This invention relates in general to noise reduction in general, and particularly to noise reduction of an ADPCM signal.
Adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) is a digital coding scheme that has been adopted by the International Telecommunication Union specification G.721. The 32 Kbit/s ADPCM standard is a digital coding scheme in which a hexadecimal or four-bit binary code is utilized. The hexadecimal numbers represent signed magnitudes, either positive or negative, which correspond to the variation from the previous signal level. In effect, it is a quantitized difference signal in logarithmic domain. This differs from pulse code modulation (PCM) in which the coding is representative of the current signal level, independent of the previous value. The ADPCM value, therefore, meaning only in reference to the previous value. An ADPCM signal is subject to corruption, such as that which can occur on an RF transmission path.
Corrupted data can be determined in a number of ways, such as by phase error, illegal words, or a combination thereof. One known approach to muting noise is to substitute a zero magnitude change symbol, which in ADCPM is a hexadecimal "F," for the corrupted data. This approach will cause audio muting while the zero magnitude variation or hexadecimal "F" condition is maintained, but this approach introduces a transient type noise click subsequent in the decoded ADCPM signal. This is illustrated in an article entitled "Improved ADCPM Voice Transmission Employing Click Noise Detection Scheme for TDMA-TDD Systems," published in PIMRC '93, Fourth International Symposium on Personal Indoor, and Mobile Radio Communications, PACIFICO YOKOHAMA, Yokohama, Japan, Sep. 8-11, 1993. This particular article, which is incorporated herein by reference, proposes a noise suppression scheme to avoid this problem. Basically, the ADPCM signal data is converted to PCM and then the noise cancellation is accomplished by modifying the PCM signal. While this approach can be effectively utilized, it requires conversion of the signal to PCM from ADPCM. In some system applications, it may be desired to maintain the ADPCM signal for further transmission. Were this approach utilized, it would be necessary to first decode the ADPCM signal to a PCM signal, operate the noise suppression routine, and then re-encode the noise suppressed PCM signal to an ADPCM format prior to transmission. Such an approach obviously adds expense and complexity to a system. It would be desirable to noise cancel an ADPCM signal without decoding of the ADPCM signal and without introducing the severe click noises caused by substituting the hexadecimal "F" or zero magnitude change known approach.
Briefly, according to the invention, there is provided a method for suppressing noise in an ADPCM signal which operates by modification of the ADPCM receive data. When noise is detected, the magnitude of the ADPCM information is modified.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a radio system utilizing the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a portion of the radio system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a radio port of FIG. 1.
Referring now to the character references of the drawings, and first to FIG. 1, it will be understood that a two-way radio communication system such as a CT2 telephone system, is illustrated. In this system, a plurality of radios 10 can be utilized to communicate via the CT2 system. This system 32 Kbit/s ADPCM data transmissions occur between the radios 10 and any of a number of radio ports 11. The radio ports 11 are each connected to a radio port control unit, in this case 12, 13, and 14, which in turn, can communicate with the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 15. An access/mobility manager 16 is used to control each of the radio ports 12, 13, and 14, and the radio ports 12, 13, and 14 have T1 communication paths therebetween.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a more detailed diagram shows two radio ports 11 connected to a typical radio port control unit, in this case 14, and the access/mobility manager 16 which can also be called a radio access system controller. Within the radio port control unit 14, individual radio port lines can be switched to various ADPCM transcoders and then interfaced via a T1 line to the public switched telephone network 15. As illustrated, it is only necessary to transcode or, in this case, decode, ADPCM information that is being connected to the public switched telephone network as 64 Kbit/s PCM. When the ADPCM information being received at one radio ports 11 is to be transmitted to a radio 10 at another radio port 11, the ADPCM data can be transferred to another radio port 11 on the radio port control unit 14, or to one of the other radio port control units 12 and 13 via a T1 line as ADPCM data. In such a scheme, it is necessary that the ADPCM audio mitigation or noise suppression be included, since the information does not exist as PCM until it has been decoded in the radio port control unit prior to interface to the PSTN 15.
The basic block diagram of a radio port 11 is illustrated in FIG. 3. It includes an antenna 20 that interfaces to a radio transceiver portion 21. The received data is demodulated and applied to a clock recovery and data formatting portion 22. The received data is also analyzed by a signal quality detection circuit 23 for phase error or the presence of illegal data. The formatted ADPCM data is applied to the ADPCM audio mitigation circuit 24 which can be a simple digital circuit or, if desired, a processor performing the audio mitigation of this invention. If the signal quality indication from the signal quality detection circuit 23 indicates noise on the signal, the ADPCM formatted data is modified in accordance with one of the preferred approaches below. When the signal quality if sufficient, the formatted ADPCM is merely passed through the ADPCM audio mitigation circuit 24.
As previously noted, a hexadecimal value of "F" corresponds to a zero magnitude differential. It should be noted that the hexadecimal value "zero" is not a valid ADPCM encoded nibble. If hexadecimal values "1" through "7" represent positive differentials from the predicted values, then hexadecimal values "8" through "E" represent negative differentials from the predicted values. In the preferred embodiment, all non-zero (hexadecimal "F" being zero) predicted differential values are adjusted to a predetermined value. In this case, all received hexadecimal values from "1"through "7" are replaced by hexadecimal "3" and the received hexadecimal values from "8" through "E" are replaced by hexadecimal "C," so that the received sequence, 21231FECAE1135D, would be modified to the series 33333FCCCC33333C.
In a second approach, the same ADPCM data, 21231FECAE1135D, would be modified by reducing the magnitude by one for both the positive and negative values. This is accomplished by subtracting one from the positive hexadecimal values which are values hexadecimal "1" through hexadecimal "7", and by increasing by 1 the negative hexadecimal values which are hexadecimal "8" through hexadecimal "E." Where the hexadecimal "1" is present, which represents the smallest positive differential, the hexadecimal "1" is converted to the hexadecimal value which corresponds to a zero variation, which is hexadecimal "F". The resulting mitigated audio would be hexadecimal values 1F12FFFDBFFF24E. Both of these approaches provide significant noise burst reduction over the prior approach of zeroing or "converting to hexadecimal F" all corrupted data. Changing the magnitude of received ADPCM data either to a predetermined constant magnitude or a reduced magnitude compared to that of the received noisy signal, improved audio output quality is obtained. This approach simplifies system construction, system issues and costs, since the noise suppression can be applied directly to the ADPCM data.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be dear that the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Q & A Library
Marijuana for Breast Cancer Treatment?
What is it about marijuana that slows breast cancer spread? I heard about this, but it sounds far-fetched. Is there anything to it?
Answer (Published 1/3/2008)
You probably heard about a study from California showing that a substance in marijuana appears to turn off the activity of a gene that promotes the spread of breast cancer cells. But don't assume that you can get enough of it from smoking marijuana to have this effect.

