The present disclosure relates to a decoding method and apparatus. The method includes: receiving data frames from the coder; if any erroneous frame appears, calculating a pitch lag parameter of the erroneous frame; decoding the data frames according to the calculated pitch lag parameter of the erroneous frame, and obtaining decoded data. The process of determining the pitch lag parameter includes: determining the number of continuous erroneous frames and the pitch lag parameter of the previous frame; adjusting the pitch lag parameter of the previous frame according to the number of the continuous erroneous frames and a preset adjustment policy, and calculating and determining the pitch lag parameter of a current erroneous frame, wherein the preset adjustment policy is adjusting the determined pitch lag parameter of the current erroneous frame within a preset value range according to the number of the continuous erroneous frames.

A method for performing a frame erasure concealment for a higher-band signal involves calculating a periodic intensity of the higher-band signal with respect to pitch period information of a lower-band signal; comparing the periodic intensity to a preconfigured threshold and, if the periodic intensity is greater or equal to the preconfigured threshold, performing the frame erasure concealment with a pitch period repetition based method. If the periodic intensity is less than the preconfigured threshold, performing the frame erasure concealment with a previous frame data repetition based method. A device for performing a frame erasure concealment includes a periodic intensity calculation module, a pitch period repetition module, and a previous frame data repetition module. The pitch period repetition module performs the frame erasure concealment with a pitch period repetition based method; and the previous frame data repetition module performs the frame erasure concealment with a previous frame data repetition based method.

A video content generation device generates video data synchronized with music data based on motion data, representing a motion graph including nodes, edges, and weights, and metadata indicating a synchronization probability per each node between the motion graph and a musical tune. A music data storage unit stores the predetermined amount of music data and their musical characteristics in connection with the predetermined number of beats, in a reproduction order, retrieved from the musical tune. An optimum path search unit searches an optimum path connecting between nodes, each of which is selected per each beat with a high synchronization probability, on the motion graph with motion characteristics matching with musical characteristics based on the predetermined amount of music data. Video data synchronized with music data is generated based on synchronization information for correlating motion data to music data along with the optimum path.

The present invention provides methods of assessing an individual subject's risk of developing prostate cancer, comprising: a) analyzing a nucleic acid sample obtained from the subject and determining a genotype for the subject at a plurality of biallelic polymorphic loci, wherein each of said plurality has an associated allele and an unassociated allele, wherein the genotype is selected from the group consisting of homozygous for the associated allele, heterozygous, and homozygous for the unassociated allele; and b) calculating a cumulative relative risk (CRR) for the subject based on the genotype determined in step (a). A CRR of greater than 1.00 identifies a subject as having an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and also can identify a subject who is a candidate for early PSA screening, prostate biopsy and/or chemoprevention.

A decoding method and device are provided. The spectrum parameter of a current bad data frame is determined. Specifically, a number of continuous bad frames that occur currently is determined. A spectrum parameter of a good data frame before the current bad data frame is determined. And a constant mean value of a spectrum parameter is determined. Then, the spectrum parameter of the good data frame is adaptively shifted towards the constant mean value of the spectrum parameter according to the number of the continuous bad data frames to calculate and obtain spectrum parameter information of the current bad frame. When the continuous bad data frames occur, the relevance between the spectrum parameter of the nearest good frame and the spectrum parameter of the current bad frame is gradually reduced, so that more accurate spectrum parameter of the current bad data frame can be obtained, thereby obtaining a better speech quality under a same code rate and a same frame error rate.

A signal compression method includes: multiplying an input signal by a window function, calculating original autocorrelation coefficients of a windowed input signal. The method also includes calculating a white-noise correction factor or a lag-window according to the original autocorrelation coefficients, and calculating modified autocorrelation coefficients according to the original autocorrelation coefficients, the white-noise correction factor and the lag-window. The method further includes calculating linear prediction coefficients according to the modified autocorrelation coefficients, and outputting a coded bit stream according to the linear prediction coefficients.

A frame compensation method is provided. The method includes: obtaining a length of a lost frame and a length of a correct frame; determining that the length of the correct frame is integral power of 2 times of the length of the lost frame, and then obtaining a data sequence with the same length as the length of the lost frame according to the correct frame; and compensating the lost frame according to the data sequence to obtain a compensated data frame. A frame compensation system is also provided. Lost frames in various formats are compensated according to correct frames in various formats, so that the limitation of the related art that a lost frame in a single format can be merely compensated according to a correct frame in a single format is eliminated, and the effect of the compensated data frames is better than that of filling comfort noises.
