IPC: G10L25/78
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: A method of decoding a speech signal based on a CELP
(Code Excited Linear Prediction) with improvement in
degradation of decoded sound quality in a noise period.
The method includes the steps of: calculating a norm of an
excitation vector for each fixed period in a noise period;
smoothing the calculated norm using a norm obtained in a
previous period; changing the amplitude of the excitation
vector in the period using the calculated norm and the
smoothed norm; and driving a synthesizing filter by the
excitation vector with the changed amplitude.

Abstract: Disclosed are a printing apparatus and a method of
controlling printing through which highly precise
printing can be performed without inviting an increase
in production cost or in the size of the apparatus. In
accordance with the control method, a printing starting
position is decided based upon input print data whenever
a printing medium undergoes one printing scan by a
printhead. Whether or not the printing starting
position decided falls within a predetermined range is
discriminated. If it has been discriminated that the
printing starting position falls within the
predetermined range, the scanning starting position of
the printhead scanned by the carriage is set to a
position spaced a predetermined first distance away from
one end of a range within which printing can be
performed on the printing medium. If it has been
discriminated that the printing starting position falls
outside the predetermined range, the scanning starting
position of the printhead is set to a position spaced a
predetermined second distance away from the printing
starting position. After the carriage to which the
printhead is mounted has been moved to the set position,
printing is performed by moving the carriage.

Abstract: A control surface assembly includes: a control surface member; a shaft
attached to the control surface member; a control system connected with the shaft;
and a bearing. The shaft has a longitudinal axis defining an axis of rotation for the
control surface member. The control system is configured to induce rotation in the
shaft about the axis of rotation such that the control surface member rotates
between a first preselected position and a second rotated position. The bearing
includes a first member (12), a second member (16) and a resilient intermediate member (14)
positioned between and attached to the first (12) and second members (16). The first
member (12) is attached to the shaft (26), and the second member (16) is adapted for non-releasable
fixed attachment to the vehicle during operation of the vehicle. In
response to rotation induced by the control system during operation, the first
member (12), the shaft (26) and the control surface member (16) rotate about the axis of rotation
from the preselected to the rotated position, the second member (16) remains fixed
relative to the vehicle, and the intermediate member undergoes angular deflection
and biases the first member (12), shaft (26) and control surface member (16) to rotate toward the
preselected position, such that disabling of the control system causes the control
surface member to return to the preselected position.
