| 20110107694 | Window and door assembly structures - Interfaces between nosings on respective frames and frame combinations to be joined. Each nosing has an elongate receptacle extending along the nosing length. A remote wall of the receptacle is displaced from the remainder of the nosing. The remote wall on the nosings to be joined can be generally aligned with and proximate the receptacle opening on the other nosing. With the remote walls and respective receptacles aligned, the frames are moved toward each other with the remote walls on the respective nosings entering the receptacles, with the remote walls in generally facing relationship with each other. Spacings and tolerances of the remote walls, and corresponding receptacles, can optionally provide frictionally-restrained engagements of the remote walls in the receptacles, whereby the frames can be re-oriented with limited assembly support to such assembly without disengagement of the nosings from each other by the action of gravity. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110107695 | Window and door assembly structures - A nosing and drip cap are mounted to each other by elements of the nosing and drip cap. A hook receptacle and/or a stud receptacle extend the length of the nosing. A cooperating hook and/or stud extend from the drip cap. The drip cap is secured to the nosing by engaging the hook in the hook receptacle and/or the stud in the stud receptacle, in a loose engagement combination. While nosing and drip cap are engaged, the assembly can be secured together by (i) installing fasteners spaced along the length of the assembly or, where hook and hook receptacle are used, (ii) bending the assembly into an arcuate configuration, with the inner flange of the nosing to the inside of the bend. While being bent, the hook and hook receptacle create a tightened locking-type engagement between themselves. Either way, the nosing and the drip cap are substantially permanently locked together. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20110051948 | METHOD OF CORRECTING ERRORS IN BINARY MASKS - The invention relates to a method of identifying and correcting errors in a noisy binary mask. An object of the present invention is to provide a scheme for improving a binary mask representing speech. The problem is solved in that the method comprises a) providing a noisy binary mask comprising a binary representation of the power density of an acoustic signal comprising a target signal and a noise signal at a predefined number of discrete frequencies and a number of discrete time instances; b) providing a statistical model of a clean binary mask representing the power density of the target signal; and c) using the statistical model to detect and correct errors in the noisy binary mask. This has the advantage of providing an alternative and relatively simple way of improving an estimate of a binary mask representing a speech signal. The invention may e.g. be used for speech processing, e.g. in a hearing instrument. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20090158839 | Method for ascertaining and/or evaluating fill-state of a container containing at least one medium - A method for ascertaining and/or evaluating the fill-state of a container filled with at least one medium, wherein high-frequency, electromagnetic, measuring signals are emitted by a fill-level measuring device and received back as wanted echos reflected at an interface of the media. The electromagnetic, measuring signals are received back as an end echo reflected at a measuring range end, wherein, from the received wanted echos and the end echo, an echo curve is formed as a function of travel-time and/or the travel-distance, wherein, by means of a search algorithm integrated in the fill-level measuring device, number, existence and/or position of individual wanted echos and of the end echo in the echo curve are/is ascertained and applied for classifying the currently present fill-state in the container relative to predetermined, stored, fill situations in the container. On the basis of the classified fill situation in the container, with a distance value of the fill-level and/or a distance value of the separating-layer are/is associated belonging travel-times and/or belonging travel-distances of the individual wanted echos and/or end echo in the echo curve. | 06-25-2009 |

| 20090249006 | System and Method for Setting an Activation State for a Device Used in a Backup Operation - Various embodiments of a system and method for performing a backup operation are disclosed. Backup operation information may be stored, where the backup operation information specifies a backup operation to be performed using at least a first device. Subsequent to storing the backup operation information, state information for the first device may be stored, where the state information indicates whether the first device is eligible for use in backup operations. Before the backup operation is performed, the state information for the first device may be accessed. If the state information for the first device indicates that the first device is eligible for use in backup operations then the backup operation may be performed using the first device (as well as possibly other devices). If the state information for the first device indicates that the first device is ineligible for use in backup operations then the backup operation may be prevented from using the first device. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20100281067 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MODIFYING A BACKUP DATA STREAM INCLUDING LOGICAL PARTITIONS OF DATA BLOCKS TO BE PROVIDED TO A FIXED POSITION DELTA REDUCTION BACKUP APPLICATION - Methods and apparatus for modifying a backup data stream to be provided to a fixed position delta reduction backup method are disclosed. When a data stream is received, the data stream may be parsed into a plurality of logical components, where each of the logical components includes one or more data blocks. Missing data blocks may also be detected in the data stream, and therefore may be detected in each of the plurality of logical components. For instance, each of the logical components may be separated into a separate data stream for which missing data blocks may be detected. A temporary data block is then inserted where each missing data block is detected (e.g., in each of the plurality of logical components). In this manner, inefficiencies introduced into a fixed position delta reduction backup process as a result of new or deleted data in a system implementing a plurality of data blocks which may be stored in the form of logical components are eliminated. | 11-04-2010 |
