Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU95/00093 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 26, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 26, 1996 PCT Filed Feb. 24, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/23462 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 31, 1995The present invention provides a method and apparatus for evaluating the performance of a signal-processing device during a test period when an input signal is applied to the signal-processing device and an output signal is generated by it. A select profile of the input (or output) signal quality is derived at intervals in which the output (or input) signal lies within some predetermined range. The derived profile may be normalized with respect to the quality of the input (or output) signal throughout the test period. The profile is indicative of device performance of the device being tested. The method may be implemented in either hardware or software.

Abstract: A new method for analyzing an electrical waveform of the type portrayed on a graph includes the steps of selecting a waveform to be analyzed, establishing the boundary of a window-like area and generating a signal if the waveform is in a predetermined position with respect to the area. For example, a signal such as a failure signal is generated if the waveform is to be out of the area but, in fact, is in the area. The method also includes features for determining certain parameters, e.g., rise time, period and the like, for the waveform. The steps include selecting first and second points on the waveform and determining the time lapsed between points. Details regarding the structure of a new waveform analyzer are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for reducing the noise in an speech signal by removing the noise from an input speech signal is disclosed. The noise reducing method includes converting the input speech signal into a frequency spectrum, determining filter characteristics based upon a first value obtained on the basis of the ratio of a level of the frequency spectrum to an estimated level of the noise spectrum contained in the frequency spectrum and a second value as found from the maximum value of the ratio of the frame-based signal level of the frequency spectrum to the estimated noise level and the estimated noise level, and reducing the noise in the input speech signal by filtering responsive to the filter characteristics. A corresponding apparatus for reducing the noise is also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved loin knife for a loin puller apparatus having a scribe saw with an associated decelerator and depth gauge immediately in advance of the loin knife for the purpose of cutting through the ribs of the carcass middle. The loin knife has a bight region that is positioned and configured so as to extend through the fatback and to pull the loin portion with the fatback, and in pork carcasses the skin, intact. The bight has a substantially horizontal region that cuts through virtually the entire length of the fingers of lean, which include portions of the serratus dorsalis muscle. To assist in orienting a carcass middle with regard to the scribe saw and loin knife, the apparatus is provided with a load bar that engages the chine and provides for a more uniform alignment of the carcass middle with the loin knife in relation to the position of the chine. Also, a guide bar that is in substantial alignment with the load bar is provided to assist in the initial alignment of the carcass middle as the carcass middle is loaded into the loin puller. A laterally driven impeller is provided to force the chine portion of the carcass middle into the load bar, thus straightening the chine against the load bar.
