Abstract: A method for continuous recycling of scraps of fiber and cloth that are based on thermoplastic materials in which when viewed in an extrusion direction, an extrusion apparatus is first supplied with the scrap composed of fibers and cloth and is then supplied with an additional fraction composed of thermoplastic polymers and additives, the supplied scrap and the additional fraction are mixed with each other in the extrusion apparatus, degassed, and then extruded together out of the extrusion apparatus forming an extrudate in which the scrap is embedded into the thermoplastic polymer of the additional fraction while at least partially retaining its fiber structure, with the mixing, degassing, and extruding of the scrap and the additional fraction being carried out at temperatures that lie below the softening temperature of at least one of the thermoplastic materials of the scrap.

Abstract: A method of deriving information from an audio track, or a part thereof, wherein onsets or intensity/amplitude variations are detected as well as at which frequencies (timbral frequencies) or in which frequency bands these occur. Especially interesting is the frequency of such onsets. In this manner, the frequency of beats of a low frequency drum may be separated from that of onsets of a higher frequency drum or guitar of other instrument, and these frequencies provide important information about the track, such as genre, beat, etc. Naturally, parameters may be provided relating to the individual frequencies (frequency of onsets and frequency/tone of the sound of the onsets), or a fit thereto may be used to reduce the number of parameters. It is noted that the frequencies in which the onsets are determined may be tones or half tones in the relevant scale.
