Filed: 2008-08-28
Abstract: A system and method for providing improved adaptive multi-rate wideband (AMR-WB) discontinuous transmission (DTX) synchronization.    According to various embodiments, an indication on the start of the inactive speech period is signalled to the decodervia a voice activity detection (VAD) flag a predetermined number of frames before the DTX period will start, i.e., before the SID_FIRST frame is received. When the VAD flag indicates active speech, or when the VAD flag has been set to zero less than the predetermined number of frames ago, the received NO DATA frame can be classified with a high degree of reliability as active speech, i.e., considered as transmitter, network or terminal-initiated signalling, and can be substituted by a SPEECH_LOST frame. When the VAD  flag was set to zero eight frames ago or earlier, the NO DATA frame is classified as DTX.

Title: Automated claims processing system
Inventor: BECERRA MANUEL
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2008-11-26
Abstract: A computer system-based automated loss verification system for evaluating the validity of claims filed under an insurance policy or debt protection contract is provided by this invention. Instead of requiring the claimant to contact the insurance company or lender to file the claim and provide exhaustive documentary proof of the validity of the claimed loss, the system pre-scores the relative risk of the claim using a risk assessment tool based upon predictive modeling and a number of potential risk factors. The associated automated loss verification tool uses this risk score and other information connected with the claim to assign a relative confidence level of proof of valid loss that must be satisfied before the claim can be approved through the adjudication process, and assigns a third-party supplied source or combination of sources of proof that can be automatically accessed by the system to validate the claim.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé associé permettant de faciliter la sélection de disponibilité de CODEC (codeurs-décodeurs) parmi un ensemble de CODEC au niveau d'un dispositif de communication. Un dispositif de mesure de puissance de batterie mesure le niveau d'énergie stockée d'une alimentation électrique par batterie qui alimente un dispositif de communication dont le CODEC fait partie. Un sélecteur sélectionne des CODEC disponibles en réaction au niveau de puissance mesuré. Si le niveau mesuré est inférieur à un seuil, des CODEC à fréquence d'échantillonnage élevée sont au moins rendus indisponibles à l'utilisation de manière sélective. Si le niveau de batterie est supérieur à ce seuil, des CODEC à fréquence d'échantillonnage élevée sont rendus disponibles. Si le niveau est supérieur à un seuil, les CODEC à fréquence d'échantillonnage élevée et à fréquence d'échantillonnage basse sont disponibles. Un générateur d'indication génère une indication de la sélection effectuée par le sélecteur.
