Patent EP-0573398-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SWAMINATHAN KUMAR
IPC: G10L25/90
Filed: 1993-05-28
Abstract: A high quality low bit rate audio codec having a reproduced voice quality that is comparable to that of a full rate codec compresses audio data sampled at 8 Khz, e.g., 64 Kbps PCM, to 4.2 Kbps or decompresses it back to the original audio or both. The accompanying degradation in voice quality is comparable to the standard 8.0 Kbps voice codes. This is accomplished by using the same parametric model used in traditional CELP coders but determining, quantizing, encoding, and updating these parameters differently. The low bit rate audio decoder is like most CELP decoders except that it operates in two modes depending on the received mode bit. Both pitch prefiltering and global postfiltering are employed for enhancement of the synthesized audio. In addition, built-in error detection and error recovery schemes are used that help mitigate the effects of any uncorrectable transmission errors.

An ID comprising information including position information indicative of a position of the information data relative to a recording medium, and an ID parity for use in detecting or correcting an error in the ID are formulated. Then, a sync pattern is formulated, followed by formulation of a sync block comprised of the sync pattern, the ID, the ID parity, the information data and the information data parity. A plurality of the sync blocks are connected together to provide a recording area. This recording area forms a track together with other recording areas. Three or more consecutive tracks forms a minimum editing unit with which recording or reproduction is carried out. Each minimum editing unit has a plurality of the sync blocks having the same information data, and the plural tracks forming each minimum editing unit includes at least one track other than those positioned on respective opposite sides of the minimum editing unit.

Abstract: An MSK receiver includes a downconverter for downconverting the received MSK signals. The phase drift or phase error per bit of the message preamble is determined. The reference carriers are generated, and the phase of the reference signals is adjusted during message demodulation under the control of the estimated rate of phase change across the preamble portion. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the downconverted MSK signal burst is digitized and the digitized burst signal is stored in memory, following which it is read repeatedly so that bit timing, start-of-message timing, carrier phase, and carrier drift processing may be performed in a desired sequence, using all the available information for more accurate demodulation. According to a yet further aspect of the invention, a second order tracking loop is used to adjust the phase of the demodulation reference signals.

Abstract: A method and system in a data processing system for customizing a graphic user interface environment by utilizing graphic manipulation of selected graphic user interface elements in order to initiate the installation of optional functions and/or features. A graphical user interface element within a graphic user interface is displayed within a first region of a display screen. A data processing system user is then permitted to temporarily remove the graphical user interface element from that first region of the display screen by temporarily rendering that graphic user interface element transparent or by temporarily displaying that graphic user interface element within an alternate region within the display screen. Thereafter, a selected area is designated within the first region, and a user-selectable object which is representative of an optional function and/or feature is displayed at the selected area within the first region, in response to that designation. The graphical user interface element is then restored to the first region, and the user-selectable object is thereafter displayed at the selected area within the graphical user interface element, thereby enabling a user to customize the graphical user interface element by adding an object within an existing element of a graphic user interface which represents an optional function and/or feature within the graphic user interface element.

Abstract: A plurality of linear prediction coefficients are calculated with past and current input speech signal in a linear prediction analyzing unit, and a predicted residual signal defined as a difference between a current input speech signal currently input and a predicted speech signal obtained with the linear prediction coefficients. A cross-correlation between a past sound source signal having one speech sub-frame length stored in a first code book and the predicted residual signal is calculated in a cross-correlation calculating unit. When the cross-correlation is low, the depression of a function of the first code book is detected, a plurality of short-length sound source signals respectively having one speech micro-frame length obtained by dividing one speech sub-frame length are taken out from a short-length signal code book in place of that a past sound source signal having one speech sub-frame is taken out from the first code book. Thereafter, a synthesis speech signal is generated from the short-length sound source signals according to the linear prediction coefficients in a synthesis filter. Therefore, the current input speech signal can be expressed by the synthesis speech signal.

Abstract: An ink jet recording head having high printing quality which is achieved independently of ambient temperature changes. An overhang portion (22) is formed on a surface of a frame (20) in such a manner that the overhang portion extends close to an island portion (9) of a resilient plate. A front end (17) of a fixed board (14) is fixed to the overhang portion (22) so that a gap (23) is interposed between a lateral side of the fixed board (14) and the frame (20). The piezoelectric vibration elements (8) are secured to the opposite end of the fixed board and abut against each of the island portions. The thickness (L0) of the overhang portion (22) affects that thermal expansion differential derived from a difference in the materials of the frame (20) and the piezoelectric vibration element. Since the thickness is minimized, the thermal expansion differential between the frame (20) and the piezoelectric vibration element (8) is correspondingly minimized.
