    摘要: A force/torque sensor has a semiconductor region which is adapted to be subjected to a force or torque. Two control electrodes are provided on a first and a second side of the semiconductor region, the sides being arranged in spaced, opposed relationship with one another, and a current through the semiconductor region being producible between the control electrodes. Two sensor electrodes are provided on a third and a fourth side of the semiconductor region, the sides being also arranged in spaced, opposed relationship with one another and extending essentially at right angles to said first and second sides. A force or torque applied to the semiconductor region is determinable by detecting a voltage present between the sensor electrodes when a current flows between the control electrodes. The semiconductor region is formed by the channel of a field effect transistor, the drain an source electrodes of said field effect transistor defining the control electrodes.

    摘要: A process for simultaneous transmission of signals from N signal sources via a corresponding number of transmission channels, in which the individual signals are divided into blocks and the blocks are transformed into spectral coefficients by transformation or filtering, the spectral coefficients undergoing a data reduction process. The blocks belonging to the individual signals are divided into sections. The respective current sections of all signals are processed simultaneously. The permissible interference for each section is determined utilizing a perception-specific model, and a request of currently required overall transmission capacity is calculated. The allotment of maximum transmission capacity at disposal for each individual signal is calculated from the overall transmission capacity at disposal and the currently required overall transmission capacity. Each signal is coded and transmitted with the thus determined capacity.

    摘要: In a method for assessing the quality of an audio test signal derived from an audio reference signal by coding and decoding, the audio test signal is compared with the audio reference signal, as it were, behind the cochlea of the human ear. All masking effects as well as the transmission function of the ear are equally applied to the audio reference signal and the audio test signal. To this end, the audio test signal is broken down according to its spectral composition by means of a first bank of filters consisting of filters overlapping in frequency and defining spectral regions, said filters having differing filtering functions each determined on the basis of the excitation curve of the human ear with respect to the respective filter center frequency. The audio reference signal is also broken down according to its spectral composition into partial audio reference signals by means of a second bank of filters coinciding with the first bank of filters. Subsequently, a level difference by spectral regions is formed between the partial audio test signals and the partial audio reference signals belonging to the same spectral regions. To assess the quality of the audio test signal, a detection probability is determined, by spectral regions, on the basis of the respective level difference so as to detect a coding error of the audio test signal in the spectral region concerned.

    摘要: Jointly processed stereophonic audio signal properties are identified using a stereophonic signal as reference signal and creating a signal for testing by processing the stereophonic signal, e.g. by coding and subsequently decoding it. Both signals are transformed into the frequency domain to create representative spectral data for the respective subbands. Correlation coefficients are determined for each subband both of the reference signal and also of the signal for testing on the basis of the spectral data of the channels of the reference signal or of the signal for testing. From the comparison of the correlation coefficients belonging to the same subband, jointly processed stereophonic audio signals are detected if at least one of the correlation coefficients of the signal for testing greatly exceeds the correlation coefficient of the reference signal for the same subband.

    摘要: In the case of coding a plurality of signals which are not independent of e another, a selection of the suitable type of coding is made as a function of a similarity measure. According to one aspect of the invention, the similarity measure is determined by firstly coding one of the signals according to the intensity-stereo method and then decoding it in order to create a signal affected by coding error, whereupon the latter signal and the associated non-coded signal are transformed into the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, a selection or evaluation of the actually audible spectral components, as well as of the signal affected by coding error and of the associated signal not affected by coding error, is undertaken using a listening threshold which is determined by a psycho-acoustic calculation. Intensity-stereo coding is undertaken in the case of a high similarity measure, whereas otherwise a separate coding of the channels is performed.

    摘要: A PLL circuit modulatable by a modulation signal having a direct current component has a voltage-controlled main oscillator, a loop divider, a phase comparator and a loop filter. The reference frequency signal for the phase comparator is derived from the modulation signal by a first compensation filter, a voltage-controlled reference oscillator and a reference divider being connected downstream of said first compensation filter. The voltage-controlled main oscillator is controlled by the modulation signal via a second compensation filter followed by a downstream data lowpass.
