Abstract: A system for providing a talk-over functionality from an attendant to a hearing aid user comprises a hearing aid (4), a link device (5) connected to the hearing aid (4), a computer (7) with a talk-over microphone (9), and a communications link (6) linking the computer (7) to the link device (5), the hearing aid user, the hearing aid (4), and the link device (5) being positioned in a sound-proof box (1). The computer (7) is adapted for receiving signals from the microphone (9), and for executing audio processing software for processing the microphone signals for converting them into compressed, digital audio signals and transmitting these signals via the communications link (6) to the link device (5). The link device (5) is adapted for decompressing the received signals and converting them into audio signals to be served to the hearing aid (4) in real-time. The system enables an attendant or a hearing aid fitter to talk to a hearing aid user via the communications link (6). This may, for instance, be useful when the hearing aid user is acoustically isolated from the fitter during fitting of the hearing aid (4). The invention provides a system and a method for providing a talk-over functionality.

Le coeur de guide d'onde comprend une couche centrale de guide d'onde (113a) s'étendant sensiblement en co-extension vers la couche de revêtement inférieure et ayant une épaisseur (t) sensiblement uniforme, et une nervure du coeur de guide d'onde (113b), d'une hauteur sensiblement uniforme (h-t), saillant d'une surface de la couche centrale de guide d'onde opposée à une surface de celle-ci regardant la couche de revêtement. Un tracé de la nervure du coeur de guide d'onde définit un chemin du champ optique guidé. La structure de guide d'onde optique intégré comprend une partie guide d'onde pour circuit (117a) dans laquelle la couche centrale de guide d'onde a une première largeur (W0), destinée à guider le champ optique à travers un circuit optique, et au moins une partie guide d'onde de couplage (101) destinée à coupler la partie guide d'onde pour circuit à un champ optique externe. La partie couplage comprend une partie nervure du coeur de guide d'onde terminal (117c) ayant une seconde largeur (W) inférieure à la première largeur et se terminant en facette (119), et une partie nervure du coeur de guide d'onde de transition (117b) reliant optiquement la partie guide d'onde pour circuit à la partie guide d'onde terminal ; la partie nervure du coeur de guide d'onde de transition est latéralement conique, de sorte qu'une largeur de celle-ci diminue de la première à la seconde largeur. La structure de guide d'onde permet à un concepteur de dispositif optique intégré de répondre aux exigences de circuits optiques et, parallèlement, d'assurer une efficacité de couplage satisfaisante avec un champ externe.

Abstract: To the outlet, inlet and/or access openings of a coking drum (3, 4), a pipe-bridging slide-plate valve is fitted as a shut-off valve (11). Valve closure plates (27, 28) have mutually-parallel, solid metal, sealing seats (24, 25) which seal against surfaces with hard cladding, made from wear- and corrosion-resistant material. The plates both move inside a spectacle casing. A pipe bridging section unites two pipe sections (22, 23) in the open position, one leading to the interior of the coking drum. The bridging section is a hollow circular cylinder with smooth internal surface. It is hard-plated internally to resist wear and corrosion, or is hardened. The valve closure plates are pressed onto the sealing surfaces in the closed position, by a ball-centered wedge section. A guide plate (45) associated with the valve closure plates is in constant metallic contact with the valve casing. The valve operating rod is sealed to slide in an out of the casing. A gas pressurization connection (44) is provided for the rod sealing chamber, this supplies sealing- or flushing gas. A drive actuator mounting is provided. Wear compensation is provided in the open position of the valve, by a wavy- or bellows-type type tube section, which fits around the pipe bridging section; it is fixed to one ring, but has axial freedom of motion w.r.t the other. An independent claim is included for the corresponding coking process.

Abstract: In a metal film production apparatus, a copper plate member
is etched with a Cl 2  gas plasma within a chamber to form
a precursor comprising a Cu component and a Cl 2  gas; and
the temperatures of the copper plate member and a substrate
and a difference between their temperatures are controlled
as predetermined, to deposit the Cu component of the
precursor on the substrate, thereby forming a film of Cu.
In this apparatus, Cl *  is formed in an excitation chamber
of a passage communicating with the interior of the chamber
to flow a Cl 2  gas, and the Cl *  is supplied into the chamber
to withdraw a Cl 2  gas from the precursor adsorbed onto the
substrate, thereby promoting a Cu film formation reaction.
The apparatus has a high film formation speed, can use an
inexpensive starting material, and can minimize impurities
remaining in the film.
