Abstract: Which call feature module, if any, is invoked in response to a user's input of a feature access code is made dependent upon the context in which the feature request is made, in a call-processing arrangement (200) that uses stored definitions of syntax (320, 350) and grammar (400, 410) of the network numbering plan. The syntax definitions are definitions (312) of individual symbol strings, including the feature access codes, and include the string's associated virtual node-point identifier (VNI 334) which indicates the string's influence on feature selections. A VNI (254) resulting from the VNls of symbol strings included in the entire symbol sequence input by a user serves, along with parameters (1230, 1231, 1232) of the context, as a multi-dimensional pointer into a matrix (1202) of feature numbers (1203). The feature module (205) which corresponds to the feature number pointed to in the matrix by the pointer is then invoked and executed to provide a corresponding call feature.

Abstract: An all-optical circulating shift register (100) encodes a received optical clock signal (at SI) with a value derived from an encoded optical signal received at a control port (CTLI) thereof. A data input (at 150) to the shift register is used to modify an encoded optical signal. The resulting encoded clock signal, appearing at an output port (SRO), is coupled back to the control port (CTLI). The shift register uses the encoded clock signal at the control port to encode a subsequently-received clock signal. In one embodiment, the optical shift register is implemented using a Sagnac switch (110) having a feedback path (120) coupled between an output port (3) and a control port (CTLI) of the Sagnac switch.

Abstract: The invention relates to an autonomous radio clock, the time-incrementing of which is monitored by reception of a so-called time message output by a radio transmitter and is also corrected when deviating from the so-called absolute time radiated by the radio transmitter. In the case of disadvantageous conditions of reception at the site of the radio clock, its receiver (2), cooperating with a decoder (5), can frequently only receive faulty time messages which are no longer decodable. According to the invention, a filter unit (4) is connected between receiver (2) and decoder (5), which filter unit, when the receiver (2) is switched on, generates from the time message a filtered time message (32) obtained on the basis of the analysis of typical reception faults and generates as an indicator of the conditions of reception at the selected site a control signal (33) which occurs at least once, and is rendered recognisable to the user of the radio clock, when a faulty time message is received. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In apparatus for processing image data representing multi-dimensional objects, data is stored defining the position of a light source, a viewing position, an arrangement of polygons defining an object and a local transform for transforming said object into viewable 3-dimensional space. 
     Processing means (15, 111) defines the extent of points for an object in each dimension, performs said local transform on said points and determines the extent to which said points are transformed into viewing space. 
     Thus, an evaluation can be made as to where the object will lie in viewing space before polygons are transformed. Culling may then be performed at the object level, rather than at the polygon.

Abstract: The method concerns digital coding of a speech signal. The method is based on the use of a model of speech production comprising an excitation and shaping of the excitation in a filtering operation in such a manner that the order of the filtering which models the shaping of the excitation signal occurring in the vocal tract is adapted according to the speech signal to be coded. By means of the method it is possible to achieve a total modelling for the speech signal - and thus efficient speech coding - which is better than methods using fixed-order, model-based filtering of the speech tract. From the standpoint of the efficiency of the coding, by decreasing a needlessly large order of the filtering model, the bit rate to be used for coding the excitation signal can be increased or the bit rate resources thus freed up can be allocated for use in the error correction coding. On the other hand, the order of the filtering operation modelling the vocal tract can if necessary be increased if this is of essential benefit in the coding, and correspondingly, the bit rate to be used in coding the excitation signal can be lowered.

Abstract: A high frequency signal detecting circuit capable of smoothing a mean power in each time slot and performing rapid response during transition time. A detector (3) detects the envelope of an radio frequency signal whose power level may change depending on the time slot. A filter (7) narrows the pass band in the data field of each time slot and broadens it in the transition field of the same. The output of the detector (3) is applied to the filter (7). The detecting circuit, therefore, produces an output which is smoothed in the data field without regard to the content of data and which responds to a change in the power level sharply in the transition field. 
     An analogous detection method is also disclosed. An analogous detection method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rubber stock containing 0.1 to 10.0 phr of phenoxyacetic acid. Addition of the phenoxyacetic acid to a rubber stock increases the low strain stiffness properties of the rubber stock and results in increased treadwear when the stock is used in tread stocks. The phenoxyacetic acid may also be used in a rubber stock as a methylene acceptor or resorcinol replacement. In addition, the phenoxyacetic acid functions as a silica coupling agent and provides lower viscosities for processing the rubber stock compared to rubber stocks containing conventional silane coupling agents.

Abstract: The present invention proves an apparatus and method for performing polarization-insensitive four-photon mixing of optical signals. The polarization-insensitive optical mixer receives an input optical signal (at 41) and two substantially orthogonally polarized pump signals (at 42). The input optical signal and the two substantially orthogonally polarized pump signals are combined in a beam combiner (43) and then four-photon mixed in a first nonlinear mixing device (46) to produce a number of mixing products. The two substantially orthogonally polarized pump signals may be generated in an orthogonal pump signal generator which includes a second nonlinear mixing device for four-photon mixing the first pump signal and a mixing signal to produce a second pump signal which is a phase conjugate of the first pump signal. Certain of the mixing products represent phase conjugates of the input optical signal, and are therefore useful in compensating for chromatic distortion in optical fiber.
