Title: Confidence and frame signal quality detection in a soft decision convolutional decoder
Inventor: WONG WING TAK KENNETH
IPC: H03M13/45
Filed: 1996-10-03
Abstract: The application is concerned with transmission of data using convolutional codes and particularly with transmission of digitally coded speech signals.  Received signals are processed (111) to generate confidence measure signals.  Before these are forwarded to a soft decision decoder (116), correction factors are applied, e.g. by a look-up table (113), to reduce the extent to which the signals differ from a logarithmic representation of the error statistics of the received signals.  Alternatively, or as well, the confidence measure signals may be summed (122) and thresholded (123) to provide a quality-indicating signal.   In a coder, error check bits for a frame of bits to be convolutionally coded are generated from bits taken from the beginning and end of the frame but not the middle.

Title: Laminated multiaxial press fabric
Inventor: YOOK STEVEN S
IPC: D21F1/00
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: An on-machine-seamable laminated multiaxial press fabric has a first base fabric and a second base fabric laminated to one another by needled staple fiber batt material. The first base fabric is a multiaxial fabric produced by spirally winding a fabric strip, flattening the endless loop produced by the spiral winding, and removing crosswise yams at the ends of the flattened endless loop to form seaming loops. The second base fabric is an on-machine-seamable base fabric, which may also be mutiaxial.
