Patent AU-1837888-A (AU)
Title: Code excited linear predictive vocoder and method of operation
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 1988-06-24
Abstract: Apparatus (101-112) for encoding speech using an improved code excited linear predictive (CELP) encoder (106, 104) using a virtual searching technique (708-712) to improve performance during speech transitions such as from unvoiced to voiced regions of speech. The encoder compares candidate excitation vectors stored in a codebook with a target excitation vector representing a frame of speech to determine the candidate vector that best matches the target vector by repeating a first portion of each candidate vector into a second portion of each candidate vector. For increased performance, a stochastically excited linear predictive (SELP) encoder (105, 107) is used in series with the adaptive CELP encoder. The SELP encoder is responsive to the difference between the target vector and the best matched candidate vector to search its own overlapping codebook in a recursive manner to determine a candidate vector that provides the best match. Both of the best matched candidate vectors are used in speech synthesis.

Patent AU-2015600-A (AU)
Title: An access control mechanism for packet switched communication networks
Inventor: LANDBERG CHRISTER
IPC: H04L47/56
Filed: 1999-12-01
Abstract: In a point-to-multipoint link traffic is transmitted in packets across the shared medium. Access to the medium is controlled by permits sent by a central node to multipoint nodes in response to a queue record of the number of packets awaiting transmission at the multipoint nodes. When circuit emulated traffic, or traffic with tight delay and delay variation requirements, is to be sent across the link, permits are sent by the central node unsolicited at regular intervals in accordance with information stored in a scheduler. The scheduler may be a single or several circular memories comprising cells representing time slots on the link. The cells contain scheduling information corresponding to one or more multipoint nodes. The central node consults the scheduler to determine if a permit is scheduled. If no permit is scheduled the time slot may be allocated to an unscheduled service on the basis of a queue record.

Abstract: An inflatable thermal blanket with a multilayer sheet and a method of use are disclosed for delivering thermally-controlled air to a person. The apparatus includes an inflatable structure formed from joining a first sheet and a second sheet. An inlet is provided into the inflatable structure for receiving thermally-controlled air. A multilayer sheet, made from a plurality of sheets releasably attached together, is attached to the second sheet. Means are provided for exhausting the thermally-controlled air from the inflatable thermal blanket. In the method of use, the inflatable thermal blanket is deployed in a first use and a source of thermally-controlled air is attached to the inflation port admitting thermally-controlled air into the inflatable structure and exhausting thermally-controlled air. Additionally, the inflatable thermal blanket may be reused by detaching the lowest layer of the multilayer sheet, exposing another layer of the multilayer sheet and deploying the inflatable thermal blanket in a second or later use. These steps may be repeated until the last layer of the multilayer sheet is used, when the thermal blanket may be discarded. In an alternate embodiment, when the multilayer sheet is exhausted it is detached and another multilayer base sheet is attached to the inflatable structure and the thermal blanket is used again.

Title: Multi-reference, high-accuracy switching amplifier
Inventor: KIRN LARRY
IPC: H03F3/30
Filed: 1999-11-12
Abstract: A switching amplifier employs a plurality of independent output stages in a bridged configuration, with each output stage presenting the product of an independent duty cycle and two or more static of dynamic reference voltages, currents or powers to a single terminal of a common output load. A plurality of electrically controlled switches (207, 208, 209, 210, 211, 212) interconnect the references to the load (218), with a waveform generator (220) controlling the switches for a coarse and fine control of power to the load. The waveform generator preferably uses pulse-code modulation (PCM), though the invention is not limited in this regard, and is applicable to any modulation scheme or waveform suitable to sequence the electrically controlled switches. The load is preferably filtered on either side, and return paths for the power supplies (i.e., ground) are connected through separate switches to the load through the filters (213, 214, 215, 216, 217). The amplifier may be used for audio or other applications benefitting from the design.

The second catalyst component of the new catalyst compositions is an organometal compound of the formula: M<3>R<4>e-fXf wherein M<3> is aluminum, magnesium, zinc or mixtures thereof; R<4> is a saturated hydrocarbyl radical; X is hydrogen, halogen or an alkoxy. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the solution made by combining the magnesium dihydrocarbyloxide, dissolved in an inert solvent, with the transition metal hydrocarbyloxide, is reacted with a carboxylic acid derivative, of the formula R<5>COZ, wherein R<5> is a hydrocarbyl radical and Z is a halogen atom or an alkoxy radical. An important characteristic of this invention is that the new catalyst compositions give significantly higher hydrogen and comonomer responses and greater productivity with larger average particle size and higher bulk density than with at least certain state of the art catalysts.
