Abstract: L'invention concerne la sélection d'additifs de traitement destinés à être mélangés de manière optimale avec un liquide contaminé. L'énergie requise pour le mélange du liquide contaminé et des additifs de traitement est ensuite déterminée par mélange des additifs de traitement à une palette de vitesses de mélange et par mesure de la turbidité, de manière à déterminer la durée et la vitesse de mélange produisant la plus faible turbidité. Une faible énergie requise pour le mélange nécessite une durée plus courte et une vitesse plus faible de mélange qu'une énergie plus élevée requise pour le mélange. Le liquide contaminé et les additifs de traitement sélectionnés sont ensuite dirigés dans un système de mélange (32) comprenant au moins un hydrocyclone (20). Chaque hydrocyclone (20) comprend un rapport d'aspect d'admission et des longueur et diamètre du cylindre sélectionnés en fonction de la détermination de l'énergie requise pour le mélange. La modification du rapport d'aspect, du diamètre et de la longueur de l'hydrocyclone entraîne des vitesses et durées de mélange diverses, pouvant être optimisées pour les liquide contaminé et additifs de traitement donnés.

Abstract: A CELP speech coder/decoder capable of accepting a quantization algorithm in a quantizing section using a multi-stage predictive vector quantization method. The vector quantization of a target is carried out in the multistage predictive vector quantization. The target is obtained and is further vector-quantized. A vector of a first target vector is predicted by a predicting section. The searching section carries out the decoding of the vector using decoded vectors from vector codebooks based on the codes for codevector A and codevector B. The amplitude is obtained from the amplifer storing section and past-decoded vectors stored in the state storing section. The apparatus and method reduce the coded distortion. The apparatus may be employed in speech coding and/or decoding for music, images, or in cellular phones.
