Inventor: MONRO DONALD MARTIN
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2002-03-07
Abstract: An audio codec and a method of compressing audio data makes use of a filterbank which automatically adapts itself to changes in the sampling frequency/bit rate to mimic the characteristics of the human auditory system. The algorithm used compares the bandwidth of each sub-band at a given depth with the critical bandwidth. If the critical bandwidth is less than the bandwidth of the sub-band, then the sub-band is split into two at the next level, and the process is repeated until the bandwidth of every sub-band is less than the critical bandwidth at the corresponding frequency. The codec thus automatically adapts itself to changes in sampling frequency/bit rate, which particularly advantageous when very low bandwidths are in use.

Patent EP-1619878-A3 (EP)
Inventor: TARDIF JOHN A
IPC: H04N5/12
Filed: 2005-07-18
Abstract: When playing back audio/video streams, many playback devices try to recreate the audio and video clocks used for encoding. One means typically employed to recreate such clocks includes the use of a Phased Locked Loop (PLL) circuit. The audio and video should remain synchronized. However, many reasonable cost PLLs cannot recreate the exact video clock used for encoding. The synchronization of the video to the audio can be resolved by adjusting one or more of the dimensions (or other variables) that define the video being recreated. Changing the dimensions (or other variables) of the video allows for an adjustment of the output frequency of the PLL to a value that can be implemented.

IPC: H04L27/26

Abstract: A heterodyne receiver converts a received high frequency signal into an intermediate frequency signal and demodulates a base band signal from a intermediate frequency signal. Low-pass filters (57a, 57b) cut the high frequency components of the baseband signal, and AD converters (58a, 58b) sample the output signal of those low-pass filters, convert them to a digital signal and input them to a Fourier transformer (59). An intermediate frequency determining part (60) determines the intermediate frequency so that the spectrum when the intermediate frequency signal being inputted to the AD converter is under-sampled appears within a subcarrier band not used in OFDM transmission.

Abstract: A lubrication arrangement for interlocking gears 2, 3 is configured by a housing 1 which incorporates sections la, lb of a snail cross-section. Thus, rotating gears 2, 3 are positioned to generate a centrifugal pumping effect between those gears 2, 3 and the housing sections la, lb which drives scavenged oil flow into a volute 11 formed by the opposing surface of the housing la, lb. The scavenged oil is driven in the direction 13 towards an off- take 12 configured such that there is a minimum available cross-sectional area 14 between the housing at the intermeshing of the gears 2, 3 at an interlocking location 4. In such circumstances the scavenged oil is driven at relatively high speed through the off-take 12. Such relatively high speed scavenged oil 15 can be used for displacement scavenging in other parts of an engine or machine where problems exist with oil residence.

Abstract: For a serial inkjet printing apparatus that performs printing by employing ink having different properties, the occurrence of smear is prevented without the printing speed being deteriorated more than necessarily. Therefore, a high duty area, i.e., a unit area for which a large amount of ink is applied, is detected in a preceding printing medium. Then, while taking into account the scanning direction (ink application order) in which the detected high duty area has been printed, the period until the following printing medium is permitted to contact the high duty area is determined. Then, during printing of the following printing medium, the printing operation is delayed, so that, within the determined period of time, the following printing medium does not contact the high duty area of the preceding printing medium.
