The invention provides a perceptual audio signal compression system and method. One aspect of the invention described herein includes transforming the signal into a plurality of bi-orthogonal modified discrete cosine transform (BMDCT) frequency coefficients using a bi-orthogonal modified discrete cosine transform; quantizing the BMDCT frequency coefficients to produce a set of integer numbers which represent the BMDCT frequency coefficients; and encoding the set of integer numbers to lower the number of bits required to represent the BMDCT frequency coefficients.

A method for controlling communication on a bus connecting a first processor, a second processor, and a device. The method transmits a first control signal from the first processor to the second processor via a control signal line, causing a bus connection of the second processor to enter a high-impedance state, transfers data between the device and the first processor via the bus, then setting a bus connection of the first processor to the high-impedance state, and transmits a second control signal from the first processor to the second processor via the control signal line, causing the bus connection of the second processor to exit the high-impedance state.

An apparatus for dispensing blocks in a fluid over a substrate. The apparatus includes a first tube having a first end and a second end. A compression device is coupled to the first tube. A second tube is connected to the first tube to deliver a slurry having blocks to the first tube. The compression device pulsates at least one block in the slurry which is flowing through a portion of the first tube.

Apparatuses and methods for high speed bonding for an RFID device are provided. A first substrate includes an antenna and is coupled to a strap assembly by an adhesive material. The adhesive material is substantially inert thermally for a predetermined temperature range, or it otherwise lacks a heat flow variation greater than 0. 05 W/g for the predetermined temperature range. Such an adhesive material provides a reliable bond. In a specific embodiment, the predetermined temperature range is about 30 Celsius to about 85 Celsius. In an alternative embodiment, the adhesive material can be exposed to water or steam to reduce its heat flow variation to less than 0. 05 W/g for the temperature range.

The present invention relates to devices and methods for processing data defining a still image slide show with background audio. An example system may include an optical disk player (e.g., DVD player) configured to read video and audio data from one or more storage media (e.g., DVD, compact flash device and/or hard disk). An example method may include presenting output signals containing data descriptive of a slide show with background audio in a mode or configuration selected by a user.

Apparatuses and methods for improved fluidic self assembly (FSA). An apparatus performing an improved FSA method can include one or more of a block deposition and clearing section, a drying section, a lamination section and an inspection section. In a specific embodiment, each of these sections are connected in series but distinctly separate. The deposition and clearing section can additionally include dispenser nozzles, rolling pins, and a cross-flow jet pump nozzle, as well as other components.
