Abstract: The invention provides a way of protecting a differential pair of transistors by providing a current path between input terminals of the transistors, while limiting the voltage across reversed biased junctions of the transistors. The invention also allows a larger swing of input voltage at the input terminals of the transistors. According to the present invention, an electrostatic discharge protection circuit is provided for protecting a differential pair of transistors. Each transistor includes first and second terminals and an input terminal. The second terminals of the transistors are connected to each other. The circuit comprises a pair of bypassing circuits and a clamping circuit. Each bypassing circuit is connected in parallel with a junction formed by the input and second terminals of an associated one of the transistors to limit a voltage across the junction when the junction is reverse biased. The clamping circuit is connected in parallel with the two input terminals of the transistors for setting an allowed differential voltage swing between the input terminals to a predetermined level.

Abstract: A bracket system holds one or more filters in quick-attach and quick-release fashion. Bracket modules are combined in modular fashion, with tubing or other conduit between the modules, to create a "bank" of filters easily changed in number, arrangement, and flow scheme. Preferably, the bracket system comprises pairs of top modules and bottom modules that capture and support the top end and bottom end of a filter. Filter inlet and outlet ports preferably slide onto and off of cooperating tubes or ports in the bracket modules, for installation and removal of the filters onto/from the modules without tools or threaded connections. A top retaining member preferably pivots off of its respective filter, so that the filter may be lifted up off of its respective bottom module. The bottom modules may be pivotal, so that lifting the filter up from the bracket system is facilitated by allowing the filter top end to also pivot out away from the top module. Each filter is preferably substantially vertically and pivotally removable from the bracket system.

Abstract: An improved EX-CELP or RCELP encoding scheme is proposed, in which, at the encoder side, a speech signal (S) is perceptually weighted prior to entering a time scale modification module (16), then the modified signal (MFS) is transformed into another domain, such as the speech or LP short-term residual domain, using the corresponding inverse filtering operation directly or possibly combined with another processing, for instance a short-term LP filtering. A shift function is calculated in the time scale modification process to associate the position of each sample in the modified signal with its original position before the modification. The positions of the samples in the modified signal that correspond to sub-frame boundaries of the original signal are evaluated to switch filters for the inverse filtering at the appropriate instants. Therefore, the synchronization between the inverse filters (17) and the modified signal (MFS) is maintained. <IMAGE>
