Abstract: An assist mechanism (50) is for a handle attachment (102) of a circuit breaker (4) having a housing (8) with an operating member (16) operable among a plurality of positions. The handle attachment includes a casing (106) coupled to the circuit breaker housing and enclosing an actuating assembly (114) which interconnects the circuit breaker operating member with a handle that is operable from the exterior of the casing. The assist mechanism is a wave spring (52) having a first end (54) coupled to the casing, and a second end (56) having a wave bend (58,60,62) that divides the second end into three sections having three corresponding tangential vector forces. The tangential vector forces provide a bias to the actuating assembly of the handle attachment that differs depending on the position of the circuit breaker operating member. In this manner, the assist mechanism augments energy generated by movement of the operating member and translates it into a corresponding handle attachment movement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to computer-generated text-to-speech conversion. It relates in particular to a method and system for updating a Concatenative Text-To-Speech (CTTS) system with a speech database from a base version to a new version. When an existing CTTS system is to be updated in order to adapt it to a new application, an application-specific new text must be read by a natural person in a new recording session (32). The CTTS system construction process performs (automatic) text-to-unit alignment and identification of relevant acoustic contexts in order to generate a speech database adapted to the new application. This is disadvantageously time-consuming and expensive, as the human speaker, who made the preceding basic session should also be available in the update speech session. The present invention only requires a relatively small amount of application-specific new text, and no additional speech recordings at all. The inventional adaptation of the existing CTTS system is achieved by an application-specific reorganization of the synthesizer's speech database by means of certain decision tree modifications. By that reorganization certain synthesis units (631, 632) are made available for the new application, which are not available in prior art without a new speech session. This allows the creation of application-specific synthesizers with improved output speech quality for arbitrary domains and applications at very low cost.

Abstract: A fluid guide (1) comprising a swirl pipe (3) defining an axis, a first end (12) with a first cross-sectional area, and a second end (13) in communication with a pump inlet (16). The first end (12) of the swirl pipe is in communication with at least one funnel-shaped guiding means (4) having an exterior wall, said funnel-shaped guiding means (4) serves for guiding the fluid into the swirl pipe (3). The funnel-shaped guiding means (4) has an inlet opening (14) communicating with an outlet opening (15) through a funnel body (5) and said outlet opening (15) communicates with the first end of the swirl pipe (12). The cross-sectional area of the inlet opening (14) of funnel-shaped guiding means is larger than the cross-sectional area of the outlet-opening (15) of the funnel-shaped guiding means, and the total cross-sectional areas of the outlet openings (15) of the funnel-shaped guiding means is substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the first end (12) of the swirl pipe. The funnel-shaped guiding means (4) ensures that the velocity of the fluid is effectively raised while being led from a reservoir to a swirl pipe (3). Having the increased velocity and achieving an angular velocity in the swirl pipe (3), the fluid gets in contact with the impeller in a more smooth way. The general tear and wear of the impeller is lowered because the risk of turbulence is lowered.

The oscillation generator is connected to a piston rod, which is subjectable in the casting chamber for oscillating the melt by the oscillation generator in longitudinal direction. The oscillation generator is operatable in dependence of the remaining process parameters so that the melt is degassed by the oscillation. The opening has a diameter of 8-12 mm. A device for the production of a negative pressure, comprises a negative pressure container, a vacuum pump and a pump valve for controlling the ventilation of the casting chamber. The oscillation generator, the vacuum pump and/or the negative pressure container are laid out in such a manner that the time for the removal of gases from the chamber is 3 seconds per kg of melt. The negative pressure container has a negative pressure of 6600 Pa and a volume of 25-100 litres with an air chamber (14) over the melt of 2-8 litres.
