Joseph Albert Sciulli has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Pseudo-random sequencing for speech predictive encoding communications system
    Patent number: 3997729
    Abstract: Bit rate compression in a digital communications system is provided by transmitting voice information from n telephone circuits over the capacity conventionally allocated for transmission of voice information from n/2 circuits without appreciable degradation in quality. Alternatively, a doubling of the number of voice circuits may be provided with transmission at the same bit rate required for conventional digital transmission of voice information. Each frame period, at the transmitter, all n circuits are serviced and, utilizing a predictive encoding scheme, only unpredictable samples in the given frame are transmitted over the available channel capacity. A sample assignment word (SAW), which identifies the circuits corresponding to the unpredictable samples, is transmitted therewith.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 25, 1975
    Date of Patent: December 14, 1976
    Assignee: Communications Satellite Corporation (Comsat)
    Inventors: Rene Costales, Joseph Albert Sciulli
