An intelligent gain controller (IGC) for an on-frequency repeater implements a method for identifying a desired narrow band signal within a broadband RF signal. Thus, a candidate narrow band signal within the broadband signal is isolated. The isolated narrow band signal is then processed to detect repeating features of the narrow band signal. The detected repeating features are then analyzed to id...

A curved wavelet transform and a related image/video compression system are disclosed. The curved wavelet transform (CWT) is carried out by applying one-dimensional (1 - D) wavelet filters along curves, rather than along only horizontal and vertical directions. The image/video compression system includes a curve determination unit, a curved wavelet transform unit, a wavelet coefficient quantizatio...

A metal sheathed heater utilizes splice connections that connects ends of a heater cable with ends of a lead wire. Each splice connection has a connector that connects core wires of the lead wires and heater cable together. Heat shrinkable tubing surrounds the connector and ends of the heater cable and lead wires. An adhesive is interposed between the heat shrinkable tubing and heater cable a nd l...
