Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensing device (10) for capturing acoustic heart sounds. The sensing device has a diaphragm (12) formed from a piezoelectric transducer material which generates excitation signals in response to acoustic and vibratory energy outputs. The sensing device includes metallization layers (14, 16) on the diaphragm for receiving and transmitting the excitation signals to an ouput display device via associated electrical contacts (18, 20) and electrical leads (24, 26) and also includes a layer of adhesive material (34) for coupling the sensing device to the subject. The sensing device further includes snap connectors (36, 38) for allowing the device to be quickly disengaged from electrical leads and discarded. A patch sensor device (62) is disclosed which enables acoustic outputs to be triangulated and pinpointed.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating process material includes a vessel into which process material can be introduced, an arrangement for introducing steam into the interior of the vessel to heat and impart moisture to process material in the vessel, and several fluid transport conduits extending helically through the vessel for conveying heated fluid through the vessel between opposite ends of the vessel in order to raise the temperature and pressure within the vessel to treat the material while also allowing the moisture content of the process material to be reduced. The fluid transport conduits are also configured to contact the process material and assist in treating and densifying the material. The vessel can also be adapted to be pivoted so that the forward end of the vessel can be selectively positioned above and below a horizontal position. The vessel can also be interconnected with one or more similarly configured vessels to define a system for treating process material. The system can include an arrangement that allows steam and heat from a hot vessel to be conveyed to a cold vessel. A method for treating process material can include introducing process material into two different vessels, raising the temperature within one of the vessels through the introduction of steam to heat the material in the vessel, and reducing the temperature in the one vessel while also increasing the temperature in the other vessel by venting the interior of the one vessel to the interior of the other vessel.

Abstract: Data loss is selectively tracked within a hierarchic data storage system (10) having multiple storage disks (12) that define a physical storage space (34). The physical storage space is mapped into a first virtual storage space (40) which presents the physical storage space as multiple RAID areas (42, 44) that store data according to various RAID levels, such as RAID Level 1 (mirror redundancy) or RAID Level 5 (parity redundancy). Individual RAID areas extend across multiple storage disks and include a region (35) of physical storage space on individual storage disks. The first virtual storage space (40) is mapped into a second virtual storage space (50) which presents the physical storage space as multiple virtual blocks. The RAID areas are monitored to detect data loss. Upon detecting data loss within a region of a RAID area, this first region is marked as invalid. Upon detecting data loss within a second region of the same RAID area, the data storage system will determine the extent of data loss. If the data loss is comparatively minor, the data storage system will identify the virtual block that is mapped onto the portion of the second region and mark it defective. The address of the virtual block is stored in a virtual data loss table (64) to indicate that data stored in that block is unreliable. If the data loss in the second region is significant, or if the virtual data loss table (64) becomes full, the data loss will cause the entire RAID area to be classified as "dead". <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing the parameters of a speech coder according to the quality of the transmission connection. The quality of the transmission connection is determined in a quality monitoring member (409) on the basis of erroneous/error-free classifications of single received frames so that for determining the quality of the transmission connection the classifications of single frames performed during several subsequent speech frames are scanned. On the basis of the quality of the transmission connection both the replacement procedure of erroneous speech frames carried out in the replacement member (402) and the processing of the frames detected as error-free carried out in the processing member (406) of error-free frames are controlled so that the effect of the transmission errors on the quality of the decoded speech signal remains insignificant. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Composition de polyéthylène destinée à la fabrication de films, films agricoles, articles moulés, feuilles, fibres et autres articles résistant à la dégradation par les ultraviolets et à la coloration. Cette composition de polyéthylène comprend un polyéthylène, isocyanurate tris-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyle), ou un alpha tocophérol comme antioxydant primaire, un ou plusieurs photostabilisateurs polymères à amines inhibées et éventuellement un ou plusieurs antioxydants secondaires et un ou plusieurs neutralisants acides. L'excellente stabilité aux UV et l'excellente résistance à la décoloration par les gaz (résistance à la formation de couleurs par des gaz) sont obtenues grâce à la combinaison mentionnée ci-dessus, cependant le résultat est inattendu puisque les antioxydants primaires possèdent des points de fusion supérieurs à la température de mélange des polyéthylènes, de sorte qu'on pourrait s'attendre à ce qu'il se produise des dispersions irrégulières de l'antioxydant, entraînant des performances de produit variables. Toutefois la combinaison en question permet d'obtenir une résistance stable et excellente aux UV et à la décoloration par les gaz.
