Patent CA-2775832-A1 (CA)
Title: Circuit and method for coupling electrical energy to a resonated inductive load
Inventor: GRAY ASHLEY JAMES
IPC: H02P25/02
Filed: 2009-09-30
Abstract: A switching circuit (Q11, Q12, D11, D12, D13, L11, L12) is repetitively configured to charge an energy transfer capacitance (C 11) from an electrical supply (V11) and then inject a discrete pulse of energy into a resonated load circuit by discharging the capacitance. The load circuit is formed by a resonating capacitance (C 12) and an inductive load device (T11, R11), eg motor, or induction heating or power transfer device. Energy circulates in the load circuit at or near to its natural resonant frequency.  There is no injection of energy into the load circuit while energy for charging the transfer capacitance is being delivered from the supply to the switching circuit. During injection, the two capacitances and the inductive load device may be connected together in parallel or in series, or the transfer capacitance may be connected in series with the inductive load device but not the resonating capacitor.

Title: Encoding method, decoding method, device, program, and recording medium
Inventor: FUKUI MASAHIRO
IPC: G10L19/038
Filed: 2011-07-04
Abstract: An encoding method obtains a quantized normalized value by quantizing a normalized value, said normalized value being a value representing samples, and a normalized value quantization index corresponding to the quantized normalized value. If a subtraction value calculated by subtracting a value corresponding to the quantised normalised value from a value corresponding to the size of the value of each sample is positive, and the value of each sample is positive, the subtraction value is selected as a quantisation target value. If the subtraction value is positive and the value of each sample is negative, the sign of the subtraction value is inverted before being selected as the quantisation target value. A plurality of quantisation target values respectively corresponding to a plurality of samples are gathered and vector quantized, and a vector quantization index is output. Sign information is output showing the sign of each sample from the abovementioned samples in which the subtraction value is not to be made positive. Thus provided is an encoding and decoding technique for reducing musical noise and the like.
