Title: Mattress and/or liner for soothing infants
Inventor: SIDI NAJMUDDIN
IPC: A47D7/00
Filed: 1995-03-15
Abstract: An in utero simulation is provided to increase mental security of new born babies and help their normal growth and developement by decreasing mental agitation and increa-sing rest periods. In families with a newly born baby, the most common phenomenon to be observed is that the parents hardly get a full night's rest. This is because apart form the feeding periods which have to be kept up, the babies may have other discomforts which they can only express in crying. This infant-parent communication has its validity where the child's discomfort is caused either by sickness or its physical needs like hunger or wet diapers. It has, however, been noted that many times, a healthy baby, just fed, cleaned and changed, seems to get into a state of utmost disorientation and cries over longer periods without any apparent rea-son. It is felt that the main reason for this behaviour is psychological. In modern homes, upon getting the certainty that a baby is expected, parents make a special room ready for the newly born. The room is decorated and furnished to meet all needs of the infant. However, the room is usually very quiet and there is hardly any phy-sical contact with the mother or with any situation the baby has experienced during its featal developement. This derivement of familiar ambience can cause anxieties in the newly born leading to its expressing its fears in form of cries. It is also evident, that when babies undergo such anxieties and fears, their normal deve-lopement is influenced i.e in extreme cases, it could lead to later psychological disorders. Babies have no other form of self articulation except crying, which in turn could make the parent agitated and this has often led to child maltreatment. Observations in human communities of third world or animals, especially primates, have shown that their babies are always kept very close to the mother and hence abnormal behaviour due to stress is more or less absent in these infants. It has also been obser-ved that when crying babies are held close by mothers who then gently rock it and sooth it verbally, invariably calm it down and the baby later sleeps well. Studies carried out by pediatric specialists have also shown that there are positive relations, feedbacks and in-fluencies on child behaviour and its developement if some elements of its experiences in the mothers womb are artificially recreated. The invention is a mattress and/or a lining providing a floatation simulation to the infant and at the same time a sensation felt on its full body that corresponds to uteral sensa-tions of receiving the mother's heart beats. The unique characteristic of this invention is the application of sublimally felt closeness to the mother and physically felt resemblance of floating, whereby the same medium imparts both sensations on the infant as it is the case in the womb.

Title: Press
Inventor: BELKA ZBIGNIEW J
IPC: B23P19/02
Filed: 1995-11-03
Abstract: A  press  for  press-fitting  an  axle  tube  into  a differential housing having a locator and accurately locating a flange on the tube relative the locator by offsetting flange mislocation,  deflection of  the tube  and press  and deflection and/or shifting of the tube and housing fixtures during press-fitting. The press has a ram in operable communication with a drive and a computer in communication with the ram and drive to accurately control movement of the ram and depth of insertion of each tube.  Carried by the ram is a probe that senses flange location relative on the tube for determining deviation in flange location and offsetting depth of insertion to compensate for any such deviation. Another sensor communicates to the computer the insertion force the ram is applying to the tube to determine tube and press deflection. Where a pair of tubes are inserted at the same time, the computer compares insertion force of both tubes to determine  if  there  is  any  force  imbalance causing deflection and/or shifting of the workpiece fixtures.  During insertion, and preferably as the tube is nearing full depth of insertion, the computer communicates with each force sensor and preferably at least  one  lookup  table  to  select  an  offset  for  each  tube corresponding to press and tube deflection and another offset corresponding to force imbalance. Thereafter, the computer applies the offsets to the insertion depth of each tube to accurately locate each flange relative to the housing locator when assembly is completed.

Patent CA-2164762-A1 (CA)
Title: Speech compensation in dual-mode telephone
Inventor: HEIDARI ALIREZA RYAN
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 1995-12-08
Abstract: A dual-mode telephone has transmit and receive channels suitable for cellular telephony, and is operative in analog and digital modes of communication.  Each of the channels has parallel branches of circuitry wherein the circuitry of one branch accommodates voice signals in accordance with an analog protocol and the second branch accommodates voice signals processed by digital compression and expansion circuitry.   The digital compression circuitry, which is employed for outgoing voice  signals,  and the  digital expansion circuitry, which is employed for incoming voice signals, constitute a vocoder operative under control of a microcontroller unit.  Operation of the vocoder during a digital transmission mode introduces a digitally processed quality to received voice signals,  this characteristic being distinguishable from the voice quality of pulse-code modulation employed in the analog communication mode.  In order to introduce uniformity of voice quality during both analog and digital modes of communication, the telephone includes circuitry for inserting the vocoder circuitry into the analog branch of the receive channel as a speech compensator with the compression and expansion circuitry operated in a back-to-back arrangement.   The input and output  signal  formats  of  the  speech  compensator  are identical,  but  the  resulting  output  signal  of  the compensator  has  a  digitally  processed  voice  quality. Thereby, the digitally processed voice quality is present in both analog and digital modes of communication so as to eliminate a disturbance in change of voice quality during a hand-off between the two communication modes.

Title: Method and apparatus for calendering a paper or board web
Inventor: KOIVUKUNNAS PEKKA
IPC: D21G1/00
Filed: 1995-12-12
Abstract: In the inventive method and apparatus for calendering a surface of a paper or board web, a temperature difference is created between the web surfaces so that the surface to be calendered is cooler than the opposite surface. In addition, moisture within the web is transferred using the so-called heat pipe effect toward the cooler surface while substantially preventing evaporation of moisture from the web so as to create a predetermined moisture profile transversely through the web and decrease the glass transition temperature of the web at the relatively cooler surface to be calendered. Finally, the web having the predetermined moisture profile is advanced into the calendering nip so that the relatively cooler and moister surface of the web is pressed against the heated roll of the nip to thereby calender that web surface.
