Patent EP-1212749-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ANANTHAPADMANABHAN ARASANIPALA
IPC: G10L19/16
Filed: 2000-07-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for interleaving line spectral information quantization methods in a speech coder includes quantizing line spectral information with two vector quantization techniques, the first technique being a non-moving-average prediction-based technique, and the second technique being a moving-average prediction-based technique. A line spectral information vector is vector quantized with the first technique. Equivalent moving average codevectors for the first technique are computed. A memory of a moving average codebook of codevectors is updated with the equivalent moving average codevectors for a predefined number of frames that were previously processed by the speech coder. A target quantization vector for the second technique is calculated based on the updated moving average codebook memory. The target quantization vector is vector quantized with the second technique to generate a quantized target codevector. The memory of the moving average codebook is updated with the quantized target codevector. Quantized line spectral information vectors are derived from the quantized target codevector.

Après régénération, on reconcentre tout le flux d'acide régénéré, ou la majeure partie de ce flux. La concentration d'acide sulfurique intervient à des forces inférieures (60 % - 80 %) et à des températures inférieures. Il est possible d'utiliser l'acide concentré pour oxyder une quantité supplémentaire d'HCL. La chaleur émise par la régénération des acides utilisés est transférée à la phase de concentration de l'acide.

Abstract: Asynchronous motors are controlled by way of two- or three-phase antiductors that comprise at least two pair of thyristors connected in antiparallel and fired at certain intervals. According to the inventive method, a fundamental wave with the desired frequency is defined for the first phase and in the other phase a respective fundamental wave is defined that has the same frequency as that in the first phase but phase-shifted by corresponding values. For every phase, firing intervals are marked that have the same polarity as the respective fundamental wave. Those intervals of the potential firing intervals are used for every phase at which there is a potential firing interval in one of the two other phases. These intervals are used as the actual firing intervals.
