The generalized Differential pulse code modulation is a powerful technique for creating adaptive compound predictors. The method works well over a large range of image types and pixel depths, contains no image-dependent thresholds, and can be easily modified for domains other than greyscale image data. Possible applications include RGB color images, 3-D volume imaging, image sequences, and sound.

Advancing technology continually generates larger quantities of data at increasingly high transfer rates which fuels the need for instrumentation to take up the challenge of efficiently managing the collection of data. This defines the driving force behind the desire for increased channel capacity of PCM data formatters. By incorporating state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology coupled with high-performance Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), Inter-Coastal Electronics has designed the IF-810, a PCM data formatter. The IF-810 allows eight channels of PCM data, one voice channel and an InterRange Instrumentation Group (IRIG)-B channel to be combined and formatted for recording onto the TEAC RX-800 series recorders using a Hi8 8 mm video cassette as the recording media. During playback, the IF-810 clocks the PCM data out using a reconstructed version of the input clock. With this unique design, the PCM data and clock outputs are input directly to a decommutator which eliminates the need for costly bit-synchronizers. This paper discusses the integration of the DSP, FPGA and buffering techniques into a low-cost and efficient multi-channel PCM data formatter that accommodates high data rate inputs, all without the need of a bit-synchronizer for decommutation.

How difficult is it to develop a pulse code modulation (PCM) stream data format? Specifically, given a size, in bits, and a set of parameter sample rates, how hard is it to find a mapping of the sample rates that fits into the frame size - if one even exists? Using telemetry trees this paper will show that the number of possible mappings for a given set of parameters and sample rates grows exponentially in terms of the number of parameters. The problem can thus be stated in terms of finding a specific instance, or showing that no such instance exists, among an exponentially large number of potential mappings. Although not proof, this provides strong evidence that the PCM format design problem is NP-complete (meaning it is a member of nondeterministic polynomial space but not a member of deterministic polynomial space). That is, that the problem can not be solved in polynomial time and would take a computer years or centuries to solve relatively small instances of the problem. However, if the problem requirements are relaxed slightly, telemetry trees can be used to reduce the PCM formatting problem to linear time in terms of the number of parameters. This paper describes a technique that can provide an optimal and fully packed PCM format.

This paper describes a new modulation and transmission scheme known as Barker code position modulation (BCPM). It can be used either in frequency bands in which spectral spreading is obligatory (such as the industrial, scientific, and medical [ISM] bands) or in cases in which it might be desirable due to other considerations. The use of BCPM to communicate enables systems to increase the transmitted data rate considerably. In the example discussed in this paper, the data rate is quadrupled from 2 to 8 Mb/s. Algorithms to decode BCPM signals efficiently in the presence of inter-symbol interference are also described. These may be applied to decoding a class of orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal signals. They can also be used to construct optimal and suboptimal receiver structures for systems using such signals to communicate over dispersive channels.

Power control (PC) is an important issue in a direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) cellular mobile radio system. Higher link performance and greater system capacity cannot be achieved unless an appropriate PC mechanism is employed. In previous research, a delta-modulation (DM) realization of strength-based and SIR-based PC mechanisms for uplink communication has been studied by simulation. In order to obtain higher PC trackability, in this paper we study a pulse-code-modulation (PCM) realization of the above two PC mechanisms for the uplink of a DS-CDMA cellular mobile radio system. The simulation results presented here indicate that PC mechanisms with PCM realization for the uplink can achieve a lower outage probability and thus higher link performance than PC mechanisms with DM realization. We also obtain optimal design parameters such as the stepsize and the control mode for the two PCM PC mechanisms. In addition, we compare the two PCM PC mechanisms in terms of their outage probability and stability and find that the strength-based mechanism has a higher outage probability but greater stability than the SIR-based mechanism.

The quality of the aberration compensation provided by phase-conjugating mirrors (PCMs) is important for applications in lensless imaging or interferometry. In many cases an accuracy of a tenth of the wavelength for the phase reversal is sufficient. It will be shown that both the Fourier fringe evaluation method and a lensless image projection technique are useful to characterize the fidelity of phase conjugation with BaTiO3. A quantitative evaluation of the fidelity is given for four-wave mixing in Bi12TiO20 and self-pumped PCM with BaTiO3.

The present paper presents a numerical analysis concerning thermal protection characteristics of a vertical rectangular composite cell filled with a solid-liquid phase change material (PCM) and air layer. Inside the composite cell the PCM layer is separated from air layer by a solid partition of negligible thickness. The buoyancy-induced flows developed in both the air-filled layer and the molten PCM zone inside the PCM layer were modeled as two-dimensional laminar Newtonian fluid flow adhering to the Boussinesq approximation. Meanwhile, two-dimensional conduction heat transfer was accounted for the unmelted solid PCM region. Delineation is made via a parametric simulation of the effects of the pertinent parameters: Ste (Stefan number), Sc (subcooling factor), Ra (Rayleigh number), aspect ratio of composite cell, A, and relative thickness ratio A(p)/A(a), on the transient thermal protection performance of the composite cell. Results demonstrate that by means of the latent-heat absorption inside the PCM layer, heat penetration across the composite cell can be greatly retarded over an effective duration until a critical instant until the melting front of PCM reaches the partition wall. Such an effective thermal protection duration is found to be a strong function of Ra, Ste, A(p)/A(a), and A. In addition, the results of the transient heat transfer rate penetrating through the composite cell are examined as a function of the pertinent parameters of the problem.

This paper proposes a bit-stream-arranged weighted modulation scheme to improve voice quality in frequency selective fading channels. The proposed modulation scheme employs an input bit stream arrangement method which changes the bit stream order for important bits so that they do not adjoin each other over time and a mapping method which controls the amplitude of modulation signals according to the importance of the bits, Computer simulations clarify that the proposed bit-stream-arranged weighted modulation scheme shows a noise reduction of 7 dB in voice signal compared with the conventional pi/4-shift DQPSK modulation scheme.

Conventional digital audio, as used for instance on compact discs, requires a large bandwidth for transmission and enormous amounts of storage space. Developments in high-speed digital signal processing chips have made it practical to reduce these requirements by employing sophisticated data compression techniques which reduce redundant and irrelevant information in the source signal. The paper reviews the types of digital audio data compression coders that are now available, their applications and the principles involved.

Using simple multiplexer models, the performances of two prioritization mechanisms for the transmission of PCM coded signals modeled as exponential on/off sources are investigated and compared with nonprioritized transmission using statistical multiplexing and peak allocation, In both mechanisms the source traffic is partitioned into a low-priority stream and a high-priority stream, In the first approach independent channels of different quality of service are used to transport the two-priority streams. In the second approach a single channel is used in conjunction with a selective packet discarding procedure which attempts to restrict loss to the low-priority traffic, For a given source partitioning, new formulae are given to describe the average loss ratio for the low- and high-priority traffic. The effect of loss on quality for PCM coded signal is quantified by a new formula which relates signal-to reconstruction-noise ratio to low- and high priority loss. The results of the investigation show that both methods of prioritized transmission can provide significant improvements in overall service quality when the channel utilization is high.
