摘要： A system for companding digital audio signal samples processes the digital audio signal samples to correct errors induced by the compression and expansion processes. These errors are calculated prior to compressing the samples. Such errors are calculated in accordance with a predetermined compression process and a predetermined expansion process; and the digital audio signal samples are corrected in accordance with such calculations prior to compression. The compression process includes providing a 3-bit gain word for a block of 70 samples. The gain word is computed in accordance with the position of the most significant "1" bit in the sample(s) having the peak magnitude. Each individual sample is processed in accordance with the block gain word to compress the sample by reducing the number of magnitude bits. The error calculation process includes calculating an error signal by subtracting a calculated reproduced digital audio signal sample from the digital audio signal sample to be compressed, filtering the error signal by noise-spectral filtering and adding the filtered error signal to the next-providing digital audio signal sample to provide a corrected digital audio signal sample for compression. The error calculation process also includes calculating an error value based upon the effect of using a single gain word for compressing a block of samples. The error value is subtracted from the corrected digital audio signal sample prior to compression. The gain word is forward error corrected by (5,1) encoding to enable detection and correction of both single-bit and double-bit errors in transfer by majority voting. The sign bit and the most significant magnitude bits of the compressed samples are forward error corrected to enable detection and correction of single-bit errors in transfer and to enable detection and concealment of double-bit errors in transfer.

摘要： Alignment of an antenna and a polarizer for the antenna are automatically adjusted and the frequency setting of a frequency-tunable receiver is automatically adjusted while receiving a broadcast communication signal that is forward-error-correction coded by processing the forward-error-correction code of the received signal to measure a channel-bit-error-rate-affected parameter for the received signal; by realigning the antenna and the polarizer from their respective initial positions in response to the measured parameter until the measured parameter is minimized; and by retuning the receiver from its initial frequency setting in response to the measured parameter until the measured parameter is minimized. A Viterbi decoder processes the forward-error-correction code of the received signal to compute path metrics affected by the bit-error rate of the received signal and normalizes the computed path metrics; and a counter counts the normalizations over fixed intervals to measure a path metric normalization rate as the measured parameter.

摘要： A content moving device which enables providing content stored on a first user device, such as a DVR, in a first format and resolution to be provided to a second user device, such as a portable media player (PMP) in a second format and resolution. The content moving device identifies content on the first user device as candidate content which may be desired by the PMP and receives the candidate content from the DVR. The content moving device transcodes the candidate content at times independent of a request from the PMP for the content. The content moving device may provide a list of available transcoded content to the PMP for selection, and provide selected content to the PMP. The content moving device may also provide information relating to any protection schemes of the content provided to the PMP, such as DRM rights and decryption keys. The content moving device performs the often computationally intense and time consuming transcoding of user content to enable the user to move content between different user devices in a convenient manner.

摘要： A system to change security levels is used to change the level of security used in a secured processing system. The system uses a status indicator to designate the security level being implemented. The security level can be upgraded to allow a higher level of security to be implemented with relative ease. However, in order to change from a higher level of security to a lower level of security, an authorization code is utilized to confirm that the change in security is authorized.
