Airbus picks older battery style for 787 rival jet, but reserves right to switch

Airbus' plan announced Friday to shift to proven nickel-cadmium battery technology for its upcoming Dreamliner rival A350XWB could put the European jet builder in a very favorable position in the near term.
But it may make little difference in the long term.
Airbus may be in a position to fly an A350 at the Paris Air Show June 17-23, because its test aircraft will be using lithium-ion batteries and won't require the redesign that the ni-cad switch will necessitate. A demonstration flight at the world's largest air show would be a very large feather in Airbus' cap, especially since this upcoming Paris Air Show will be the 50th, and therefore an especially prestigious event.
The mostly composite Airbus A350 is to compete directly against Boeing's mostly composite 787 Dreamliner, although the Airbus plane is the larger of the two, and the A350 1000 model also will compete against Boeing's 777.
"I think it's a very shrewd move on the part of Airbus," said Michel Merluzeau, managing partner and aerospace analyst for G2 Solutions LLC in Kirkland, about the Airbus's decision to take the known path.
"Where they are in the development state of the A350, it still allowed them to have some room for manufacturing changes before first flight and pre-production of the airplane," Merluzeau said. "They can go in there and say, 'We are taking a lower-risk approach, so if anything about lithium-ion comes up, we're not forced to rethink our battery if FAA says this do or do that.'"
Meanwhile, the 787 may still be grounded come June, due to problems with its newer-technology lithium-ion battery system. A battery fire in a Japan Airlines jet, followed by a smoldering battery in an All Nippon Airways jet, caused the FAA and similar agencies to ground the 787 fleet Jan. 16.
Steve Wilhelm covers manufacturing, aerospace and trade for the Puget Sound Business Journal.

Constantine Confronts a New Kind of Demon in Exclusive Clip
So…who's hungry?
So…who's hungry?
Rakish, cunning and possessing a tie to the supernatural world that's brought them nothing but pain. Sound familiar? Yes, we could be talking about John Constantine, the "hero" of the upcoming NBC series Constantine and the DC and Vertigo comics from which it draws its inspiration. But we could just as easily be referring to Mary "Zed" Martin, the vision-prone artist embodied on the show by actress Angélica Celaya.
Blair and Tiffany seem like such smart people. So why have they been hanging out with the Usual Gang of Idiots?
Barry Allen hits the ground running next month in the highly anticipated new show, The Flash. If you're a fan of the Scarlet Speedster, you've likely been counting down the days, and while we're unable to make them pass any faster (you'd need the Speed Force for something like that), our good friends at The CW are making the wait a little easier with some brand new images from the pilot, including a DCComics.com exclusive image showing Barry Allen alongside the brilliant Harrison Wells at S.T.A.R. Labs.
The End is nearly here…
The End…is now in sight.
Who says there's no way to get a glimpse of the future?
The future's a lot closer than you think.

Alfred Molina
"My only objective as an actor when I started was to stay employed. I come from a working-class immigrant family, and my father's advice to me was 'Pay your bills.' My dad used to say, 'A real man isn't a guy who can punch anybody out; he's the man who pays his bills.' And I remember at the time thinking that was boring, but actually what he was talking about was the heart and soul of living your life — being a decent mensch. So I just stayed employed, and maybe that accounts for my longevity. I wasn't fussy."
As it turns out, Molina's father was chock full of wisdom. He also made an important point to his son about the danger of becoming too satisfied with your work: instead of pushing yourself, you become content with mediocrity. He explains, "I remember cooking a meal for my dad, a professional cook, and I asked him how it was. He said,'It's all right,' and I said, 'What do you mean it's all right? I got it perfect.' And he said, 'You never get it right. The day you get it right is the day you die.'"

Over the last two weeks we've seen a couple videos of the 2014 Corvette Stingray working out on the Nurburgring. One of our posts on Facebook wondered aloud if GM vehicle dynamics engineer and Corvette Track Rat Jim Mero was in Germany. Based on these photos from Chevrolet Europe, we believe the answer is yes.
We've featured her previously in a video from the NYC Auto Show. Here's Corvette Product Presenter Alicia Amie doing a 4 minute walk around of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the 65th Annual Frankfurt Motor Show.
