoding and decoding of information such as audio information. More particularly, the invention relates to computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation and quantization of encoded information useful in high-quality low bit-rate coding systems. In audio applications, a digital split-band encoder splits an input signal into frequency subband signals having bandwidths commensurate with the critical bandwidths of the human auditory system, quantizes the subband signals according to values established by an allocation function, and assembles the quantized subband signals into an encoded signal. The allocation function establishes allocation values in accordance with psychoacoustic principles with allowance for decoding synthesis filter bank spectral distortions. In one embodiment, an allocation function establishes allocation values using a psychoacoustic masking threshold generated by estimating the power spectral density (PSD) of the input signal, generating an excitation pattern by applying a basilar-membrane spreading function to the PSD, adjusting the excitation pattern by an amount equal to a sensitivity function which specifies a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sufficient to achieve psychoacoustic masking, comparing the level of the adjusted pattern to the threshold of hearing and generating the psychoacoustic masking threshold which is equal to the larger of the two. An allocation function may allow for decoder synthesis filter bank spectral distortions in any of a number of ways such as by adapting the sensitivity function.

Patent AU-7503491-A (AU)
Title: Dual system using three electrodes to treat fluid
Inventor: IBBOTT JACK KENNETH
IPC: C02F1/48
Filed: 1991-04-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. Positive (1) and negative (2) electrodes of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart and electrically isolated from one another so that the only electroconductive connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes (1,2) is established by fluid to be treated flowing between the electrodes. Such fluid is therefore ionized which will both prevent the precipitation of solids from the fluid which would tend to form a scale on the inner surface of piping through which the fluid flows, and aid in the removal of a previously formed scale. A third electrode (3) is also provided so as to be electroconductively connected with the positive electrode (1) but electrically isolated from the negative electrode (2). Therefore, the third electrode (3) will release metal ions into the fluid. These ions will inhibit the release of compounds into the fluid having a principal element that is the same as that of the metal ions released by the electrode (3). In such a way, the fluid can also be treated to inhibit a particular compound, to which the fluid might be exposed, from dissolving into the fluid. <IMAGE>
