  • Patent number: 7891360
    Abstract: An earplug that includes a piezoelectric element that converts electrical signals into oscillations; and a deformable material of which at least one segment is insertable into an external auditory canal of a person to ensure an acoustic seal by deformation, the piezoelectric element being disposed inside the deformable material and in fixed contact therewith, the deformable material being able to transmit the oscillations at a periphery and ensure conduction of the oscillations through cartilage and soft tissue of the auditory canal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2006
    Date of Patent: February 22, 2011
    Assignee: Institut Franco-Allemand de Recherches de Saint-Louis
    Inventors: Karl Buck, Markus Christoph
  • Patent number: 7552157
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a filtering procedure for recursive digital filters installed in signal processors (DSP) operating with integers. It comprises two calculation procedures coupled with the classical calculation procedure of a recursive filter, the first of which, when calculating the output value of the sample, takes into account the remainders of integer divisions by the scale factor, coming from calculating the output values for the previous samples, and the second of which replaces the default value from dividing the integer by a scale factor by the integer value closest to the result of actual division.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6698746
    Abstract: A device for transporting sheets in a region of a selectively usable sheet pile feeder includes a crosscutter of a sheet-fed processing machine having conveyor belts and contact-pressure devices cooperating therewith for feeding the sheets from the crosscutter, and a separating device of the sheet pile feeder, whereon contact-pressure devices are disposed.
