Abstract: A method and device are provided for determining an optimized scale factor to be applied to an excitation signal or a filter during a process for frequency band extension of an audio frequency signal. The band extension process includes decoding or extracting, in a first frequency band, an excitation signal and parameters of the first frequency band including coefficients of a linear prediction filter, generating an excitation signal extending over at least one second frequency band, filtering using a linear prediction filter for the second frequency band. The determination method includes determining an additional linear prediction filter, of a lower order than that of the linear prediction filter of the first frequency band, the coefficients of the additional filter being obtained from the parameters decoded or extracted from the first frequency band and calculating the optimized scale factor as a function of at least the coefficients of the additional filter.

Patent CA-2925924-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCEATS MARK
IPC: C01F5/16
Filed: 2014-10-15
Abstract: A method of manufacture of high solids hydroxide slurries from caustic calcined carbonate powder is described, whereby the properties of the slurry are its low resistance to shear thinning to facilitate transport, and a high stability for transport and storage, and ease of reconstitution after long periods of storage, and, as required, a high concentration of chemically reactive species at the particle surface. The method achieves these specifications by mixing caustic calcined carbonate or hydroxide powder with water in an insulated reactor vessel, and agitating the slurry sufficiently such that the hydration reaction causes the water to spontaneously boil, such that the remaining hydration proceeds spontaneously under the fixed conditions of boiling through the water loss. The mixing process is preferably carried out by a shear pump. A viscosity modifier, such as acetic acid, is used to thin the slurry to enable the mixing system to maintain uniform mixing. The reaction is terminated when the boiling has spontaneously ceased and the temperature has spontaneously dropped to a set point though the reactor heat losses, where the processing time is sufficiently long that the slurry meets the desired specifications.

Title: Electricity-generating apparatus
Inventor: WANG SU CHIN
IPC: H02K1/12
Filed: 2016-04-06
Abstract: An electricity-generating apparatus includes a base, a shaft to which the base is rotatably connected, and an electricity-generating unit. The electricity-generating unit includes a plurality of rotors, magnetically permeable plates, and stators, the first two of which are fixed to the base while the last of which are fixed to the shaft.  The rotors, the magnetically permeable plates, and the stators are sequentially arranged in the order of:  magnetically permeable plate, stator, rotor, stator, and magnetically permeable plate. Each rotor is provided with plural neodymium magnets. Thanks to the magnetic permeability of the magnetically permeable plates, the lines of magnetic force between the neodymium magnets and the magnetically permeable plates are distributed in a concentrated manner.  The magnetically permeable plates also help reduce the number of neodymium magnets by replacing rotors which are otherwise required, allowing the electricity-generating apparatus to have a higher price-performance ratio than a prior art counterpart.

Title: Optimized flow control device properties for accumulated gas injection
Inventor: FILIPPOV ANDREY
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2014-10-10
Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and computer program product are provided for determining flow control device (FCD) properties for a gas injection well that would yield a prescribed shape of a gas injection front according to a target gas injection profile. An FCD distribution function is adjusted based on the results of a simulation of injected gas flow distribution in the gas injection well over a period of time. The simulation and resulting adjustment of the FCD distribution function is repeated until a convergence between a shape of a displaced oil volume front obtained using the adjusted flow control device distribution function and a target gas injection profile is reached within a predetermined convergence range. The FCD properties are then determined based on the adjusted FCD distribution function.

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements in a power lawn mower for mowing lawns or cutting vegetation. More specifically, it has reference to lawn mowers of the so called rotary type having cutter blades which revolve about vertical axes. Mowers of the kind particularly referred to are ordinarily provided with supporting wheels respectively at opposite sides and ends of the mower deck As a consequence of this usual disposal of the wheels, the mowers could not be used for cutting close to fences, walls or to the edges of flower beds and such, and when one or more wheels drops over an edge of lawn the blade is lowered becomes angled and 'scalps' the area and further the front wheels also detrimentally compact the grass before the blade has a chance to cut it making for uneven cuts.  The present invention relates to improvements in a power lawn mower for mowing lawns or cutting vegetation to overcome these limitations.