Start your 14-day free trial now - and start eating anti-inflammatory today!
The compound is cannabidiol (CBD). In the study at California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, CBD inhibited the activity of a gene called Id-1, which the researchers think is responsible for metastasis - the process by which cancer cells spread from the original tumor to other sites in the body. Id-1 genes are involved in development of the human embryo but then go on "hold" and stay that way unless cancer develops. Then, they can become active and trigger the spread of the disease.
In addition to its ability to block the activity of Id-1 genes, the marijuana compound is said to be far less toxic than the drugs now used for cancer treatment, and therefore may be better tolerated than chemotherapy and, perhaps, radiation therapy. And, no, it doesn't have the psychoactive effects of marijuana itself: if it is ever used on patients, they won't get high.
Much more research remains to be done before CBD could be used to treat breast cancer. So far, studies have been done only in the lab. CBD has yet to be tested against any type of animal or human breast cancer. While these findings are interesting, they're very preliminary.

My husband and I stayed her June 20-22. A whole weekend in the city! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in one if the balcony suites on the 3rd floor. It was perfect! It took me a little while to get the jacuzzi tub working. I would have to press the button a few times before it really started blowing. But once I got it to work, it was amazing on my sore muscles from walking all day. Eric has to be the most helpful staff person! He told us about a parking spot right infront if the hotel, so that meant we had free parking all weekend! And he also gave me a bucket to carry ice upstairs instead of me using the tiny ice bucket. Overall, our stay was wonderful! We'll definitely stay again! It's in the perfect location! Right in the middle if everything! I recommend it to everyone!

