A device for insertion into the human nose, characterised by having at least one elastically deformable plate-like base element with an inner side and an outer side and with a substantially rectangular shape, said element being substantially flat or slightly arched in its unstressed condition.

Methods and an apparatus for enhancement of source coding systems utilizing high frequency reconstruction (HFR) are introduced. The problem of insufficient noise contents is addressed in a reconstructed highband, by using Adaptive Noise-floor Addition. New methods are also introduced for enhanced performance by means of limiting unwanted noise, interpolation and smoothing of envelope adjustment amplification factors. The methods and apparatus used are applicable to both speech coding and natural audio coding systems.

A conveyor oven has a modulating gas valve which raises and lowers the thermal output of a burner that heats the oven. A bypass line passes a minimum amount of gas to prevent the burner from completely shutting down during periods while the oven remains above a threshold demand for more heat. Electrical isolation is provided between temperature controlling devices to prevent an electrical feed back which might otherwise prevent a complete shut down of the oven during hazardous conditions.

Sealing device for sealing at least one zone of underpressure or overpressure adjoining a moving surface that includes at least one sealing element, positionable opposite the moving surface to form a front and a rear, with respect to a surface running direction, with a sealing section located at the front and a ventilation section located at the rear. The sealing section is structured to sealingly interact with the moving surface and the ventilation section is structured to contact the moving surface and includes a run off surface having at least one of a substantially sawtooth and wavy shape surface arranged at an end of the rear.

A method for managing the respective processing loads of a plurality of processors in a network using a load balancing technique for load balancing, in which: a first network management processor issues a processing load information collection message to an adjacent processor, said adjacent processor adds into the message its analysed processing load information and forwards said message to yet another processor of the processor network which repeats the adding and forwarding functions, until one processor forwards the message with the added processing load information to the first network management processor, which determines, on the basis of the processing load information of the processors stored in said processing load information collection message a load balancing technique for load distribution among the processors in said processor network.

The invention relates to the technical field of power system grid dispatching and operation, and more specifically, relates to a grid section monitoring and transfer strategy intelligent generation system and method. The grid section monitoring and transfer strategy intelligent generation system includes a basic database module, a section edit and query module, a section scope monitoring module, and a section transfer strategy module. A section and the equipment constituting the section can be comprehensively monitored, and a section transfer control strategy can be automatically generated. Moreover, the influence of the transfer strategy on other sections or equipment is autonomously evaluated, the problem that the scheduling personnel has different technological levels for section monitoring and transfer and the processing efficiency is low is avoided, and the risk to stable operation of the grid is reduced.

The invention discloses a complex plain river network generalization method achieving an approximately-uniform water storage relation. The method includes the steps that river channel geographic information data are obtained and processed; a simulated river network polygon is constructed; total water storage amount parameters of a generalized river network inside the simulated river network polygon are determined; the overlapping width of each simulated river sections of the river network polygon is determined; the width overlapping position of each river section of the river network polygon is determined. The water storage capacity of the generalized river network can be made to be approximately uniform with that of a prototype river network, simulation precision can be effectively improved, and the flood risk is easily analyzed; for the water administrative department in charge, defined data requirements are provided, and therefore data compiling is easily performed in management work of the plain river network; for scientific researchers in the water conservancy industry, the method is adopted for constructing a generalized river network hydrodynamic model, and in this way, it can be avoided that due to excessive dependency on experience, different researchers construct the model at different levels.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for applying a volume gain to change the playback volume of a device by calculating a smoothed noise estimate. The smoothed noise estimate may calculated using an exponential smoothing method. The exponential smoothing method may include applying a weight factor to both a background noise estimate and a historical smoothed noise estimate. The weight factor may place more emphasis on either the background noise estimate or the historical smoothed noise estimate depending on the value of the weight factor. The value of the weight factor may change based on the type of environment the device is in, the speed of the background noise transitions, and/or historical data. The calculated smoothed noise estimate may be used to calculate a volume gain. The volume gain may be applied over a period of time such that the playback volume of the device changes smoothly.

The invention relates to a tea tree equal-height and synchronous-ripe sizing trimming method characterized by comprising four-rounds of trimming. Each time trimming work is conducted when a to-be-trimmed part grows mature; branches are irregularly trimmed according to ordered mature time; the trimming is conducted until all branches are trimmed for once; and the same round trimming is applied at the same horizontal height. By the use of the tea tree equal-height and synchronous-ripe sizing trimming method, tea garden closing can be accelerated and the tea garden can quickly go into operation; under the same condition, by the use of the method, the tea garden can be closed one to two years in advance compared with a traditional sizing trimming method.

Systems and devices for a team game played on an obround court includes radially symmetric barriers defining cylindrical goals having circular openings concentric with the semicircles of the obround court. An annular halt zone extends around the barriers. A free throw line extends around each halt zone. An obround judge lane extends along the perimeter of the court and is occupied by two judges or referees that monitor the game, while another judge or referee remains inside the perimeter. The court is divided by a centerline which includes a circle at the center of the court. The outer wall of the barrier includes one or more video screens. Audience members can access a computer network to display images, text or video selected by them in real-time during gameplay. The ball used for the game has a surface texture provided by a plurality of square pebbles instead of rounded pebbles.

A method for controlled operation of a heated industrial furnace having a furnace chamber is provided. Fuel is conducted into the furnace chamber virtually without combustion air and a gaseous oxygen carrier is also conducted. The supply of fuel and the gaseous oxygen carrier is controlled by a control loop. A first adjustable manipulated variable in the form of a flow of fuel and/or a second adjustable manipulated variable in the form of a flow of the gaseous oxygen carrier is set by a final controlling element. In the control loop, an energy requirement is determined and fed to a quantitative control and to a quantitative fuel control for the fuel. The flow of the gaseous oxygen carrier is determined as a process value of a flow of the gaseous oxygen carrier and the flow of fuel is determined as a process value of a volumetric flow of fuel.
