    摘要： A method of and system for facilitating synthetic stereo audio conferencing of a plurality of users over a local or wide area network (LAN/WAN). The disclosure describes a system architecture using a LAN/WAN to support synthetic audio conferencing thus allowing, at a receiving user location, for the spatially distinct virtual “placement” of the other parties involved in a conference call. This enables the user to differentiate between the various other parties and to discern which one or more of the parties are talking at any given time. In a first embodiment of the invention, both stereo synthesis and conferencing are client-based functions. In a second embodiment of the invention, both stereo synthesis and conferencing are server-based functions. In a third embodiment of the invention, stereo synthesis is a server-based function and conferencing is a hybrid client/server function using multicast.

    摘要： A method of and system for conferencing a plurality of clients over a local or wide area network using multicasting where the conferencing function is distributed between a server and the clients. The invention takes advantage of certain capabilities of existing client equipment and multicasting capabilities of the server to distribute the conference function between the server and the clients in a conference call over a LAN/WAN in a way that reduces network congestion and protocol complexity. The system of the present invention for providing conferencing over a local or wide area network, includes: a plurality of clients connected to the network for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the network; and a server connected to the network for receiving a plurality of signals transmitted from the plurality of clients, mixing the received signals to create a single multicast signal, and transmitting the multicast signal to each of the clients. Each of the plurality of received signals is made up of data packets of a defined length. The server includes: a jitter buffer for synchronizing the data packets received from the plurality of clients; an adjustable gain/loss controller for applying adjustable gain/loss to the synchronized data packets—according to speech activity and average level at each client signal; a mixer for mixing the data packets of the plurality of signals to create the single multicast signal for transmission to each of the clients. An individual client receiving the multicast signal transmitted from the server includes an echo controller for estimating and removing, from the multicast signal, a signal component corresponding to a signal transmitted from that client.

    摘要： The present invention provides a method of and system for controlling and effectively reducing the echo introduced in telephone connections over variable delay networks such as LAN/WAN networks. The invention includes estimation of the round-trip user-to-user delay in the telephone connection. This estimation can be made in a number of different ways, including using timestamps in existing data packets according to a Real-Time Protocol (RTP) or a Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP) and by sending timestamps in data packets according to an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). The invention further includes determination of an echo control target for the telephone connection based upon the estimated user-to-user delay. This target represents the total amount of echo control required to limit the probability of objectionable echo to less than a predetermined threshold. The amount of echo control required increases as the length of the estimated user-to-user delay increases. The invention further includes determination of the minimum amount of signal-dependent loss required to supplement the acoustic echo cancellation in order to reach the determined echo control target. Then, in the invention, the determined amount of signal-dependent loss is applied to the telephone connection to effectively reduce echo based upon the estimated user-to-user delay.

    摘要： An ellipsometer for measuring the polarization parameters .alpha. and .lambda. of an elliptically polarized light wave. The light wave passes successively through an orientable quarter-wave plate, a birefringent plate rotatable at a constant speed .omega. and a polarizer and then impinges upon a photodetector. Reference signals having angular frequencies of 2.omega. and 4.omega. are generated, one of these signals being employed to synchronously detect the signal at the output of the photodetector by adjusting the quarter-wave plate until the synchronously detected signal component is zero, the orientation of the quarter-wave plate then corresponding to the polarization parameter .alpha.. The parameter .lambda. is obtained by measuring the phase of the component at the output of the photodetector having an angular frequency of 4.omega..The invention applies in particular to photoelasticimetry.

    摘要： An automatic two wavelength photoelasticimeter comprising, in succession, a light source for emitting light having at least two wavelengths, .lambda..sub.1 and .lambda..sub.2 ; a polarizer rotating at constant speed, an orientable quarter-wave plate of orientation .beta. with respect to a reference axis; a model to be analyzed exhibiting double-refraction and having a fast axis which forms an angle .theta. with respect to the reference axis and which provides a phase shift .phi. (which parameters .theta. and .phi. are to be measured) and three photodetectors 5, 6, and 7 preceded by analyzers 10, 11 and 12 respectively. The photodetectors 6 and 7 are preceded by filters 8 and 9 of wavelengths .lambda..sub.1 and .lambda..sub.2 respectively. The difference between the phases of the signals of the frequency 2.omega. at the outputs of the photodetectors 6 and 7 supplies the difference between the phase shifts contributed by the model from these two wavelengths, the quarter-wave plate being oriented along the bisectors of the axes of double refraction of the model at the point in question. The apparatus is applicable to photoelasticimetry on strongly photoelastic materials and materiasl under high stress.

    摘要： Changes in a telephone subscriber line voltage are detected in a telephone set by supplying a voltage dependent upon the subscriber line voltage to a potential divider having first, second, and third tapping points, the second tapping point being between the first and third tapping points, and comparing the voltages at the first and third tapping points with a smoothed version of the voltage at the second tapping point to produce pulses at respective terminals when the line voltage is falling or rising. An algorithm is described for responding to the pulses to distinguish changes in hook state of another telephone connected to the same subscriber line from interfering signals. The arrangement facilitates remote release from hold and privacy indication functions for the telephone set.