What about their retail customers? What's going on here? Is Lightsquared approved? Or did Sprint just buyout CLWR and is offering the service to other carriers like Lightsquared and others?
The search has to be on. I'm a slow learner and even I can see Hesse's vision requires a seeing-eye dog. The key stat: Sprint is down 80% and going lower with Dan running the place... The Network Vision debacle just made it impossible for even the most casual observer not to notice the emperor has no clothes.
Are they banking on this-http://www.lightsquared.com/press-room/press-releases/lightsquared-and-javad-gnss-present-findings-of-interference-solution-at-pnt-advisory-board-meeting/
... and was always defined as such. GPS never had a reason to believe that adjacent satellite spectrum would ever pose an interferance problem.Lightsquared's honcho, Phil Falcone, bought that spectrum for 1/10 what he would have paid for legitimate wireless spectrum then set about paying off officials with the express intent of changing the rules and bullying his way past GPS to use that spectrum for terrestrial wireless even though the ENTIRE GPS INDUSTRY built their systems on the legitimate assumption that a neighboring, satellite spectrum band would never be blasting out signals at thousands of times more power than what it was designed for.I think Falcone's Lightsquared venture should be shut down on the basis of principle ALONE... the biggest problem with America is people like him who use political activism for personal gain.S
Lightsquared is part of sprints network vision to match up to the new LTE 4g network Dan announced sprint will build.

AbstractLongwave infrared (LWIR, 8-12µm) focal plane arrays (FPAs) play an important role in hyperspectral chemical and biological (CB) sensing and spectral imaging. Existing thermal detectors are unable to meet the high sensitivity and fast response requirements of many hyperspectral chemical and biological sensing applications. FPAs based on photon excited electron generation process can fulfill the speed and sensitivity requirements. However, they show high noise, and thus need to be cooled down to<80 K to reduce the noise. The requirement for cryogenic cooling systems adds cost, power consumption and reliability issues, thereby making it unsuitable for standoff sensing and detections. In SBIR phase I research, we have developed a new low noise LWIR photodetector, demonstrated large photoresonsivity, high photodetectivity and its chemical sensing and imaging capability. Motivated by the Phase I feasibility and advantages demonstration, In Phase II, we will optimize the LWIR photodetector and FPA technology specifically for long distance standoff CB molecule and aerosol detection and spectral sensing and mapping. A prototype of the LWIR FPA will be developed and packaged with integrated detector dewar cryocooler assembly (IDDCA) and assess interface compatibility with Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC)'s existing CB molecule and aerosol spectral sensing system.

A passively driven shielding configuration for a planar transformer for high frequency switched mode applications is presented. The shielding configuration actively counteracts the problematic conversion of differential mode signals to common mode. This leads to very low levels of primary to secondary capacitive coupling, which is normally difficult to avoid in a planar transformer. The shielding configuration is described, analysed and shown to operate effectively in an experimental system.

