Title: System and method for near-end talker detection by spectrum analysis
Inventor: MCLAUGHLIN HUGH J
IPC: H04B3/20
Filed: 2000-05-18
Abstract: A full duplex speakerphone system and a method of detecting a valid near-end talker component within an outgoing signal utilize a near-talker estimator that produces a near-talker energy estimate using a spectrum analysis. The near-talker energy estimate is indicative of the amount of the valid near-end talker component within the outgoing signal. Depending on the near-talker energy estimate, the system may attenuate the outgoing signal and/or incoming signal and adjust the filter process executed by an adaptive filter of the system in order to provide a clear voice communication between connected parties. In the preferred embodiment, the near-talker estimator operates with at least one processing unit to sample the outgoing signal that has been filtered, or "cancelled," of echo by an acoustic echo canceller of the system. The energy of the echo-cancelled outgoing signal is compared to an echo energy envelope to determine whether a certain portion of the echo-cancelled outgoing signal can be attributed to a valid near-end talker. The echo energy envelope represents a potential echo return of the incoming signal in a worst case scenario that has been increased by several factors, such as an external gain, ERLE, and a preselected uncertainty factor. The energy of the echo-cancelled outgoing signal and the echo energy envelope are examined with a noise floor estimate, which is derived from the echo-cancelled outgoing signal, to produce the near-talker energy estimate.

Title: Sonet receive signalling translator
Inventor: BAYDAR ERTUGRUL
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1990-05-04
Abstract: The four signaling bits contained in the eight-bit SONET signaling bytes are read from the SONET signaling row and are converted to four parallel signaling bits for storage in a RAM (10) in quasi-SONET format with sets of four A, four B, four C and four D bits for four consecutive channels being stored for an even and an odd tributary in one RAM memory row. Storing sets of four of the same bit for four consecutive channels simplifies the RAM write operation. A read-modify-write system (16) is used for updating the RAM storage, wherein a row of the RAM (10) is read, modified by eight new signaling bits from two consecutive SONET signaling bytes and is rewritten into the RAM (10). New signaling bits are stored to accumulate eight new signaling bits for two tributaries prior to updating the RAM (10) with the new bits for both tributaries. The 32 signaling bits output during a RAM (10) read operation are selectively multiplexed to output only for bits associated with a particular channel. <IMAGE>

Title: Coating for prosthetic devices
Inventor: WILLIAMS STUART KONRADD
IPC: A61L27/38
Filed: 1986-06-03
Abstract: A novel implantable prosthesis for implantation in human patients is disclosed which comprises a synthetic substrate and a Type IV/V collagen surface layer seeded with a confluent monolayer of autologous endothelial cells. In the preferred embodiment, a base layer of interstitial collagen is adhered to the substrate. The Type IV/V collagen surface layer is provided in a laminate comprising an intermediate layer of interstitial collagen which is covalently bound to the aforementioned base layer. A cross linking agent, such as glutaraldehyde, is utilized to covalently bind the interstitial collagen base layer to the substrate, and the collagen intermediate layer to the base layer. The cross linking agent is subsequently deactivated with a soluble peptide, such as lysine. Autologous endothelial cells, such as microvascular endothelial cells derived from adipose tissue, are then seeded at high densities on the pretreated graft material. Those cells adhere in suitable percentages within times compatible with most vascular surgical procedures, and, even more importantly, flatten on that surface to assume the appearance of a natural, cobblestone morphology. The subject surface is resistant to shear stress, and yields good results when tested as a vena cava implant in dog.
