Global IP Sound Acoustic Echo Technology Used in Newly Released Logitech ViewPort AV 100.SAN FRANCISCO -- Global IP Sound (GIPS GIPS - /gips/ or /jips/ [Analogy with MIPS] Giga-Instructions per Second (or possibly "Gillions of Instructions per Second"; see gillion). In 1991, this was used of only a handful of highly parallel machines and one sequential processor built with Josephson devices. ), a leading provider of embedded voice-processing solutions, has announced that Logitech, the world's leading manufacturer of webcams, has integrated GIPS Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1. AEC - a former executive agency (from 1946 to 1974) that was responsible for research into atomic energy and its peacetime uses in the United States Atomic Energy Commission ) technology into the Logitech(R) ViewPort (1) In the Macintosh, the entire scrollable region of data that is viewed through a window.

GIPS AEC delivers the highest possible voice quality with an adaptive filter, non-linear processor (NLP (Natural Language Processing) The capability of understanding human language. If the language is spoken, voice recognition plays an important role in converting the sounds to individual words. Then, natural language processing figures out what the words mean. ), comfort noise generator and control system. The module can handle both narrowband and wideband speech. GIPS AEC can be readily implemented on either digital signal processors (DSPs) or general purpose processors and conforms to International Telecommunications Union See ITU.
