Abstract: A method and apparatus which allows the transmission of the perceptually important features of a speech-coding parameter at a low bit rate. The speech coding parameter may, for example, comprise the signal power of the speech. The parameter is processed on a block by block basis. The parameter value at the block boundaries is transmitted by conventional methods such as, for example, by means of differential quantization. The shape of the reconstructed parameter contour within block boundaries is based on a classification. The classification determines perceptually important features of the parameter contour within a block. Based on the result of the classification as well as the parameter values at the block boundaries, a parameter contour (within the block) is selected from an inventory of possible parameter contours.

Abstract: The device incorporates pockets (25,26), to hold the packages, with relatively movable walls (30,31,32,33) for opening and closing. The distances between neighbouring axis-parallel revolvers (21,22,23) are chosen, so that the movement paths of the circulating pockets cut across each other in a transfer area (27) for the packages (20). The pocket walls are shaped to move past each other without contact in the transfer area. To transfer packages from one revolver to another, the pocket walls are movable between opening and closing positions, so that the packages are freed from the pockets of one revolver, and received by those of the other one.

Abstract: In a system in which communication is performed among a
plurality of devices having a mechanism of disassembling a packet into
ATM cells to send them and a plurality of devices having a mechanism
of assembling the received ATM cells into the packet, a frame is
prevented from being lost owing to change of virtual connections in the
course of transferring the frame, improving reliability of the
communication on the packet level. 
     When the switch receives a request for change of switching, it
does not processes that request at once, but confirms that the cell
located at the boundary of the frame has been processed, before
processing the change request, so as to protect the frame. 
     When the switch receives a request for change of switching, it
protects a frame by multicasting the cells to both destinations before
change and after change, for a given period of time.
