A method is provided for extending the frequency band of an audio signal during a decoding or improvement process. The method includes obtaining the decoded signal in a first frequency band, referred to as a low band. Tonal components and a surround signal are extracted from the signal from the low-band signal, and the tonal components and the surround signal are combined by adaptive mixing using energy-level control factors to obtain an audio signal, referred to as a combined signal. The low-band decoded signal before the extraction step or the combined signal after the combination step are extended over at least one second frequency band which is higher than the first frequency band. Also proved are a frequency-band extension device which implements the described method and a decoder including a device of this type.

Elements for hand printing designs and patterns include cone pin blocks, flat pin blocks, and multisided sequence stamps. A cone pin block generally has a circular cross-section and is rolled in order to make symmetrical, circular or partial-circle designs. Flat pin blocks have a flat surface. The pin blocks have pins extending out of the cone surface or the flat surface. Flexible inking cord material is threaded between the pins in a chosen pattern. The inking material collects liquid ink by absorption or surface adhesion, which is transferred to a base by rolling or stamping.