1. Introduction
[2] River water typically infiltrates into streambeds and shallow alluvial aquifers. Some of this infiltrated water eventually returns to the river after relatively short subsurface flow paths defining hyporheic zones. Hyporheic flow is typically driven by pressure gradients along the sediment-water interface [Elliott and Brooks, 1997; Thibodeaux and Boyle, 1987] or at the land surface at multiple scales [Cardenas, 2008a; Poole et al., 2006]. Currents interact with bed topography to induce dynamic pressure gradients [Cardenas and Wilson, 2007b; Elliott and Brooks, 1997; Thibodeaux and Boyle, 1987] and channel geomorphology leads to hydrostatic pressure gradients [Boano et al., 2006; Cardenas, 2008a; Harvey and Bencala, 1993; Kasahara and Wondzell, 2003]. Hyporheic exchange is now recognized as an integral physical, ecological and biogeochemical component of the fluvial system from reach to network scales [Battin et al., 2008; Ensign and Doyle, 2006; Harvey and Fuller, 1998; Hill, 1996; Stanford and Ward, 1988; Stanford and Ward, 1993].
[3] Although the hyporheic zone could be considered a "hot spot" [McClain et al., 2003] because of the steep ecological and biogeochemical gradients that are present, gradients would be steeper if deep groundwater interacts more with shallow hyporheic water. This occurs in rivers gaining groundwater while actively undergoing hyporheic exchange. Hyporheic exchange has been observed in base flow–influenced rivers such as low-order mountain streams [Harvey and Bencala, 1993] but also occurs in streams losing net water, such as in semiarid areas [Dent et al., 2007; Harvey et al., 2003]. In some cases, rivers switch between gaining and losing across the seasons [Wroblicky et al., 1998] or during floods. Ambient flow of deeper groundwater away from or toward the river influences and further complicates the physics and biogeochemistry of both the hyporheic zone water and surface water. Wroblicky et al. [1998] showed how lateral hyporheic zone areas and vertical fluxes through the streambed of the Rio Calaveras in New Mexico change with the seasons; the river is gaining water during some parts of the year and loses water in other times. The water table and the irregular planform morphology of the Rio Calaveras both control where and when hyporheic zones occur. Kasahara and Hill [2007a] also showed how a remeandered channel induced lateral hyporheic exchange under both base flow and losing conditions. Counterintuitively, not just gains but also losses of net water lead to reduction of hyporheic zones induced by current–bed form interactions [Cardenas and Wilson, 2006, 2007a]. Boano et al. [2007] theoretically showed the reduction of vertical hyporheic zone fluxes and depths across a transverse section of a channel. In this case, they assumed that there is no horizontal hyporheic exchange along the banks. Cardenas and Wilson [2006, 2007d] also did not investigate the dynamics of horizontal hyporheic exchange under gaining and losing conditions. However, horizontal channel sinuosity–driven hyporheic exchange [Boano et al., 2006; Cardenas, 2008b; Peterson and Sickbert, 2006] is likely to be just as prevalent as bed form–driven exchange, particularly in sandy higher-order streams.
[4] In this paper, results of numerical simulations of sinuosity-driven lateral hyporheic exchange under both gaining and losing river conditions are presented with the goal of deepening our understanding of the dynamics of these processes which ultimately leads to prediction. Thus, the paper concludes with equations for predicting hyporheic zone flux, area and residence time under the aforementioned scenarios.

