Provided is a system and method for a modem including one or more processing paths. Also included is a number of interconnected modules sequentially arrayed along the one or more paths. Each module is configured to (i) process signals passed along the paths in accordance with the sequence and (ii) implement predetermined functions to perform the processing. Further, each of the modules has a particular degree of functional programmability and the degrees of functional programmability monotonically vary in accordance with the sequence.

Provided is a system and method for de-interleaving a data stream stored in a buffer having a plurality of memory locations. Each location has a memory width of (W) bytes and the data stream is formed of a number of data words each including (N) number of data bytes, and (N) is a non-integer multiple of the width (W). The method includes storing the data words into respective memory locations and appending each of the stored data words with number (X) of dummy bytes, a sum of (N)+(X) being an integer multiple of the width (W). The appended dummy bytes are then stored in the respective memory locations.

An expandable intervertebral implant includes a base body, a top endplate and a center component. The top endplate is configured to be placed onto an open top of the base body and to expand upward. The top endplate includes a plate, first and second side protrusions extending vertically downward from first and second sides of the plate, respectively, first and second protrusions including inclined surfaces and extending obliquely downward from a first end of the plate and third and fourth protrusions having a triangular shape with at least one inclined surface and extending downward from a second end of the plate. The center component is configured to be placed within the base body and to interface with the top endplate and to move longitudinally forward or backward within the base body, thereby causing the top endplate to expand upwards or move downward, respectively.

A method of coding an audio signal comprises receiving an audio signal x to be coded and transforming the received signal from the time to the frequency domain. A quantised audio signal {tilde over (x)} is generated from the transformed audio signal x together with a set of long-term prediction coefficients A which can be used to predict a current time frame of the received audio signal directly from one or more previous time frames of the quantised audio signal {tilde over (x)}. A predicted audio signal {circumflex over (x)} is generated using the prediction coefficients A. The predicted audio signal {circumflex over (x)} is then transformed from the time to the frequency domain and the resulting frequency domain signal compared with that of the received audio signal x to generate an error signal E(k) for each of a plurality of frequency sub-bands. The error signals E(k) are then quantised to generate a set of quantised error signals {tilde over (E)}(k) which are combined with the prediction coefficients A to generate a coded audio signal.

A system and method for effectively implementing fixed masking thresholds in an audio encoder device comprises a filter bank for filtering source audio data to produce frequency sub-bands, a lookup table for storing masking threshold corresponding to the frequency sub-bands, and a bit allocator for using the masking thresholds to identify and discard masked audio data to thereby reduce the total amount of audio data that requires processing.

A system and method for preventing artifacts in an audio data encoder device comprises a filter bank for filtering source audio data to produce frequency sub-bands, a psycho-acoustic modeler for calculating signal-to-masking ratios for the source audio data, and a bit allocator for using the signal-to-masking ratios to assign a finite number of allocation bits to represent the frequency sub-bands. In the absence of a defined significant event, the bit allocator performs a sub-band forcing strategy, including a prebit allocation procedure, to prevent artifacts or discontinuities in the encoded audio data.

An implantable cervical plate assembly includes a cervical plate, one or more bone fasteners. The cervical plate comprises an elongated asymmetric body having one or more through-openings extending from the front surface to the back surface of the elongated asymmetric body. The one or more bone fasteners are configured to be inserted through the one or more through-openings, respectively. The bone fasteners comprise a threaded main body and a head that includes one or more breakable structures configured to be broken when inserted into a groove and then unflex and remain captured within the groove.

摘要:
An encoder comprising predictive coding means for encoding electronic signals input thereto is disclosed. The predictive coding means is adapted to operate in a first high prediction order mode and in a second lower prediction order mode. The predictive coding means operates in the first and second modes in dependence on an input electronic signal comprising a transient signal. Preferably, the second mode comprises a transient recovery sequence of prediction orders. The transient signal detector determines predictive coding gain as well as a difference in predictive coding gain for a sequential input signal exceeding a threshold. The prediction orders are gradually increased for subsequent signals until the first mode (high) prediction order is attained. A transmission of electronics signals provides for an indication of initiation of a second mode for the predictive coding. Circuitry is included for reception of the second mode initiate signal. There is also disclosed a decoder for decoding signals encoded by the encoder.
