Patent CA-2301296-A1 (CA)
Title: Variable volume signaling device for an appliance
Inventor: BROKER JOHN F
IPC: D06F34/28
Filed: 2000-03-16
Abstract: An appliance is provided with a feedback system which audibly signals both the activation of user input controls and when the appliance reaches a certain operational stage. The system functions to adjust both of the feedback signals upon a single setting change made by a user, preferably at varying volume rates. In the preferred embodiment, the volume level for the operational stage signal is adjusted multiple times the volume level for the user input control signal as the setting is switched between any of low, medium and high settings.

Patent CA-2301663-A1 (CA)
Title: A method and a device for coding audio signals and a method and a device for decoding a bit stream
Inventor: HERRE JURGEN
IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 1998-07-07
Abstract: The invention makes it possible to combine a scaleable audio coder with TNS technology. According to the inventive method for encoding time signals (x1) sampled in a first sampling rate, second time signals (x2) with a sampling rate smaller than the first sampling rate are generated (12). The second time signals (x2) are then encoded (14) according to a first coding algorithm, and written into a bit stream (xAUS) (16). The encoded second time signals (x2c) are then decoded (14) again and are transformed (23, 24) into the frequency range, as are the first time signals. TNS prediction coefficients are then calculated (25) from a spectral representation of the first time signals (X1). The transformed output signal (X2cd) of the coder/decoder (14) with the first coding algorithm and the spectral representation (X1) of the first time signal are subjected to a prediction of the frequency (27) in order to obtain spectral residual values for both signals using the prediction coefficients calculated on the basis of the first time signals alone. These two signals are evaluated against each other (26, 28). The evaluated spectral residual values (Xb) are then encoded by means of a second coding algorithm in order to obtain coded evaluated spectral residual values (Xcb). These evaluated spectral residual values are written into the bit stream (xAUS) in addition to side information with the prediction coefficients.

Title: Questionnaire based call routing
Inventor: GALLICK ROBERT L
IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 2000-12-11
Abstract: A feature server, e.g., a stored program control-ler, processes calls to a subscriber's main directory number in a packet network by submitting a subscriber-administered questionnaire to callers. The information in the questionnaire, when completed by the calling party, can be used to automatically route the call or to reposition the call in the incoming call queue.      Alternatively, the completed, or even partially com-pleted questionnaire may be displayed in a "pop up" window to a subscriber's operator who can then use the information to assist the caller or, without need of answering the call, to reposition the call within the queue or to divert the call to another directory num-ber. In addition, information previously provided in a questionnaire completed by a caller is stored so that when the caller calls again, the stored information may be employed to more efficiently process the call.

Title: Variable length decoder for decoding digitally encoded video signals
Inventor: GADRE SIRISH C
IPC: H04N7/30
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: A variable length decoder (VLD) (104) for decoding MPEG-1 and -2 syntax compliant video bit streams. The VLD (104) includes a micro-sequencer (134) and VLD command decode/execution unit (136) for controlling the MPEG decoding process using a novel instruction set (214a, 214g). The instruction set (214a-214g) includes a set of commands for decoding the video data and a set of flow control instructions. A rotator/barrel shifter (158) is provided for making a predetermined number of encoded bits from the video bit stream available to the VLD (104) and a variable length table decoder (186) for variable length decoding using the MPEG standard variable length code (VLC) tables. The variable length table decoder (186) shares a prefix pattern matching scheme across all of the VLC tables and organizes the variable length codes into a series of subtables. Each subtable corresponds to one of the unique prefix patterns. Variable length codes are decoded by identifying a leading pattern in the video data bit stream and, in parallel, accessing the subtable corresponding to that leading pattern. Run-length and amplitude level DCT  coefficient symbols are stored in compressed form, and decoded as needed by an inverse transform unit (208). Motion vectors are also stored until needed by a motion compensation unit (212).
