Abstract: An echo cancellation device usable in telephone connections affected by phase-roll is described. 
     The canceller (CANC) calculates the echo path propagation delay and produces an estimate of the echo signal (d̂(t)) by digitally filtering the signal originated by the far-end talker (x(t)). The echo estimate (d̂(t)) is then subtracted from the actual echo (d(t)) to eliminate listening disturbances therefrom. The filter used (FTR) is of the FIR type with adaptive coefficients updated iteratively by adding algebraically, to the values which they had upon the preceding iteration, a correction term proportional to the estimate error. The frequency of the coefficient updating iterations is a multiple of the rate fc of acquisition of the voice and echo samples by the canceller (CANC).

Abstract: A geometric vector quantizer coding technique is illustrated in the context of a full motion video coder based on a three-dimensional sub-band framework. The original image data (110-i) is decomposed into different spatial-temporal frequency bands (in 110) and based on the data in each band, different quantization strategies are applied to the bands. The lowest spatial-temporal frequency band is coded using a traditional three-dimensional switched predictor and optimum scaler quantizer (170). The non-dominant sub-bands are coded (in 150) using the vector quantization approach to effeciently encode the images while appropriately exploiting the sparse, highly structured nature of the data to design the codebooks. Variable resolution is achieved using these techniques and no training is needed to establish or maintain the codebook (160). A fast codebook search technique is provided for identifying the optimal codebook vector for representing a block of input data. Examples of two and three level geometric vector quantizers are also provided.

Abstract: When operating a shield connector, if a metal terminal is inserted into a proper position, the metal terminal is prevented by a first withdrawal prevention device from withdrawal. When a housing and a shield cover are connected together, the metal terminal is further prevented by a second withdrawal prevention device from withdrawal. If the metal terminal is not inserted into the proper position, a resilient retaining pawl of the second withdrawal prevention device engages an engagement portion of the metal terminal to be prevented from resilient deformation when the housing and the shield cover are to be connected together. As a result, the shield cover engages an engagement projection of the resilient retaining pawl, so that the housing and the shield cover cannot be connected together.

Abstract: In a lock, a lock body (16) has a locking-spindle receptacle (46), into which the locking spindle (14) can be inserted and then locked. For locking the locking spindle, a locking ball (24) engages into a locking surface (26) of the locking spindle (14). The locking ball (24) is held in the locking position by an adjusting element (28), the adjusting element (28) being controlled by a locking device (34). When the blocking device is not blocked, the adjusting element and therefore also the locking ball (24) can shift transversely relative to the locking spindle (14), so that the locking spindle can be pulled easily. In contrast, if the blocking device is blocked, a shift of the locking ball (24) is prevented. The locking ball can then be displaced by the locking spindle (14) in the pull-out direction counter to the elastic resistance of its guide track and comes into self-locking clamping engagement between the locking surface (26) of the locking spindle (14) and an abutment. Reaction forces as the result of high pull-out forces are thereby kept away from the lock furniture. The abutment (50) can be secured on the locking spindle itself. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A probe (1) for making electrical connections to the legs (3) of an already mounted integrated circuit (4) carries rows (2) of tapered wedges (8). The wedges within a row are spaced apart by an amount that corresponds to the width of the IC's legs. For n-many legs on a side of the IC there are n+1 corresponding wedges, which then have n-many intervening spaces. As the positioned probe is pressed down the spaces between the wedges receive the legs of the IC, and wedges become wedged between the IC's legs. Each wedge has left and right conductive surfaces (22) separated by an insulator (19,20,21). Each leg of the IC has a wedge to its left and a wedge to its right. Within the probe the right-hand conductive surface of the wedge to the left of a leg, and the left-hand conductive surface of the wedge to the right of that leg, are electrically connected together. Thus, the probe makes electrical contact to each leg in two places. The tapered wedges are of Ni-and Au-plated BeCu separated by acrylic adhesive and Kapton. Acrylic adhesive and Kapton are also used as the spacer between wedges. The rows of wedges (48-57) are cemented to a mantle (52). A lead frame (59) soldered to the butt end of the wedges connects opposing surfaces of adjacent wedges and makes the interconnection between the rows of wedges and an array of pins (61) in a pin block (60) at the top of the probe. Sticks of coplanar wedges are made by laminating layers of material in a press. The taper of the wedge tip arises from layers of shorter length in conjunction with a shaped surface in the laminating press. N+1 sticks are laminated together with intervening spacers to form a stack from which rows of n+1 wedges may be removed.
