A voice synthesis system for interactive voice services comprises a voice server connected to a packet network dispensing a voice service to a user terminal by executing a service file associated with the voice service. An HTTP client in the voice server transmits a request containing a text to be synthesized during execution of the service file. The service file includes an address designating a resource in a voice synthesis server connected to the packet network and a command responsive to the audio format for commanding the transmitting of the request to the voice synthesis server. An HTTP server in the voice synthesis server transmits to the voice server an audio response including the text that has been synthesized by the voice synthesis server independently of the voice server.

Systems and methods described herein are directed to solutions for Network on Chip (NoC) interconnects that supports reconfigurability to support a variety of different traffic profiles each having different sets of traffic flows after the NoC is designed and deployed in a SoC. Reconfiguration of the NoC to map and load a new traffic profile or change the currently mapped traffic profile is performed by an external optimization module which maps various transactions of a given traffic profile to the NoC and reconfigure the NoC hardware by loading the computed mapping information. As part of the mapping process, load balancing between NoC layers may be performed by automatically assigning the transactions in the traffic profile to be routed over certain NoC layers and channels, automatically determining the routes based on the bandwidth requirements of the transaction. The deadlock avoidance and isolation properties of various transactions are maintained during the mapping.

This invention provides a means of loading, processing and conditioning raw production gas, production of CGL, storage, transport, and delivery of pipeline quality natural gas or fractionated products to market. The CGL transport vessel utilizes a pipe based containment system to hold more densely packed constituents of natural gas held within a light hydrocarbon solvent than it is possible to attain for natural gas alone under such conditions. The containment system is supported by process systems for loading and transporting the natural gas as a liquid and unloading the CGL from the containment system and then offloading it in the gaseous state. The system can also be utilized for the selective storage and transport of NGLs to provide a total service package for the movement of natural gas and associated gas production. The mode of storage is suited for both marine and land transportation and configured in modular form to suit a particular application and / or scale of operation.

An analysis and synthesis system for sound is provided that can independently modify characteristics of audio signals such as pitch, duration, and timbre. High-quality pitch-scaling and time-scaling are achieved by using a technique for sinusoidal phase compensation adapted to a sinusoidal representation. Such signal modification systems can avoid the usual problems associated with interpolation-based re-sampling so that the pitch-scaling factor and the time-scaling factor can be varied independently, arbitrarily, and continuously. In the context of voice modification, the sinusoidal representation provides a means with which to separate the acoustic contributions of the vocal excitation and the vocal tract, which can enable independent timbre modification of the voice by altering only the vocal tract contributions. The system can be applied to efficiently encode the pitch in sinusoidal models by compensating for pitch quantization errors. The system can also be applied to non-speech signals such as music.
