Patent DE-69526349-T2 (DE)

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for accessing customer meters and for controlling customer devices over a telephone line. A connection using only a single distinctive brief burst of power ringing or tone is established over a customer line between a central office and customer station equipment to alert both the customer and the customer premises equipment (CPE) or a short burst of tone to alert the CPE. The connection is between a data accessing device such as a meter reading controller and a customer premises device such as a meter interface unit. Signals are exchanged over the connection between these two units without alerting the customer via a ringing signal and without changing the supervisory state of the customer's station equipment from on-hook. The connection can also be used for controlling devices such as air conditioning units, in order, for example, to avoid overloads in a power distribution system. The voice switching network of the central office is used for making the connection between the meter control unit and the meter interface unit. Advantageously, this arrangement can allow a large number of utility meters and controlling devices to be accessed remotely using existing telephone plant. The short distinctive burst of power ringing or tone alert may be used to alert the customer premises equipment (CPE), the customer telephone, or both.

Abstract: A high-speed out-of-band signalling technique for transferring information such as station status information between stations in a communication network, typically a local-area network, involves sequentially generating a plurality of n-bit sequence segments, where n is at least 3. Each bit is either a first binary value or a second binary value. Each sequence segment is coded with one of a plurality of different n-bit code groups divided into a first code group and a set of second code groups. The n bits in the first code group are all the first binary value-e.g., all "1s". None of the second code groups contain a pair of non-contiguous bits of the second binary value-e.g., none of the second code groups contains two "0s" separated by at least one other bit. The sequence segments are outputted in the order that they were generated to produce a special bit sequence which carries the desired information. The station status information typically includes configuration capability, flow control parameters, and integrity control parameters.

Abstract: A method of plasma etching a gate stack on silicon with a chlorine-containing plasma precursor gas in a vacuum chamber fitted with an electrically conductive planar coil disposed outside the chamber and adjacent to a dielectric window mounted in a wall of the chamber, the conductive planar coil coupled to a first radiofrequency source that matches the impedance of the source to the coil, and a second radiofrequency source coupled to a substrate support mounted in the chamber in a direction parallel to the planar coil which comprises limiting the power during etching to 0-200 watts from the first radiofrequency source and to 50-200 watts from the second radiofrequency source. The resultant etch is anisotropic, and avoids charging of the substrate to be etched. When the gate stack comprises conductive polysilicon, the preferred plasma precursor etch gas is a mixture of hydrogen chloride and chlorine, when a highly selective etch is obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method and data processing system for determining the type, the number and the volume of financial instruments for funding of a loan with an interest rate adjustment with an equivalent proceeds to a debtor, the loan being at least partially refinanced during the remaining term to maturity of the loan. In the data processing system, data are loaded, which data indicate the principal of the loan, the term to maturity of the loan, the profile of repayment, and a desired/intended profile of refinancing. Furthermore, data are loaded, which data indicate requirements as to maximum difference in proceeds, maximum difference interest rate, and maximum difference in balance between on the one side the creditor and on the other side the debtor. On the basis of these data as well as a first guess at an interest rate, the volume of a number of financial instruments to be applied for funding of the loan is calculated. The results of the calculations can be applied by the debtor, for instance a financial institution such as a mortgage credit institution, to secure that the loan is funded in such a way that interest rate risks such as imbalance in the payment flow is avoided or minimized. By applying the results of the method according to the invention, the creditor has the possibility of creating a hedge between lending and funding.

Abstract: This invention describes a practical application of noise reduction in hearing aids. Although listening in noisy conditions is difficult for persons with normal hearing, hearing impaired individuals are at a considerable further disadvantage. Under light noise condition, conventional hearing aids simplify the input signal sufficiently to overcome the hearing loss. For a typical sloping hearing loss where there is a loss in high frequency hearing sensitivity, the amount of boost (or gain) rises with frequency. Most frequently, the loss in sensitivity is only for low-level signals; high level signals are affective minimally or not at all. A compression hearing aid is able to compensate by automatically lowering the gain as the input signal level rises. This compression action is usually compromised under noisy conditions. In general, hearing aids are of lesser benefit under noisy conditions since both noise and speech are boosted together when what is really required is a reduction of the noise relative to the speech. A noise reduction algorithm with the dual purpose of enhancing speech relative to noise and also providing a relatively clean signal for the compression circuitry is described. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A silicone oil-in-water emulsion containing a linear non-crosslinked silicone copolymer is prepared by polymerizing an OH endblocked polydiorganosiloxane with an amine functional trialkoxysilane in the presence of a metal catalyst. However, the polymerization is interrupted by the emulsification of this copolymer, and a carboxylic anhydride is added prior to the emulsification. The resulting emulsions are particularly useful in most personal care applications, and they also have value in textile fibre treatment, leather lubrication, fabric softening, as release agents, in water based coatings, for oil drag reduction, lubrication, and for the facilitation of cutting of cellulose materials.

Abstract: The invention relates primarily to a process for making a cartridge for dispensing flowable material such as liquids, solutions, dispersions, suspensions, gels and pastes, while maintaining the sterility and integrity of the flowable material. The process includes molding a housing (12) of a rigid and inert material, the housing having an outlet port (58). Further, a delivery block (30) is molded with at least two asymmetrical components to give a parting line on the delivery block and an internal channel (34, 40, 42) connecting an inlet (32) and outlets (36, 38). The next step in the process is the molding of an elastomeric sheath (44), the sheath having two asymmetrical components to give a parting line on the sheath. The sheath is placed over the delivery block to envelope the delivery block and to cover the outlet of the delivery block and then the sheath covered delivery block is placed in the housing so that in use an outlet valve (56) of the sheath directs the flowable material through the housing outlet port (58). The sheath and the delivery block have contact surfaces in contact with each other but the parting lines of both the delivery block and the sheath are on non-contact surfaces so that the parting lines are away from any smooth and sealing surfaces to ensure that in use the flowable material is not contaminated. <IMAGE>
