Abstract: The disclosed compression method utilizes a combination of both lossy and lossless compression to achieve significant compression while retaining very high subjective quality of the reconstructed or decompressed signal. Methods and apparatus for compression and decompression of digital audio data are provided. In one preferred embodiment, the compression method or apparatus has a bit rate control feedback loop particularly well suited to matching the output bit rate of the data compressor to the bandwidth capacity of a communication channel. Disclosed embodiments trade-off various error sources in order to keep perceptible distortion levels to a minimum for a fixed bit rate. Preferred embodiments also utilize a unique combination of run length and Huffman encoding methods in order to take advantage of both local and global statistics.

Abstract: An electrically conductive composite article is provided having a polytetrafluoroethylene fibril matrix and a predetermined volume. The electrically conductive composite article comprises electrically conductive particles, and electrically nonconductive, energy expanded hollow polymeric particles. The volume percent of the electrically conductive particles is at least 20 volume percent. The electrically conductive composite article is continuously electrically conductive throughout its entire structure. Accordingly, electric current freely flows through the composite article due to the low resistivity of the article.

Abstract: A battery is provided with a normal output voltage in the region of 3.6 to 5 V. The radio device has a capacitor parallel switched to the transmitter for buffering. The positive battery output voltage is up transformed to e.g. 30 V to charge the capacitor. The battery current is only slightly pulsed. The capacitor is charged and discharged during the transmission process using an inductor. The capacitor voltage sinks to e.g. 10 V. so the capacitor voltage is first raised w.r.t. the battery output voltage and then dropped to the required supply voltage of the transmitter stage.
Patent EP-0818898-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BLISCHKE FRANK DR
IPC: H04H20/55
Filed: 1997-04-18
Abstract: The method involves providing a selection of digitally encoded traffic reports output to a receiver. A priority identifying the degree of the respective traffic hold-ups is allocated to the received traffic reports. In dependence on the number of the traffic reports, the reports to be output are selected according to the priority. The priority may be derived from the occurrence of a respective received traffic report. The highest priority is allocated when a traffic report of a special category, such as extra-urgent, is received. The method involves using a receiver with a decoder for digitally encoded the reports. The decoder includes an event list for decoding the reports. In the list, for each event a priority is carried out according to the effect of events on the traffic flow. The apparatus also has a memory storing the priorities.

Abstract: The identification method involves allowing a differentiation between a standard FBAS signal (S) from a standard signal source and a non-standard FBAS signal (NS) from a non- standard source. The colour carrier of the received signal is combined with the horizontal frequency and the result is evaluated using different criteria (FSCFH, CCC) to identify a standard or non-standard signal. The identification result is used for controlling the subsequent processing of the received signal. The evaluation of the combined signal can be effected via a decision logic.

Abstract: A pilot cell having electrode plates (27, 29) is intended to be inserted in a cell in a storage battery of lead acid type. The plates (27, 29) are located at a small distance of each other in a solid housing (3), the electrolyte of the battery cell penetrating therebetween contacting only the inner, facing surfaces of the plates. The voltage over the plates (27, 29) is measured and at the same time the voltage of the plates of a reference cell (35) that is enclosed in the same housing (3) as the pilot cell plates (27, 29) but totally separate from the electrolyte of the battery cell. Based on these measurements and the temperature the remaining charge capacity of the battery is calculated. The level of the electrolyte in the battery cell is checked by measuring the voltage over a secondary cell having one plate (45) that has a lower edge placed at a suitable level and one of the plates (27 or 29) of the pilot cell. A compact unit is provided which can be mounted in a refill or inspection hole in a battery cell and by means of which a reliable charge capacity estimate can be made.

Abstract: Nouveaux supports optiques numériques sur lesquels sont enregistrés certains symboles appartenant à deux classes de codes spéciaux se trouvant dans des emplacements spécifiques déterminés. L'une des classes fournit des symboles dont le décodage, après plusieurs lectures par un lecteur classique de supports optiques, indique que les symboles en question sont valables mais qu'ils ont des valeurs variables. La seconde classe est composée de codes dont le décodeur du lecteur reconnaît immédiatement l'invalidité. Les codes de la première classe de codes spéciaux peuvent être lus par un lecteur classique de supports optiques, mais ils ne peuvent pas être écrits ou copiés par les enregistreurs classiques de supports optiques, ni par les appareils de matriçage. Par conséquent, leur présence sur les supports optiques sert à indiquer l'authenticité des supports optiques et à les distinguer d'une copie non autorisée qui serait dépourvue de ces symboles spéciaux. Les symboles de la seconde classe de codes spéciaux servent à protéger la lecture des symboles de la première classe contre toute modification ou stabilisation par le système de correction d'erreurs du lecteur. Des groupes de symboles issus des deux dites classes et disposés selon une configuration particulière constituent un marquage impossible à copier permettant la vérification automatique de l'authenticité des supports optiques, et la protection des données enregistrées sur ces supports, de sorte qu'elles ne puissent être exploitées que lorsqu'elles sont présentes sur des supports authentiques.