Visit CorvetteVideos.TV for the best selection of hand-picked Corvette videos.
Autoblog has a gallery of spy photos from the guys at KGP Photography that appear to show a camouflaged Corvette Z07 Convertible prototype undergoing testing at an unnamed facility. The Corvette is well covered with both the white/black swirls on the body and the blanket-covers that we remember well from the testing of the Corvette Stingray in 2012. However, there are some visual clues that do lead us to believe this is the high performance version of the C7 Corvette.
The PinkVette has generated a lot of green on its recent travels around the Northeast raising money to fight breast cancer.
The specially painted 1984 Corvette has spent the past 18 months as the cornerstone of the "Cruisin for a Cure" campaign that has already raised twice as much money as organizers had anticipated.
The early reviews continue to glow about the new 2014 Corvette Stingray, and added to the list this week is an important one – Consumer Reports.
If you can live up to the standards set by this product-ranking giant, then you know you're doing something right.
And Consumer Reports' first time behind the wheel of a Stingray was favorable, according to a story just released on their website.
As you can imagine, life is pretty hectic at the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green right now.
Plant manager Dave Tatman took time out to talk to a crowd of 300 people Tuesday at the Barren River Area Development District's annual luncheon at the National Corvette Museum just across from the assembly plant.
Here's a great picture that shows just how fast the 1400-car shipping lot at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant is filling with brand spanking new 2014 Corvette Stingrays. We understand that the Quality Control process has been very tight, but with this many Stingrays lined up and ready to go, it most likely means that the QC isn't finding many issues and production is ramping up.
It's time for Throwback Thursday where we feature vintage photos of Corvettes. Here we have two beautiful icons from the 1960s. The first is obviously a 1969 Corvette Stingray with a wild custom paint job that makes us wish it was in color. And secondly, the mainstay of automotive events is Miss whatever-the-name-of-the-dragstrip.
How much horsepower will the C7's new V8 engine be able to produce on the dyno?
Well, Jessi Lang with The J-Turn web show for Motor Trend wanted to find out so she took a 2014 Corvette Stingray to the K&N facility. With Robert "Pops" Calles, product tech with K&N, behind the wheel, the blue Z51 was taken to the limit on the dyno, literally.

Christian York
Real Name
Jason Spence
Date of Birth
April 13, 1977
Place of Birth
Fans at WWE live events have noticed that the company has been greatly reducing the price on Daniel Bryan merchandise over the last couple of weeks. That has led to some speculation about the future of the former world heavyweight champion, who has been out of action because of a severe neck injury. The belief is that management is simply trying to clear out the merchandise, and that it has no bearing on what will happen with Bryan.
November 20, 2014
Since it has been heavily rumored for months now and the seeds are clearly visible on Monday Night Raw, the Randy Orton baby face turn is taking place very soon. The former world heavyweight champion, however, is said to not be extremely happy about the switch. Orton has long felt more comfortable portraying a heel. He is said to be willing to go through with the turn, if it increased his chances of moving up the ladder and moving more merchandise.
October 31, 2014
There is some development in the bitter feud between WWE and CM Punk, it seems. When the former world heavyweight champion had his lawyers send a 22 page letter to the company about royalties, management responded by removing most of his products from their online store. Something might have changed backstage, as WWE is selling Punk merchandise again.
October 27, 2014
Rumors have long been floating around that there is some professional resentment from Randy Orton towards John Cena because he feels that WWE shows preferential treatment towards Cena. His recent comments on Twitter appear to confirm the speculations. Orton told fans that management only produces new merchandise for him after they make room for the Cena stuff.
October 26, 2014
If you're a big fan of Roman Reigns and want to see WWE continue to push him, then there's some really good news from the merchandise department. His products are the second best selling ones at live events across the country. Management uses that as a big gauge for who they continue to push. John Cena remains the leading seller by a landslide, however.
October 9, 2014
Some heavy speculations have arisen this week on the possible return of Steve Austin to WWE. Reports have surfaced that management has informed manufacturers to go heavy on products related to Stone Cold and informed distributors to prepare for a boost in merchandise coming through. No word yet on what Austin will be doing when he comes back, but there is a chance that it could just be a brief appearance.
