Date Apr. 18, 1991.A method of transmitting an analog signal including the steps of converting the analog signal into a digital signal and using windows to subdivide the digital signal into successive blocks. The blocks are evaluated for level changes, and when a level change is below a predetermined level the blocks are overlapped by 50%. The signal segments within the blocks assessed using analysis windows. The signal segments are transformed using subsampling and time domain aliasing cancellation to compensate for aliasing components. The signal segments are inverse transformed and assessed using synthesis windows. The blocks are rejoined in overlapping fashion. When the level change is above the predetermined level the signals are subdivided into blocks and the blocks are overlapped by less than 50%, or not overlapped at all. The signal segments are fully scanned, compressed and transformed. The signal segments are finally inverse transformed and expanded.

Abstract: A monomer-rich acrylic syrup is cast including about 10% to about 20% ground acrylic particles. During curing, the particles absorb over half their weight in monomer, and a cured sheet is formed in which the matrix monomer and uncrosslinked polymer form a phase which extends through the particles, while the particles appear to be fused together. Including a crosslinker in the syrup further insures the interpenetration of the matrix phase into the swollen particles. A textured surface is formed, which is useful as an anti-slip surface in bathtubs and shower stalls, after thermoforming.
