Title: Text to speech system
Inventor: KLATT DENNIS HOWARD
IPC: G06F3/16
Filed: 1984-12-13
Granted: 1988-10-27
Abstract: The present system employs a microprocessor to accept ASCII signals representing text and transforms the same into coded signals representing phonemes, according to Hunnicutt rules for such transformation. The microprocessor is programmed to generate a plurality of parameters (16 bit values every 6.4 milliseconds in a preferred embodiment) in accordance with the phoneme sequence for the text. The parameters, which include mathematical considerations of the phoneme properties, are transmitted to a high speed digital signal processor whereat they are used to control multiplications and additions in doing programmed simulations of certain equations, thereby providing a digitized glottal waveform. The digitized glottal waveform at the step of the operation includes sufficient information to provide 40,000 samples per second, in a preferred embodiment. Thereafter the high speed digital signal processor subjects said digitized glottal waveform to a programmed low pass filtering operation to remove components of signals having frequencies in excess of five kilohertz and to provide some averaging of temporally adjacent values. Next the present system subjects the low pass filtered, digitized glottal waveform to down sampling, in a preferred embodiment, at the rate of 10,000 samples per second. The down sampled digitized waveform is then combined, under the guidance of a program, with a digitized waveform of aspiration sounds and then filtered by a set of digital resonators and this filtered combination is further combined with a waveform representing frication sound. This last described digital waveform is transmitted to a digital to analog converter to provide an analog waveform (spoken version) of the text.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing high speed data communications in a cellular environment
Inventor: ZEHAVI EPHRAIM
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 1997-10-27
Granted: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting digital data in a cellular environment. Adjacent cells of the cellular system are prevented from simultaneously transmitting data. Because the noise from transmissions of adjacent cells is a primary source of interference, the transmission rate of power limited base stations can be dramatically increased when the noise from adjacent cells is eliminated. The transmissions to each subscriber station are made at a fixed transmission power level. However, the data rate of transmitted signals differs from one subscriber station to another depending the path loss differences. In a first exemplary embodiment, the data rate of transmissions to a subscriber station is determined by selecting an encoding rate for the transmitted signal while holding the symbol rate constant. In a second exemplary embodiment, the data rate of transmissions to a subscriber station is determined by selection a modulation format for the transmitted signal which directly changes the symbol rate of transmission to a subscriber station.

In another arrangement the bag may have two supports each elongate part being in length substantially a half the length of the edge of the bag mouth and foldable at its midpoint and the attachment members being formed at respective locations substantially midway between the ends and midpoint of the elongate part. The elongate parts may be located in a hem at the bag mouth with the attachment member passing through an aperture in the hem. Alternatively the elongate part are directly fixed - sewn - onto the bag fabric as the bag is made. The supports may be of moulded plastics material - advantageously of the same material (polypropylene) from which the bag fabric is woven. A support for use in making a mail bag is claimed as is a method of making a bag - which method may include the use of bag fabric with woven differently coloured stripes (22) spaced to enable the ready correct positioning of the elongate parts on the bag fabric.
