  • Patent number: 9266532
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the driving dynamics of a vehicle, especially of a single-track or dual-track and vehicle. The driving dynamics of the vehicle are controlled by way of brake and/or engine intervention, notably depending on a change of the movement of the vehicle in the three-dimensional space and relative to the earth coordinate system and depending on the effective direction of gravity or the earth's gravitational pull. According to said method, the attitude or orientation and the position of the vehicle in three-dimensional space and relative to the earth coordinate system is determined by means of a satellite navigation system (GNSS) which comprises a receiver, mounted on/in the vehicle, having at least three antennas for reception of satellite navigation signals and an inertial measuring system (INS), mounted on/in the vehicle, for measuring all changes in the movement, position and/or attitude of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9135929
    Abstract: Efficient Context Classification and Gated Loudness Estimation The present document relates to methods and systems for encoding an audio signal. The method comprises determining a spectral representation of the audio signal. The determining a spectral representation step may comprise determining modified discrete cosine transform, MDCT, coefficients, or a Quadrature Mirror Filter, QMF, filter bank representation of the audio signal. The method further comprises encoding the audio signal using the determined spectral representation; and classifying parts of the audio signal to be speech or non-speech based on the determined spectral representation. Finally, a loudness measure for the audio signal based on the speech parts is determined.

  • Publication number: 20070042316
    Abstract: A nozzle piece for a dental powder jet apparatus is provided with a discharge nozzle, the outlet cross section of which is formed by few nozzle openings in the lateral area of the front end of a tube-shaped partial length of the nozzle piece, for a primarily sub-gingival cleaning of the tooth radix surfaces with particularly fine-grained dental powders.

  • Publication number: 20060064864
    Abstract: A device and method for removing tooth applications such as brackets, wherein a force may be applied to the application via a transmission element for debonding the application from the tooth. The transmission element has an impulse conductor for receiving and transmitting an impulse, and an output surface for transmitting the impulse onto the application. Advantageously, the impulse is applied by an accelerated mass to an input surface of the transmission element. The mass is accelerated to a predetermined impact velocity by an acceleration device and impacts on the input surface so as to couple the impulse into the impulse conductor of the transmission element.
