Title: Speech coding system and a method of encoding speech
IPC: G10L19/12
Filed: 1990-08-10
Abstract: A speech coding system of the code excited linear prediction (CELP) type comprises means (24,26) for filtering digitised speech samples to form perceptually weighted speech samples. Entries in a one-dimensional codebook (110) comprising frame length sequences are filtered in a perceptually weighted synthesis filter (28) to form a one-dimensional filtered codebook (38). The filtered codebook entries are compared with the perceptually weighted speech signals to obtain a codebook index which gives the minimum perceptually weighted error when the speech is resynthesised. Using a one-dimensional codebook (110) reduces the amount of computation which is required compared to using a two-dimensional codebook.

Title: Substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymers
IPC: C08G73/18
Filed: 1990-02-26
Abstract: This invention discloses a unique process for the 
preparation of N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymers 
from unsubstituted polybenzimidazole polymers. An unsubstituted 
polybenzimidazole polymer is first reacted with an alkali hydride 
to produce a polybenzimidazole anion which is then reacted with a 
substituted or an unsubstituted phenyl fluoride to produce 
N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymer. The 
N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymer produced by this 
process can be formed into a wide range of products, such as 
membranes, films resins or fibers. The produce can be designed 
to meet special applications by the choice of the substituent. 
These N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymers can be 
utilized for numerous applications including reverse osmosis, 
ultrafiltration, microfiltration, electrodialysis, ion exchange

Patent EP-0572865-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 1993-05-19
Abstract: A system of managing memory used by communications tasks of a communications network operating with a multi-layered communications protocol. Specially formatted buffers are used to contain data to be passed down the protocol stack of a source node, across a communications link, and up the protocol stack of a destination node. Before entering the source stack, message data is presegmented so that each buffer contains only so much message data as may be transmitted as a single data unit from source to destination, even after all layers of the source stack have added layer headers to that portion. Then, when the buffers are being passed within the source stack, any layer may segment the message data by simply unlinking buffers and adding its layer header to each segment. Inter-layer data passing is by means of exclusive access to buffers by one layer at a time. At the source stack, any layer that must send multiple copies of the message data may checkpoint the buffers and thereby regain the same buffers. At the destination stack, the buffers may be reassembled by relinking them. <IMAGE>

Inventor: KIRSCHNER MARK J
IPC: D21C9/10
Filed: 1994-08-10
Abstract: An oxygen delignification method and apparatus in which a charge of heated
wood pulp is reacted with oxygen in the presence of a charge of caustic soda in
a plurality of reaction stages 28, 30 and 32 which alternate with mixing stages
22, 24 and 26 in which caustic is mixed with the wood pulp. The use of the
plurality of mixing stages reduces peak pH exposure of the wood pulp that
would otherwise occur if the charges of caustic soda and wood pulp were
mixed all at once. Moreover, the caustic soda mixed in such manner replenishes
neutralized caustic soda and ensures that the average pH level is increased
above that in conventional oxygen delignification. The increase in average pH
level favours an increase in the delignification. Effluent liquor from a reacted
wood pulp washing stage 24 is introduced into the mixing stages 22, 24 and 26
to prevent wood pulp degradation. Oxygen is mixed within the wood pulp by a
wood pulp mixer that employs coaxial perforate passageways between which
the wood pulp is retained and driven but which allow the oxygen to pass in an
inward radial direction of the passageways to mix with the wood pulp.

Inventor: RAO CHUNG-HWA HERMAN
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 1995-07-19
Abstract: Techniques for providing replicated files in a distributed system. A replicated file
has a set of copies in components of the distributed system. Operations on the copies
have the same semantics for the application processes accessing them as operations
on a single copy of a file in a system where all processes execute on the same host.
These semantics are achieved by means of a distributed synchronization system.
Each replicated file has a read token and a write token. In order for an application
process to perform an operation on a replicated file, the token required for the
operation must be in the process's host and the process must have access to the
token. Tokens are passed between hosts by token servers which respond to requests
for tokens from application processes and from other token servers. The techniques
are implemented using a library which replaces a standard I/O library, and may thus
be employed without modification to hardware or the operating system.

processor a first digital token request that corresponds to a first
destination identifier and a first postage amount; determining in the
host processor if one of the first destination identifier and the first
postage amount is different than a prior destination identifier and a
prior postage amount, respectively, that correspond to an immediately
preceding digital token request; sending the first digital token request
to the vault when the first destination identifier and the first postage
amount are different than the prior destination identifier and the prior
postage amount, respectively; and rejecting the first digital token
request when the first destination identifier and the first postage
amount are different than the prior destination identifier and the prior
postage amount, respectively. The method includes the further steps
of notifying a user when the first destination identifier and the first
postage amount are the same as the prior destination identifier and
the prior postage amount; providing the user with a capability to
confirm that the first digital token request is valid; and sending the
first digital token request to the vault when the user confirms that the
