Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method of encoding speech includes a limited search of a tree-code excitation codebook with a closed loop gain calculation for each test path under consideration. The gain calculation occurs when minimizing an error distance measurement between a synthetic signal defined by each test path being considered and the appropriate speech signal by optimizing a scaling factor of the synthetic signal. The encoding method achieves a significant reduction in computational complexity with minimal loss of performance.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 4, 1991 and granted August 14, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 4, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 4, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
