摘要:
A galloping control rod for suppressing the vertical, torsional and horizontal movement associated with the galloping affect on aerial cables due to freezing rain, wet snow or frost deposits. The anti-galloping rod includes a non-conductive rod having a preformed helical midsection and a first and second end, the first end including a helical gripping section. The second end includes a one-half helical turn with a differing pitch length than the preformed helical midsection such that the conductor galloping control device can be installed on an aerial cable without having to slide the device along the cable or without the installer having to move his lifting device, such as a bucket lift, along the cable line.

A Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) design uses a Coordinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm that can convert a Givens rotation of a vector to a set of shift-add operations. The CORDIC algorithm can be easily implemented in hardware architecture, therefore in FPGA. Since the computation of the inverse of the data correlation matrix involves a series of Givens rotations, the utility of the CORDIC algorithm allows a causal Constrained Energy Minimization (CEM) to perform real-time processing in FPGA. An FPGA implementation of the causal CEM is described and its detailed architecture is also described.

A method for transcoding a CELP based compressed voice bitstream from source codec to destination codec. The method includes processing a source codec input CELP bitstream to unpack at least one or more CELP parameters from the input CELP bitstream and interpolating one or more of the plurality of unpacked CELP parameters from a source codec format to a destination codec format if a difference of one or more of a plurality of destination codec parameters including a frame size, a subframe size, and/or sampling rate of the destination codec format and one or more of a plurality of source codec parameters including a frame size, a subframe size, or sampling rate of the source codec format exist. The method includes encoding the one or more CELP parameters for the destination codec and processing a destination CELP bitstream by at least packing the one or more CELP parameters for the destination codec.

摘要:
The present invention provides a resin composition consisting of a functionalized polypropylene (PP) and a functionalized styrenic thermoplastic elastomer (TPS). The functionalized PP is a PP grafted with N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), and the functionalized TPS is a TPS grafted with acrylamide or methacrylamide. The functionalized PP and the functionalized TPS are subjected to melt blending to obtain the resin composition with a slight cross-linking structure due to the reaction between GMA and acrylamide or methacrylamide, therefore the resin composition presents good physical properties. Besides, the resin composition without additional plasticizer or other small molecular organic compounds can be utilized in blood bags, blood transfusion and collection apparatuses, etc. Thus, it does not release small molecular substances which are of potential harm to human body during use.

An apparatus for transcoding an audio signal between a CELP-based coder and a hybrid coder includes a source bitstream unwrapper configured to receive a source bitstream, extract one or more CELP compression parameters from the source bitstream, and construct an audio signal vector from the source bitstream while maintaining the one or more extracted CELP compression parameters. The apparatus also includes a frame interpolator coupled to the source bitstream unwrapper and a compression parameter converter coupled to frame interpolator. The compression parameter converter is configured to calculate output compression parameters from at least one of the interpolated compression parameters or the one or more extracted CELP compression parameters. Additionally, the apparatus includes a destination bitstream wrapper coupled to the compression parameter converter and a mapping parameter tuner coupled to the frame interpolator. The mapping parameter tuner is configured to select one or more parameters for use by the compression parameter converter.

A method and apparatus for DTMF detection and voice mixing in the code-excited linear prediction (CELP) parameter space, without fully decoding and reconstructing the speech signal. The apparatus includes a Dual Tone Multiplexed Frequency (DTMF) signal detection module and a multi-input mixing module. The DTMF signal detection module detects DTMF signals by computing characteristic features from the input CELP parameters and comparing them with known features of DTMF signals. The multi-input mixing module mixes multiple sets of input CELP parameters, that represent multiple voice signals, into a single set of CELP parameters. The mixing computation is performed by analyzing each set of input CELP parameters, determining the order of importance of the input sets, selecting a strategy for mixing the CELP parameters, and outputting the mixed CELP parameters. The method includes inputting one or more sets of CELP parameters and external commands, detecting DTMF tones, mixing multiple sets of CELP parameters and outputting the DTMF signal, if detected, and the mixed CELP parameters.