September 26, 2014
Last week, CM Punk had his lawyers send a 22 page letter to WWE regarding his royalty payments, and it appears that the company is responding by quickly removing his merchandise from their online store and at live events. The belief is that management does not want to keep paying Punk money, but at the same time, they already spent money on creating the merchandise.
September 9, 2014
When the company moved CM Punk from their official roster to the alumni section yesterday, WWE created a bit of a stir. Things escalated even further when management removed his merchandise from the WWE Shop website. Apparently, there was some miscommunication within the company on the matter. All of his merchandise have been returned to the online store.
July 17, 2014
Long known as one of the most famous wrestlers in all of Japan, Masahiro Chono has signed a new deal with WWE. However, the contract is not for him to become an in ring performer for the company. Chono and WWE have an agreement that enables the international star to sell nWo related merchandise in Japan. Chono was a part of the stable and feels that now is a good time to bring the items back to the overseas market.
July 10, 2014
Earlier in this week, Zack Ryder revealed to fans that WWE is no longer selling his merchandise. The belief is that it is a part of the company's plan to diminish his name value for when they decide to release him from his contract. Since the start of the year, Ryder has only been utilized eight times on television, all of which were losses. He hasn't had a victory on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown since December of 2012, when he pinned David Otunga on Raw.
July 5, 2014
A status update on Twitter from Zack Ryder, informing fans that WWE is no longer selling any of his merchandise. Rumors have been circulating that the company wants to downplay his popularity, and this revelation lends credibility to those speculations. The fact that Ryder actually pointed it out in public is a sign that he could be really frustrated with his situation in WWE.
July 1, 2014
In a really interesting move, WWE is looking to hire a body double for Sting, so that they can film some sort of stunt for the upcoming DVD about the legendary WCW star. While many fans are clamoring for Sting to finally make his debut in WWE, the belief is that the two sides have only come to an agreement on a contract to produce content and merchandise.
June 9, 2014
Last month, it was revealed that Rey Mysterio had his contract extended another year by WWE because he had missed so much time over the last twelve months. It was a move done by Vince McMahon to keep one of his top merchandise guys around. Rumors coming out now are that Mysterio is not too pleased with that, as he wanted to leave WWE once his contract expired. There are talks that a legal battle could ensue.
June 5, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Sting will be included in the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game, which is scheduled to be released in October. Speculations arose recently because Sting appears to be on the verge of signing a legends contract with the company, which would enable WWE to use his likeness on merchandise. The belief is that Sting will be a bonus to those that order early.
June 5, 2014
"It's hard if you're quantifying raw numbers to say anyone was more popular at their zenith than Stone Cold Steve Austin. No one sold more merchandise, tickets or pay per view than Steve. The thing with Junkyard Dog was that he was the first African American number one baby face in a major territory. For black fans especially, he was such a groundbreaking force. There was a unique emotional relationship that JYD had with his audience. He gave a whole race their guy." - Jim Ross describes Junkyard Dog and his place in wrestling history
May 9, 2014
While neither side has confirmed anything, rumors are that WWE and Rey Mysterio have been in contract negotiations to see if the masked wrestler can continue his career with the company for a couple of more years. The belief is that WWE has some leverage this time around because Mysterio merchandise is not moving as well as it has in the past.
May 8, 2014
Now that his week long triple to Hawaii with his family is over, Rey Mysterio is looking to get back to work. The former world heavyweight champion revealed to fans that he was heading to Stamford to meet with WWE officials. The belief is that the two sides are going to negotiate a new contract, so that Mysterio, still one of the top merchandise movers on the roster, can continue his career with the company.
April 30, 2014
While a lot of speculation and rumors have been floating around that he has signed the contract offer with the company because he made some appearances recently to discuss the life of the Ultimate Warrior, Sting still has yet to sign a deal with WWE to become an on screen character. He might have signed a minor deal for merchandise and DVD, however.
April 29, 2014
It appears that the social media experiment for Terry Funk has come to an end, as the legendary NWA star has been quiet for almost half a year now. Funk was pretty active with his status updates back in September, where he promoted some merchandise. He was silent until posting something about WWE in December. No status updates since then.
