The µ-law CODEC
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes how to use a CODEC (COder-DECoder) to encode, decode, synthesize and play AU-format audio data. The AU format use a μ -law (pronounced mu-law) compression technique improving dynamic range over the linear encoding of audio. The μ -law CODEC dates from 1965, yet is still in common use today.

Optimum codec companding for high-speed PCM data transmission in telephone networks
Codecs used in telephone networks in the United States have a -law companding characteristic solely designed for the purpose of transmitting voice signals [1, 2]. These -law codecs are not well suited for the latest generation of high-speed digital voiceband modems requiring PCM data transmission at the quantization levels of the codec [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. In this paper, we have shown that us...
متن کاملComment on "Black hole constraints on varying fundamental constants".
In the Letter [1] (also [2]) there is a claim that the generalised second law of thermodynamics (entropy increase) for black holes provides some limits on the rate of variation of the fundamental constants of nature (electric charge e, speed of light c, etc.). We have come to a different conclusion. The results in [1, 2] are based on assumption that mass of a black hole does not change without ...
متن کاملCauchy's Interlace Theorem for Eigenvalues of Hermitian Matrices
Hermitian matrices have real eigenvalues. The Cauchy interlace theorem states that the eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix A of order n are interlaced with those of any principal submatrix of order n − 1. Theorem 1 (Cauchy Interlace Theorem). Let A be a Hermitian matrix of order n, and let B be a principal submatrix of A of order n − 1. If λ n ≤ λ n−1 ≤ · · · ≤ λ 2 ≤ λ 1 lists the eigenvalues of ...

First order phase transitions are described in terms of the microcanonical and canonical ensemble, with special attention to finite size effects. Difficulties in interpreting a " caloric curve " are discussed. A robust parameter indicating phase coexistence (univariance) or single phase (bivariance) is extracted for charge distributions. 1 Phase transitions, phase coexistence, and charge distri...
متن کاملExploring Noncommutative Algebras
In this lecture 1 I would like to address the following question: given an associative algebra A 0 , what are the possible ways to deform it? Consideration of this question for concrete algebras often leads to interesting mathematical discoveries. I will discuss several approaches to this question, and examples of applying them. 1. Deformation theory 1.1. Formal deformations. The most general a...
