Patent EP-0628918-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SIMMONS JOHN
IPC: G06N3/00
Filed: 1994-05-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing system and method of operation, and in particular to a data processing system for creating drive signals to control an output device, wherein the drive signals created are dependent on the state of a model defined within the data processing system. The data processing system is characterised by the combination of several elements, including: a modelling application in which a model is defined, the model having a plurality of input variables associated therewith; a modification means to determine initial values for the input variables; and a model output means for generating the drive signals for the output device based on a state of the model, the state being dependent on the values of said input variables. The modification means is adapted to randomly adjust the values of the input variables within predetermined limits, and to insert the adjusted values into the modelling application to alter the state of the model. Further the data processing system is programmed to repeat a selected number of times, the generation of drive signals based on states of the model as altered by the modification means. The system also includes a comparison means for sending the successive drive signals generated by the data processing system to the output device. Once this has been done the modification means uses judgement information input by the user to determine a new set of initial values for the input variables, and the data processing system then repeats the generation of successive drive signals based on this new set of initial values.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods which employ a machine learning system to "learn" the specification for a program from a trace of an execution of the program on a set of test problems. The program is instrumented to produce the trace. Performance is improved by means of a declarative bias which expresses knowledge of the user about the program and constrains the learning system to produce only specifications which are consistent with the declarative bias. The apparatus and methods of the preferred embodiment are employed to learn specifications of views in a data base for a telephone switching system from traces produced by executing the programs which produce the views. Techniques for producing more than one specification and for dealing with views which involve conversions are also disclosed.

Abstract: A Mg source 3 is received in a vessel 1 having an opening 8, and the vessel 1 is heated at 670 °C or higher to effuse Mg vapor through the opening 8. Since the vessel 1 is filled with Mg vapor, Mg is evaporated from molten state under stable condition without fluctuations in evaporation speed. The Mg vapor is effectively consumed for vapor deposition. A reflector plate may be provided at the outlet of the opening 8, or a duct for introducing Mg vapor from the vessel to the surface of a substrate sheet may be provided. In order to evaporate Mg from stabilized molten state, operational conditions are preferably determined so as to satisfy the relationships of            W       1           /W       2            < 0.6 × (P       Mg           /V       3       )          and            W       1           /W       2            < 0.04 × P       Mg             , wherein W 1  represents the area (mm 2 ) of the opening 8, W 2  represents the evaporation surface area (mm 2 ) of the Mg source 3, P Mg  represents Mg vapor pressure (torr.) and V represents the degree of vacuum.

Abstract: An IC card reader that can output data in an audio form. The IC card reader includes a small portable case in which an IC card can be inserted. A microcontroller powered by a battery within the case reads the stored data from the IC card and encodes the read data into a series of voice commands. A voice synthesizer circuit produce a synthetic speech signal from the encoded data. An amplifier within the case is connected to the voice synthesizer circuit for amplifying the synthetic speech signal. A speaker also internal to the case is responsive to the synthetic signal for outputting an audio signal corresponding to the stored data through small holes in the front face the case. A membrane switch within the case can be closed using a push button on the front face of the case to electrically connect the microcontroller to the card. Thus, in use of the IC card reader, when the button is depressed to close the switch, the microcontroller is caused to interrogate the card so that the data stored on the card is read into the microcontroller. The microcomputer produces a synthetic speech signal that is amplified by the amplifier and output by the speaker as synthetic speech which can be heard by the user by holding the card reader with the speaker against the user's ear.