April 29, 2014
With CM Punk not being on television for a couple of months now, his merchandise sales have been slumping a bit. That has enabled Daniel Bryan to move to the second spot on the list of WWE stars who move the most units. Management wants to try to close the gap between Bryan and John Cena, who sits at the top spot by a considerable margin.
April 24, 2014
On February 22, OMEGA Championship Wrestling is doing a live event in Smithfield, North Carolina. Matt Hardy and Shane Helms will be headlining the event as a tag team. Gunner, Christian York and Reby Sky have all been announced for the show as well.
February 6, 2014
With TNA looking to cut costs, the company opted to release a couple of performers. One of the ones that did not survive the cut was Christian York, whose biggest role in the company was winning the Gutcheck challenge. He is expected to return to the independent wrestling circuit.
July 3, 2013

July 21, 2014

July 21, 2014
Prior to becoming known worldwide as a legend in professional wrestling, Bruiser Brody was actually a pretty good football player. He was an all state high school player in Michigan. His talents were so good that he caught the attention of a university in Texas. He parlayed his success in college to an NFL career, doing a brief stint with the Washington Redskins.
May 1, 2014
While he was easily one of the best overall performers during his generation, Tully Blanchard was a bit of a headache backstage. Shortly before he decided to leave WWE, Blanchard ended up failing a drug test because of cocaine, so management had no choice but to fire him. Bobby Heenan had to replace him in the match at Survivor Series 1989.
May 1, 2014
While he does not get featured as much by WWE nowadays, Pedro Morales will forever have a place in company history. The Puerto Rican star was the first guy to have won the WWE title, world tag team championship and the Intercontinental Championship. Morales even held the WWE and tag team championship, which he won with Bob Backlund, at the same time.
April 29, 2014
For a young professional wrestler, being able to work with a big time star could be what helps to spring board your career into the next level. A memorable feud with the legendary Harley Race was how Hercules Hernandez managed to make a name for himself during the territorial days. It was shortly after that feud that he found himself being signed by the NWA.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Scott Norton was a star in the arm wrestling world. The former WCW star won at least thirty championships, including four national titles. He also traveled overseas for competition, including a life changing one in Japan. Norton also had enough recognition to be cast in Over the Top, a Sylvester Stallone movie about arm wrestling.
April 28, 2014
While he will forever associated with the famous wrestling last name, Ole Anderson is actually not an Anderson at all. His real name is Alan Rogowski. He simply adopted the Ole Anderson name to connect with the audience who were already familiar with Gene Anderson, his story line brother. Another interesting point of interest is that Ole Anderson is a play on the word oleander, a poisonous plant.
April 28, 2014
Back in 2000, the world of professional wrestling was saddened by the death of Masakazu Fukuda. While working a tournament match, Fukuda was hit by a flying elbow drop from Katsuyori Shibata. The blow proved to be fatal, as Fukuda had to be taken to the hospital, where he died a couple of days later. New Japan finished the tournament and dedicated the event in his honor.
April 28, 2014
Prior to becoming a star in WCW, Sid Vicious managed to pull off a pretty amazing feat while working for New Japan. Even though he was an unknown, Vicious was able to convince the promoters in Japan to give him a shot at the legendary Tatsumi Fujinami and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. He lost, of course, but was able to gain some recognition in the late 1980s by being in the match.
April 27, 2014
For as long as she has been on television, Stephanie McMahon has been a topic of interest for professional wrestling fans. Many WWE fans are quite enamored with her, so it comes as no surprise that her bra size is routinely discussed. During an interview once, Stephanie revealed that she received breast implants and now has a bra size of D cup.
April 24, 2014
Since she has been around WWE for a very long time, wrestling fans have been wondering how old Stephanie McMahon is. She was born on September 24, 1976, which makes her 37 right now. Due to her age and the fact that the kids are getting a little older, Stephanie recently decided to scale back on her responsibilities within WWE. She is no longer in charge of the creative department.
April 22, 2014
The boring gimmick that Lance Storm received while working in WWE was actually a little jab at internet wrestling fans. Many viewed him as a guy that was just too boring to be a star. In actuality, though, Storm has a pretty good personality and a sense of humor backstage. WWE went with the gimmick in order to try to something to see if it would give him momentum.
