Abstract: The optical amplifier splitter arrangement is used in a tree-like optical network (APON) consisting of the cascade connection of dedicated branches, of the arrangement and of a common branch. The arrangement is coupled between a plurality of optical network users and an optical line terminator, via the dedicated branches and the common branch respectively. The network enables upstream transmission of information signals from the optical network users to the optical line terminator. The optical amplifier splitter arrangement includes for each branch of the dedicated branches :
     an optical amplifier to amplify an information signal with a gain value and to thereby generate an amplified information signal with a predetermined power level;   an optical switch on/off coupled between the optical amplifier and an optical splitter to pass the amplified information signal when the information signal is present and to interrupt the branch when the information signal is not present. The optical splitter is included in the arrangement to combine all amplified information signals according to a multiple access technique and to thereby generate an outgoing optical signal for application to the optical line terminator.

Abstract: An improved phase locked loop utilizing control logic generated by a phase detector to eliminate sensitivity to uncorrelated noise when the loop is in lock. The phase locked loop comprises a differential filter (117) having first and second input lines. A logic element (115) is responsive to the locked state of the phase locked loop for connecting said first and second input lines together whereby uncorrelated noise is common-mode to the filter and, as such, does not affect the VCO (121) input. 
     The phase locked loop is particularly useful in clock signal synthesis and in an IC used to display video signals.

Abstract: In a speech judging section, a speech portion and a speechless portion of an acoustic signal are judged. Data of the acoustic signal are stored in a buffer memory. A memory control section controls writing of the data judged to be the speech portion in the speech judging section into the buffer memory, and reading of the data from the buffer memory. A time-scale modification section determines a time scale modification speed depending on an amount of residual storage data which have not been read out from the buffer memory, and modifies time scale of the acoustic signal depending on the time scale modification speed.

Abstract: Compression units (18,20) are situated above a horizontal supporting table (10), designed to compress a batch of products (P) horizontally to give a set compressed dimension. The compressed products are then passed to a receiving chamber (24) with an opening (26) at the bottom and a base (28) at the top. The compressed batch is pushed into the receiving chamber with a film layer (F) covering it. Once it is in the chamber the ends of the film layer are brought together underneath it and welded, forming a wrapped bundle which can then be transferred to a removal unit (44). The remaining film ends stay welded together in readiness for the next batch. <IMAGE>

Typically, a computer algorithm is used which predicts the value of the expected measurement at a given position based upon a knowledge of the bases in previous and/or subsequent positions. The predicted measurement is then compared with the actual measurement, and the base chosen at that position is the base which minimizes the accumulated error measure for the entire sequence.
