Patent EP-1164577-A3 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIGUCHI MASAYUKI
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 1996-10-25
Abstract: A method for reproducing speech signals at a
controlled speed whereby rate conversion of the time axis
may be facilitated, and can be realized by a simplified
structure based on the encoded speech data without
changing the phoneme. With the speech reproducing method,
an encoding unit 2 discriminates whether an input speech
signal is voiced or unvoiced. Based on the results of
discrimination, the encoding unit 2 performs sinusoidal
synthesis and encoding for a signal portion found to be
voiced, while performing vector quantization by closed-loop
search for an optimum vector for a portion found to
be unvoiced using an analysis-by-synthesis method, in
order to find encoded parameters. The decoding unit 4
compands the time axis of the encoded parameters obtained
every pre-set frames at a period modification unit 3 for
modifying the output period of the parameters for
creating modified encoded parameters associated with
different time points corresponding to the pre-set
frames. A speech synthesis unit 6 synthesizes the voiced
speech portion and the unvoiced speech portion based on
the modified encoded parameters.

Abstract: A process for precipitating a high bromide silver halide emulsion
in an aqueous medium is described comprising precipitating high bromide
radiation-sensitive silver halide grains in a reaction vessel in the presence of a
peptizer comprising a water dispersable starch, wherein a strong oxidizing agent is
added to the reaction vessel during or after the precipitation at a pH of less than
4.0 such that an oxidation potential of at least 650 mV (Ag/AgCl ref.) is achieved.
A reduction in the rate of reaction between strong oxidants such as bromine and
starch at such low pH has been found to enable an advantageous decrease in the
amount of oxidant required to achieve and maintain a high oxidation potential
during emulsion grain precipitation. Starch, unlike gelatin, also advantageously
has adequate stability at the combination of high acidity and high emulsion
precipitation temperatures.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for charging a battery and circuitry for performing the method.
The method includes steps of: (A) generating at a first node a battery charge current
(Icharge) for charging the battery; (B) generating at a second node a replica current
(Irep) from Icharge, where Irep<Icharge; and (C) operating a closed loop current sink
for sinking Irep, where a digital output of said closed loop current sink is a measure of
the magnitude of Icharge. In the preferred embodiment the digital output is input to a
control circuit for controlling the generation of Icharge, Also in the preferred
embodiment the closed loop current sink is constructed from a multi-stage DAC that is
driven by an output of an n-level digital filter that is incremented or decremented as a
function of a voltage difference between the first node and the second node. Preferably
the multi-stage DAC is a multi-stage current steering DAC, and the n-level digital filter
is constructed using an up/down counter. A selection of stages of the multi-stage DAC
to be turned off and on is made by a DEM logic block that is interposed between the
output of the counter and the multi-stage DAC. The disclosed circuitry and method may
be extended for providing a battery discharge measurement circuit for enabling a battery
capacity test to be performed.
