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: Generating a bit rate scalable audio data stream is applicable in the field of data communications, and is based on the problem of providing a process and a device which can be used in a versatile manner and which have a high degree of flexibility with respect to the available transfer rates. This problem is solved by a process for generating a bit rate scalable audio data stream having the following steps: compression of the audio data stream in a core codec (100) accompanied by determination of core parameters (102); and enhancement of the coding in at least one downstream enhancement stage (110), characterized in that the enhancement in the enhancement stage (110) is controlled by the core parameters (102).

Abstract: Two codebooks each consisting of a filter memory are used for vector quantizing of a speech sample. Fixed excitation vectors and pitch parameters of a prediction filter are entered in the respective codebooks, which are actualized in time intervals. To improve the speech quality, respectively two vectors from the adaptive codebook which are best in respect to an error criterion are linked with all vectors of the fixed codebook. The value which best matches an original speech scanned value is selected from the linkages. The entries in the first codebook are advantageously thinned out by suppressing vector components taken from sum bits of two frame sections into which the speech sample is divided until the processing work is no more than the processing work with only one selected best vector from the second codebook.

Abstract: For transmitting GSM data in a communication network (PSTN), a predefined frame format (TRAU) is preserved in the communication network (PSTN) for mobile stations (TL1, TL2). This predefined frame format (TRAU) is preserved even if the coding rates in the uplink and downlink are different. Recoding, in particular, takes place only in the downlink with the advantage that the uplink and downlink are completely isolated from one another regarding the coding rates used or a discontinuous/continuous (DTX) operation.
