Patent EP-1658822-A2 (EP)
Inventor: AMUNDSEN OLE CHRISTIAN
IPC: A61C7/00
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: A dental retainer device for stabilization, so-called retention, of pairs of teeth or groups of teeth in a lower jaw and/or an upper jaw in orthodontic treatment. The retainer device is formed of a pair (2) of retainer elements, consisting of two preferably individual, but in the position of use cooperating, retainer elements (4, 6). Each of the retainer elements (4, 6) is formed with i.a. a retainer approximal surface (16, 18), the retainer approximal surfaces (16, 18) being formed complementary relative to one another. In use, one or more pairs (2) of retainer elements is/are positioned and secured with its/their individual elements (4, 6) preferably on the inner face of a tooth (20, 22) each of a pair of adjacent teeth, so that in the position of use the retainer approximal surfaces (16, 18) bear on each other and support, possibly lock, each other. Thereby pairs of teeth or groups of teeth are stabilized while it is possible at the same time to carry out normal dental hygiene by means of a toothbrush, dental floss or toothpicks, which is otherwise difficult to carry out when known retainers are used.

Title: Classification-based frame loss concealment for audio signals
Inventor: CHEN JUIN-HWEY
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 2006-07-26
Abstract: A system and method for performing frame loss concealment (FLC) when portions of a bit stream representing an audio signal are lost within the context of a digital communication system. The system and method utilizes a plurality of different FLC techniques, wherein each technique is tuned or designed for a different kind of audio signal. When a frame is lost, a previously-decoded audio signal corresponding to one or more previously-received good frames is analyzed. Based on the result of the analysis, the FLC technique that is most likely to perform well for the previously-decoded audio signal is chosen to perform the FLC operation for the current lost frame. In one implementation, the plurality of different FLC techniques include an FLC technique designed for music, such as a frame repeat FLC technique, and an FLC technique designed for speech, such as a periodic waveform extrapolation (PWE) technique.
