Title: Data signal discrimination method and apparatus
IPC: H04L27/06
Filed: 1990-02-22
Granted: 1993-01-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for discriminating the data signal of a transmitter means. Binary encoded data is transmitted between a transmitter means and a receiver means in an amplitude modulated signal varying about a threshold level. A means and method are included for determining the number of threshold crossings of the carrier during each of a number of discrete successive time intervals. A further method and means characterizes those of said time intervals wherein the number of threshold crossings equals or exceeds a first predetermined number as a mark, and those of said time intervals wherein the number of threshold crossings does not exceed said predetermined number as a null. The number of successive marks not separated by a predetermined number of nulls is then counted by a further aspect of the method and means. A series of successive marks in excess of a second predetermined number is then characterized as a one, and a series of successive marks in a range below said second predetermined number is characterized as a zero. The signal transmitted by said transmitter means is discriminated from interference by spurious signals.

Abstract: A method and an installation for controlling the filling of containers (5) with a flowable product in a filling installation has a product reservoir (1) and a filling unit (3) for simultaneously filling several containers (5). The method consists in: measuring the total real flow rate of product delivered by the filing unit (3) to the whole set of containers (5); detecting the number n of containers (5) being filled in the filling unit (3); displaying a theoretical flow rate q of the individual filling of the containers (5); comparing the total real flow rate measured and the theoretical flow rate n.q; and, correcting, if necessary, the total real flow rate to make it coincide with the theoretical flow rate. The operation of the installation is thereby adapted to the exact number of containers being actually filled simultaneously, with no significant variations of real individual filling flow rates.

Title: Digital speech vocoder
Inventor: BRONSON EDWARD CHARLES
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 1987-09-10
Granted: 1989-01-05
Abstract: A speech analyzer and synthesizer system using a sinusoidal encoding and decoding techniques for voiced frames and noise excitation or multiple pulse excitation for unvoiced frames. For voiced frames, the analyser (100) transmits the pitch, values for each harmonic frequency by defining the offset from integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, total frame energy, and linear predictive coding, LPC, coefficients (FIG. 1). The synthesizer (200) is responsive to that information to determine the phase of the fundamental frequency and each harmonic based on the transmitted pitch and harmonic offset information and to determine the amplitudes of the harmonics utilizing the total frame energy and LPC coefficients (FIG. 2). Once the phase and amplitudes have been determined for the fundamental and harmonic frequencies, the sinusoidal analysis is performed for voiced frames. For each frame, the determined frequencies and amplitudes are defined at the center of the frame, and a linear interpolation is used both to determine continuous frequency and amplitude signals of the fundamental and the harmonics throughout the entire frame by the synthesizer. In addition, the analyzer initially adjusts the pitch so that the harmonics are evenly distributed around integer multiples of this pitch.
