Title: Method of encoding digital signals
Inventor: AKAGIRI KENZO
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 1992-02-28
Granted: 1994-11-10
Abstract: An apparatus for highly efficiently encoding digital signals by converting input digital signals into signals on a frequency axis in a blocked form, and encoding the input digital signals with a suitable number of assignment bits for each of said blocks to transmit them, wherein the input digital signals are subjected to the orthogonal conversion and are divided by a critical band, encoded with a suitable number of assignment bits based on an allowable noise level, and are subjected to the floating processing. When the floating processing is to be carried out by a plurality of small blocks of a band narrower than the critical band, information of word length of a small block is transmitted out of the small blocks in the critical bands, in order to reduce the bit number for the word length and to compress the bits. Moreover, when the floating processing is to be carried out by small blocks of bands narrower than the critical bands, allowable noise level and information of word length of a small block are transmitted for each of the critical bands instead of transmitting the floating coefficient for each of the critical bands, in order to decrease the number of transmission bits and to highly compress the bits. When the floating processing is to be carried out by small blocks of bands narrower than the critical bands, furthermore, information of a word length corresponding to the number of assignment bits is transmitted, and information related to allowable noise level whose designated range is deviated toward the lower side from the signal level range within the critical band by a predetermined amount of level, is obtained through a quantization table and is transmitted instead of transmitting the floating coefficient, in order to more highly compress the bits. <IMAGE>

Title: Media manager for controlling autonomous media devices within a network environment and managing the flow and format of data between the devices
Inventor: LUDTKE HAROLD A
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 1999-04-29
Granted: 2003-03-27
Abstract: A media manager provides data flow management and other services for client applications on devices coupled together within a network. Preferably, these devices are coupled together within an IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus network. A device control module is generated for each available device for providing an abstraction for all of the capabilities and requirements of the device including the appropriate control protocol, physical connections and connection capabilities for the device. The media manager also manages the flow and format of data transfers between the devices on the network. Through an interface, a user accesses the media manager and enters functions which are to be completed using the devices coupled together on the network. If the appropriate devices are available, the media manager controls and manages the completion of the requested task. If the appropriate devices are not available, but the required subdevices are available in multiple devices, the media manager forms a virtual device from subdevices in multiple devices in order to complete the requested task. Once the appropriate devices and subdevices are assigned to a task, the media manager determines if the data to be transmitted needs to be converted from one format into another format. If necessary, the media manager will also control the format conversion during the data transfer operation. The media manager also provides network enumeration and registry searching capabilities for client applications to find available services, physical devices and virtual devices.
