Filed:

Sep 22, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/666268

Inventors:

Stephen L. Bennett - Antioch TN, US
Mark J. Jagner - Ypsilanti MI, US

Assignee:

Valenite, LLC - Madison Heights MI

International Classification:

C22C029/02

US Classification:

75236, 75242, 428547

Abstract:

An eta-phase-free cemented carbide insert with improved surface hardness and wear resistance containing WC, and possibly cubic phases of a carbide and/or carbonitride, in a binder phase of Co, Ni, Fe or a combination thereof, with a binder phase gradient in the surface and near surface regions, is disclosed. The nominal binder phase content in the insert is 3-20 weight %. The surface, and near surface cobalt content is 50-100% of the binder phase content of the inner portion of the insert. The insert is formed by standard sintering practices, followed by the chemical removal of the binder phase from the surface and near surface regions of the insert. The insert is then heat treated at a temperature of 1300-1350 C. in a carburizing atmosphere, for a time of 5-400 minutes to cause diffusion of the binder phase from the interior into the binder depleted surface regions.

US Classification:

715757, 715758

Abstract:

An interactive spatialized audiovisual system links a plurality of remote used terminals. The system comprises a networked computer having an associated user database including user status information. Input means are provided at the computer for receiving a plurality of audio streams and associated locating data from the remote user terminals for, virtually locating the users relative to one another within a virtual user environment such as a chat room environment Selection means are provided for enabling selection of at least the first group of the audio streams in a first selection process based on status information in the user database. Output means output the selected group of audio streams and associated locating data for spatialization of the audio streams relative to a first listener-based audio reference frame which is substantially coherent with visual representations of the audio sources defined by the locating data at the first user terminal. Merging means are provided for merging at least some of the audio streams into a merged audio stream for transmittal to the first and other user terminal, with the merged audio stream being spatialized so as to provide for a spatialized background audio effect in the audio reference frame at the user terminal.

US Classification:

348441

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for reducing digital video image data. In one embodiment, the method comprises comparing a signature for one or more regions of a current frame of the image data to a signature of a corresponding region of one or more previous frames; and for a region of the one or more regions, sending the region to the data sink if comparing the signature results in determining that the signature of the region does not match a signature of a corresponding region of a previous frame available at the data sink.
