Abstract:
A signal resampler carries out a time domain interpolation of an input signal for compensating for frequency offset, such as found in an ADSL system. A sample selector interpolator carries out part of the interpolation and a second, e.g. polynomial interpolator carries out the rest of the interpolation. The time interval between samples being interpolated, can be effectively divided between a sample selector interpolator and a small second, e.g. polynomial interpolator. The complexity of the second, e.g. polynomial interpolator can be reduced or its accuracy increased if it is effectively interpolating over a much smaller time interval. The sample selector interpolator can be an oversampling arrangement, and enable the order of the second, e.g. polynomial interpolator to be reduced. Selected ones of the oversampled samples are fed to the second, e.g. polynomial interpolator to keep the operating frequency lower. A chain of upsamplers can be used to generate the oversampled samples.

The invention relates to a CIC hearing aid (30) for operation within an ear canal (10) of a user, comprising a lateral module (32), a medial module (34) and a flexible joint assembly (36) connecting the medial end (38) of the lateral module and the lateral end (40) of the medial module in such a manner that the lateral module and the medial module are movable relative to each other in order to follow the shape of the ear canal, wherein the flexible joint assembly is adapted to removably receive an axially extending guide element (68) for temporarily stiffening the flexible joint assembly with regard to bending and/or axial motions when the hearing aid is pushed into the ear canal, and wherein the guide element is adapted to be removed at least from a medial portion (66) of the flexible joint assembly after insertion of the hearing aid.
Abstract:
A method is provided for synchronizing an electric machine with an electric grid. The method includes synchronizing the frequency of a generator with a frequency of the grid, and regulating the voltage of the generator towards the voltage of the grid, by connecting the generator to the grid when the voltage of the generator reaches a first voltage value lower than the grid voltage. The present disclosure also provides arrangements of an electric generator and an electric grid.

Abstract:
There is disclosed a multi-carrier transceiver system for use in echocancellation. The transceiver system is arranged to generate from input data (1) a multicarrier transmit signal (u) comprising a plurality of multicarrier data blocks. The transceiver system also has a multi-carrier signal receiver responsive to an input multi-carrier receive signal (Yi) received from a remote signal transmitter. An echo canceller (2000) is arranged to generate from a pair of multi-carrier data blocks (u) a set of frequency-domain echo parameters (W) for use in generating an echo signal, (Y), to generate the echo signal using the frequency-domain echo parameters (W), and to input the echo signal (Y) to the multi-carrier signal receiver for use in generating an echo-cancelled receive signal (Ei) from the input receive signal (Yi) and the echo signal (Y).
