Abstract: Coding systems that provide a perceptually improved approximation of the short-term
characteristics of speech signals compared to typical coding techniques such as
linear predictive analysis while maintaining enhanced coding efficiency. The invention
advantageously employs a non-linear transformation and/or a spectral warping process to
enhance particular short-term spectral characteristic information for respective voiced
intervals of a speech signal. The non-linear transformed and/or warped spectral
characteristic information is then coded, such as by linear predictive analysis to produce a
corresponding coded speech signal. The use of the non-linear transformation and/or
spectral warping operation of the particular spectral information advantageously causes
more coding resources to be used for those spectral components that contribute greater to
the perceptible quality of the corresponding synthesized speech. It is possible to employ
this coding technique in a variety of speech coding techniques including, for example,
vocoder and analysis-by-synthesis coding systems.

storage stability of a coating liquid for forming a
photosensitive layer of a photosensitive member for
electrophotography as well as to improve the electrophotography
properties of a photosensitive member produced by applying the
coating liquid. A photosensitive member for electrophotography
is produced by applying a coating liquid composition for a
photosensitive member for electrophotography prepared by
dissolving or dispersing an organic photoconductive compound and
a binder resin in a solvent, and further containing an aliphatic
unsaturated hydrocarbon on an electroconductive substrate (1),
and drying for forming a photosensitive layer (4, 7) on the
electroconductive substrate (1).

Abstract: To form an optical element (20), in particular an
interferometric sensor, an optical fiber (1) is placed
tangent to a cylindrical supporting element (2); a
straight portion (1a) of the optical fiber and the
supporting element are surface fused; and a cavity (26)

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of calibrating an optical system, the system comprising a flash lamp as a light source (4), a lens system (6), a monochromator comprising a grating (10), a motor (20) for displacing the grating so as to enable scanning essentially monochromatic light over a detection system. The light source provides at least two high intensity peaks at distinct wavelengths. The method comprises scanning a first wavelength region comprising at least one of said at least two high intensity peaks, and measuring the intensities at a selected number of points during the scan. A first of said at least two peaks is coarsely located. A wavelength region around each of said at least two peaks is scanned, measuring the intensities at closer intervals than previously. At least two peaks are located by autocorrelation. The location of said peaks is determined in terms of a distance from a reference point, said distance corresponding to said displacement of the grating.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de préparation de bâtonnets de pomme de terre semi-frits, surgelés qui possèdent une teneur en eau comprise entre 38 % environ et 58 % environ et conservent leur fraîcheur de goût après un stockage à environ 0 °F (-17,8°C). Ledit procédé consiste à peler, à ébarber et à couper les pommes de terre crues en bâtonnets, à les blanchir et à réduire la teneur en eau des bâtonnets de pomme de terre à une valeur égale ou supérieure à 60 % environ. On frit ensuite partiellement les bâtonnets de pomme de terre à teneur en eau réduite dans de l'huile à une température comprise entre 270 °F (132°C) environ et 335 °F (168,3°C) environ, pendant un laps de temps suffisant pour réduire la teneur en eau desdits bâtonnets à une valeur comprise entre 38 % environ et 58 % environ. Puis on surgèle ces bâtonnets de pommes de terre semi-frits. Les bâtonnets de pommes de terre semi-frits surgelés sont stables (c'est-à-dire qu'ils ne développent aucune saveur anormale) lorsqu'on les conserve à une température comprise entre 0 °F (-17,8°C) environ et 20 °F (-6,7°C) pendant au moins un mois. Lorsqu'on les cuit, ces pommes de terre frites ont une saveur améliorée en comparaison aux frites traditionnelles à cuisson au four.

Abstract: A programming circuit for an anti-fuse utilizes a boot circuit that charges a capacitor to the supply voltage during a non-programming period. Anti-fuse is to be programmed, the plate of the capacitor to which the supply voltage has been applied is switched to 0 volts, thereby causing the other plate of the capacitor to output a negative voltage. This negative voltage is switched to one plate of an anti-fuse, and the other plate of the anti-fuse receives a positive voltage from an external source. A voltage is thereby applied across the anti-fuse that is greater than any voltage applied to any node of the integrated circuit.
