摘要： Multiple data permutation operations in respective different dimensions are used to provide an overall effective data permutation using smaller blocks of data in each permutation than would be used in directly implementing the overall permutation in a single permutation operation. Data that has been permuted in one permutation operation is block interleaved, and the interleaved data is then permuted in a subsequent permutation operation. A matrix transpose is one example of block interleaving that could be applied between permutation operations.

摘要： In staircase forward error correction coding, a stream of data symbols are mapped to data symbol positions in a sequence of two-dimensional symbol blocks Bi, i a positive integer. Each of the symbol blocks has data symbol positions and coding symbol positions. Coding symbols for the coding symbol positions in each symbol block Bi in the sequence are computed. The coding symbols are computed such that, for each symbol block Bi that has a preceding symbol block Bi−1 and a subsequent symbol block Bi+1 in the sequence, symbols at symbol positions along one dimension of the preceding symbol block Bi−1, concatenated with the data symbols and the coding symbols along the other dimension in the symbol block Bi, form a codeword of a FEC component code, and symbols at symbol positions along the one dimension of the symbol block Bi, concatenated with the data symbols and the coding symbols along the other dimension in the subsequent symbol block Bi+1, form a codeword of the FEC component code. Thus, each row in [Bi−1T Bi] and each column in [ B i B i + 1 T ] , for example, is a valid codeword.

摘要： A method for chemical vapor deposition using a very fine atomization or vaporization of a reagent containing liquid or liquid-like fluid near its supercritical temperature, where the resulting atomized or vaporized solution is entered into a flame or a plasma torch, and a powder is formed or a coating is deposited onto a substrate. The combustion flame can be stable from 10 torr to multiple atmospheres, and provides the energetic environment in which the reagent contained within the fluid can be reacted to form the desired powder or coating material on a substrate. The plasma torch likewise produces the required energy environment, but, unlike the flame, no oxidizer is needed so materials stable in only very low oxygen partial pressures can be formed. Using either the plasma torch or the combustion plasma, coatings can be deposited and powders formed in the open atmosphere without the necessity of a reaction chamber, but a chamber may be used for various reasons including process separation from the environment and pressure regulation.

摘要： Methods of reduced-complexity max-log-APP processing are disclosed for use with Turbo and Turbo-like decoders. The invented methods of decoding are derived from max-log-APP processing and significantly lower the processing required for decoding convolutional codes by eliminating a portion of the calculations conventionally associated with max-log-APP processing. The disclosed embodiments provide simplified methods of metric combining based on determining the bits of an MLSE sequence with different alternative approaches. Also disclosed is an early stopping method that uses the reduced-complexity max-log-APP decoder to reduce the average number of decoding operations required by an iterative Turbo decoder.

摘要： In a speech synthesizer apparatus, a weighting coefficient training controller calculates acoustic distances in second acoustic feature parameters between one target phoneme from the same phoneme and the phoneme candidates other than the target phoneme based on first acoustic feature parameters and prosodic feature parameters, and determines weighting coefficient vectors for respective target phonemes defining degrees of contribution to the second acoustic feature parameters for respective phoneme candidates by executing a predetermined statistical analysis therefor. Then, a speech unit selector searches for a combination of phoneme candidates which correspond to a phoneme sequence of an input sentence and which minimizes a cost including a target cost representing approximate costs between a target phoneme and the phoneme candidates and a concatenation cost representing approximate costs between two phoneme candidates to be adjacently concatenated, and outputs index information on the searched out combination of phoneme candidates. Further, a speech synthesizer synthesizes a speech signal corresponding to the input phoneme sequence by sequentially reading out speech segments of speech waveform signals corresponding to the index information and concatenating the read speech segments of the speech waveform signals.

摘要： An apparatus for use in the capacitive measurement of the void fraction in a flowing liquid. An assembly of at least two electrodes is spaced apart around the exterior of the body defining a flow passage such that the capacitance of the electrode assembly is a function of the dielectric constant of material within the passageway. The radial thickness of the body is substantial such that the passageway occupies a portion of the electrostatic field of the electrode assembly which is relatively uniform. The dielectric constant of the body may be substantially equal to the expected dielectric constant of the said liquid. The body may be tubular with the electrode assembly directly supported on the radially outer surface of the tube.

摘要： It is often desirable to meter multiphase fluid flow in pipes (e.g. bore holes). In order to obtain reliable/accurate flow rate measurements it is known to incorporate obstructions in the flow path to cause homogenization. A non-obstructive method of homogenizing the flow of a multiphase mixture of fluids in a bore hole comprises providing in the bore hole a pipe section which has an internal surface with a step discontinuity, whereby when fluid flows through the pipe section, turbulent stresses are caused by the discontinuity, leading to homogenization by turbulent mixing. There is disclosed a flow meter which comprises a pipe length with a first section having a step change in cross-section for homogenizing fluid flow therethrough, in series with a venturi flow meter in which a differential pressure can be measured in a second pipe section having a smooth change in cross-section. Non-obstructive homogenizers and flow meters do not block the passage of objects such as tools, logging devices, etc along a pipe.

摘要： An alert system detects when an auditory prosthesis recipient is wearing her sound processor. When the processor is not worn, the alert system signals a secondary device, such as an accessory, to provide some other form of tactile stimulation to allow the recipient to be made aware of certain auditory stimuli she is not receiving via the auditory prosthesis. Thus, the alert system can effectively “hear” for the recipient. Since many auditory prosthesis recipients are, for all practical purposes, completely deaf without their external sound processors attached and operational, such an alert system increases the recipient's safety, convenience, and quality of life.
