  • Publication number: 20150110426
    Abstract: A linear guide apparatus is provided such that even if the length of an underseal is changed, the adhesion of the underlip and the side lip can be maintained and the lubricant leakage from the slider is preventable. In the linear guide apparatus, the underseal (10) includes a gap seal protrusion part (20) formed to protrude toward a side seal (17) side to seal the gap between the underseal and the side seal. The gap seal protrusion part (20) is integrally formed adjacently to an underlip (10b) of the underseal (10), and is in contact with a terminal end face (17e) of the side lip (17b) of the side seal (17) without a gap.

  • Publication number: 20150088528
    Abstract: The present technique relates to a decoding apparatus and method, an audio signal processing apparatus and method, and a program that enable generation of an interpolation signal with less incongruity through a smaller amount of calculation. A frame signal decoding unit generates a decoded signal by decoding frame data, and an interpolation state determining unit determines an interpolation status for specifying the pattern of the process to be performed to obtain an output signal based on an error flag. A similar signal detecting unit extracts part of a thinned signal obtained by thinning a past output signal. An upsampling unit upsamples the extracted thinning signal, and a smoothing unit generates an interpolation signal by performing a smoothing process on the upsampled thinned signal.

  • Patent number: 8977541
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a speech processing apparatus, a speech processing method and a program which, when multichannel audio signals are downmixed and coded, prevent delay and an increase in the computation amount upon decoding of the audio signals. An inverse multiplexing unit (101) acquires coded data on which a BC parameter is multiplexed. An uncorrelated frequency-time transform unit (102) performs IMDCT transform and IMDST transform of frequency spectrum coefficients of a monaural signal (XM) obtained from this coded data to generate the monaural signal XM) which is a time domain signal and a signal (XD?) which is substantially uncorrelated with this monaural signal (XM). The stereo synthesis unit (103) generates a stereo signal by synthesizing the monaural signal (XM) and the signal (XD?) using the BC parameter. The present invention is applicable to, for example, a speech processing apparatus which decodes a downmixed and coded stereo signal.

  • Patent number: 8972249
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a decoding apparatus, a decoding method, an encoding apparatus, an encoding method, and programs that can shorten the delay time caused by the band extension at the time of decoding, and restrain increases in resources on the decoding side. A higher frequency component generating unit (73) generates a pseudo higher frequency spectrum by using a lower frequency spectrum (SP-L) and a higher frequency envelope (ENV-H). A phase randomizing unit (74) randomizes the phase of the pseudo higher frequency spectrum, based on a random flag (RND). An inverse MDCT unit (75) denormalizes the lower frequency spectrum (SP-L) by using a lower frequency envelope (ENV-L), and combines the pseudo higher frequency spectrum supplied from the phase randomizing unit (74) with the denormalized lower frequency spectrum (SP-L). The combination result is used as the spectrum of the entire band.