Dutch singer vows to boycott Eurovision if Moscow uses violence against gay activists
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Good on him. I only wish the rest of the performers, and UK presenter Graham Norton would do the same. Its a sad state of affairs when money, no matter how much, appeals to people more than human rights. Moscow will be more than happy to take the pink tourist money, but the authorities damm well don't deserve it if they hold us in such contempt.
Good for Gordon.
Although the Dutch song is quite abysmal so it may not even make the final.
If there are assaults then I hope other countries follow Gordon's example.
Am I not right in thinking that 100s of gay men from the UK travel each year to wherever Eurovision is being held? How can we encourage them to join the march with Peter in Moscow beforehand? Maybe Gordon could make a plea to all other performers at the dress rehearsal? Does anybody know how to contact him? It only one takes one brave soul to get a big protest off the ground. Look at what Nicholas achieved a couple of weeks ago when Mr. I-Can-Repair-Homosexuals Nicolosi visited London to spread his hatred.
How can we get this ball rolling? Peter Tatchell and this Dutch singer are already there at the helm. All that's needed now are supporters.
Well, no-one knows yet what Graham Norton may or may not do, so it's a little early to judge him. Personally I hope he does get involved because his name carries much more weight than Peter Tatchell, much as I admire the man. Given his rep, I doubt anyone knows if the Russians will even let him into the country.
At least one couragious artist. Although Eurovision is full of gays, some rather choose to swing next to bikini ladies than doing anything at all. Im talking about Germany's entry.
wossname, ah, yes, Graham Norton is comparing the whole ridiculous evening, isn't he. Wonderful opportunity . . . but I have little faith that Graham Norton definitely would take a stand. He's the nation's "gay joker", the equivalent of the Elizabethan court-fool or jester. He might stretch to a cutting remark, but he's very much in the pay of others. And we have to remember that while having been outrageously camp for years on TV he has also scraped the bottom of the barrel with regard to humour and decent behaviour. I don't think integrity and solidarity with Russian gays and lesbians is top of HIS list.
Vince, yes you're right. Hope as I might that the hundreds of UK gay men who will be winging into Moscow for the big night would attend the pride march first, there is little chance of that happening. Being as Eurovision is now all about outrageous flashiness and trash (don't some people call it part of general "Eurotrash"?), its fans are hardly likely to be deep-thinking enough to see the importance of risking their necks in a march to help end the suffering of their 1000s of gay and lesbian brothers and sisters in Russia.
If there are incidents of Gay Bashing, its quite simple. Eurovision cancels the contest and Russia is shown up to the world as Homophobic!
Mike (7):
You're right.
The Eurovision Song Contest should be called off and so should the Russian Gay Pride Parade.
That would make a universal statement about the homophobia that has swallowed Russia more than any parade or song contest could ever do. This would not be a cowardly act, only a shrewed one.
I am sick and tired of certain countries, Russia and the UAE to name but two, who think its great to embrace certain aspects of Western Civilisisation and then pick and choose which human rights issues they do/do not approve off! Most Western Nations have now recognised that being gay is not a sin or a crime! If you want to play with the West, then kindly repect our Human Rights! You want Eurovision without the Gay element? Think again! Dubahi wants an international literature festival but bans anything they think "unislamic" Think again!
You're conusing me now, Mike.
One of the problems I believe is still plaquing the LGBT community is that we use the word 'homophobia' without knowing what it really is.
I don't know how many times I have mentioned the educational importance of a 30-40 page little book entitled 'Can Homophobia Be Cured?' written by Bruce Hilton, and nobody has made any comment on it one way or another.
Go ahead and ignore me once again.
Reading is still the best way to educate ourselves, and I don't mean reading ambiguous articles in newspapers of all stripes and colors.
Until we get a damn good idea of what homophobia is, we will continue to demonize those who are afflicted the this mental illness, and continue to think that we are perfect and pure victims of raging bigots.
That puts us on a one way street heading for a brick wall because ignorance of homophobia is every bit as dangerous as ignorance of LGBT persons.
And finally, nobody was more proud of Margaret Atwood for leaving Dubai than I was, because she has become a gre-e-e-e-at Canadian in my way of seeing things.
In fact, I'm starting to think that women will solve the world's problems better that men, who have been responsible for creating them in the first place.
Thanks Jean-Paul; I didn't call it homophobia by the way; I used the words "Human Rights" when describing these nations. Yes, I said Homophobia about a possible Eurovision boycott. Having worked against homophobia for the past 10 years AND racisim both inside and outside the police I have not heard of this booklet; but I will track it down! Agree about Margaret; well done her. People who ban or burn books are people I do not wish to be associated with either!

I want to know what your favorite sports teams are. I love the red sox and the mariners. I have never been a big fan of the tigers, but they are having such an awesome season that I find myself checking on them everyday. For basketball I like the Utah Jazz because they are my home team. For football it's the 49ers, but they haven't been very good lately. And yes, I do hate the yankees.

I booked this hotel for 1 night only. Called their 800 number to book my reservation. I called the hotel and ask if they receive my reservation because I never received an email confirmation. the hotel staff can't find my reservation in their system and asked me to call back the 800 number to make sure that it was entered in their database/system. I called back the 800# and it took a while to find my reservation because, they misspelled my last name, and they didn't verify if the email address is correct (no wonder I never got an email). Finally, after being on the phone with their agent for over 20 minutes, they found my reservation#, verified my last name, and verified my email address.
I checked in their hotel, half hour before the check in time, and Antoni from the front desk was able to checked me in early. When I got to the room (#236), it has this unpleasant smell, that I have to turn on the blower in the bathroom, turn on the fan, and open the door so fresh air can come in but didn't help that much. I was so tempt to call front desk to ask for an air freshener. Then the fire alarm went off, not just once but twice that afternoon. I went out of my room because it is so loud, and it took a while for them to have the Fire Department check the building (thank God, there's no actual fire, must be some glitch in their system or someone pulled it). I booked a room that is non-smoking, but you can tell their rooms are not far from the smoking sections. I can smell someone smoking from my room.
I noticed that there's no shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom, only soap. I would suggest to have them replace the towels, it feels rough on the skin, coz I guess the towels are old. and it doesn't have that fresh smell. the mattress needs to be upgraded, it's hard on the back, you can feel the springs. Just stayed here for couple of hours, didn't even spend the night.

