Title: An adaptive threshold voiced detector
Inventor: THOMSON DAVID LYNN
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 1988-01-12
Granted: 1990-07-05
Abstract: Apparatus for detecting a fundamental frequency in speech by statistically analyzing a discriminant variable generated by a discriminant voiced detector (102) so as to determine the presence of the fundamental frequency in a changing speech environment. A statistical calculator (103) is responsive to the discriminant variable to first calculate the average of all of the values of the discriminant variable over the present and past speech frames and then to determine the overall probability that any frame will be unvoiced. In addition, the calculator informs two values, one value represents the statistical average of discriminant values that an unvoiced frame's discriminant variable would have and the other value represents the statistical average of the discriminant values for voice frames. These latter calculations are performed utilizing not only the average discriminant value but also a weight value and a threshold value which are adaptively determined by a threshold calculator (104) from frame to frame. An unvoiced/voiced determinator (105) makes the unvoiced/voiced decision by utilizing the weight and threshold values.

Title: Circuit arrangements for recovering the clock rate of an isochronous binary signal
Inventor: THANHAUSER GERHARD
IPC: H04L7/02
Filed: 1986-05-14
Granted: 1989-05-11
Abstract: The circuit described is an improvement of a known circuit for recovering the clock of an isochronous binary signal, in which set pulses are generated in dependence on the change of edges of the binary signal by a delay circuit and a comparison circuit, which reset a counter, the counter being clocked by a clock source, the frequency of which is a multiple of the clock frequency to be recovered. In the known circuit, missampling by means of the recovered clock is not impossible if the binary signal is very noisy and/or contains long sequences of identical binary values. To eliminate this deficiency, an output of the counter, at which a clock with the nominal frequency of the clock to be recovered is present, is connected to the input for the guide variable of a phase-locked loop and the output variable of the phase-locked loop is used as recovered clock. <IMAGE>
