摘要:
The invention relates to hygroscopic filaments and fibres of synthetic high polymers. The improved hygroscopicity compared with known synthetic fibres is due to the fact, that in a conventional dry-spun process a liquid is added to the spinning solvent which liquid has a higher boiling point than the spinning solvent used, which liquid is readily miscible both with the spinning solvent and water and which represents a non-solvent for the polymer to be spun.

A piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer for radiating ultrasonic energy in the medium of air has a number of piezoceramic ultrasonic radiators disposed in registry within a dimensionally stable carrier block which has an intrinsic acoustic impedance which is lower by a factor of at least eight than that of the piezoceramic material and which has a high mechanical attenuation 1/Q.sub.m greater than approximately 0.05. The carrier block is yieldable at at least one closed face thereof for emission and/or reception of ultrasonic energy. The piezoelectric transducer elements may be divided into a number of side-by-side elements which may be individually energized, or may have electrodes connected in series for energizing the individual transducer elements in common. The combined operation of the ultrasonic transducer elements within the carrier block results in an ultrasonic transducer having broadband characteristics matched for ultrasonic transmission in the medium of air of short ultrasonic waveforms and for receiving ultrasonic energy for near-distance detection.

A circuit arrangement for a piezoelectric positioning element is formed of a series connection of a capacitive element, an inductance, and first switch to be controlled, said series circuit being connected across at least one piezoelectric body of the positioning element. The capacitive element, which may be another piezoelectric body of the same positioning element but which is operated in reverse phase, has at least approximately the same capacitance value as a capacitance of the first piezo-electrical body. The inductance is dimensioned sufficiently large in order to magnetically intermediately store substantially an entire energy increment to be transferred between the positioning element and the capacitive element. The first switch is connected to permit termination of a charge transfer. A series circuit is formed of an electrical energy source for charging and recharging and a second switch, said series circuit being connected parallel to the positioning element or the capacitive element. A controllable short-circuit switch is connected parallel to the capacitive element or parallel to the positioning element. In this way, the activation energy of the piezoelectric body is recovered on de-activation, for re-use on the next cycle.

A trigger device for electronic switches operating according to piezo-electric principles and having galvanic decoupling between the input control electronics and the controlled electronics switch has a piezo-ignition coupler which is a lamina of piezo-ceramic material having at least two spaced electrodes on one surface thereof and at least two counter electrodes in registry therewith on an opposite side thereof. The respective electrodes in registry form electrode pairs and one pair of electrodes is connected to the control electronics and another pair of electrodes is connected to the trigger electrode of the electronic switch. The lamina has a shape displaying an axis with more than two-fold rotational symmetry and the dimensions of the lamina are selected such that the frequency of an alternating signal supplied to the lamina is matched to the resonant frequency of the lamina at a value between 20 kHz and 500 kHz for inducing a mode of vibration according to the principle of radial oscillation.

A circuit arrangement, suitable for a burglar security device, has coincidence operation of two Doppler alarm devices. The difference frequency signal of the two Doppler frequency signals which are produced by the movement of an object within a protected area is employed as an alarm-triggering signal. The circuit arrangement has a product detector for the formation of the difference frequency signals, a subsequently connected low pass filter and a threshold value detector. The threshold value detector is designed such that the amplitude value of its detection threshold can be changed in dependence upon the frequency of a control signal supplied thereto, the frequency of the control signal being derived from one of the Doppler frequency signals, the dependence being designed such that the frequency dependence of the amplitude value of the detection threshold is fundamentally equal to the frequency-dependent attenuation characteristics of the low pass filter.

A circuit arrangement for an ultrasonic burglar security system operates in accordance with the Doppler principle and comprises a transmitting transducer which is fed from an oscillator with an ac voltage and continuously transmits ultrasonic radiation during operation, a receiving transducer and a receiving circuit connected thereto and having an analysis circuit and a phase detector which continuously compares the signal received by the receiving transducer with the oscillator ac voltage to form a detection signal which is dependent upon the mutual phase angle. The detection signal is fed to the analysis circuit which responds to the ac component thereof. The circuit arrangement includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) which includes a further detector, a low-pass filter following the phase detector and an oscillator. The oscillator has its frequency controlled at a control input and may be formed as a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter is designed to be such that only signals which can pass fundamentally without reduction are those whose frequency is lower than a critical frequency F.sub.c =c/E, where c is the speed of sound of the ultrasonic radiation in the area and E is the path of the ultrasonic radiation from the transmitting transducer to a reflective object located in the predetermined maximum range and back to the receiving transducer.
摘要:
High molecular weight aromatic copolyamides which contain a small proportion of structural units having 2,3-(1H,3H)-quinazoline dione rings are disclosed. The presence of quinazolinedione ring units in the copolyamide results in an increased moisture absorption capacity. By using small amounts of quinazoline dione units, the good physical properties of the corresponding quinazoline dione-free polyamide are substantially retained while the moisture absorption is significantly increased. Larger amounts of quinazoline dione units than contemplated (15 mol percent and more) do not improve the moisture absorption further and adversely affect the physical properties. The copolyamides are useful in textile applications in which the improved moisture absorption serves to make clothing prepared from such textiles more comfortable.

A personal electronic web health log is for storing, processing and using personal health data associated with a user. It includes a data interface which can be used to set up a communication link to contracting parties when required in order to transfer data from the health log to them at least intermittently. There is preferably a local health log on the user's computer with pre-structured electronic forms for inputting the personal health data, and also a converter, actuated using selection schemes, for producing encrypted data which are anonymous, so that they permit no inference as to the identity of the user, for addressed filing of at least some of the data on a network, such as the internet.
摘要:
A phoneme dictionary for speech recognition has a continuously stored set of standard words and their phonemes. As documents are needed by an application using the phoneme dictionary, words in the documents are selected and dynamically and temporarily added to the phoneme dictionary. Phonemes corresponding to the added words are generated using a text-to-phoneme converter, and are then temporarily added to the dictionary. Temporarily added words and their phonemes are dropped from the phoneme dictionary when their document is no longer needed by the application.
