Abstract: Surround audio decoding for selectively generating an audio signal from a multi-channel signal. In the surround audio decoding, a down-mixed signal, e.g., as down-mixed by an encoding terminal, is selectively up-mixed to a stereo signal or a multi-channel signal, by generating spatial information for generating the stereo signal, using spatial information for up-mixing the down-mixed signal to the multi-channel signal.

Abstract: A method, medium, and system decoding and/or encoding multiple channels. Accordingly, down-mixed multiple channels can be decoded/up-mixed to a left channel and a right channel during a first stage, thereby enabling a high quality sound output even in scalable channel decoding.

Abstract: An system, method, and method of encoding/decoding a multi-channel audio signal, including a decoding level generation unit producing decoding-level information that helps a bitstream including a number of audio channel signals and space information to be decoded into a number of audio channel signals, wherein the space information includes information about magnitude differences and/or similarities between channels, and an audio decoder decoding the bitstream according to the decoding-level information. Accordingly, even a single input bitstream can be decoded into a suitable number of channels depending on the type of a speaker configuration used. Scalable channel decoding can be achieved by partially decoding an input bitstream. In the scalable channel decoding, a decoder may set decoding levels and outputs audio channel signals according to the decoding levels, thereby reducing decoding complexity.

Abstract: A bridgeless PFC (power factor correction) converter with improved efficiency is disclosed. The bridgeless PFC converter comprises: a first input terminal and a second input terminal configured to receive an input AC signal; an output terminal; an inductor set comprising N inductors, wherein a first terminal of each inductor is coupled to the first input terminal; and an output stage comprising (N+1) switching circuits coupled between the output terminal and a ground node.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of receiving a digital audio signal, using a processor, includes correcting the digital audio signal from lost data. Correcting includes copying frequency domain coefficients of the digital audio signal from a previous frame, adaptively adding random noise coefficients to the copied frequency domain coefficients, and scaling the random noise coefficients and the copied frequency domain coefficients to form recovered frequency domain coefficients. Scaling is controlled with a parameter representing a periodicity or harmonicity of the digital audio signal. A corrected audio signal is produced from the recovered frequency domain coefficients.