Coffee and conservation project launches in Puerto Rico

Cafiesencia, an NGO based in Maricao, Puerto Rico, has launched a project aimed at coffee growers and others living and working in and around the forests of the Maricao and Susúa Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA). The CAFEiCANTO project provides them with training in sustainable agriculture, shade-grown coffee, water conservation and bird monitoring and reporting.
The forests are home to the globally threatened Puerto Rican Nightjar Caprimulgus noctitherus and Elfin-woods Warbler Setophaga angelae, and 18 restricted-range species including the Puerto Rican Tody Todus mexicanus. They are also important for populations of many Neotropical migratory birds. The IBA is also recognized as a Key Biodiversity Area because of its importance for plants, bats, reptiles and amphibians.
Cafiesencia became the custodian of the Maricao and Susúa IBA after signing an agreement with the Puerto Rican Ornithological Society (SOPI, BirdLife in Puerto Rico) to promote economic sustainability and biodiversity conservation through the production of "Ecological Shade-grown Coffee".
SOPI supports the production and marketing of shade-grown coffee as it represents an important means of conserving birds (through the maintenance of the shade-providing canopy trees), while at the same time securing a premium price and improving the livelihoods of the farmers.
The logo of the CAFEiCANTO project features the Elfin-woods Warbler: "in harmony with coffee". Cafiesencia is implementing the project under a Cooperative Agreement with the USDA Forest Service.
"Being custodians of the IBA, we saw a need to educate the surrounding farming communities of the forests, to create awareness of bird populations, and how they can add ecological and touristic value to the farms", explains Cafiesencia's Executive Director, Lisette Fas Quiñones. The CAFEiCANTO project provides the opportunity for farms to be evaluated for agro/eco-tourism potential.
Collaborators on the project include the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, College of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, and the Fish and Wildlife Service of the United States.

Thu Jun 14 2007 (Updated 06/16/07)Iraq on edge following second bombing of Al-Askariya mosque
Thu Jun 14 2007 (Updated 06/16/07)Al-Askariya mosque bombed again
On June 12th, the minarets of the Al-Askariya mosque in Samarra, one of the most revered shrines of Shiite Islam, were reduced to rubble. The mosque was supposed to be one of the most carefully defended locations in Iraq due to its religious significance to Shiites and the violence that followed the bombing of its golden dome on February 22, 2006. The Sadr Bloc in parliament is now threatening to suspend their participation in legislation in protest against the failure to rebuild and protect the Askariya shrine. The Sadrists are blaming "the hidden hand of the Occupation" for the bombing. Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani called for "self-discipline" and "refusal to target innocents in reprisal", but there appear to have been Sunni-Shiite clashes at mosques in the southern port city of Basra and some Sunni mosques were attacked elsewhere .

Reddit Ask Me Anything sessions (AMAs) can be somewhat of a mixed bag. Sometimes the celebrities invited to do a session spend the entire time focused on their latest project while crudely sidestepping the questions that matter most to the audience; other times they decide to give in to their fandoms and subsequently break the Internet.

my wife love to fuck me
Now that she has you stretched a bit. I want to fuck and breed your hot pussy. I also want to fuck and breed your sexy wife.
Hi! My *****-friend and I would like to use a strapon, too. We look for all information about it we can get. I (man) also like feet. Do you know a video with strapon taken from side-/backwards to see the feet of the woman? Maybe she puts one of her feet on his head, too? I think it is a very funny position :-))
I loved watching her stroking your beautiful cock while she fucked you so wonderfully.
mmm das geil zeg ze mag mij ook wel eens doen ;-)
That was great, fuck him some more! Thanks for sharing.
