Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric and to create a gap in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands. An insertion tool may be used to align an electrical component with the conductive strands during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections may be located in grooves in the electrical component. An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material in the grooves to encapsulate the solder connections. After the electrical component is electrically connected to the conductive strands, the insertion tool may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.

Abstract: Method of preparing data, in particular voice signal parameters for transmission at a low bit rate, identical signal parameters are combined interval by interval in quantized form; forfurther bit reduction, bits are suppressed from the total number of bits of at least two intervals, the bit difference to be suppressed being formed on the basis of the total number of unreduced bits with respect to the next-higher power of two; and theprocedure supplies a better voice quality than in the case of changing the number of quantization stages by multiples of 2.

Abstract: The vector encoding method, particularly for voice signals, includes storing autocorrelation coefficients in one codebook and performing a logic operation on the autocorrelation coefficients with an autocorrelation function for the pulse response of an excitation filter to give the energy of the filtered excitation signal. For additional data reduction only those values having three autocorrelation coefficients other than the value 0 are entered in the codebook. The combination patterns which can be formed from these coefficients occur with the same frequency in the codebook. Because of these features, a transmission of encoded data which is very robust with respect to faults is possible with reduced processing and storage effort.
