Patent EP-0527527-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VOGTEN LEONARDUS LAMBERTUS M
IPC: H04B14/04
Filed: 1992-07-31
Abstract: To manipulate an audio signal, a first overlapping chain of windows is generated, successive windows being placed incrementally, each placed a pitch period after its predecessor. In each window, the signal is weighted, and this yields a signal segment for each window. The segments are subsequently placed in a second overlapping chain, in which the segment positions are modified as compared to the first chain, some segments being repeated or skipped. When the segments thus placed are summed, this produces a high quality signal with pitch and/or duration changed with respect to the original signal. The invention is used amongst others for diphone speech synthesis, the relative positions of the diphones moreover being adjusted to minimize audible transition effects between diphones. In an embodiment, the audio signal used as input is first manipulated to give it a monotonous pitch, and later manipulated a second time to give it a pitch with a desired temporal variation in pitch and/or duration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor device which is fabricated in simple process steps and which prevents deterioration in a breakdown voltage. Diffusion regions (2) and (3) are formed in space in a surface of an n⁻ type layer (1). The diffusion regions (2) and (3) are separated from each other by an insulation layer (6b). Conductive films (5a) and (5e) are disposed in contact with the diffusion regions (2) and (3). A conductive film (5c) is disposed on the insulation layer (6b). The conductive films (5a), (5c) and (5e) are insulated from each other by the insulation layer (6b) and another insulation layer (6a), but coupled to conductive films (4b) and (4d) formed on the insulation layer (6a). A wiring conductive film (4) is also formed on the insulation layer (6a). The wiring conductive film (4) has a relatively small capacitance with the conductive films (5a), (5c) and (5e). Due to the device structure, influence of the wiring conductive film (4) over the surface of the semiconductor device is blocked by the conductive films. Hence, an electric field concentration will not result.

Abstract: A method for extracellularly producing an ectoprotein of hepatitis C virus comprises the steps of cultivating a transformant which is transformed with an expression vector containing a DNA fragment coding for the ectoprotein of hepatitis C virus and recovering the ectoprotein of hepatitis C virus extracellularly produced by the transformant. The protein originated from the E1 region prepared by the method can be used as a material for preparing a vaccine for preventing HCV infection. In addition, a diagnostic agent containing the protein is useful for the detection of an HCV antibody or the confirmation of the presence thereof in sera or the like. In other words, the protein of the present invention permits the diagnosis or C type hepatitis in high specificity and sensitivity.

Abstract: Alternating current coefficients in a block of orthogonal transform coefficients representing a digital image are quantized with a quantization step size selected with regard to whether the block represents motion or a still image, the fineness of the pictorial pattern in the image, the position of the coefficients in the block, and whether the coefficients represent luminance or chrominance information in the image. The fineness of the pictorial pattern is determined in accordance with the number of alternating current coefficients that exceed a first relatively small threshold value. If any of the alternating current coefficients exceed a second relatively large threshold value, the block is considered to have a high activity,that is, a fine pattern, and so is quantized with a large quantization step.

Abstract: A Cartesian amplifier in which an input signal is pre-processed and split into two quadrature components. Both quadrature components are passed, in parallel, through an error amplifier (4), after which they are re-combined and up-converted to RF. The output of the amplifier is used to provide a feedback signal. This feedback is downconverted from RF to baseband and resolved into two quadrature components which are fed to the respective inputs of the error amplifier (4). Periodically the pre-processor (3) is switched into a calibration mode in which test signals are applied to the amplifier instead of the input signal. At these times the signal strength of the output of the power amplifier is measured and used to provide pre-distortion factors in the signal preprocessor (3) to improve amplifier linearity.

Abstract: Non-volatile semiconductor core memory performance is enhanced by reduced stress on core memory cells. Stress is reduced by selectable application of bias voltages to the sense line under control of the word line. The word line (19) is connected to an inverting device in turn connected to a transistor (70) effective for grounding the gate of a variable threshold programmable transistor (11b) in the memory cell (11). Power-down of the word line (19) is reflected in synchronous power-down of the sense line (13). Additionally, with power-down, the sense amplifier (29) for the particular core memory cell (11) is disconnected from a master latch circuit, which in turn is connected to a slave latch circuit for applying the previous sense amplifier output to an input/output buffer, in order to secure the data sensed in core memory during read operation. The invention further permits reduced word line voltages during erase operation on the sense line (13) and the variable threshold programmable transistor (11b).
