Abstract: Electrochemical biosensor test strip, fabrication method thereof and electrochemical biosensor are disclosed. The electrochemical biosensor test strip is fabricated by cutting a groove in a first insulation base in the breadth direction, forming two electrodes parallel to length direction on the first insulation base by sputtering using shadow mask, fixing a reaction material comprising an enzyme which reacts an analyte and generates current corresponding to the concentration of analyte across the two electrodes on the groove of the insulation base, and affixing a cover to the first insulation base. The groove of the first insulation base and the cover make a capillary at the position where the reaction material is fixed. The fabrication method can lower the cost for fabricating the test strip by forming thin electrodes.

Abstract: A real-time system incorporating speech recognition and linguistic processing for recognizing a spoken query by a user and distributed between client and server, is disclosed. The system accepts user's queries in the form of speech at the client where minimal processing extracts a sufficient number of acoustic speech vectors representing the utterance. These vectors are sent via a communications channel to the server where additional acoustic vectors are derived. Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), and appropriate grammars and dictionaries conditioned by the selections made by the user, the speech representing the user's query is fully decoded into text (or some other suitable form) at the server. This text corresponding to the user's query is then simultaneously sent to a natural language engine and a database processor where optimized SQL statements are constructed for a full-text search from a database for a recordset of several stored questions that best matches the user's query. Further processing in the natural language engine narrows the search to a single stored question. The answer corresponding to this single stored question is next retrieved from the file path and sent to the client in compressed form. At the client, the answer to the user's query is articulated to the user using a text-to-speech engine in his or her native natural language. The system requires no training and can operate in several natural languages.</PTEXT>

Abstract: A method of a continuous speech recognition system is given for discriminatively training hidden Markov for a system recognition vocabulary. An input word phrase is converted into a sequence of representative frames. A correct state sequence alignment with the sequence of representative frames is determined, the correct state sequence alignment corresponding to models of words in the input word phrase. A plurality of incorrect recognition hypotheses is determined representing words in the recognition vocabulary that do not correspond to the input word phrase, each hypothesis being a state sequence based on the word models in the acoustic model database. A correct segment of the correct word model state sequence alignment is selected for discriminative training. A frame segment of frames in the sequence of representative frames is determined that corresponds to the correct segment. An incorrect segment of a state sequence in an incorrect recognition hypothesis is selected, the incorrect segment corresponding to the frame segment. A discriminative adjustment is performed on selected states in the correct segment and the corresponding states in the incorrect segment.

Abstract: There is provided a server apparatus according to which a client apparatus can become aware of recommended reproducing resource settings, and hence an environment enabling optimum reproduction can easily be obtained even if a user has little knowledge. The client apparatus inspects a state of setting of reproducing resources, which is a reproduction environment of the client apparatus, creates reproduction environment setting information, and sends the reproduction environment setting information to the server apparatus along with a user ID. The server apparatus registers the received reproduction environment setting information and user ID, and a contents type suited to the reproduction environment setting information in a management database such that the reproduction environment setting information, the user ID and the contents type correspond to one another, and furthermore acquires, from an MSG table, message data MSG, which is recommendation information, for each reproducing resource determined by the received reproduction environment setting information, and sends this message data MSG back to the client apparatus.

Abstract: Memory states of a multi-bit memory cell are demarcated by generating read reference signals having levels that constitute boundaries of the memory states. The read reference signals are dependent upon the levels of programming reference signals used for controlling the programming of the memory cell. The memory cell can thus be programmed without reading out its memory state during the programming process, with programming margins being assured by the dependence of the read reference signals on the programming reference signals. Both pets of reference signals may be generated by reference cells which track variations in the operating characteristics of the memory cell with changes in conditions, such as temperature and system voltages, to enhance the reliability of memory programming and readout.

Abstract: A method for genetic mapping in eukaryotic organisms is described, comprising: multiple artificial DNA oligonucleotides being introduced in neutral positions into the genome of a single strain of the organism to create an artificially marked strain. This strain contains many specific markers, either composed solely of the inserted oligonucleotides or composed of inserted oligonucleotide(s) and part of the adjacent DNA sequence. The artificially marked strain is crossed with another strain displaying one or more distinct traits. The DNA of segregants from the cross displaying a specific trait is pooled and the presence of the artificial markers in the pooled DNA is detected. The genetic map position of all genes involved in establishing the trait is indicated by a drop in signal intensity for the artificial markers located closest to these genes. The method allows the use of isogenic strains for genetic mapping. It also allows to accumulate large numbers of mutations in a single strain until a particular phenotype is generated and subsequently map the mutation(s) relevant for the phenotype of interest. In a further embodiment large numbers of mutations are accumulated in the artificially marked strain until a phenotype of interest is obtained, the multiply mutated artificially marked strain is then crossed with a wild type strain, the DNA of all segregants displaying the wild type phenotype is pooled and the presence of the artificial markers is detected. The genetic map position of all genes required to restore the wild type phenotype is indicated by a drop in signal intensity for the artificial markers located closest to the position of these genes. In a further embodiment of the invention a restriction site for a rare restriction enzyme is added to the artificial marker, which allows to cut the genomic DNA in different fragments each containing a specific tag. These fragments are introduced into a vector to construct a genomic library in a host organism, of which the transformants can be sorted according to the position of like fragment in the genome. After transformation of the library into a recipient strain, all the fragments can be traced with the specific tag using one of several methods available.
