Inventor: BECHT MARKUS
IPC: H01L31/08
Filed: 2003-05-05
Abstract: A method of testing an optical electrical converter which receives an optical input signal
and provides an electrical output signal comprising the step of applying an input signal
with a parameter that is out of a specified application range being defined by the limits of
normal operational characteristics of the converter and the step of evaluating the
electrical output signal of the converter in response to the input signal applied to
determine the result of the testing procedure. According to a variant of the testing
method, the duty cycle for the input signal is varied at least once.

Abstract: The invention refers to a method for encoding an acoustic
signal (y(n)) containing a speech component and a noise
component by using an analysis through synthesis method,
wherein for encoding the acoustic signal a synthesised signal
is compared with the acoustic signal for a time interval,
said synthesised signal being described by using a fixed
codebook and an associated fixed gain, comprising the steps:
     Extracting an estimated fixed gain ( g and n   ) of the noise
component from the acoustic signal (y(n)) for the time
interval;   Representing the noise component for the time interval by
its fixed gain ( g and n   );   Estimating a signal to noise ratio of the speech component
to the noise component for the time interval based on the
signal to noise ratio of an earlier time interval and a
ratio of the acoustic signal (y(n)) to the noise component
in the time interval;   Determining a modification factor ( γ c   ) based on the
estimate of the signal to noise ratio;   Deriving an estimate of a fixed gain ( g and s   ( m )) of the speech
component by modifying said fixed gain of the speech
component with a modification factor (γ   c   ).

Abstract: A particulate filter regenerating device is configured to regenerate a particulate
filter (12) that collects particulate from engine exhaust gas. The particulate filter
regenerating device is configured to prevent the temperature of the particulate filter (12)
from exceeding an allowable temperature during regeneration when the quantity of
accumulated particulate is estimated to be lower than it actually is due to variation of the
estimate. When the amount of temperature rise per unit time of the particulate filter (12) is
larger than a prescribed value during regeneration, it is determined that the temperature of
the particulate filter (12) will soon exceed the allowable temperature and the temperature
rise amount ΔTexh of the exhaust gas is reduced (ΔTexh1 is the normal temperature rise
amount). The larger the temperature rise per unit time is, the more the temperature rise
amount of the exhaust gas is reduced.

Abstract: A transmission side has first through Nth moving picture
encoder/senders (101-1 through 101-N) for compressing moving picture frames
into N encoded data and sending the encoded data. Second through Nth
moving picture encoder/senders (101-2 through 101-N) compress frames
encoded by the first moving picture encoder/sender 101-1 at compression ratios
which are higher than that of the first encoder/sender based on interframe
prediction by referring to frames at the same time as the interframe prediction
performed by the first moving picture encoder/sender. Each one of reception
sides selects the encoded data having the lowest compression ratio and high
image quality with frame-by-frame or packet-by-packet selection from the
received encoded data without error and decodes the selected encoded data.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of determining the degree of similarity between gene expression in a biological sample of interest and that in individual reference samples by use of: i) a nucleic acid probe library representative of a pattern of gene expression in the biological sample of interest; and ii) a plurality of reference samples, each of which is a nucleic acid library representative of a pattern of gene expression in a reference biological sample from which it was derived. The method is effected by: a) forming a first set of immobilised, hybridised products by treating the individual reference samples with the probe library under hybridising conditions (one or other of the reference samples or the probe library being in immobilised form) and removing non-immobilised material; and b) forming a second immobilised product by treating a sample of the free probe library with an immobilised sample of the probe library under hybridising conditions, and removing non-immobilised material. The first set of immobilised products and the second immobilised product are then subjected to progressive dissociation, and the dissociation monitored. Comparison of the dissociation of the first set of immobilised products and the second immobilised product allows determination of the degree of similarity of gene expression in the sample of interest and in the reference biological samples.
