Abstract From the Canadian patent

Harmonics coefficients are estimated in primary coefficients of an orthogonal transform of a speech input signal or a music input signal by using a pitch frequency extracted from the input signal and are quantized into a harmonics code vector. Residue coefficients are calculated by removing the harmonics coefficients from the primary coefficients and quantized into residue code vectors.and gain code vectors. It is possible to search harmonics excitation pulses at the harmonics locations for harmonics quantization into the harmonics code vector. On the other hand it is, possible to estimate the harmonics coefficients or excitation pulses by using quantized LSP parameters and to calculate …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 20, 1996 and granted March 6, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 20, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 20, 2018.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
