摘要:
If all original subbands are not selected for processing in conventional subband coders or decoders aliasing distortion is generated by the characteristics of their subband band-splitting filters or subband band synthesis filters. To improve sound quality in a subband decoder the decoded frequency components in the overlap region adjacent to a subband selected not to be decoded are band-limited prior to synthesis. Alternatively, in a subband coder the sound quality in a processed subband adjacent to one not to be coded is improved by band-limiting the filtering frequency overlap region between these subbands prior to coding. By thus decoding only the non-overlapping part of the subband adjacent to an omitted subband signal distortion is reduced.

Apparatus for recording an information signal as bit-compressed digital data. The apparatus comprises a bit compressor and a recording system. The bit compressor receives the information signal as digital data. The digital data include bits, and the bits include redundant bits. The bit compressor compresses the digital data by removing only the redundant bits from the digital data to generate the bit-compressed digital data at a variable bit rate. The redundant bits are bits that result in a quantizing noise level lower than an allowed noise level at which the quantizing noise is imperceptible to a human auditory sense. The allowable noise level is determined by a masking threshold and a minimum audibility limit. The recording system receives the bit-compressed digital data from the bit compressor and records the bit-compressed data on a recording medium.

In a speech synthesizing apparatus, importance degree information indicative of a degree of importance with respect to each text portion of input original text data is added to this text portion. Then, the original text data with such importance degree information is input. When a rapid reading process, or a head searching process is carried out for the original text input, speech synthesis is carried out by controlling several stages which text portion should be skipped, or at which speed, the text portions should be synthesized, in response to a speed instruction and importance degree information which are being input into the speech synthesizing apparatus.

Continuous data is divided into a plurality of portions and then recorded on a recording medium such as a magnetic tape or the like so that, even when a recording medium is exchanged, the divided data thus recorded can be continuously reproduced. During a period in which a recording head is moved to a second recording position after the recording at a first recording position is ended, corresponding data reproduced from a recording medium even when the recording medium is exchanged is written in a memory means in which an input signal applied to an input terminal is written.

Signal-reproduction method and apparatus receive a code string formed by coding a frequency-axial spectral signal obtained by performing the spectral transformation of a time-axial acoustic-waveform signal, and decode the received code string. Subsequently, the method and apparatus reproduce the acoustic-waveform signal by extracting part of the spectral signal, and performing the reverse-spectral-transformation of the extracted part.

A method and an apparatus for transmitting digital signals are disclosed. The input digital signal is converted into a plurality of blocks each having a finite time width and an finite frequency width. Signal components of at least some of the blocks are processed in a non-linear fashion, and the resulting non-linearly processed signal components are quantized. A recording medium on which encoded digital signals are recorded is also disclosed.

With the use of a conductive shield formed on the top or bottom side of a semiconductor integrated circuit, an electrostatic breakdown (malfunctions of the circuit or damages of a semiconductor element) of the semiconductor integrated circuit due to electrostatic discharge is prevented, and sufficient communication capability is obtained. With the use of a pair of insulators which sandwiches the semiconductor integrated circuit, a highly reliable semiconductor device that is reduced in thickness and size and has resistance to an external stress can be provided. A semiconductor device can be manufactured with high yield while defects of shapes and characteristics due to an external stress or electrostatic discharge are prevented in the manufacturing process.
