摘要:
An acoustic transducer comprises one or more electromagnetic motors that drive one or more sets of multiple diaphragms to provide acoustically efficient loudspeaker systems having dimensions that allow use in applications that would be difficult or impossible with traditional transducers. The diaphragms may be driven directly, inertially or fluidically. If diaphragms are driven by rods that pass through holes in the diaphragms, noise may be generated by air that leaks through the pass-through holes. This noise may be reduced or eliminated by measures that reduce or eliminate the air leakage.

An improved electrodynamic acoustic transducer eliminates or reduces the need for flexible or elastic materials to suspend an internal magnetic element by using both static and dynamic signal-dependent magnetic fields to control its movement. In one implementation, the transducer has a magnet that moves within a surrounding tube. This tube in turn supports one or more electromagnetic coils that generate a dynamic signal-dependent magnetic field that causes the internal magnetic element to vibrate. The surrounding tube also supports one or more magnets whose location on the tube is fixed and whose magnetic fields provide appropriate restoring forces acting on the internal magnetic element. These fixed magnets may be replaced or supplemented by ferromagnetic materials. This transducer may provide sound and infrasonic vibration by coupling the internal magnetic element to other radiating elements or by being placed in close proximity to or in actual contact with the pinna or meatus of the human ear when used in headphones or earphones, for example, and it also may provide sound through the direct vibration of the air in contact with the surface of the internal magnetic element. When direct atmospheric coupling is not required, the transducer may be assembled in a sealed enclosure.

A DSL communication system and a method for configuring a DSL communication system. The method includes training at least one anchor DSL modem transmitter to transmit information over at least one anchor line at an anchor bit rate that is determined based on an allowable tolerable noise level and a minimum allowable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) margin; training one or more other DSL modem transmitter to transmit information over one or more other line at a bit rate that is determined by a current noise level and a target SNR margin, wherein the target SNR margin is higher than the minimum allowable SNR margin; and transmitting information by at least one trained DSL modem transmitter to at least one DSL modem receiver.

Signals in a multi-channel, impaired communication system are post-processed at the receiver. A triangular matrix Decision Feedback Demodulator (DFD) at the receiver extracts channels without requiring delivery of receiver parameters to the transmitter. Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) processing matrices and DFD parameters are computed by first applying matrix transformations to diagonalize the noise covariance matrix of the multiple channels received at the receiver. QR decompositions (i.e., decompositions into orthogonal and triangular matrices) are then applied to the main channels to obtain triangular channel matrices. The noise-diagonalizing transformations and QR decompositions are then combined to form the MIMO postprocessing matrices and DFD parameters. MIMO postprocessing matrices and DFD parameters are computed from training data and then adapted during live data transmission.

A method and system for providing window shaping for multiline transmission in a communications system are described. A last portion of a prefix symbol is extracted. A prefix with a prefix window is shaped to create a shaped prefix. A DMT symbol is shaped with a DMT window to create a shaped DMT symbol. The shaped DMT symbol is combined with the shaped prefix.

A method and system for ranging an object are disclosed. The method includes illuminating a field of view potentially including the object, synchronously receiving reflected signals from the field of view with and without illumination, capturing first and second images within an array, and generating a subtraction image using the images. One image is captured in the array while the other image is in the array. The first and second images include reflected signals from the field of view with and without illumination, respectively. The array includes first and second groups of lines that are unmasked and masked, respectively. In one exposure, the first group of lines is loaded with the first or second image. The image in the first group of lines is shifted into the second group. In another exposure, the first group of lines is loaded with the other image, which is shifted into the second group.

A method and system are disclosed for improving the performance of a multiline transmission system by using one or more split-pair receivers in a multiline communications system to identify crosstalk on a pair of transceivers coupled to the split pair receivers, wherein each split pair receiver receives a signal including the crosstalk from each transceiver and provides a corresponding signal vector to a post processing unit, and performing MIMO post-processing on signal vectors received at a receiver from each transceiver and each split-pair receiver while minimizing crosstalk on pairs of lines in the multiline communications system with a frequency equalizer.
