Abstract: A method and apparatus for the use of heat taken up at low temperature is disclosed wherein a flow of transfer medium is passed through a low temperature heat source to absorb heat. The flow then passes through multiple, sequential stages of a heat pump which successively increase in temperature whereby the flow picks up heat. The flow then releases heat to the heat receiver and subsequently passes through multiple sequential degassing stages of the heat pump. The flow releases evaporation heat and is cooled to a suitable temperature for use in the low temperature heat source. The heat pump preferably includes a two substance mixture provided within a two portion, hermetically sealed chamber.

Abstract: A device for removing noxious substances in the smoke of tobacco in a cigarette holder or pipe, including cooling fins (2) formed on the outer periphery thereof, a front flue portion (9) for accomodating a fibrous substance (4) such as tissue paper or the like therein, and a metallic cylinder (3) having a cooling chamber of an inner diameter larger than that of the flue portion (9). The device is telescopically inserted into a mouthpiece (1), and is adapted to abruptly cool tobacco smoke owing to the cooperative action of heat dissipation by the cooling fins and the adiabatic expansion of the smoke upon flowing into the cooling chamber from the flue portion. As a result, noxious substances in the smoke, such as nicotine and tar, are condensed and allowed to adhere to the fibrous substance in the cooling chamber for effective removal.

Abstract: Un système insensible à des signaux non vocaux utilise une paire de microphones séparés dans l'espace (101, 102) pour obtenir la direction de l'origine de signaux vocaux provenant d'une source sonore commune. Les signaux vocaux provenant de chaque microphone sont transformés (330, 340, 350, 355, 360, 365, 370, 375) en des signaux impulsionnels présentant un accroissement rapide en réponse à des crêtes d'énergie dans le volume de la source de signaux.
