Abstract: A method and apparatus (10) for powder coating three dimensional articles (12) carried on a conveyor (14) includes a controller (36) for controlling the rate at which coating material is discharged from a gun (16), so that the rate is proportional to the surface area of the surface portions of the article (12) as they pass the gun (16). Some surface portions topographically have a greater surface area which must be covered, while others are flat or have cut-out regions, requiring less coverage or no coverage at all. In powder coating operations, the discharge rate is controlled via automatic or programmed control of an electro-pneumatic air regulator (42) which regulates the supply of pressurized air to a powder pump (24) connected to the spray gun (16). The apparatus (10) assures uniformity in coating for a three dimensional article (12) with multiple surface portions of varying topography such as curves, angles, cut outs, etc., while minimizing the amount of wasted coating material.

Abstract: The invention relates in general to low bit-rate encoding and decoding of information such as audio information. More particularly, the invention relates to computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation and quantization of encoded information useful in high-quality low bit-rate coding systems. In audio applications, a digital split-band encoder splits an input signal into frequency subband signals having bandwidths commensurate with the critical bandwidths of the human auditory system, quantizes the subband signals according to values established by an allocation function, and assembles the quantized subband signals into an encoded signal. The allocation function establishes allocation values in accordance with psychoacoustic principles with allowance for decoding synthesis filter bank spectral distortions. In one embodiment, an allocation function establishes allocation values using a psychoacoustic masking threshold generated by estimating the power spectral density (PSD) of the input signal, generating an excitation pattern by applying a basilar-membrane spreading function to the PSD, adjusting the excitation pattern by an amount equal to a sensitivity function which specifies a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sufficient to achieve psychoacoustic masking, comparing the level of the adjusted pattern to the threshold of hearing and generating the psychoacoustic masking threshold which is equal to the larger of the two. An allocation function may allow for decoder synthesis filter bank spectral distortions in any of a number of ways such as by adapting the sensitivity function.

Date Jun. 13, 1996In a mobile communication system, two or more parallel traffic channels are allocated for high-speed data transmission over the radio path. Different channel numbers are assigned to these parallel traffic channels for the duration of the connection. The data of a high-speed data signal is inserted at the distribution point of the transmission end into frames each of which is provided with a channel number indicating the parallel traffic channel used for the transmission. The frames transmitted in a traffic channel always contain the same channel number during the whole call. The frames are divided into parallel traffic channel in the sequential order according to the channel numbering. At the reception end the data contained in the frames is reassembled into a high-speed data signal in the sequential order according to the channel numbers in the frames. Frame numbering may be used within each of the traffic channels so that at least two successive frames always have a different frame number. Consequently, the allowed delay offset between the traffic channels will increase with the number of the frame numbers, and the order of the frames will be maintained under any circumstances.
