Title: Method to control the dynamic range of a signal
Inventor: RIBIC ZLATAN
IPC: H03F3/181
Filed: 2018-07-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for modifying an input signal, preferably an audio signal, comprising the splitting of the input signal into at least a first input part and a second input part, the amplification of at least the first input part with a linear gain to create a first output part and the nonlinear amplification of at least the second input part of the input signal to create a second output part and summing the first output part and the second output part in order to provide an output signal. To decrease the probability of pumping and audible gaps and enhance the intelligibility of spoken words, for the nonlinear amplification an instant amplitude signal correlated to the second input part is generated and used for controlling the nonlinear amplification and the instant amplitude signal is generated by producing an analytical signal consisting of two Hilbert-signals with the same energy spectrum as the second input part and calculating the square root of the sum of the squares of the Hilbert signals.

Abstract: Described herein are solid, pharmaceutical compositions, dosage forms and methods of making and using the same, wherein the solid compositions comprise at least one high viscosity agent. The solid, high viscosity agent-comprising pharmaceutical compositions, when comprised of an opioid drug, can reduce the potential for abuse of such drug. The solid dosage forms are characterized by having a significantly reduced extractability of an opioid drug comprised therein upon contact of the dosage form with a solvent such as a typical household solvent. The solid dosage forms, following contact with a household solvent, such as an aqueous or alcoholic solvent, generate a high viscosity solution, thereby discouraging abuse of the resulting formulation via intravenous (IV) injection.
