Abstract: A multiplexed signal processor is described as having an input circuit for receiving multiple input signals. A modulator processes a selected input signal to produce a representative digital output. The modulator includes an integrator that integrates the difference between the selected input signal and a feedback signal representative of the digital output. A signal control circuit selects in turn by time division multiplexing each input signal for a processing period as the selected input signal, and stores the digital output and the integrator state at the end of each processing period. After an initial processing period for each input signal, each processing period begins based on the digital output and the integrator state from the end of the previous processing period for that input signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the transcription of spoken and written utterances. To this end, the utterances undergo speech or text recognition, and the recognition result (ME) is combined with a manually created transcription (MT) of the utterances in order to obtain the transcription. The additional information rendered usable by the combination as a result of the recognition result (ME) enables the transcriber to work relatively roughly and therefore quickly on the manual transcription. When using a keyboard ( 25 ), he can, for example, restrict himself to hitting the keys of only one row and/or can omit some keystrokes completely. In addition, the manual transcribing can also be accelerated by the suggestion of continuations ( 31 ) to the text input so far ( 30 ), which continuations are anticipated by virtue of the recognition result (ME).

Abstract: A method for driving an organic LED display device having a first and a second electrode sandwiching an organic layer defining a plurality of light emitting elements. The method comprises applying to a light emitting element a voltage within a specified voltage range, within which the risk of short circuits between the electrodes is reduced, and controlling the duty cycle of said light emitting element, so that a desired light intensity is emitted from said light emitting element. The probability of short circuits in pixels of an organic LED display device is thus reduced by avoiding operating the display pixels within voltage ranges where the chance of short circuits is high. This limitation of the applied voltage is compensated by controlling the duty cycle of the light emitting element.
