Abstract: Harmonics coefficients are estimated in primary coefficients of an orthogonal transform of a speech or a music input signal by using a pitch frequency extracted from the input signal and are quantized into a harmonics code vector. Residue coefficients are calculated by removing the harmonics coefficients from the primary coefficients and quantized into residue code vectors and gain code vectors. It is possible to search harmonics excitation pulses at the harmonics locations for harmonics quantization into the harmonics code vector. 
On the other hand, it is possible to estimate the harmonics coefficients or excitation pulses by using quantized LSP parameters and to calculate secondary coefficients for use in weighting the harmonics quantization and residue quantization and, if applicable, in excitation pulse search.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling transmission of a data stream by a server to a plurality of clients in a multicast group. In a first embodiment, one of the clients in a multicast group is designated as a leader. When a service request for transmission of a portion of the data stream is received by the server from any of the clients, the server determines if the service request was from the leader. Responsive to determining that the service request was from the leader, the server broadcasts the portion of the data stream to the clients in the multicast group. Otherwise the broadcasting is deferred. In another embodiment responsive to receipt of the service request for playout of a portion of a video (e.g. a block) from any of the clients in a multicast group, the server determines if a predetermined broadcast criteria has been satisfied. If so the server broadcasts the requested portion to all of the clients in the multicast group. Otherwise, the portion is not multicast to the group and the system is again checked against the broadcast criteria when another service request is received from any of the clients.

Abstract: A focal plane array (FPA) including a layered composite structure having several layers of
materials with differing thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) and thicknesses to stabilize and
maintain FPA performance during thermal cycling and excursions. An optical substrate is coupled
to a multiplexer through a network of indium bumps. The typical TEC mismatch of the layered
materials is offset by particularly selecting the types of materials used and the thicknesses of the
individual layers of the FPA. Consequently, undesirable deflections and distortion of the
multiplexer and the indium bumps are minimized, thereby substantially improving FPA reliability.

Abstract: As an input transformer connected between an
unbalance transmission line (10) and a balanced broadband
amplifier (12) is used a transmission-line transformer
(11) having a fixed middle potential. The transmission-line
transformer (11) converts an input signal into two
output signals having opposite phase each other which are
supplied to the broadband amplifier (12). It is
therefore possible to cancel secondary distortion in an
amplifying unit. As the transmission-line transformer
(11) is used a forced-balun type transmission-line
transformer having two input ports (P1, P2) and three
output ports (P3, P4, P5) one (P4) of which is grounded.
Between the input ports and the output ports, first and
second two-wire parallel lines are arranged via a signal
glasses-shaped core having an impedance ratio of
1:(1/2):(1/2).

Abstract: A plasma etching method and apparatus are provided in which a
distance between an ejection opening (20a) in a plasma generator (2) for ejecting
an active species gas and a surface of an object to be etched can be changed to
thereby shorten the time required for a surface flattening operation and reduce the
cost of equipment as well. To this end, the ejection opening (20a) of a
predetermined diameter is disposed in confrontation with a desired convex of the
object to be etched in the form of a wafer (110). The active species gas in the
form of an F gas (G) is ejected from the ejection opening (20a) to the convex to
thereby flatten it through etching. A distance between the ejection opening and
the convex is changed by means of a Z drive mechanism (4) to provide an etching
area corresponding to an area of the convex, thus performing effective flattening
of the wafer (110).

Abstract: A method for on-line reconstruction of a failed storage unit in a redundant array
system. After providing a replacement storage unit for the failed storage unit,
reconstruction begins for each data stripe in the array. General reconstruction
consists of applying an error-correction operation (such as an XOR operation on
data blocks and a corresponding parity block) to the data blocks from the remaining
storage units in the redundancy group, and storing the result in the corresponding
block of the replacement storage unit. If a Read operation is requested
by the CPU for a data block on the replacement storage unit, then a concurrent
Read task is executed which reconstructs the stripe containing the requested data
block. If a Read operation is requested by the CPU for a data block not on the
replacement storage unit, a concurrent Read task is executed which performs a
normal Read. If a Write operation is requested for any data block, then a
concurrent Write task is executed which performs a Read-Modify-Write sequence
in the general case (the Read operation being performed in accordance with the
above rules).