April 13, 2014
Back when he was a teenager in Mississippi, Kamala was a bit of a thief. He became known in town as a burglar who came from a poor family. The local police did not want to arrest him, so they heavily suggested that he leave town to avoid any further complications. The future WWE star opted to flee to the state of Florida, where he made money by picking fruit.
April 11, 2014
In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role. However, Ventura had blood clots in his lungs, which was due to his stint in the Vietnam War, and was forced to retire as an in ring performer. WWE moved Heenan on to other wrestlers.
April 10, 2014
In one of the more interesting connections in professional wrestling, when Wahoo McDaniel was a teenager in Texas, he was coached in baseball by George Bush, who would go on to become the 41st President of the United States.
April 9, 2014
Even though the truth has been out there for several years now, a lot of wrestling fans are still under the belief that Ole Anderson and Arn Anderson are brothers in real life. They're not. The relationship was created for their on screen characters to help Arn connect with the audience quicker because Ole was already established in the territory.
April 4, 2014
Back during the 1980s, one of the most talked about segment in professional wrestling was when Uncle Elmer got married on national television. It was an actual wedding, as the performer was really wanting to marry his longtime girlfriend. When he approached Vince McMahon about it, the promoter loved the idea and decided to make it a draw for WWE.
April 4, 2014
One of the biggest mysteries in professional wrestling involves Dennis Condrey and his decision to walk away from the Midnight Express. When asked about the situation, Bobby Eaton said that his former tag team partner basically left without saying a word to him for two years. Condrey reportedly did not inform Jim Cornette or the NWA, either.

I have diagnosed myself.
I have jetlag.
Jetlag from vacation, having crossed only one time zone.
Stay with me for a minute because I am convinced this is a real thing…
Traveling gets my curiosity going. It gets my heart going. I get my learning on and I get my walking shoes on. I try to understand what makes another culture tick and give up my trivialities and my worries for a few days.
Travelling solo brings that out even more so. I woke up thrilled by the fact that I had no agenda everyday. I could get going whenever I wanted. Two cups of coffee while getting ready? No problem. In no rush to throw off the pajamas? Amazing.
I'd wrap my camera over my shoulder, grab my city map and
my brand new iPhone 6 (no… wait… I broke that approximately 5 seconds after arriving in Seville) … my iPAD (yes, I was THAT tourist on this trip holding up a screen the size of my face to get my Instagram pics) and run out the door. Maybe I had a plan, maybe I didn't. Maybe I'd look at the map, maybe I wouldn't. Maybe I'd get lost. Maybe I'd find my way again. Maybe I'd ask for help. Maybe I'd accidentally speak Italian to everyone. Maybe I'd be shy about asking for recommendations. Maybe I'd get my courage up and do it anyway. Maybe I'd embarrass myself. Did it really matter?
Maybe I'd run around town and see so many sites in one go my feet would ache at night. Maybe I'd take my time the next day and sit in a Moorish Garden with Amy Poehler's (incredible) book for an hour, soaking up the sun. Maybe I'd discover something.
Travelling solo makes you realise and appreciate the power of choice. And the fact that you need to make choices because no one else will make them for you. Adrenaline is also a funny thing. I'm learning that travel is the one thing that can guarantee to get my heart going.
But this post is about the one thing I apparently haven't learned and that is how to come back down from it. I landed in London on Saturday afternoon, ran errands all day Sunday and tried to fix the last phone I broke (yes, this is apparently now "a thing" and I no longer trust myself with technology).
I could not for the life of me fall asleep last night. My mind was racing. Going back to work/to the everyday/to responsibilities was hard. I'd only gone to Spain – I was still in Europe – there was a one hour time difference – why couldn't I snap out of it and just rest?
And here we are – Monday night – I'm exhausted. I'm not exactly sure why I'd been so unsettled the night before – why I couldn't snap out of the solo travel mode.
But I do know I'll embrace it again at the next opportunity. Being diagnosed with holiday jetlag is 100% worth it.
