Abstract: A device and method are provided for dispensing a beverage from a pressurized container. The dispensing device includes an integral source of compressed gas for maintaining the beverage within the container at a desired pressurized state.  The dispensing device also includes a regulator for controlling the flow of gas from the compressed gas source to the interior of the container, as well as a pressure relief mechanism that accounts for potential over pressurization of the container.  The beverage is selectively dispensed by actuation of a tap handle. Delivery is achieved through the device by a resilient delivery tube, and the delivery tube is either pinched closed or allowed to decompress by the actuation of the tap handle. In another embodiment, a check valve is used to control flow of the beverage in which the tap handle activates a transfer rod to seat and unseat a check element. The device can be manufactured in either a unitary construction or a modular construction. Modular construction provides greater flexibility in testing and replacement of defective components.

Patent CA-2705228-A1 (CA)
Title: Rounding noise shaping for integer transform based encoding and decoding
Inventor: JAX PETER
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2008-11-10
Abstract: Integer MDCT is used in lossless audio coding. However, an integer-reversible transformation is split into consec-utive lifting steps, each of which introduces considerable rounding errors to the signal. This problem gets more significant the lower the level of the useful signal to be encoded. Without noise shaping the rounding error noise will impact all frequency bins of the transformed signal equally. This is a particular problem for frequency bins in which the actual signal level is low. The invention limits the impact of rounding error noise coming with, or resulting from, each lifting step in the integer-reversible transformation on the data rate of a lossless codec. The filter coefficients of an adaptive noise shaping filter for transform coefficients are adapted in individual lifting steps according to the current time domain signal characteristics. As an alternative, an auto-regressive pre-filter can be added in front of the lossless transformation, targeting at raising the level of frequency regions with low power to decrease the dominance of rounding errors in these areas. Both processings can be combined to further improve the compression ratio of a lossless codec.
