摘要： A sleep apnea syndrome testing apparatus includes: an analyzing unit that analyzes every unit time a sound signal resulting from a subject during sleep; a determining unit that determines whether a unit time of the sound signal includes a breath sound or a characteristic sound produced when a patient with sleep apnea syndrome recovers from an apneic state into a breathing state, and the determining unit that determines that the sleep state of the subject in the unit time is any one of “breathing restored state,” “state with breathing,” and “state without breathing;” a storage unit in which a sleep state of the subject in each unit time is stored; and a detecting unit that detects an apneic state of the subject if a history of the sleep states of the subject indicates at least a transition from the “state without breathing” to the “breathing restored state.”

摘要： In a voice packet communication system, a voice packet loss concealment device compensates for the deterioration of voice quality due to voice packet loss. In the device, a detecting section detects a loss of a voice packet and outputting information; an estimating section estimates the voice characteristics of the lost segment using a pre-loss voice packet received before the lost segment or a post-loss voice packet received after the lost segment; a pitch signal generating section generates a pitch signal having the voice characteristics; and a lost packet generating section outputs the pitch signal generated by the pitch signal generating section, with the voice characteristics estimated by the estimating section, which allows abnormal noise and feeling of mute, subjective deterioration of naturalness and continuity to be improved, and the voice packet loss concealment to be further improved.

摘要： A code separation/decoding unit restores a vocal tract characteristic sp1 and a vocal source signal r1. A vocal tract characteristic modification unit modifies the vocal tract characteristic sp1 and outputs the modified vocal tract characteristic sp2. In this method, an emphasized vocal tract characteristic sp2 is generated to output by applying formant emphasis, using amplification ratios calculated based on estimated formants, directly to the vocal tract characteristic sp1 for instance. A signal synthesis unit synthesizes the modified vocal tract characteristic sp2 and the vocal source signal r1 to generate and output an output voice, s.

摘要： It is so arranged that a voice code can be converted even between voice encoding schemes having different subframe lengths. A voice code conversion apparatus demultiplexes a plurality of code components (Lsp1, Lag1, Gain1, Cb1), which are necessary to reconstruct a voice signal, from voice code in a first voice encoding scheme, dequantizes the codes of each of the components and converts the dequantized values of code components other than an algebraic code component to code components (Lsp2, Lag2, Gp2) of a voice code in a second voice encoding scheme. Further, the voice code conversion apparatus reproduces voice from the dequantized values, dequantizes codes that have been converted to codes in the second voice encoding scheme, generates a target signal using the dequantized values and reproduced voice, inputs the target signal to an algebraic code converter and obtains an algebraic code (Cb2) in the second voice encoding scheme.
