Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device of multi-resolution vector quantization (VQ) for audio encoding and decoding used to analyze the audio signal in multi-resolution and quantize the vectors of them. Said method for encoding audio comprises the steps of: adaptively filtering a input audio signal so as to gain a time-frequency filter coefficient and output a filtered signal; dividing vectors of the filtered signal in a time-frequency plane so as to gain a vector combination; selecting the vector to be quantized; quantizing the selected vectors and calculating a quantization residual error; and transmitting a quantized coding task information as a side-information of an encoder to an audio decoder to quantize and encode the quantization residual error. The invention can adaptively filter the audio signal, and adjust the resolutions of time and frequency. The hereinafter result of multi-resolution time-frequency analysis can be utilized effectively through reorganizing the filter coefficient by selecting different organizing policies. VQ may improve encoding efficiency as well as control quantizing precision simply and optimize it.

Abstract: A magnetic drive device is formed from permanent magnet means (12,14) generating magnetic
flux between two pairs of poles, armature (10) means mounted for movement enabling it to
occupy either a first or second rest position between the poles, and at least one
electromagnet winding (36,38) whose axis is generally perpendicular to the path of movement of
the armature. When electric current flows in the winding magnetic flux is produced in one
direction or the other, depending on the direction of the current. The flux from the
energised winding caused the armature either to remain in its current rest position or to
move into its other rest position, in which it will continue to remain after the current flow
ceases. Resiliently deformable energy storing means is provided which is deformed in
response to movement of the armature means as the latter approaches each of its rest
positions. This absorbs and stores energy from the final part of the movement of the
armature into each rest position, but becomes disengaged from the armature means as the
latter moves away from each of its rest positions, so that the armature is unrestricted in its
movement once the disengagement occurs. The device can be fitted within a sealed
chamber, and can be adapted to control the position of a closure member of a pneumatic or
hydraulic valve, or the movable member of an electrical switch, effecting closure or
opening of the contacts thereof. The device may be combined with or be adapted to
operate, a fluid flow control valve.

Abstract: A piezoelectric sheet of an ink-jet head includes dummy
individual electrodes in addition to individual electrodes
which corresponds to respective nozzles. The dummy individual
electrodes are in an outer periphery of the individual electrodes.
FPC board applies drive voltage to the individual electrodes
in a drive area, and deforms the area in the piezoelectric sheet
in the direction of an ink pressure chamber, while the drive
voltage is not applied to the individual electrodes of the
non-drive area. When the dummy individual electrodes are formed
in the non-drive area, a boundary area of the drive area and
the non-drive area is uniformly fired when the piezoelectric
sheet is manufactured. In the drive area, since surrounding
structures of the respective individual electrodes become equal
to one another, ink discharge characteristic is substantially
uniform in the boundary area of the drive area and the non-drive
area.
