  • Internet teleconferencing
    Patent number: 7058026
    Abstract: A conferencing system includes an input configured to receive N encoded speech signals from N terminals, and a signal processing arrangement configured to determine L encoded signals, of the N encoded speech signals, each indicative of an amount of sound that is louder than amounts of sound indicated by signals of the N encoded signals other than the L signals, the signal processing arrangement being further configured to produce at least N minus L sets of signals similar to the L signals and to transmit at least a set of the similar signals toward each of the terminals other than the terminals from which the L signals were received.

  • Arrayed analog-to-digital converters
    Patent number: 5563596
    Abstract: An analog signal is converted to a digital signal by two analog-to-digital converters. The first converter digitizes the analog signal to produce a first series of samples of the signal. The second converter digitizes the analog signal after it has been shifted in phase by 180 degrees to produce a second series of samples. A digital adder then subtracts the second series of samples from the first series to produce the digital signal.
