  • Patent number: 4862173
    Abstract: A succession of input signals supplied to a quantizer is processed at sampling instants into a succession of quantized codes by step sizes with a current one of the quantized codes produced at each sampling instant with reference to a current step size adaptively decided not only by a next previous quantized code and a next previous step size but also by a reference size which is determined in accordance with an average level derived from a plurality of prior quantized codes produced until production of the next previous quantized code. A decoder decodes the quantized code succession into a reproduction of the quantizer input signal succession with each quantized code decoded with reference to a similarly adaptively decided step size. It is possible that the reference step size to be determined in a digital fashion as one of a few predetermined sizes or in an analog manner to be variable between two predetermined reference sizes.

  • Patent number: 4758834
    Abstract: A pager receiver for a radio calling signal carrying a call number and/or a message comprises a processing unit for producing a drive and an information signal to produce ordinary tone or tones related to the call number and to provide ordinary visual displays representative of the message, respectively. A processed signal is produced by the processing unit to provide extraordinary tones peculiar to a message-absent call, a message-present call, and a repeat call for repeatedly displaying a prior message. The processed signal also appears to provide extraordinary visual displays unique to the message-absent call. When the pager receiver has a plurality of preassigned call numbers, the processed signal is produced to provide such extraordinary displays inherent to each of the respective preassigned call numbers. In addition to the extraordinary displays of the preassigned call number, a plurality of messages are successively stored in a memory in a predetermined order to be successively displayed one by one.
