Abstract: L'invention concerne un convertisseur à réponse transitoire rapide qui comprend une bobine d'inductance progressive montée dans un convertisseur à commutation afin d'accélérer la réponse de la tension de sortie dans un régime transitoire rapide. L'élément inductif du convertisseur à commutation est remplacé par deux éléments inductifs en série ou en parallèle, dont l'un présente une valeur d'inductance plus basse que l'autre. Pendant la période du transitoire rapide, la bobine d'inductance présentant une valeur d'inductance plus élevée est court-circuitée sur une source de tension. L'inductance totale sera ainsi réduite dans une mesure importante, permettant ainsi une modification rapide du courant pendant la modification transitoire.

Abstract: Variable-length encoder 16 feeds a CBP as an
input symbol H1 to variable-length code output part 30.
Coded symbol memory 31 supplies CBPs in neighboring
blocks as coding map table reference information H2 to
coding map table provider 32. Coding map table
provider 32 determines a coding map table used in
coding of the CBP, based on these CBPs in the
neighboring blocks, and provides a coding map table H4
to variable-length code output part 30. Variable-length
coding table provider 33 feeds a variable-length
coding table H5 to variable-length code output part 30.
Then the coding target CBP is subjected to variable-length
coding, and the resultant is outputted as coded
data D9. This allows information source coding of
coding symbols to be performed efficiently according to
the coding condition and the property of image.

IPC: H04M9/08
Filed: 2003-05-27
Abstract: An echo canceller (1) is described, which has dedicated non stationary echo cancelling properties. The non stationary echo could be estimated directly, or indirectly by subtracting the stationary echo determined by a stationary noise estimator. The echo canceller may comprise an adaptive filter (4) and a residual echo processor (6) coupled to the adaptive filter, which residual echo processor is equipped with the non stationary echo canceller. Such a non stationary echo canceller is proposed in order to prevent the stationary component in the echo estimate, especially in the residual echo from continuously distorting near end speech. This improves echo canceller performance in terms of speech quality and speech intelligibility, which is particularly important in cases of single talk near end speech, as opposed to double talk.
