Aug 10, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/928225

Inventors:

Joel Jorgenson - Fargo ND, US
John McCullough - Austin TX, US
William Steingrandt - Punta Gorda FL, US

International Classification:

H04M001/64
G06F017/00

US Classification:

379/073000, 379/087000

Abstract:

A listening conditioning system includes an audio conditioning unit and optionally one or more audio delivery components. A receiver provides at least one receiver channel which receives signals indicative of sound from a source of desired sound, and provides as an output digital sound data for each receiver channel. Digital signal processing circuitry coupled to the at least one receiver channel filters the digital sound data from each receiver channel using a filter profile to obtain filtered digital sound data. A profile upload input is configured to receive a multiple filter profiles, wherein each of the filter profiles corresponds to user preferences or to an audiogram of a user of the listening conditioning system and to a particular sound environment. A profile selection user input can be used to select the filter profile from the multiple filter profiles. A transmitter coupled to the digital signal processing circuitry is configured to transmit filtered sound data from each receiver channel.

International Classification:

G06F017/00
H04R029/00

US Classification:

700/094000, 381/056000

Abstract:

A method of the invention, embodied for example as computer executable instructions stored on a computer readable medium and executed on a personal computer, includes obtaining a first filter profile for an audio conditioning unit of a sound conditioning system. The first filter profile corresponds to an audiogram of a user of the system. Sound data corresponding to audio to be played is obtained and filtered using the first filter profile. The filtered sound data is played for the user of the sound conditioning system. The user can adjust the first filter profile for current hearing capabilities and specific sound environments without the aid of an audiologist. Multiple filter profiles can be uploaded from the personal computer to an audio conditioning unit of a listening conditioning system. The listening conditioning system includes multiple effective displacement compression units which capture sound at multiple sources and wirelessly transmit raw sound data to the audio conditioning unit, thus providing multi-channel capabilities. Filtered sound data is transmitted to one or more audio delivery components.

Appl. No.:

6/444980

Inventors:

John G. McCullough - Hawthorne NY
Kenneth J. Barr - Yonkers NY

Assignee:

Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C23F 1118
C09K 300

US Classification:

252389R

Abstract:

Corrosion of metallic surfaces by aqueous alkanolamine solutions employed in acid gas removal is inhibited by combinations of particular vanadium compounds and an organic compound selected from the group consisting of nitro-substituted aromatic acids, nitro-substituted acid salts, and 1,4-naphthoquinone, preferably from the group consisting of p-nitrobenzoic acid, m-nitrobenzoic acid, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, p-nitrophenol, m-nitrophenol, m-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid, 1,4-naphthoquinone, and mixtures thereof.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1210

US Classification:

364200

Abstract:

An improvement in a bus converter that provides a bus to bus address translation function permitting access from an I/O device connected on the I/O bus to a system bus and system memory, where the bus converter includes a circuit connected to the I/O bus to partition I/O addresses received from the I/O bus into a lower order field and a high order field and connected to a circuit to receive DMA ID's from the I/O bus to combine this DMA ID with the high order field to form a first combined address. The first combined address is input to a memory which provides corresponding control field and prefix field data. An address formatter is further included that is connected to receive the control field and prefix field data from the memory and further connected to receive the low order address field. The address formatter forms a second combined address from the prefix field, control field and lower order address field. This second combined address is then provided to a system bus to permit access to the system bus.

Assignee:

Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C01B 1716
C23F 1104

US Classification:

423228

Abstract:

In an alkanolamine gas treating process for removing acid gas from a feedstream in which hydrogen sulfide is present, reduced corrosion of steel parts or components is observed when solution concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and vanadium in the plus five valence state are maintained above certain minimum levels.

International Classification:

C23F 1100

US Classification:

252189

Abstract:

A novel alkanolamine gas treating composition and method for purifying a gas stream containing acid gas impurities. The composition consists essentially of an alkanolamine solvent in an aqueous solution with antimony wherein said alkanolamine solvent includes at least about 1% by weight of methydiethanolamine (MDEA) and at least about 5% monoethanolamine (MEA) by weight of the total solution, and with said antimony present in a concentration of at least about 100 ppm. The combination of antimony and MDEA inhibits corrosion and retards solvent degradation.
