Title: Transmission of a data signal in an audio signal
Inventor: WALKER ROBERT
IPC: G10L19/018
Filed: 2004-07-14
Abstract: In a transmission, encoding or recording system for use with audio signals, a selected frequency component of the audio signal is removed and replaced by a substitute component which is synthesized from the rest of the audio signal and is modulated in dependence upon the data to be transmitted. The additional data can then be made imperceptible and the audio signal can still be processed as before, while the additional data can be readily detected. At the transmitter (12) a predictor (24) synthesizes a selected frequency component from the rest of the audio signal. The synthesized component is modulated by the data in a modulator (26), and combined in a combiner (30) with the original signal from which the selected frequency component has been removed by a band-stop filter (22). At the receiver 14, a like predictor 46 can generate the same synthesized signal for comparison with the corresponding component of the transmitted signal selected by a band-pass filter 44, the two combined in a subtractor 48 and the difference detected by a correlator 50 to retrieve the added data.

Filed: 2004-08-10
Abstract: A straddle assembly includes a number of packers (3, 4, 5, 6, fig 1) which are sequentially settable by use of compressive force. The packer assembly includes a swage 8, a body 9, and at the end of the body 9, remote from a slip 10, is an externally threaded pin connection 14 for securing the body 9 to an adjacent component.
