Title: Network echo canceller
Inventor: SIH GILBERT C
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 1993-09-24
Granted: 1995-06-15
Abstract: An echo canceller and method for cancelling in a return channel signal an echoed receive channel signal where the echoed receive channel signal is combined by an echo channel with an input return channel signal. The echo canceller has a first filter which generates first filter coefficients, generates a first echo estimate signal with the first filter coefficients, and updates the first filter coefficients in response to a first filter control signal. A first summer subtracts the first echo estimate signal from a combined return channel and echo receive channel signal to generate a first echo residual signal. A second filter generates second filter coefficients, generates a second echo estimate signal with the second filter coefficients, and updates the second filter coefficients in response to a second filter control signal. A second summer subtracts the second echo estimate signal from the combined signal to generate a second echo residual signal, and provides upon the return channel the second echo residual signal. A control unit determines from the receive channel signal, the combined signal, and the first and second echo residual signals, one of a plurality of control states wherein a first control state is indicative of a receive channel signal above a first predetermined energy level, wherein when the control unit is in the first control state it generates the first control signal and generates the second control signal when at least one of a first energy ratio of the first echo residual signal and the combined signal and a second energy ratio of the second echo residual signal and the combined signal exceed a predetermined level. <IMAGE>

Title: Device and process for monitoring material flow, and use of the process
Inventor: GMUER BRUNO
IPC: G01G13/20
Filed: 1991-01-30
Granted: 1993-09-16
Abstract: The invention concerns a continuous mixing and homogenization unit for, in particular, mill products. The system ensures in particular that all the raw materials are mixed together simultaneously in a pre-mixing chamber (8) in order that the subsequent homogenization takes place continuously to the highest specifications. The raw-material  weighing device (4) used, as well as the worm conveyor (25) for removal of material from the weighing device, are designed as substantially tube-shaped units and together form a differential throughput-control system (6). Throughout the whole system, the inside wall in contact with the material is thus tubular and subject to a continuous cleaning action by virtue of the movement of the material. It is also possible to use several weighing devices (4) located symetrically round a collection point (17), for different components. The quality of mixing is extremely high.

Title: Drug delivery PTCA catheter and method
Inventor: GOODIN RICHARD L
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1994-10-14
Granted: 1997-10-23
Abstract: An intravascular material delivery dilation catheter having a pair of longitudinally spaced inflatable balloons with a drug delivery region defined therebetween. The catheter is ideally suited for use after a PTCA procedure, wherein the proximate balloon seals the blood vessel while the distal balloon is uniquely contoured when inflated to define fluid communication paths therepast and proximate a blood vessel to be treated. The distal balloon, when inflated, has four lobes but could also be textured. Each lobe is separated from the next by a groove, which groove in combination with the blood vessel inner wall forms a fluid communication path therebetween. Upon inflation of both balloons in a blood vessel, a medicament such as heparin can be injected, via the drug delivery region between the inflated balloons, wherein the medicament flows past the distal balloon at a selected rate. Accordingly, a medicament can be injected directly to a treatment site rather than injected as a bolus dose, thus, a smaller dosage may be employed to minimize side effects. Alternatively, perfusion can be accomplished by only partially inflating the proximate balloon to constrict flow therepast, or eliminating the proximate balloon entirely, where the drug delivery region is disposed upstream of the contoured distal balloon.

Title: Prepn. of polyhydroxyphenylchromones - - stabilising agents for cytometabolism
IPC: A61K36/28
Filed: 1969-05-06
Abstract: Preparing polyhydroxyphenylchromones from the dried fruits of Silybum marianum Gaertn by removing the larger part of the fatty oils by submitting the fruit to elevated pressure, pref. in helicoid presses and extracting the residue with ethyl acetate. After removing the solvent, the residue is portioned repeatedly between the phases of a solvent system of aqs. methanol/petrol ether to give a final product contng. 70-80% active components. Crystallisation after treatment with active carbon gives then pure silymarin I. Silymarin is a protecting agent and stabilising agent for intracellular biomembranes where cytometabolism takes place. The process is much shorter and economical than existing ones, by eliminating the larger part of fatty oils before extraction. The process gives a high yield of good purity.

Title: Aperture control for preset aperture - with pivoted double armed release lever to provide constant shutter release travel
IPC: G03B9/07
Filed: 1969-11-13
Abstract: In SLR cameras where the exposure reading is taken at maximum aperture the shutter release moves the aperture setting ring to the preset value before opening the shutter. This can lead to different lengths of shutter release travel, especially for cable releases. The invention provides a double armed release lever which is pivotted on the same pivot as an aperture setting lever whose movement is determined by the position of a cam on the aperture setting ring. The release pad of the double armed lever is moved for the same distance at every exposure no matter what the aperture setting.
