Abstract: An apparatus for processing an audio input signal having one or more audio channels to obtain an audio output signal according to an embodiment is provided. The apparatus has a reverberation gain determiner configured to determine reverberation gain information depending on the audio input signal. Moreover, the apparatus has a signal processor configured to obtain the audio output signal depending on the reverberation gain information by adding artificial reverberation to the audio input signal or to a preprocessed audio signal, which depends on the audio input signal.

Abstract: A method for checking cryptographic secrets for equality involves at least one of the secrets being stored in a read-protected manner in a secure system. The at least one secure system has a cryptographic hash value interface. For checking purposes, a hash value of the secret provided with a salt or with the hash value of a salt is output via the interface for comparison with a corresponding hash value of another secret provided with the salt or with the hash value of the salt.

The head further comprises a blowing system comprising an air blowing nozzle, the nozzle being arranged upstream from the roller, with respect to the movement direction, and being capable of forming an air knife, parallel to the axis of the roller, towards the nip zone between the compacting roller and the layup surface.

Abstract: A tire including a tread wear indicator is provided. The tire includes a pair of sidewalls, in which each sidewall extends from a respective bead area to a tread. The tread includes a plurality of main circumferential grooves, in which the main circumferential grooves are disposed in and proximate an axial center area of the tread. At least one shallow groove is formed in the tread, and each shallow groove includes a depth relative to the surface of the tread that is less than a depth of each of the main circumferential grooves. A primary tread wear indicator is disposed in at least one of the main circumferential grooves, and a secondary tread wear indicator is disposed in the shallow groove.

Abstract: A fiber application head for producing composite material parts, comprising a compacting system comprising a compacting roller comprising a rigid central tube and at least one cylindrical part made of a flexible material and assembled on said central tube, and an anti-adherent sheath covering the cylindrical part, and a heating system that is able to emit thermal radiation in the direction of the (s). The anti-adherent sheath has lateral portions extending beyond the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical part in the direction of the rotation axis of the roller, the assembly of the anti-adherent sheath to said cylindrical part being carried out by the lateral portions.

Abstract: Described herein are corrugated heat protection tubes and methods of making the same. The heat protection tubes have improved heat resistance, improved abrasion resistance, and minimize or eliminate worker exposure to glass fiber insulating materials. The corrugated heat protection tubes can be used in automotive, transportation, and industrial applications, just to name a few.

Abstract: The present application relates, in particular, a fibre application head for producing composite material parts, comprising a compacting system comprising a compacting roller (2) for applying one or more fibres onto an application surface, and a heating system (9) capable of emitting thermal radiation towards the fibre or fibres. Said head further comprises a blowing system (8) comprising an air blowing nozzle (81), said nozzle being arranged upstream from the roller, with respect to the movement direction, and being capable of forming an air knife, parallel to the axis of the roller, towards the nip zone between the compacting roller and the layup surface.

Abstract: The present application relates notably to a fibre application head for producing composite material parts, comprising a compacting system comprising a compacting roller (2) comprising a rigid central tube (4) and at least one cylindrical part (3) made of a flexible material and assembled on said central tube, and an anti-adherent sheath (6) covering the cylindrical part, and a heating system (9) that is able to emit thermal radiation in the direction of the fibre(s). Said anti-adherent sheath has lateral portions (61) extending beyond the cylindrical surface (33) of the cylindrical part in the direction of the rotation axis of the roller, the assembly of said anti-adherent sheath to said cylindrical part being carried out by said lateral portions.

Abstract: A transverse flux electric induction heating apparatus is provided with a pair of transverse flux inductor assemblies where the inductor in each one of the pair of assemblies is formed from a pair of continuous flexible cables disposed within movable roll channels in roll assemblies that are used to adjust the transverse length of the inductor across the edge-to-edge transverse of a workpiece moving between the inductor in each one of the pair of assemblies and/or to adjust the pole pitch between transverse inductor lengths of each inductor in the pair of assemblies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pulley device for a tension roller or a roller of a transmission element providing a pulley, at least two rolling-element bearings and a sleeve, the rolling-element bearings being assembled adjacently on the sleeve before the pulley is formed by injecting material onto the rolling-element bearings.
