Abstract:
A sludge filtration apparatus has a sludge tank configured to store sludge and at least one filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a filtration membrane for filtering the sludge and a pipe insertable in the filtration membrane to supply air to a secondary side of the filtration membrane for dislodging the sludge from the filtration membrane. The pipe has a plurality of holes for discharging gas, namely air, to an area in which the filtration membrane inclines downwardly with the secondary side thereof. The sludge filtration apparatus can prevent thickened sludge from remaining in an upper portion of the filter assembly.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a stereo encoding device capable of accurately encoding a stereo signal at a low bit rate and suppressing delay in audio communication. The device performs monaural encoding in its first layer (110). In a second layer (120), a filtering unit (103) generates an LPC (Linear Predictive Coding) coefficient and generates a left channel drive sound source signal. A time region evaluation unit (104) and a frequency region evaluation unit (105) perform signal evaluation and prediction in both of their regions. A residual encoding unit (106) encodes a residual signal. A bit distribution control unit (107) adaptively distributes bits to the time region evaluation unit (104), the frequency region evaluation unit (105), and the residual encoding unit (106) according to a condition of the audio signal.

A matrix generator, implemented by at least one processor, generates a Toeplitz-type convolution matrix using the second impulse response vector generated by the convolution operator. A searcher, implemented by at least one processor, performs a codebook search by maximizing a term using the Toeplitz-type convolution matrix.

Abstract:
A vehicle front structure related to the invention includes a front side member having a kick section extending obliquely downward toward the rear, a member front half section, and a member rear half section. A sub-frame juxtaposed below the front side member abuts on the member rear half section. A rear end portion of the sub-frame is formed with a first inclination portion which extends obliquely downward toward the rear and abuts on the front side member. The front side member 1 is formed with a second inclination portion which abuts on the first inclination portion. The first inclination portion is held so as to be movable relative to the second inclination portion.
Abstract:
A cleaning nozzle is formed at a leading end face of a rigid-endoscope oversheath to cover a rigid endoscope. The cleaning nozzle is connected with a flow path formed in the oversheath so that fluid flowing through the flow path is ejected from an ejection port. The side surfaces of the cleaning nozzle are composed of a relatively hard material, while the upper surface is composed of a relatively soft material. When the flow rate of the fluid ejected from the ejection port is high, the upper surface of the ejection port is widened upward and thereby the direction of ejection of the fluid also changes. The direction of ejection of the fluid can thus be changed by controlling the flow rate.
