Abstract: An electronic coin-acceptor receives a transaction count from a control unit. A controller forms a genuine-coin count using a predetermined algorithm based on the transaction count and the inserted or accepted coin count. The genuine-coin count and the determined coin value are transmitted to the control unit, which checks if the coin value conveyed in the genuine-coin count is identical to the transmitted coin value. If the values agree, the transmitted coin value is accumulated in the balance counter of the machine. Independent claims are also included for further encryption methods.

Abstract: A signal modification technique facilitates compact voice coding by employing a continuous, rather than piece-wise continuous, time warp contour to modify an original residual signal to match an idealized contour, avoiding edge effects caused by prior art techniques. Warping is executed using a continuous warp contour lacking spatial discontinuities which does not invert or overly distend the positions of adjacent end points in adjacent frames. The linear shift implemented by the warp contour is derived via quadratic approximation or other method, to reduce the complexity of coding to allow for practical and economical implementation. In particular, the algorithm for determining the warp contour uses only a subset of possible contours contained within a sub-range of the range of possible contours. The relative correlation strengths from these contours are modeled as points on a polynomial trace and the optimum warp contour is calculated by maximizing the modeling function. <IMAGE>
