Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for determining in situ the acoustic seal provided by an in-ear device of a hearing protection/aid nature inserted into the ear canal of an individual. The in-ear device having a sound bore with an environment opening and an ear opening outside and inside the ear canal respectively, the environment opening is adapted to be removably engaged by a remote device such as a sound measurement device, a filter device, an amplifier device, a plug device and the like. The apparatus includes a sound measurement device having a probe microphone and a reference microphone isolated from each other and connected to a data processing unit having a control box and a speaker, both connected to a computer unit. Both microphones are adapted for measuring sound pressure levels inside said ear canal and outside in close proximity of said in-ear device respectively, the sound pressure levels corresponding to a known noise signal created by the speaker. The data processing unit being adapted for recording and processing the sound pressure levels read by both microphones corresponding to said known noise signal to provide a corresponding calculated value of a sound pressure level difference provided by the in-ear device. Used in conjunction with an expandable in-ear device, the apparatus monitors the acoustic seal in real time during the occlusion process of the in-ear device and determines when to stop the process. The present invention also refers to a corresponding method for determining in situ the acoustic seal provided by an in-ear device.

Abstract: Burst detection with high accuracy is achieved with a single autocorrelation circuit. Autocorrelation is performed using a preamble-embedded correlation sequence chosen such that a steeply sloped peak characterizes the autocorrelation response. The autocorrelation circuit is preferably used multiple times per clock period to deliver correlation moduli at sub-clock multiples. A contrast function makes a weighted comparison of each correlation modulus output by the autocorrelation circuit relative to adjacent correlation moduli. The contrast output defines a burst start-time uncertainty-window in a manner that is independent of signal level variability attributable to different operating conditions. A search is performed within the uncertainty window to identify the correlation maximum. Depending on the system mode (e.g., traffic mode vs. ranging mode), a priori knowledge may be preferred to the contrast output for defining the timing uncertainty window of the search. The time associated with the correlation maximum is the approximate time of the start of the burst. Burst-start indications so identified are accurate within the sub-clock multiple associated with the autocorrelation results. Parabolic interpolation is subsequently preferably used to deliver an overall burst-start indication with additional accuracy. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to improvements of predictive encoding/decoding operations performed on a signal which is transmitted over a packet switched network. The signal is encoded on a block by block basis in such way that a block A-B is predictive encoded independently of any preceding blocks. A start state 715 located somewhere between the end boundaries A and B of the block is encoded using any applicable coding method. Both block parts surrounding the start state is then predictive encoded based on the start state and in opposite directions with respect to each other, thereby resulting in a full encoded representation 745 of the block A-B. At the decoding end, corresponding decoding operations are performed.
