A high-speed surgical handpiece (10) suitable for vitreoretinal surgery having a cutter (42) and actuators (36). The cutter (42) is a guillotine-type cutter activated by an array of leveraged piezoelectric actuators (30) that receive a driving signal from a driving controller. The controller can have control and display units with a plurality of input mechanisms receiving input from a user who selects a desired cutting rate and frequency for the cutter. The control unit produces a piezoelectric actuator output signal based on the inputs received. Fast cutting rates with reduced duty cycle as well as a proportional mode of operation are available, allowing slow controlled cutting action, for example proportional to depression of a foot-pedal (74). Low degrees of vibration and noise generation are produced.

Disclosed is a multi-phase power regulator that accurately senses current at a load in a lossless manner and adjusts the power supplied to the load based on the sensed current. Also disclosed is a method of calibrating a multiphase voltage regulator by applying a known calibration current at the load and determining actual current values by the difference in measured values between when the known calibration current is applied and when it is not applied. The accurate current is determined at a known temperature and accurate temperature compensation is provided by a non-linear digital technique. Each phase of the multi-phase power regulator is individually calibrated so that balanced channels provide accurate power to the load. Also disclosed is a calibration method with minimal noise generation.

An echo cancellation device (ECD) comprises an echo canceller (EC) including a transfer function estimator (EST, H) and a subtractor (ADD) and a residual echo suppression device (G, ADD2). The residual echo suppression device (G) comprises a residual echo filter (G) having an adjustable filter function (g). This filter function (g) can be adapted to either remove from the subtractor output (TNE') the spectral characteristics relating to the reception signal (RFE) and/or to emphasize in the subtractor output signal (TNE') a background signal spectral content relating to the transmission signal (TNE). A noise generation means (NGM') can be provided at the output of the adaptable filter (G) for injecting a noise process in to the filter output signal (TNE') prior to a speech coding in a speech coder (COD). The noise process masks in the filter output signal a spectral content relating to the reception signal (RFE).

Gate switches can switch an amount of attenuation, and are set in a distributed manner on distribution lines and a trunk on subscribers' house side in a CATV transmission path having a tree structure with an optical node that follows a headend being taken as a starting point. An upstream-transmission-quality monitoring unit monitors an S/N ratio of an upstream signal obtained from an upstream port having the headend connected thereto to detect a decrease in upstream transmission quality based on a degree of decrease and a continuation state of an S/N ratio. When the upstream-transmission-quality monitoring unit detects a decrease in upstream transmission quality, a noise-generation-source searching unit performs a sequential switching control over the amount of attenuation at the gate switches provided on the CATV transmission path from upstream to downstream to search for a source of generation of upstream ingress noise.

A database has a plurality of entries and a plurality of attributes common to each entry, where each entry corresponds to an individual. A query is received from a querying entity query and is passed to the database, and an answer is received in response. An amount of noise is generated and added to the answer to result in an obscured answer, and the obscured answer is returned to the querying entity. The noise is normally distributed around zero with a particular variance. The variance R may be determined in accordance with R>8 T log²(T/δ)/ε², where T is the permitted number of queries T, δ is the utter failure probability, and ε is the largest admissible increase in confidence. Thus, a level of protection of privacy is provided to each individual represented within the database. Example noise generation techniques, systems, and methods may be used for privacy preservation in such areas as k means, principal component analysis, statistical query learning models, and perceptron algorithms.