Seville trip in stats:
- 1,354 miles from London to Seville
- 2.5 hours flight from Gatwick Airport via EasyJet
- 4 nights via AirBnB
- 6 historic sites visited
- 840 pictures taken
- 3 evenings of neighbors hosting opera singing lessons
- 3 meals consisting purely of gazpacho (trust me, its better in Seville)
- 2 rooftop Gin & Tonics

Hoping to set itself apart from other television makers, Toshiba will soon put on sale in Japan the first television based on the powerful Cell multimedia processor, the same chip that's used in the PlayStation 3. The Cell Regza TV boasts several advanced features including the ability to simultaneously record eight high-definition channels. The TV represents more than the culmination of four years of research and development. No other company has yet talked about putting such powerful processing inside a TV and Toshiba is betting that the functions enabled by the inclusion of the Cell give it an edge in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

A method of compensating within a receiving endpoint for lost audio packets transmitted across an IP network, comprising the steps of storing a packet buffer of samples as a plurality of sub packets within a jitter buffer, inserting at least one interpolated sub packet between successive sub packets in the buffer, and playing out the sub packets from the buffer, such that only small portions of the jitter buffer are replayed at specific times to minimize the negative effects on voice quality. The inventive method inserts the replayed portions to compensate for packet loss in a way that results in only a relatively low processing burden.

This invention relates in general to digital signal transmission, and more particularly to a sub-packet insertion method for packet loss compensation method in voice over IP (VOIP) networks.
The transmission of voice and audio data over IP networks presents some inherent challenges regarding end to end quality of service. Specifically, packet loss, packet delays and packet jitter are characteristics that can significantly impact voice quality.
From an endpoint's (e.g. phone) perspective on an IP network, packet loss occurs in an arbitrary, unpredictable fashion. Packet loss is out of the endpoint's control and typically occurs due to a collision or some network overload (e.g. in a router or gateway). Since the packet loss can occur in the physical implementation of the network (e.g. collisions in cables) there is no guaranteed mechanism to inform the receiver when a packet is missing. Therefore, sequence numbers are used to allow the receiver to detect packet loss. Also, once lost, the packet is not re-transmitted since the associated delay in retransmission is prohibitive in real time telephony applications. Thus, the onus is on the receiving endpoint to implement some form of detection and compensation for packets lost in the network. The challenge in this respect is to adequately reconstruct the original signal and maintain a sufficient level of voice quality.
Packet delay and packet jitter are additional network phenomena that require measures of compensation to maintain voice quality. As packets travel from a source endpoint to a destination endpoint they are typically relayed through various routers or hubs along the way. As a result of variable queuing delays and variable routing paths, sequential periodic packets sent from a source can arrive out of order and with substantial delay and jitter at the destination endpoint. Typically a receiver manages these issues by implementing a buffer of packets to smooth the variable jitter and to allow the receiver to re-arrange packets into their proper order. Unfortunately such a buffer increases the nominal delay of the audio stream depending on its size, and as such must be minimized since audio delay has its own negative effect on voice quality. This minimization prevents 100% compensation for delay and jitter in the receiver and effectively increases the rate of packet loss in the system since a late packet cannot be inserted into an ongoing audio stream.
Most applications use the aforementioned buffer of packets to handle jitter and packet delay. Routines that manage this buffer monitor incoming sequence numbers and detect both lost and late packets. In telephony applications packets are usually delay constrained to 10, 20 or 30 ms in size. To compensate for a loss of this duration the receiving endpoint can replay a previous packet, decrease the playout rate (assuming the jitter buffer is of sufficient size), interpolate samples or implement a silence detection and insertion scheme.
Simple replaying of a previous packet is computationally trivial yet often yields unsatisfactory results since voice quality dramatically suffers as packet loss increases. A variation of this scheme is to replace the lost packet with an idle or zeros packet but this too is quite noticeable under even marginal packet loss.
Decreasing the playout rate and interpolation between samples are effectively the same thing; both alter the receive sample rate to reduce the consumption rate of samples. Playout adjustment is implemented in the prior art via hardware for adjusting the sample clock or the sample frame length, whereas interpolation is implemented in the prior art as a software method of inserting additional samples by means of averaging. Both methods have an undesirable side effect of causing a frequency shift of the signal due to the change in sample rate. To minimize the frequency shift only small adjustments to the sample rate can be made. However, under conditions of packet loss, small adjustments do not provide an adequate rate of compensation.
