Abstract: A scalable audio coding/decoding method and apparatus are provided.
The coding method includes the steps of (a) signal-processing input audio
signals and quantizing the same for each predetermined coding band, (b)
coding the quantized data corresponding to the base layer within a
predetermined layer size, (c) coding the quantized data corresponding to the
next enhancement layer of the coded base layer and the remaining quantized
data uncoded and belonging to the coded layer, within a predetermined layer
size, and (d) sequentially performing the layer coding steps for all layers,
wherein the steps (b), (c) and (d) each comprise the steps of (e) representing
the quantized data corresponding to a layer to be coded by digits of a
predetermined same number, and (f) coding the most significant digit
sequences composed of most significant digits of the magnitude data
composing the represented digital data. The method can accommodate
various users' request and transmission channels, and the complexity of the
encoder and decoder can be reduced. Also, according to the performance of
decoders or bandwidth/congestion of transmission channels or by users'
request, the bitrate or complexity can be controlled.

Abstract: A large capacity ATM core switch architecture is disclosed, which
supports multiple traffic classes and quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees.
The switch supports both real-time traffic classes with strict QoS
requirements, e.g., CBR and VBR, and non-real-time traffic classes with
less stringent requirements, e.g., ABR and UBR. The architecture also
accommodates real-time and non-real-time multicast flows in an efficient
manner. The switch consists of a high-speed core module that
interconnects input/output modules with large buffers and intelligent
scheduling/buffer management mechanisms. The scheduling can be
implemented using a novel dynamic rate control, which controls internal
congestion and achieves fair throughput performance among competing
flows at switch bottlenecks. In the dynamic rate control scheme, flows are
rate-controlled according to congestion information observed at bottleneck
points within the switch. Each switch flow is guaranteed a minimum
service rate plus a dynamic rate component which distributes any unused
bandwidth in a fair manner.

Abstract: Clicks in voice and music signals are removed by
detecting and interpolating the click. The use of a
permanently set threshold value above the peak value of
the audio signal is known for detecting the clicks, and
interpolation carried out on the basis of the sample
values before and after a click is known for filling them
in. Disadvantages of these methods are, on the one hand,
that many clicks do not have a larger amplitude than the
peak signal and therefore remain undetected, and, on the
other hand, interpolation is a highly complex procedure
and is limited to a maximum click density. The invention
provides for an error signal (e n ) to be determined by
adaptive filtering (AF). A sample value is designated as
distorted in the input signal (x n ) if the absolute
instantaneous value in the error signal (e n ) exceeds a
dynamically adapted threshold value. The output signal of
the adaptive filtering (y n ) is used as a substitute value
for the sample value designated as distorted,
specifically both in the case of the signal which is
output and in the input values of the adaptive filtering.

Abstract: In case a defect in the ink discharge performance
is generated in a nozzle in an ink jet printing head,
the printing is executed by a main scanning operation
of a printing head, excluding data corresponding to
such defective nozzle. Then, a sub-scan is executed by
a width corresponding to the defective nozzle, and the
complementary printing is executed with a complementary
recording nozzle without abnormality, in the returning
main scan. When the total sum of the number of drives
of the complementary recording nozzle exceeds a
predetermined value, the amount of sub-scan for
complementary recording, thereby changing the nozzle
used therefor. In this manner, even in case of
abnormality in a recording element, a defect-free
record can be obtained by the complementary recording,
and a substantial service life of the recording head
can be extended in case of obtaining such defect-free
record by the complementary recording.

Abstract: In a tape drive, or other storage device, used for storing computer data, both record data and record structure information such as file marks are encoded with codewords to form an encoded data stream. Of the fixed number of possible fixed-length codewords, one codeword is assigned as a root sequence for one or more longer codewords. Thus, detection of the root sequence during decoding of an encoded data stream triggers the reading of a fixed number of further bits. The further bits represent file marks and any other defined information. 
     In the tape drive (800), the tape drive interface (810) receives record data and file mark commands. The formatter (820) encodes the record data as fixed length codewords. Further, the formatter (820) encodes file mark commands and other format control information as longer codewords having a common root sequence (being one of the possible fixed length codewords) the bits of the longer codewords that extend beyond the root sequence determine the identity of file marks or other control information in the resulting encoded data stream, which is stored in a buffer (830). The longer, or reserved, codewords are thereby embedded in the encoded data stream to represent file marks as well as format control functions such as end of record markers and flush commands.
