Title: Apparatus and method for audio encoding
Inventor: FRANCOIS HOLLY L
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2012-12-03
Abstract: A method (600) and apparatus (100) provides for encoding an audio signal. A bit rate value (141) is received (605). A set of energy thresholds (371), of a plurality of set of thresholds, based on the bit rate value is selected (810). The energy thresholds of each set of energy thresholds correspond on a one-to-one basis with a set of sub-bands of a received audio signal (615). The energy of each sub-band of the set of sub-bands is determined (620). A highest frequency sub-band that has an energy exceeding the corresponding threshold is determined (625). A selected bandwidth of the audio signal is encoded (630). The selected bandwidth includes only those frequencies of the audio signal that are in the highest frequency sub-band that has an energy exceeding the corresponding threshold, and the lower frequencies of the audio signal that are above a high-pass cut-off frequency.

Patent CA-2875617-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CORMIER JEAN-PHILIPPE PAUL
IPC: H04W8/20
Filed: 2012-07-09
Abstract: Techniques for use in transferring an assignment of a secure chip of a wireless device from a current subscription manager (SM) of a current mobile network operator (MNO) to a new SM of a new MNO are described. In one illustrative example, the current SM receives a request for transferring the assignment and produces transfer permission data in response. The transfer permission data includes an identifier of the secure chip, an identifier of the current SM, and a digital signature of the current SM. The current SM then sends to the secure chip a transfer permission message which includes the transfer permission data. The transfer permission data indicates a permission for the secure chip to transfer the assignment from the current SM to the new SM. Additional techniques are performed by the secure chip, and the new SM, as described.
