Title: Bit sliced digital cross connect switching system controlled by port units
Inventor: BORTOLINI JAMES R
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1998-07-16
Granted: 2003-07-08
Abstract: A switching network having a plurality of independent switching groups with each switching group capable of switching one bit of each group of data from external data links through a telecommunication switching system and port units interfacing the data links directly control which of the switching groups will be active. This allows extra switching groups to be utilized as replacement switching groups should a switching group actively switching a bit of the incoming data be disabled. This increases the overall reliability of the telecommunication switching system since a failure of a port unit will only effect the external data link that is connected to that unit. In addition, this eliminates complicated and centralized control for the switching units which would be needed to inform the switching units which units should be active and the bit a given switching unit should be communicating.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un détecteur perfectionné de rotation optique qui sert à déceler, au sein d'une solution échantillon, des composés moléculaires optiquement actifs. Ledit détecteur comporte une diode laser (12) dont le faisceau traverse une fibre optique ou une lentille (14) de façon à améliorer sa qualité, un oscillateur de référence fonctionnant à une fréquence f (18), un premier polariseur (16), une cuve à flux continu (20) de configuration spéciale servant à minimiser la biréfringence mécanique et les fuites au niveau des fenêtres optiques de la cuve, un second polariseur (80) et un arrangement de détection (84) perfectionné. Cet arrangement de détection comporte un premier et un second photodétecteur servant à détecter un premier et un second signal, le premier signal étant un signal lumineux traversant le second polariseur et le second signal étant un signal lumineux réfléchi par le second polariseur. Un circuit compensateur effectue un filtrage passe-bas de ces signaux, inverse un signal et l'additionne à l'autre, puis effectue un filtrage coupe-bande des composantes non désirées de façon à produire un signal compensé. Ledit signal compensé commande alors un amplificateur de blocage qui est commandé par l'oscillateur de référence en vue de la détection du signal de fréquence f à amplitude modulée. Ce signal compensé est représentatif de l'activité optique de l'échantillon, et est cependant insensible aux fluctuations de puissance du laser.

Abstract: Rolled articles such as hot rolled or cold rolled and annealed sheet and/or strip include effective amounts of vanadium in low carbon steels to produce an improved bake hardenable product especially adapted for automotive use. The use of vanadium in the alloy steel chemistry controls bake hardenability, permits solution annealing at lower temperatures in its manufacturing sequence and specifies a composition range which is more easily cast within desired limits and causes less variation in final mechanical properties. Controlling the vanadium to carbon ratio to maintain a value of about 10 or greater also improves aging resistance.

Title: Linear predictive coding based acoustic echo cancellation
Inventor: LARIVIERE JEFF
IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 2000-12-12
Granted: 2009-11-24
Abstract: Handsfree telephony continues to be an increasingly desirable feature of modern telecommunications, whether in a conference room or mobile setting. Fundamental to the user acceptability of these systems is the performance of algorithms for acoustic echo cancellation, the purpose of which are to prevent the far-end signal from being transmitted back to the far-end talker. Most speech coding algorithms are based on some variant of Linear Predictive Coding (LPC), which reduces the amount of bits sent across a channel. Instead of doing echo cancellation in the time domain, the invention involves operating an acoustic echo canceller on the LPC parameters at the receiver, before the decoding stage. Data which has undergone this transformation is in a form more amenable to echo cancellation. Specifically, the removal of signal correlation through the LPC process improves the convergence properties of adaptive filters using simple adaptation algorithms such as the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. In addition, the echo cancellation process and coding process can share some of the computation processing load since the domain transformation is already part of the coding stage.
