Title: Computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation for coding method and apparatus
Inventor: DAVIDSON GRANT ALLEN
IPC: G10L19/035
Filed: 1994-07-18
Abstract: The invention relates in general to low bit-rate encoding and decoding of information such as audio information. More particularly, the invention relates to computationally efficient adaptive bit allocation and quantization of encoded information useful in high-quality low bit-rate coding systems. In audio applications, a digital split-band encoder splits an input signal into frequency subband signals having bandwidths commensurate with the critical bandwidths of the human auditory system, quantizes the subband signals according to values established by an allocation function, and assembles the quantized subband signals into an encoded signal. The allocation function establishes allocation values in accordance with psychoacoustic principles with allowance for decoding synthesis filter bank spectral distortions. In one embodiment, an allocation function establishes allocation values using a psychoacoustic masking threshold generated by estimating the power spectral density (PSD) of the input signal, generating an excitation pattern by applying a basilar-membrane spreading function to the PSD, adjusting the excitation pattern by an amount equal to a sensitivity function which specifies a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sufficient to achieve psychoacoustic masking, comparing the level of the adjusted pattern to the threshold of hearing and generating the psychoacoustic masking threshold which is equal to the larger of the two. An allocation function may allow for decoder synthesis filter bank spectral distortions in any of a number of ways such as by adapting the sensitivity function.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of drying and sintering porous optical fiber preforms, especially those consisting of a solid glass core cane surrounded by a layer of cladding soot. The porous preform (11) is heated isothermally and dried in a chlorine atmosphere. The porous preform (11) is again isothermally heated to increase its temperature to just below that at which it would begin to rapidly densify. The temperature of the tip of the preform (11) is then increased to sintering temperature. After the preform tip densifies and clarifies, the hot zone traverses the preform (11) so that sintering progresses from the initially consolidated tip to the other end of the preform. By isothermally increasing the furnace temperature to just below sintering temperatures, the entire preform is preheated and, ultimately, the time subsequently required at sintering temperatures is markedly reduced.

Abstract: A scrap particle sorting system and attendant sorting process employs a conveyor for conveying the randomly shaped particles in a random orientation, a position sensor for determining the advancement of the scrap particles in the direction of conveyance by determining the position of the conveyor belt, an image detector for periodically recording the image of a predefined viewing area through which the scrap particles are conveyed, and an image processor for periodic acquisition and processing of the images. The image processor includes logic for defining each image of the viewing area into a matrix of cells, and for each acquired image, analyzing the digital data corresponding to the image to determine for each cell in the matrix whether the pixels in that cell satisfy a predetermined criteria, and establishing a discriminator signal for each cell in the matrix as a function of that analysis. The system employs an image detector controller for receiving a signal from the conveyor position sensor and sending an activation signal to the image processor at timed intervals to acquire sequential image frames which include each of the scrap particles as they are conveyed past the viewing area, and a separator controller for receiving the discriminator signals from the image processor and for sending a control signal to selectively activate the appropriate portion of the separator to eject desired from undesired particles.
