Abstract: Tool rolls and methods of using the tool rolls to manufacture articles with one or more structured surfaces are disclosed. The tool rolls include an outer surface that, when used in connection with materials of the proper viscosity or formability, can form a structured surface on an article. Because the tools are manufactured in roll-form, they can be advantageously used in continuous manufacturing processes. Alternatively, discrete articles may be processed using the tool rolls. The tool rolls are constructed of a cylindrical base roll and are wrapped with one or more continuous wires in a modified undulating helical pattern. The modified helical pattern results in the distance between the first wire and a reference plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base roll sequentially increasing and decreasing at least once when moving in one direction about a circumference of the base roll. The wires are used, in essence, to form a structured surface on the tool roll that is the negative of the structured surface to be formed on the articles processed using the tool roll. One or more of the wires wound around the base roll may include a plurality of voids formed therein that, when wound about the base roll, form a plurality of mold cavities on the outer surface of the tool roll. Alternatively, the helical pattern of one or more wound wires may be used to form a continuous helical structured surface, e.g., a helical groove or grooves.

Abstract: An audio encoder converts an input sound signal into
a plurality of compressed frame data pieces in an sound
signal compression coder, determines the importance of each
bit in a classification unit of a transmission line coder
based on the decoding quality in the presence of a
transmission error, and classifies the bits into a
plurality of classes. The audio encoder selects one of the
three types of processing including convolution coding and
addition of CRC check codes, convolution coding only, and
no coding, in descending order of importance in the
presence of a transmission error for each class. Then, the
audio encoder adds preamble information and a
synchronization signal in a multiplexer to generate a bit
stream. It becomes possible to suppress degradation of a
decoded sound signal without additional redundant bits.

back and forth. In one embodiment, the stem (1) is welded to an interface
(4) which in turn is welded to an external surface of a steering shaft
collar. Also, the pin (2) is provided with a retractable head (6) which
is biased toward the steering shaft (A) by a compression spring (7).
The interface (4) provides adaption of the mechanical device to different

Abstract: A high shear ball check valve device is provided and is suitable for
use in a liquid ink image producing machine to quickly and precisely control flow
of liquid ink. The high shear ball check valve device includes a valve housing
defining a valve chamber. The valve chamber has a desired cross-dimension,
an inlet end, and an outlet end. The high shear ball check valve device also
includes an inlet member that is connected to the inlet end of the valve housing
and has an inlet opening and a ball seat and seal portion surrounding the inlet
opening. The ball seat and seal portion has a desired first durometer hardness
value. The high shear ball check valve device next includes a valve ball having a
desired diameter and being located movably within the valve chamber, and an
outlet opening located at the outlet end of the valve chamber. The outlet
opening has a rectangular shape, and a size that is slightly greater than the
diameter of the valve ball, for creating a backward fluid flow pattern that results in
relatively high shear stress on the valve ball. The relatively high shear stress
thereby quickly moves the valve ball away from the outlet opening and back
