The present invention relates to a method for selecting auditory signal components for reproduction by means of one or more supplementary sound reproducing transducers, such as loudspeakers, placed between a pair of primary sound reproducing transducers, such as left and right loudspeakers in a stereophonic loudspeaker setup or adjacent loudspeakers in a surround sound loudspeaker setup, the method comprising the steps of (i) specifying azimuth angle range within which one of said supplementary sound reproducing transducers is located or is to be located and a listening direction; (Ii) based on said azimuth angle range and said listening direction, determining left and right interaural level difference limits and left and right interaural time difference limits, respectively; (iii) providing a pair of input signals for said pair of primary sound reproducing transducers; (iv) pre-processing each of said input signals, thereby providing a pair of pre-processed input signals; (v) determining interaural level difference and interaural time difference as a function of frequency between said pre-processed signals; and (vi) providing those signal components of said input signals that have interauial level differences and interaural time differences in the interval between said left and right interaural level difference limits, and left and right interaural time difference limits, respectively, to the corresponding supplementary sound reproducing transducer. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the above method and systems of such devices.

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.

The invention provides a health management system and method for a complex system having at least one information source with data sources, an Aircraft Condition Analysis and Management system (ACAMS) for monitoring the data sources, an information controller for collecting and processing the data sources and a diagnostic / prognostic reasoner for fusing the collected data sources to establish current and future states and conditions of the complex system.

A numerical procedure for simulating the behavior of incompressible, viscous fluid in a casting / molding process. The method is based on classical fluid dynamic equations and uses control volume-finite element and numerical techniques to solve the momentum and energy equations to obtain solution for the variable parameters. The method incorporates five additional modules which simulate fluid flow in the shot sleeve, heat transfer between the die and the heat transfer fluid, die cooling by lubricant, formation of mend line. These additional simulation modules produce realistic boundary conditions, and replace many of the assumptions that would have to be made, to solve the governing equations. These added improvements ensure a faster convergence of the numerical solution and a more realistic simulation of the die casting process.

A process and system for integrating information stored in at least two disparate databases. The stored information includes consumer transactional information. According to the process and system, at least one qualitative variable which is common to each database is identified, and then transformed into one or more quantitative variables. The consumer transactional information in each database is then converted into converted information in terms of the quantitative variables. Thereafter, an integrated database is formed for predicting consumer behavior by combining the converted information from the disparate databases.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable medium are provided for a frame rate up-conversion coding mode, where a bilateral matching mode can be used to determine motion information. In various implementations, local illumination compensation is disallowed from being used for a block when a bilateral matching mode is used for the block. In various implementations, a bilateral matching mode is disallowed from being used when local illumination compensation is used for the block.
