Patent EP-0823712-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JACKSON ROLAND OTTO
IPC: G21C7/36
Filed: 1997-08-08
Abstract: The present invention, in one aspect, is a method for identifying an
optimum control blade positioning arrangement. The method generally has
an initialization phase (100) and a running, or search, phase (200). In the
initialization phase (100), an initial control blade positioning arrangement is
identified (108). Once the initial control blade positioning arrangement is
identified, such arrangement is then optimized, within the defined
constraints, in the running phase (200). More specifically, in the running
phase, each control blade position is analyzed to determine whether the
control blade position can be changed from the initial position to either
satisfy a constraint (206) or optimize cycle energy, or both. 
     The invention also includes a system for
carrying out the method.

Abstract: La présente invention consiste en une méthode améliorée d'estimation et de correction du paramètre de hauteur de son par procédé de corrélation. Selon cette méthode, on calcule d'abord la corrélation pour une trame de forme du signal vocal et l'on obtient un ou plusieurs pics de corrélation pour les nombres respectifs d'échantillons de délai. Au stade suivant, le synthétiseur vocal compare un ou plusieurs pics de corrélation à la valeur de seuil de la régulation de niveau. Si un pic unique situé à l'endroit Pd dépasse le seuil de régulation de niveau, le synthétiseur vocal procède à un calcul supplémentaire pour s'assurer que ce pic unique de corrélation ne représente pas un multiple, deuxième ou supérieur, de la hauteur correcte du son. Dans la version préférée, le synthétiseur vocal part du principe que le pic situé à l'endroit Pd est un deuxième multiple de la hauteur correcte du son; le synthétiseur vocal cherche alors la hauteur correcte du son à l'endroit du premier multiple du pic Pd. S'il trouve le pic à l'endroit de ce premier multiple, désigné par Pd', et que certains autres critères sont respectés, alors, le pic à l'endroit Pd' est considéré comme celui de la hauteur correcte du son. Dans ce cas, la hauteur du son est réglée en fonction du nombre des échantillons de délai indiqués par Pd'. Cela permet à la présente invention d'éviter avec plus de précision les faux pics que représentent les multiples, deuxième ou supérieur, de la hauteur correcte du son.

Date Oct. 23, 1997A shell-firing barrel weapon system for a single shot, semi-automatic or fully automatic firing, including a rifled barrel comprising a programming member for programming with programming pulses fuses in shells fired from the weapon before or in conjunction with firing of the shells. At least one contact is located in the barrel of the weapon and connected to the programming member for transmitting a programming pulse from the programming member to the fuses of the shells. The at least one contact is electrically insulated from the barrel and protrudes into the barrel beyond bars of rifling of the barrel. An electrically conductive contact ring is concentrically arranged on the shells. The contact ring is electrically insulated from main parts of the shells and has an external diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the bars of the rifling of the barrel. The contact ring is positioned on the shells such that when the shell is located in a cartridge chamber of the weapon the contact ring directly contacts the contact device. Electric feedback of a programming pulse from the programming member takes place via contact between the main parts of the shells and an inside of the barrel of the weapon.

IPC: C07C323/52

Abstract: A photoactivatable reagent useful as a chain transfer reagent for providing a semitelechelic polymer having one or more terminal photoactivatable groups. The reagent provides one or more photoactivatable groups and one or more sulfhydryl (or other chain transfer) groups, the photoactivatable and chain transfer groups optionally being joined together by a spacer group. The reagent can be used to prepare a polymer by serving to initiate the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The reagent itself becomes an integral part of the resultant polymer, thereby providing the polymer with a terminal photoactivatable nature. The method provides a number of benefits, including the ability to provide homogeneous photoactivatable polymer compositions, e.g., in terms of the uniform location of the photogroup(s) on the terminal portion of each polymer molecule and the ability to build a desired nonpolar quality, and in turn improved surfactancy, into otherwise polar polymers.

Abstract: Lipophilic substances of poor oral bioavailability are mixed with at least one solid fat and phospholipid to obtain a dried solid composition suitable as an oral dosage form. The solid lipid compositions are exemplified for food additives or dietary supplements such as Coenzyme Q10 and for pharmaceuticals such as dexanabinol. The Coenzyme Q10-dry lipid mixtures shows improved drug release in vitro and enhanced oral bioavailability in vivo compared to a commercial CoQ10 formulation. The dexanabinol-dry lipid mixture similarly shows greatly enhanced oral bioavailability compared to known formulations.

Abstract: A process for preparing 1,2- and 1,3-dinitrate esters from polyols containing 1,2- or 1,3-diol fragments involves using an alkyl or aryl boronic acid to form a cyclic boronate ester derivative which is then reacted with dinitrogen pentoxide to directly generate the dinitrate ester. In the cyclic ester form the 1,2- or 1,3-hydroxyl groups are protected and other reactions may then be carried out on other parts of the molecule of which the fragment forms a part, leaving the dinitrate ester to be produced subsequently in the final step. High yields are obtained at both stages.
