Abstract: An automatic accompaniment apparatus stores a plurality of chord variety
progression patterns (Figs. 9A, 9B, 9C) corresponding to the respective types
of chords. Each chord variety progression pattern is constituted by a
subprogression of plural chords provided for the corresponding chord type.
When a player designates chords in progression to be used for an automatic
accompaniment performance, the chord type of each designated chord is
detected, and each single chord will be substituted by a chord variety
progression pattern for the chord type which is the same as such a designated
single chord, under the condition that the chord variety progression function is
made operative for such a designated chord and that such a designated chord is
of a type for which a chord variety progression pattern is provided
correspondingly. As the player performs a chord progression (Fig. 10A) of a
slower change, the apparatus realizes a modified complex chord progression
(Fig. 10F) with a faster chord change to enhance the variousness in chord
progressions. The chord variety progression pattern may further include
on/off control data for the accompaniment pattern and wavy control data for
performance volume variation (Figs. 12A, 12B, 12C), thereby adding further
variety in accompaniment performance.

Abstract: The present invention provides a signal coding apparatus
including the following. A normalization circuit 101 carries
out a linear prediction or the like to extract features of an
input signal and carries out whitening. The signal whitened
is transmitted to a T/F (time axis/frequency axis) conversion
circuit 102 where the signal is subjected to a conversion such
as the MDCT so as to obtain a coefficient y on the frequency
axis. This coefficient y is supplied to a quantization (scalar
quantization (SQ) and vector quantization (VQ)) circuit 103.
A bit allocation circuit 104 uses the coefficient y ad
parameters such as an LPC coefficient and a pitch from the
normalization circuit 101 for carrying out quantization bit
allocation for each coefficient. The quantization (SQ and VQ)
circuit 103, acccrding to this allocation bit, controls whether
to carry out the SQ or VQ for each coefficient.

Abstract: In a WDM fiber-optic network, a unique laser transmitter enables signals to be
routed at three hierarchical levels: at one level discrimination among signal paths is
based on  N  WDM wavelength channels, at another level discrimination is based on  m 
AM subcarrier frequency channels, and at a third level discrimination is based on  n  FM
subcarrier frequency channels. Thus, a total of  Nmn  distinguishable optical channels can
be accommodated and a like number of users served. The laser transmitter comprises a
broadband, tunable semiconductor laser which includes an intracavity, integrated
composite reflector to which a tuning voltage and a FM dither signal are applied, an
intracavity gain section to which drive current is applied, and an extracavity, integrated
electroabsorption modulator to which an information (e.g., data, voice, video) signal
and an AM dither signal are applied. The tuning voltage provides coarse wavelength
tuning among  N  WDM channels, whereas the FM dither signal produces an additional
 m  channels via FM-SCM. The AM dither likewise produces an additional  n  channels
via AM-SCM.
