Patent EP-1290678-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HARIHARAN RAMALINGAM
IPC: G10L15/30
Filed: 2001-05-02
Abstract: A method and system for distributed speech recognition in a communications network which includes at least one speech processing server coupled to a plurality of communication terminals, wherein a front-end device residing at each terminal is used to extract an amount of speech features from voice signals and a back-end device residing at the server to recognize words from the extracted features. The front-end device is configurable so that the amount of speech features can be adjusted based on the prevailing conditions that affect the speech processing. At the server side, a traffic monitoring device is used to determine how many users are accessing the back-end recognizer so that the amount of extracted features can be increased when the channel traffic is light and reduced when the traffic is heavy.

Abstract: Un disque de frein (10) doté d'un moyeu fixé axialement (15) et d'au moins un disque de frein coulissant (12, 14), comprend des moyens élastiques (26) agissant entre le disque (12, 14) et le moyeu (15), de manière que certains aspects du mouvement du disque de frein (12, 14) soient modulés pendant l'utilisation de ce dernier. Malgré le différentiel thermique (A) apparaissant pendant l'utilisation, entre le disque de frein (12, 14) et le moyeu central (14), dû à la génération de chaleur localisée (E) du frein d'automobile du type par points (10) et les différences de masse et de capacité thermique entre le moyeu (15) et le disque (12, 14), le moyeu permet un montage plus satisfaisant, et un moyen élastique (26) agissant entre le disque (12, 14) et le moyeu pour commander la dynamique du disque, est monté sur le disque (12, 14). Ainsi, la sollicitation élastique est indépendante de la position du disque et la relation du disque (12, 14) avec un autre disque (le cas échéant), le montage est simplifié et le piégeage de la poussière est supprimé.

Abstract: A system for extracting a signal component from an output signal of a dynamic system. The system comprises a state observer and a corrector filter. The state observer is adapted to track a signal component that represents dominant dynamics in the output signal of the dynamic system and provide an estimation signal representing an estimated signal component in the output signal of the dynamic system. The corrector filter is adapted to compensate for a mismatch between the estimation signal and the actual signal component that represents the dominant dynamics in the output signal. A combination of the estimation signal with an output signal of the corrector filter can provide a synthesized signal including the signal component that represents the dominant dynamics in the output signal.

Abstract: For producing a granulated intermediate product which consists of a fine-particle thermoplastic or thermoelastic polymer and substantially inert fillers for further processing into plastic shaped bodies through thermoplastic processing methods it is proposed to mix the polymer in the form of powder or particles with the fillers and compact the powder mixture without plastification of the polymer exclusively under mechanical pressure into pourable agglomerates with larger grain size. Such an agglomerate can be processed into shaped bodies in the same manner as a conventional plastic granulated material, wherein thermal damage to the fillers and the molecular structure of the polymer is reliably prevented during production of the intermediate product and extremely high fill fractions can be achieved.

Abstract: Progressive I-slice refreshed MPEG data streams are transcoded to I-frame based MPEG data streams to enable trick play modes on a television appliance, such as pause, scan forward, scan backward, jump, or still frame displays for use, e.g., in film indexing (chapters). A progressive I-slice refreshed MPEG data stream 10 having I-slices distributed over multiple P-frames is received by a television appliance 300 . The P-frames are decoded at decoder 220 to recover the I-slices which make up a complete I-frame. The recovered I-slices are assembled (e.g., by processor 230 ) into a complete I-frame. The complete I-frame is encoded at an encoder 250 . A selected P-frame in the MPEG data stream is replaced with the encoded I-frame (e.g., via multiplexer 255 ) to provide an encoded I-frame based data stream 200 . The I-frame based data stream is stored (e.g., in memory 240 ) for trick play mode use.

Abstract: A nasal mask (501) is disclosed which is more comfortable for the user to wear and reduces
side leakage as compared to masks of the prior art. In a first form headgear (502) for
securing a mask to the user's face is disclosed where a section of at least one strap
securing a mask to a user's face is substantially more elastic then the remainder of the
strap. Headgear of this type allows the user to tilt the head backwards without lateral
movement of the mask. In a further aspect, headgear tensioners (506,507) are disclosed which
provides a preset fitting of the mask and ensures that a user cannot over tighten the
straps. The tensioners are recalling tension devices attached to the straps and/or mask
on either side of the mask. In another form the headgear tensioner is a strap attachment
on either side of the mask that allows the straps to move back through the attachment
to a predetermined position that provides an appropriate tension between the back of
the user's head and mask. This limits the amount of leakage from the mask when the
straps tighten or loosen as the user moves his/her head.

If a determination result indicates that the load is shortcircuited
or released, then the operation of the amplifier
is promptly interrupted.
