Abstract: The cable consists of a number of sections (1A,1B) linked in pairs, each section having three conductors (2A,2B;3A,3B) connected to one another by metal tips (13A,14A) on one section engaging with cylindrical ends on the adjacent sections containing inner contacts (17A,17B). Each of the metal tips (13A,14A) is covered by an insulating sleeve (21,22) which is twice as long as its diameter and makes contact with both the tip and the inner wall of a terminal section (2B',2B'). Each sleeve has an outer cylindrical surface and an inner cylindrical cavity with their axes set at an angle to one another corresponding to the relative angles of the tips and terminal sections, i.e. of the order of 3.2 degrees. The sleeves are made from an insulating material which can withstand a temperature of 110 degrees C. and is easily workable, such as polytetrafluoroethylene.

Abstract: An EAS marker assembly is a packaging and delivery method for large numbers of individual ferromagnetic EAS markers. The assembly is especially suited for use with an automated or semiautomated EAS marker insertion system. The EAS markers have an adhesive layer on each side to allow the markers to be attached between pages of a book. The assembly includes a plurality of markers carried by a differential release liner. The finished assembly can be in either a roll or stack form. When the roll assembly is rolled up, or when a plurality of sheets of markers are assembled in a stack, the easy release side of the differential release liner contacts one of the adhesive layers, and the tight release side of the liner contacts the adhesive layer on the other side of the marker. When the roll assembly in unrolled, or when individual layers are separated from the stack, the easy release side of the differential release liner detaches from its adhesive layer, while the tight release side remains attached to its adhesive layer. Thus, a layer of marker strips on top of a release liner is presented. The differential release liner allows the roll to be unrolled or the individual layers of markers to be separated from the stack while retaining the marker strips in position on the tight release side for automated pick-up and individual release of the strips by an automated insertion system.

Title: Process for encoding an audio signal digitalised at a low sampling frequency
Inventor: KUNZ OLIVER DIPL-ING
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 1997-02-19
Granted: 1998-12-02
Abstract: In a method for coding an audio signal digitized at a low sampling rate to obtain time domain audio samples. A frequency domain representation of the time domain audio samples is produced. The frequency domain representation includes successive frequency lines. These frequency lines are grouped into a plurality of scale factor bands. The successive frequency lines in a scale factor band are coded with the same scale factor. A plurality of regions is formed by grouping the scale factor bands, wherein successive scale factor bands form a region within which all the scale factors are coded with the same number of bits, which is determined according to the largest scale factor of the region. The scale factors assigned to scale factor bands within the highest region that includes the higher frequency successive frequency lines are set to zero. The frequency lines in the highest region are coded using the zero-valued scale factors that correspond to a multiplication factor of 1. The scale factors for the highest region, however, are not coded. Thus, the bits that would be required for coding these zero-valued scale factors are saved and can be used for a finer quantization of the rest of the spectrum. Additionally, this coding method when applied to ISO/IEC 13818-3 as a low sampling rate modification thereof only requires minimal changes with respect to this Standard.

Abstract: A method for detecting a leak in a resilient, semi-hard and hard package includes a test gas supplied to the package to subject the contents of the package to a first pressure. The package is then maintained for a predetermined time in a chamber having a gas pressure, and the presence of gas is detected in a measuring space in gas flow relationship with the chamber by a detection apparatus. In order for the method to be rapid enough to be suitable for detecting very small holes in packages and for use in production plants without a change in their operating rate, a hydrogen gas having a hydrogen gas concentration from 0.0001-6% by volume is used as the test gas supplied to the package, and the hydrogen gas concentration of the gas within the chamber is maintained below a reference concentration that is lower than the hydrogen gas concentration in the package immediately after the addition of hydrogen gas to the package. If hydrogen gas that has leaked outside the package into the chamber is detected and the package is considered defective, if the detected hydrogen gas content is higher by a predetermined value than the reference concentration after the predetermined time. The method also improves the shelf life of the quality of a product in the form of a foodstuff.

Abstract: The disclosed invention utilizes a dictionary-based approach to identify languages within different zones in a multi-lingual document. As a first step, a document image is segmented into various zones, regions and word tokens, using suitable geometric properties. Within each zone, the word tokens are compared to dictionaries associated with various candidate languages, and the language that exhibits the highest confidence factor is initially identified as the language of the zone. Subsequently, each zone is further split into regions. The language for each region is then identified, using the confidence factors for the words of that region. For any language determination having a low confidence value, the previously determined language of the zone is employed to assist the identification process.

Abstract: In the manufacture of multichamber tubular containers it has been found that the inner divider walls should be bonded to the exterior wall by means of a band sealing method. In the band sealing method there is a band that contacts the upper film and a band that contacts the lower film that are to be bonded. In the present processes the upper band contacts the inner divider wall while the lower band contacts the exterior surface of the outer wall of the tubular container. In order to prevent the marring or otherwise putting a defect into the exterior surface of the outer wall the temperature of the lower band is maintained at a lower temperature than the upper band. This will decrease the temperature of the exterior surface of the outer wall and prevent imperfections in the exterior surface of the outer wall. The advantage is a multichamber tubular container without any imperfections in the exterior surface. This enhances the overall appearance of the tubular container.
