A curtain member has a bending portion which is formed by a rear portion of the curtain member in a folded stored state being bent forward, i.e., toward an opposite side to the vertically-extending vehicle-body pillar. A second tether member is made of a long cloth member. Its rear end is fixed to a specified lower-side position of a fifth pillar which is located below the middle portion of this pillar in the vertical direction via a fixing pin. Its front end is fixed to a body portion of a curtain member via a seam portion. Accordingly, there can be provided the interior structure of a vehicle equipped with a curtain airbag which can properly form the tension line at the curtain member.

Speech is data-compressed and coded for transmission using TDHC (Time Domain Harmonic Compression) for the voiced signal, and decimated sampling for the unvoiced signal. Features include voiced/unvoiced detection, pitch period detection, border detection, coding by ADPCM, and optimum quantization coding. Reception involves decoding and data-reconstruction.

A gain-shape vector quantization apparatus is provided for encoding and decoding, to transmit and receive compressed speech signals. A selected plurality of vectors are read from a code book based upon an index signal. The vectors are added in an adder and synthesis filtered by a synthesis filter, in either order, to produce an output. This output is subtracted from an input speech signal to produce an error signal. An evaluation unit produces an index to select the plurality of vectors read from the code book memory based on the error signal in order to minimize this error signal. The evaluation unit produces gain adjusting signals which can be used to adjust gains of the vectors read from the code book. In an encoder, signals indicative of the gain adjusting signal and the index signal are transmitted by a transmitter of the encoder to send a quantized speech signal to a receiver of a decoder. In the decoder, after the signals indicative of the gain adjusting signal and the index are received by the receiver of the decoder, an index and gain adjusting signal is derived for use to control reading of vectors from a code book and gains thereon to reproduce the speech signal.

Pitch periods for a long term predictor included in a speech codec are searched in two searching stages. In the first searching stage, probable pitch periods are searched skipping a constant number of pitch periods, and in the second searching stage, pitch periods including the pitch period determined in the first searching stage and pitch periods neighboring the pitch period on both sides are searched.

A speech coding apparatus coupled to a transmission channel includes m (m is an integer greater than 1) coders, m decoders and m or (m-1) error correcting coders. The apparatus also includes an evaluation unit which evaluates a quality of each of reproduced speech signals from the input speech signal and the reproduced speech signals and which outputs an evaluated quality of each of the reproduced speech signals. The quality of each of the reproduced speech signals is evaluated in a state having no transmission error. A decision unit identifies one of the m coders which provides the reproduced speech signal having a smallest distortion on the basis of the evaluated quality of each of the reproduced speech signals, a current error rate of the transmission channel and error correcting abilities of the error correcting coders, and generates a coder identification number representative of a selected one of the m coders. An output part outputs a multiplexed transmission signal including the coded speech signal generated by the one of the m coders identified by the decision unit and the error correcting code generated by a corresponding one of the m error correcting coders.

A speech coding apparatus includes multipliers and prediction filters which successively process a plurality of signal vectors obtained from an index 2.sup.M and dimension N code book to obtain a reproduced speech signal. Error detectors are provided which find the error between the input speech signal and reproduced speech signal. Evaluators are also provided which calculate the optimum signal vectors giving the smallest errors. The multipliers are connected to a reduced code book, which is constituted of n number of code book blocks of index 2.sup.M/n and dimension N/n (where n is an integer of two or more). There are n number of multipliers, n number of prediction filters, n number of error detectors, and n number of evaluators corresponding to the code book blocks.

A sub-band acoustic echo canceller includes a first division and decimation process part for dividing a reception signal from a line into first band signals of N channels and for decimating each of the first band signals to output decimated first band signals in a form of complex signals, where N is an integer greater than or equal to two, a second division and decimation process part for dividing a transmission signal into second band signals of N channels and for decimating each of the second band signals to output decimated second band signals in a form of complex signals, an echo canceller group made up of a group of echo cancellers for generating a pseudo echo in each band based on a corresponding one of the decimated first band signals received from the first division and decimation process part by referring to a corresponding one of the decimated second band signals received from the second division and decimation process part and for outputting a residual signal in each band by subtracting the pseudo echo of one band from the decimated second band signal of the same band, and an interpolation and synthesis process part for subjecting the residual signals received from the echo canceller group to interpolation and synthesis to output a synthesized residual signal which is transmitted to a line as the transmission signal, where the echo canceller group carries out an echo cancelling operation for each band in a complex signal region.

Several encoders perform a local decoding of a speech signal and extract excitation information and vocal tract information from a speech signal for an encoding operation. The transmission rate ratio between the excitation information and the vocal tract information are different for each encoder. An evaluation/selection unit evaluates the quality of decoded signals subjected to a local decoding in each of the encoders, determines the most suitable encoders from among the several encoders based on the result of the evaluation, and selects the most suitable encoder, thereby outputting the selection result as selection information. The decoder decodes a speech signal based on selection information, vocal tract information and excitation information. The evaluation/selection unit selects the output from the encoder in which the quality of a locally decoded signal is the most preferable. When vocal tract information changes little, the vocal tract information is not output, thereby allowing for increased quality of information. As much of the surplus of unused vocal tract information as possible is assigned to a residual signal. Thus, the quality of a decoded speech signal is improved.

An echo canceller in a system, having a long impulse response such as in an acoustic system, which employs a fast Fourier transform to transform input data represented in the time domain into signals represented in the frequency domain to reduce calculations. To solve the problem of a long delay, the impulse response length is divided into a plurality of blocks. Each block then has a decreased number of samples within each block. Thus, a fast Fourier transform and finite impulse response type digital filtering are effected, so that the processing delay is decreased while the amount of calculations is kept small.
