Abstract: A method for coordinating an encoder and a decoder in a wireless communication system employing discontinuous transmission, the method comprising performing a syncless reset command on the encoder and the decoder, in order to bring the encoder and decoder into stable and compatible states. The syncless reset command can be implemented by setting the variables of the encoder and decoder into predetermined values, or by performing a normal reset command followed by encoding or decoding a predetermined number of predetermined sample values.

Abstract: A method of for aliasing suppression in a sub-band speaker-phone system, comprising receiving an analog audio signal from a near end analog audio input interface, converting said analog audio signal into a near end digital audio signal using an A2D; receiving N?2 sub-bands decoded digital audio data from a far-end, merging said N?2 sub-bands decoded digital audio data into a wideband (WB) decoded digital audio data to be converted by D2A unit and provided to analog audio output interface; splitting said near-end digital audio signal into N?2 near-end sub-bands digital audio signals; subtracting a simulated digital signal from said sub-band digital audio signal, wherein said simulated digital signal is created by an echo cancelling unit; and applying dynamic anti aliasing suppression (DAAS) with varying aggressiveness on each of said N?2 near-end sub-band digital audio signals.

Abstract: A method for improving the intelligibility of an incoming telephone signal, including boosting loudness of at least one band of poorly heard frequencies of the signal within at least one band of intensities of the signal, the band lying below a predetermined intensity level at which telephone standard conformance testing is performed, thereby to generate a differentially boosted telephone signal.

Abstract: The method provides a method and device for detecting in a single or multi frequency signal, one or more frequencies from a predetermined set of frequencies. The Signal is subjected to a complex filter substantially passing all of the frequencies in the predetermined set of frequencies. For each of one or more pairs of members of the complex filtered signal, a complex number Yd is determined having a phase indicative of a phase difference between the two members of the pair. The one or more frequencies are then determined based upon the one or more complex numbers. The method and device of the invention may be used in an apparatus such as a call indicator (CI) detector or a DTMF detector.

Abstract: A rope chain formed with "diamond cut" facets which extend spirally around the longitudinal center of the chain. The chain can be formed of solid or hollow links, or of non-standard links not having a circular cross-section.