Prior art silence detection algorithms monitor the signal stream to determine the intervals between voice where the signal consists of merely background noise. Silence insertion is the process of using the silence detection information to insert additional silence periods to compensate for lost packets. This method can be effective if there are many silence intervals or if the jitter buffer is large enough to guarantee some silence intervals most of the time. Unfortunately in voice conversations silence periods are often very small (between words) and they cannot be guaranteed during the time frame of a typical jitter buffer. Furthermore, silence detection imposes an additional processing burden when compared to the other prior art methods of compensation.
According to the present invention, a method is provided for packet loss compensation in real time voice over IP applications. The method of the invention allows a receiving endpoint to dynamically detect and recover from packet loss with minimal processing overhead. Specifically, a hybrid method of packet loss compensation is provided in accordance with which only small portions of the jitter buffer (referred to herein as sub packets) are replayed at specific times to minimize the negative effects on voice quality. The inventive method inserts the replayed portions to compensate for packet loss in a way that results in only a relatively low processing burden.
A detailed description of the preferred embodiment is set forth herein below with reference to the following drawings, in which:
The basic features of any voice over IP implementation are a transmitting and receiving endpoint separated by an IP network. The IP network consists of various interconnected elements such as hubs, routers and gateways. From an endpoint perspective, however, the interface is simply a connecting IP cable which can be viewed as a dedicated connection from transmitter to receiver.
Thus, as shown in
The jitter buffer 7 is conventionally implemented as a simple ring buffer of sequentially ordered IP packet buffers. Each packet buffer contains an IP header section, an RTP (Real Time Protocol) header section and the packet payload as shown in FIG. 2. The payload comprises a buffer of samples to be played according to the sequence number in the RTP header. The jitter handling capability is determined by the size of the jitter buffer 7. This size (in number of packets) is an architectural parameter, however, as previously mentioned, the jitter buffer 7 must be minimized to limit the end to end delay. This can lead to effective packet loss when the packet jitter exceeds the buffer's capabilities. Additionally if a packet is lost in the network 3 due to a collision or overload (e.g. if Seq# 3 in
In prior art packet loss compensation schemes, replaying any subset of a voice stream is a form of interpolation. As indicated above, it is commonplace in the prior art to replay an entire packet to compensate for the loss of a packet. This method is noticeable for most users as a stuttering effect, since the packet size is usually tens of milliseconds in duration. It is also known in the art to either replay one sample at a time or interpolate to generate an additional sample. Both approaches suffer from the disadvantage of decreasing the frequency of the voice signal. Even interpolating every 5th or 10th sample causes a noticeable frequency shift and is often insufficient in compensating for lost packets in a timely fashion.
According to the present invention, each packet buffer is divided into smaller sub packets to allow the replaying of sub packets as a compromise between the two prior art approaches discussed above. A sub packet is simply a short sequence of samples contained in the payload of a given packet buffer. The non-obvious benefit of the sub packet approach is that the frequency shift of sample interpolation becomes less noticeable as the sub packet size increases while the stuttering effect of packet replay decreases as the sub packet size decreases. The choice of sub packet size thus becomes critical in the tradeoff between these two competing requirements. According to the best mode of this invention, a one-millisecond sub packet is selected based on experimental results.
When either the receiver 5 has either detected a packet loss or detects that the sample count of jitter buffer 7 is beginning to underflow, it enables the packet loss compensation algorithm according to the invention. It has been determined by experimentation that one packet remaining in the jitter buffer 7 represents a sufficient threshold for detection. The packet loss compensation method comprises inserting an interpolated sub packet for playout after every other sub packet period (in this case 1 ms), as shown in FIG. 4. This replay period is chosen to minimize both the stuttering effect and the frequency shift while quickly reclaiming the lost packet (i.e. the remaining samples in the jitter buffer 7 are �expanded� by 50%). The inserted sub packet is interpolated to minimize the transition effects between sub packets. This is accomplished by a simple weighting scheme to make the first samples of the replayed sub packet resemble the first samples of the next sub packet to be played (which would have been what the first playout would have flowed into without the compensation).
To further minimize the stuttering effect, the compensation method of the present invention is only invoked when the underflow situation is critical. Thus, if compensation has occurred for several sub packets and a new, subsequent packet arrives, the compensation algorithm is suspended until the sample count again decreases to the critical threshold. This automatically spreads the compensation out at a decreasing rate, which is less noticeable to the human ear.
