  • Patent number: 5490183
    Abstract: Base station equipment of a digital mobile communication system includes a digital audio signal processing apparatus provided for each message channel for low bit rate coding and decoding a digital audio signal. Each digital audio signal processing apparatus includes a plurality of memories that store a plurality of low bit rate coding/decoding programs differing from each other to comply with different low bit rate coding/decoding methods. A system control circuit determines the low bit rate coding/decoding method of an applied digital signal for controlling a selector to select a memory that stores corresponding low bit rate coding/decoding program. As a result, the digital audio signal processing apparatus performs digital to digital conversion of the applied digital signal according to the low bit rate coding/decoding program stored in the selected memory.

  • Patent number: 4507057
    Abstract: A civil machine having a flow-rate controller which applies a preset signal instead of a normal flow-rate signal to a variable type hydraulic pump when delivery pressure of the hydraulic pump exceeds a preset pressure value. The normal flow-rate signal corresponds to the position of an operating lever. The preset signal has a value of minimum flow rate to hold a working tool in a certain posture. With this control system, pressure loss and temperature rise in hydraulic operating oil as well as fuel consumption of the machine can be reduced and cycle time of the work can be improved.
