Abstract:
Errors introduced during the transmission of digital sequences that have undergone correlative level coding with initial precoding are detected by a scheme that takes advantage of the inherent redundancy in correlative level coding. The received message is decoded in a succession of steps, the first of which is an inverse filtering operation that performs the exact inverse of the correlative encoding operation. If the channel was errorfree during this transmission, the sequence constructed by the inverse filtering process is identical with the precoded sequence that was subjected to correlative level coding prior to transmission. If the channel was not error-free, then the sequence constructed by inverse filtering differs from the initial precoded sequence. Whereas the precoded sequence is constrained to a certain permitted number of voltage levels, say m levels, the sequence constructed by inverse filtering is not so constrained and may assume more than m levels. If more than m levels are occupied by the inversely filtered signal, this condition is detected as an indication of transmission error. The final decoding step is performed after this error test is accomplished.
Abstract:
A digital magnetic recording system which uses conventional NRZI coding and a readback channel of conventional design operates, in effect, as a precoding and correlative level coding process that is characterized by a transfer function of 1-D (where ''''D'''' is a delay operator). Under these conditions, the minimum spacing that can be permitted between adjacent digit symbols in the magnetic recording medium without incurring excessive intersymbol interference during readback is rather large and severely limits the recording density. The present invention uses interleaved NRZI coding and a special filter in the readback channel to provide a precoding and correlative level coding scheme characterized by a transfer function 1-D2. This mode of operation permits much denser packing of the data in the recording medium without causing excessive intersymbol interference during readback.
Abstract:
To increase the rate at which data can be passed without intersymbol interference through an equalized low-pass channel of the raised-cosine-type each input digit sequence undergoes a preliminary encoding process that converts it into a corresponding run-length-limited sequence in which every ''''1'''' digit is separated from every other ''''1'''' digit in the sequence by at least one intervening ''''0'''' digit. The digits of such a run-length-limited sequence can pass through a modified raisedcosine channel without intersymbol interference at a rate that is twice the maximum rate at which this channel can reliably pass the digits of sequences containing 1''s in immediately adjacent positions.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for generating a personalized voice from a text. SOLUTION: The method for generating the personalized voice from the text includes a step for analyzing the input text and obtaining standard parameters of a voice to be synthesized from a standard text voice database, a step for mapping the standard parameters to personalized voice parameters with a personalized model obtained in a training process, and a step for synthesizing a voice corresponding to the input text according to the personalized voice parameters. This method is used to simulate the voice of an object person and turn the voice generated by a TTS system into a more attractive and personalized voice.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the recovery of loop frame synchronization in a magnetic bubble domain memory are disclosed. One loop of the memory is used to store the parity of corresponding bits for the other loops. A special sequence of even/odd parity pattern with a peaked autocorrelation function is inserted at the end or start of the loop frame in place of the normal even or odd parity in the parity loop. The special sequence of even/odd parity pattern is detected by a pattern recognizer to re-establish loop frame synchronization.

Abstract:
A relational data base system utilizing magnetic bubble domain storage. The bubble domain storage is located on a magnetic chip and includes storage circuitry for storing bubble domains in columns and rows. The bubble domains are coded to represent data, and the rows and columns of bubbles correspond to tables of data which are determined by various relations. Current activated transfer gates located on the magnetic chip are used to select a particular row or a particular column of bubble domains for accessing. The magnetic chip also includes a write circuit for writing bubble domains into storage and a read circuit for reading bubble domains removed from storage. Located off the magnetic chip are column addressing circuits, row addressing circuits, interface circuitry, and a computer central processing unit. The interface circuitry is located between the central processing unit and the bubble domain storage chip, while the column and row addressing circuits provide inputs to a transfer control circuit that is used to activate selected current carrying lines when it is determined to access a particular row or column of bubbles in storage. New information can be entered into any of the stored tables of bubble domains, and information can be removed from any of the stored tables. Also, new tables of information can be provided in storage by combining selected rows or columns of tables already in storage.
