Abstract: A sample speech is analyzed by a speech analyzing unit to obtain sample characteristic parameters, and a coding distortion is calculated from the sample characteristic parameters in each of a plurality of coding modules. The sample characteristic parameters and the coding distortions are statistically processed by a statistical processing unit to obtain a coding module selecting rule. Thereafter, when a speech is analyzed by the speech analyzing unit to obtain characteristic parameters, an appropriate coding module is selected by a coding module selecting unit from the coding modules according to the coding module selecting rule on condition that a coding distortion for the characteristic parameters is minimized in the appropriate coding module. Thereafter, the characteristic parameters of the speech are coded in the appropriate coding module, and a coded speech is obtained. When the coded speech is decoded, a reproduced speech is obtained. Accordingly, because an appropriate coding module can be easily selected from a plurality of coding modules according to the coding module selecting rule, any allophone occurring in a reproduced speech can be prevented at a low calculation volume.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing polymeric material having enhanced structural integrity includes heating the material to a temperature between the material's glass transition temperature and the material's melt temperature. Once heated, the material is highly overstretched in a first direction and moderately overstretched in a second direction. The material is then held in the overstretched condition while it is allowed to cool to room temperature. Cooling is followed by reheating to a curing temperature. After curing for a predetermined period, the material is again allowed to cool. The completed material has high polymeric orientation in the first direction and moderate polymeric orientation in the second direction. Therefore, the material is characterized by enhanced structural integrity and absence of pinhole defects common to highly oriented polymeric materials.

Abstract: Multi-sensor correlation apparatus (10) and methods (30) for flash correlating data derived from a radar (13) and a radar warning receiver (14) to more accurately determine the direction to a threat radar (12) that emits a reflection beam in the same direction as its transmit beam. Data association is performed by comparing the intercept timing of the main transmission lobe of the threat radar (12) as observed by the radar warning receiver (14) with the intercept timing of the main reflection lobe of the threat radar (12) observed by the radar (13). The radar apparatus (10) comprises the radar (13) for detecting the reflection bean, and the radar warning receiver (14) for simultaneously detecting the transmit beam. A flash correlator (15) detects the time coincidence of the two detection events and correlates radar data generated by the radar (13) and the radar warning receiver (14) using the time coincidence detection. More specifically, the radar (13) is caused to look for a range Doppler cell that consistently jumps in magnitude at the same time the radar warning receiver (14) detects the transmission main lobe intercept of the threat radar (12). Thus, the radar (13) is cued to look for a reflection lobe at the same time the radar warning receiver (14) detects a transmission lobe.

Abstract: The slip control system of a lockup clutch (18 in Fig. 1) comprising a lockup relay valve (30) and a duty solenoid (50). The lockup relay valve (30) switches the engagement state of the lockup clutch (18) in response to the actuation of a switching solenoid (40). In the state in which the lockup relay valve (30) is switched to a position for exhausting working oil out of a release side oil chamber (26) in a torque converter (10), the duty solenoid (50) receives a duty factor correspondent to the desired value of a slip magnitude as delivered from control means (58) and then controls the quantity of exhaust of the working oil. Thus, the slip control system can attain a reduced cost and a smaller size as well as a lighter weight while being enhanced in reliability and controllability.

Abstract: An interference canceler comprises a first complex multiplier for multiplying a signal recovered from a quadrature modulated carrier by a first correlation value, and a second complex multiplier for multiplying a delayed version of the recovered signal by a second correlation value. The outputs of the multipliers are additively combined in an adder and subtractively combined in a subtractor. The output of the adder is amplified by an AGC amplifier to produce a reference signal representative of the envelope of the adder output. First correlation between the recovered signal and the reference signal is detected and the first correlation value is derived therefrom and second correlation is dctected between the delayed version of the recovered signal and the reference signal and the second correlation value is derived therefrom. One of the outputs of the amplifier and the subtractor is selected by a selector. A decision feedback equalizer operates on the output of the selector to produce a decision output and a decision error. The decision error is compared with a threshold value and the selector is controlled depending on whether the decision error is higher or lower than the threshold value.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of detecting the amount of a target sequence which may be present in a test sample. The method uses an aggregate primer series, which comprises at least two primer sets, in an amplification reaction to detect the relative concentration of a target sequence which may be present in a test sample. The primer sets have different sensitivities and hybridize with sub-target sequences which are different regions of the target sequence. The method generally comprises cycling a test sample suspected of containing a target sequence, an aggregate primer series, and means necessary for performing an amplification reaction; and detecting any amplified sub-target sequences. Based on a qualitative detection of the amplified sub-target sequences generated by individual primer sets, the relative quantity of the target sequence can be determined.
