Abstract: A fire-resisting composite glass is comprised of at least two glass plates ( 1, 2 ) and an interspaced cavity ( 6 ). The distance between the glass plates ( 1, 2 ) is determined by an encompassing bead ( 3 ) of plastic spacer material. In addition, in the margin region between the glass plates ( 1, 2 ) a bead ( 4 ) of sealing material is introduced. With the aid of at least one core element an opening is formed in the bead ( 3 ) of spacer material for filling the cavity ( 6 ). After the filling, this opening is closed with an entrainer stopper and simultaneously the cavity ( 6 ) is vented. During the closing the plastic spacer material ( 3 ) is joined again in the region of the opening and subsequently the entrainer stopper is covered with sealing material ( 4 ). The method and the device for carrying out the method permits the automatic application of encompassing beads ( 3, 4 ) of spacer material or of sealing material as well as the sealing and protection of the margin regions before the cavity ( 6 ) is filled.

Abstract: Mechanical controls for continuously varying the length of the stroke of the valves in an internal-combustion engine and for maintaining the valves constantly closed while the engine is in operation while simultaneously varying how long the valve or valves remain open, whereby the valves are actuated by rocker levers that are in turn actuated by an angled lever, whereby the positions of the levers are varied in order to vary the length and duration of the stroke. The valves are actuated at low engine speeds by assigning a specific narrow angle of rotation to each abbreviated stroke to be established. FIG. 1 illustrates valve stroke controls with an angled lever ( 2 ) actuated by a cam ( 17 ) mounted on a lateral roller ( 3 ). In the event of a misalignment, a planetary gear comes into play, wherein a roller ( 9 ), mounted on the rocker lever ( 8 ) that actuates the valve ( 1 ) acts a sun wheel, the angled lever ( 2 ) acts as a planet wheel, and a setting lever ( 5 ) acts as a planet bearing.

Abstract: An audio encoder and decoder use architectures and techniques that improve the efficiency of quantization (e.g., weighting) and inverse quantization (e.g., inverse weighting) in audio coding and decoding. The described strategies include various techniques and tools, which can be used in combination or independently. For example, an audio encoder quantizes audio data in multiple channels, applying multiple channel-specific quantizer step modifiers, which give the encoder more control over balancing reconstruction quality between channels. The encoder also applies multiple quantization matrices and varies the resolution of the quantization matrices, which allows the encoder to use more resolution if overall quality is good and use less resolution if overall quality is poor. Finally, the encoder compresses one or more quantization matrices using temporal prediction to reduce the bitrate associated with the quantization matrices. An audio decoder performs corresponding inverse processing and decoding.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for smoothing the surface of an object built from a polymeric or wax material using a layered manufacturing rapid prototyping technique. After the object is built it is exposed to a vaporized solvent such as in a vaporizer for an exposure time sufficient to reflow the object surface. A solvent is chosen based on its ability to transiently soften the material which forms the object, and thereafter evaporate off the object. The object is removed from the solvent and allowed to dry, producing a smooth finished part.
