IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: A lossless encoder and decoder are provided for transmitting a multichannel signal on a
medium such as DVD-Audio. The encoder accepts additionally a downmix specification and
splits the encoded stream into two substreams, such that a two-channel decoder of meagre
computational power can implement the downmix specification by decoding one substream, while
a multichannel decoder can decode the original multichannel signal losslessly using both
substreams. Further features provide for efficient implementation on 24-bit processors, for
confirmation of lossless reproduction to the user, and for benign behaviour in the case of downmix
specifications that result in overload. The principle is also extended to mixed-rate signals, where
for example some input channels are sampled at 48kHz and some are sampled at 96kHz.

Abstract: A device for estimating the amount of intake air of an internal
combustion engine comprising means for calculating an intake pipe
pressure downstream of the throttle valve, and means for calculating the
amount of intake air based on said calculated intake pipe pressure. The
intake pipe pressure calculation means calculates the actual intake pipe

for estimating the amount of intake air further comprises limitation
means for replacing the actual intake pipe pressure by the atmospheric
pressure when the actual intake pipe pressure calculated is higher than
the atmospheric pressure, and correction means for correcting the amount
of air passing through the throttle valve at the previous calculation
step based on the pressure differential between the atmospheric pressure
and the intake pipe pressure calculated at the previous calculation step
when the actual intake pipe pressure is replaced, by the atmospheric
pressure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for managing
chromatic dispersion in an NRZ-based WDM long-haul
optical transmission system so that nonlinearities are
reduced, especially those at the edge channels of the
band. The method includes using between 500 ps/nm and
2000 ps/nm of residual dispersion and a 40%/60%
pre/post dispersion compensating unit split ratio when the channel wavelengths
are shorter than the zero dispersion wavelength and
60%/40% when the channel wavelengths are longer than
the zero dispersion wavelength. Using these dispersion
compensation rules, the nonlinear propagation effects
in NRZ-based WDM systems is reduced, thus allowing for
higher optical power per channel and/or longer
transmission distances.
