Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a speech compression system (10) capable of encoding a speech signal (18) into a bitstream for subsequent decoding to generate synthesized speech (20).  <P>SOLUTION: The speech compression system (10) optimizes the bandwidth consumed by the bitstream by balancing the desired average bit rate with the perceptual quality of the reconstructed speech. The speech compression system (10) comprises a full-rate codec (22), a half-rate codec (24), a quarter-rate codec (26) and an eighth-rate codec (28). The codes (22, 24, 26 and 28) are selectively activated based on a rate selection. In addition, the full and half-rate codecs (22 and 24) are selectively activated based on a type classification.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: Material analysis apparatus and method, particularly of use in detecting barely visible impact damage but also of use to detect other material characteristics. The apparatus includes a function generator which provides a sinusoidal signal to an ultrasonic amplifier as well as to a PC. The PC is connected to an infrared camera. The sinusoidal signal is fed into the amplifier and causes two probes attached to the sample of material to emit ultrasonic energy at the modulated frequency. Ultrasonic energy from the two probes then enters the sample by means of mechanical coupling and an image of the resulting thermal radiation is captured by the infrared camera and transferred to the PC for further processing and analysis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable dispensing apparatus for delivering a powdered product nasally or orally. The apparatus comprises a housing (1) defining an outlet (7) and a shaft (32) having a storage chamber (33) therein for a product provided with a first inlet (34) and a first outlet (35). A sheathing means (4) is slidably mounted on the shaft and has a second inlet (42) and a second outlet closed by a frangible membrane (44). There is also provided a variable volume means (2) operatively connected to the shaft. The shaft is movable, on operation of the variable volume means to reduce the variable volume so as to pressurize gas in an interior of the variable volume means, from an initial storage position in which the first and second inlets are out of alignment so as to close a gas flow path, to a dispensing position in which the first and second inlets are brought into alignment by action of the housing against the sheathing means. At the same time, the frangible membrane is ruptured by the shaft so as to open the gas flow path, such that pressurized gas from the interior of the variable volume means is discharged along the gas flow path comprising the first and second inlets, storage chamber, second outlet and first outlet, to thereby entrain powdered product and dispense it through the housing outlet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for tracking an object image in an image sequence in which a template window associated with the object image is established from a first image in the image sequence and an edge gradient direction extracted. A search window associated with the object image is established from a second image in the image sequence and a second edge gradient direction associated with the search window extracted. The first and second edge gradient directions are weighted and correlated to provide a coordinate offset between relative positions of the object image in the search and template windows to track the object image in the image sequence. If the coordinate offset exceeds a predetermined value the template window is updated by establishing a new template window. Weighting further includes calculating a set of weighting coefficients for the edge gradient direction associated with the search window and the template window respectively such that a balanced contribution is provided from respective edge gradient directions in correlation. The edge direction gradient associated with the template window is auto-correlated to determine a quality measure. Extracting the second edge gradient direction further includes I filtering the second edge gradient direction and an edge magnitude, thinning the second edge gradient direction, thresholding the edge magnitude, and normalizing the second edge gradient direction if the edge magnitude is successfully thresholded.
