IPC: G10L19/02

Abstract: A scalable audio codec for a processing device determines first and second bit allocations for each frame of input audio. First bits are allocated (318) for a first frequency band, and second bits are allocated (318) for a second frequency band. The allocations are made on a frame-by-frame basis based on the energy ratio between the two bands. For each frame, the codec transform codes (320) both frequency bands into two sets of transform coefficients, which are then packetized based on the bit allocations. The packets are then transmitted (324) with the processing device. Additionally, the frequency regions of the transform coefficients can be arranged (322) in order of importance determined by power levels and perceptual modeling. Should bit stripping occur, the decoder at a receiving device can produce audio of suitable quality given that bits have been allocated between the bands and the regions of transform coefficients have been ordered by importance.

Abstract: An object access interface is described that effectively decouples a functional layer from a user interface (UI) layer. In the context of pre-existing functional objects that are specifically tailored to a pre-existing UI, a single entry point access-interface may define generic and object-specific functions. The function may be used to collect input routed to the associated function object, compile an input set in a form similar to how the pre-existing UI provided input sets, and process the compiled input and any resulting outputs from the function object.

Abstract: A modular humeral head system includes a housing having an outer surface and an inner surface. A hemispherical socket formed on one end of the inner surface and threads formed on the other end of the inner surface. A cap is attached at the threaded end of the housing. The cap has one or more threaded holes that run from the top surface to bottom surface of the cap. A screw may be inserted in each hole. The modular humeral head system also includes an intermediate piece having a hemispherical head at one end of a tapered shaft. The tapered shaft is inserted in a humeral stem. The hemispherical head and the hemispherical socket form a ball and socket coupling. A trial head may be impacted on the housing. The trial head has one or more holes that are aligned with the screws inserted in the cap. 
     In use, the assembly of the trial head, cap and housing can be adjusted to be in any angular orientation about hemispherical head. The tightening of the one or more screws fixes the angular position of the trial head. An optimum position for the trial head is established via trial reduction, the one or more screws tightened to fix the position of the head and the trial head is replaced with a humeral head of corresponding size and shape. The maximum adjustment of the angular position may be limited by a limiting mechanism. In another embodiment, bone cement or other bio-compatible material is introduced in a chamber formed between the cap and the hemispherical head.

Abstract: In a method for setting a contact position of a printing roller with a central drum and an anilox roller with the printing roller in machines for flexographic printing, in which the printing roller and the anilox roller are activated in translation by at least an electric motor along a nearing/distancing direction between a no-contact position and a contact position and a contact position with the drum, respectively with the roller associated thereto, supply of an electric current to the electric motor (30,40) is commanded in accordance with a reference value, corresponding to a value of the current which value is just sufficient to cause translation of the roller along said nearing/distancing direction (D), to which a determined angular velocity of the electric motor corresponds. An encoder is then used to detect a lag between said angular velocity and the actual angular velocity, which sharply decreases at a moment of contact between the rollers. The electric motor is then halted and the encoder is used to measure an exact linear distance travelled by the roller up to the halting of the electric motor.