The computational burden of the sub packet insertion scheme is relatively lightweight compared to prior art silence detection/insertion schemes. The insertion of a sub packet into the playout stream every other sub packet period is straightforward since the previous sub packet buffer can often be re-used and only three samples require modification to implement the smoothing process. The inserted sub packet results from a simple scaling of two samples followed by averaging (usually implemented as a shift if the scaling ratio is chosen as a power of two).
The following pseudo code shows a preferred implementation of the sub packet insertion method according to the invention:
By inserting weighted sub packets after every other sub packet period, the packet loss compensation method of the present invention can compensate for lost packets at a 50% compensation rate. Thus, if 20 ms of data is remaining when compensation begins, the receiver 5 will play out data for 30 ms before suffering data starvation, which is ample time to receive a subsequent packet.
Alternative embodiments and variations of the invention are possible.
The preferred embodiment sets forth one example of specific weighting factors and sub packet sizes. Variation of these parameters may yield better results for specific applications as packet size, sample size, sample rate and type of audio vary according to system architecture. Additionally, the method of smoothing can vary according to the rate of packet loss. For example, in some applications packet loss may be quite infrequent so all that may be necessary is to interpolate one sub packet per packet buffer in order to provide adequate packet loss compensation.
Furthermore, whereas the principle usage of the packet loss compensation scheme of the present invention is in Voice over IP architectures (VoIP)�that is, in traditional telephony applications and services, the principles of the invention may also be applied to applications where other audio sources (such as music) are sent across the IP network 3. Thus, the general application of the invention is to compensate for packet loss in audio sent over IP networks, where the audio is destined for the human ear to receive and interpret.
All such alternatives and variations are believed to be within the sphere and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims appended hereto.

I have a confession. Back in high school, I satisfied my required gym credit by taking a nutrition class -- online. With online education becoming more prevalent these days, some states in the U.S. allow students to satisfy high school physical education requirements through online courses. Making gym class virtual may seem ironic in an era when more than one in three American children and teens are overweight or obese.

Non-profit investigative newsroom ProPublica has released an interactive tool that makes it easy for people to compare schools to others in their district, state or the U.S. To create the tool, the newsroom analyzed data from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights, which tracks Advanced Placement, gifted and talented programs, and advanced math and science classes.
You want to meet Justin Bieber? Well, you're going to have to do some good first. The Canadian pop prince has teamed up with Pencils of Promise to launch Schools 4 All, a project to provide an education to some 75 million children across the world who don't have access to it. The site has set up a platform -- much like Crowdrise -- where anyone can set up a personal fundraising page to build a school in a developing country.
The word "Facebook," so ubiquitous across the world, is enough to make any educator uneasy. When I was teaching at an elementary school in New York, the topic of social media came up from time to time. And generally when it did, it was about how teachers were being fired for posting too much information or were receiving disciplinary action for an ill-advised status update.
A new social network that aims to be a Facebook alternative for children between the ages of 8 and 13 is launching on Tuesday. Schools, brands and investors are already on board. The network, Everloop, operates much like Facebook (virtual currency, photo albums and games included), but requires verified parental permission to join.

A year after seventh grade teacher Elizabeth Delmatoff started a pilot social media program in her Portland, Oregon classroom, 20% of students school-wide were completing extra assignments for no credit, grades had gone up more than 50%, and chronic absenteeism was reduced by more than a third. For the first time in its history, the school met its adequate yearly progress goal for absenteeism.
Today, the entire public school system of Oregon will embrace Google Apps. 400,000 Students, teachers, and administrators will have access to a common e-mail and chat system, cloud-based collaboration tools, and a robust multimedia streaming service. Traditionally, statewide adoptions of any kind in education are hotly contested, with the most minute details up for extended debate. But the case for Google Apps in education is compelling in many ways.
Japanese elementary and high school students are sure to make their American counterparts jealous this coming school year, when the popular Nintendo DS video game handheld makes its way into the classroom. Of course, the focus of using the device will be on education and learning as opposed to straight-up gaming, but as soon as teacher's head is turned we imagine a few of the wee tots will be surreptitiously firing up Mario Kart.
