Inventor: BEIGI HOMAYOON SADR MOHAMMED
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 2000-03-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for retrieving audio information
based on the audio content as well as the identity of the speaker. The
results of content and speaker-based audio information retrieval methods
are combined to provide references to audio information (and indirectly to
video). A query search system retrieves information responsive to a
textual query containing a text string (one or more key words), and the
identity of a given speaker. An indexing system transcribes and indexes
the audio information to create time-stamped content index file(s) and
speaker index file(s). An audio retrieval system uses the generated
content and speaker indexes to perform query-document matching based on the
audio content and the speaker identity. Documents satisfying the
user-specified content and speaker constraints are identified by comparing
the start and end times of the document segments in both the content and
speaker domains. Documents satisfying the user-specified content and
speaker constraints are assigned a combined score that can be used in
accordance with the present invention to rank-order the identified
documents returned to the user, with the best-matched segments at the top
of the list.

Abstract: A method of controlling setup of a grinding machine
(1) wherein a grinding wheel is positionable with respect
to a workpiece (6) for grinding. The wheel and workpiece
(6) are closed (100, 110) inside a safety enclosure, and
the wheel is moved (130) towards the workpiece to achieve
contact between the parts. Contact is determined (140) by
monitoring the vibration produced by interaction between
the wheel and workpiece, and the position (X 0 , Z 0 ) of the
wheel and of the workpiece, at which the parts come into
contact, is then determined and memorized.

Abstract: A strain relief bracket (17) for use in conventional and
modular furniture applications guards against excessive bending
of copper and fiber optic cable. The device is a substantially
rigid durable bracket (17) that has an adhesive surface for
adhesion to the interior of a furniture wall (1). The device is
bi-planar, having a first section (19) in a first plane, a
raised flange section (23) in a second plane, and a second
section (21) connecting the first section (15) and raised flange
section (23). A flange (25) at the end of the first section (19)
secures the bracket (17) to the edge (27) of an opening (7) in
the furniture wall (1). Cables (3) are secured to the bracket
(17) by cable ties (39) that extend through holes (37) provided
on the raised flange section (23). The bi-planar arrangement of
the bracket (17) minimizes the bend radius of the cables (3) and
thereby strain relieves the cable (3), adapters, and connectors
in the wall (1).

Abstract: At the transmitter side, carrier waves are modulated
according to an input signal for producing relevant signal
points in a signal space diagram. The input signal is divided
into, two, first and second, data streams. The signal points
are divided into signal point groups to which data of the
first data stream are assigned. Also, data of the second
data stream are assigned to the signal points of each signal
point group. A difference in the transmission error rate
between first and second data streams is developed by
shifting the signal points to other positions in the space
diagram. At the receiver side, the first and/or second data
streams can be reconstructed from a received signal. In TV
broadcast service, a TV signal is divided by a transmitter
into, low and high, frequency band components which are
designated as a first and a second data stream respectively.
Upon receiving the TV signal, a receiver can reproduce only
the low frequency band component or both the low and high
frequency band components, depending on its capability.

Abstract: A method for generating a representation of multimedia content by first
segmenting the multimedia content spatially and temporally to extract
objects. Feature extraction is applied to the objects to produce semantic and
syntactic attributes, relations, and a containment set of content entities. The
content entities are coded to produce directed acyclic graphs of the content
entities, where each directed acyclic graph represents a particular
interpretation of the multimedia content. Attributes of each content entity are
measured and the measured attributes are assigned to each corresponding
content entity in the directed acyclic graphs to rank order the multimedia
content.

Abstract: A bond for, a metal single layer abrasive tool can be
easily chemically and electrochemically stripped from the
metal core of a recovered used tool to facilitate reuse of
the core. Relative to conventionally bonded tools, the
speed of stripping the novel bond is quick, and the
stripped core has a smooth, clean surface which needs only
minimal mechanical repair prior to reuse. The composition
of the novel bond consists essentially of copper, tin and
titanium. It can be brazed at temperatures below diamond
graphitization and is chemically compatible with diamond.
Hence, the bond is particularly useful for the manufacture
of large diameter, superabrasive metal single layer
abrasive wheels employed in the construction industry.
The bond can be applied to the cutting surface of the
abrasive tool as a uniform mixture of bronze alloy,
titanium compound and copper powders. The powders may be
mixed with a liquid vehicle and applied as a paste. The
method of brazing the bond incorporates heating the bond
composition to a temperature at most about 880°C to melt
the bronze alloy and titanium compound components, and
raising the temperature to at least about 900°C to
dissolve the copper. The bond can also include an about
10-200 µm thick barrier layer of copper coating the
cutting surface between the core and the bond composition.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for adaptive wall (high-pass)
filtering to remove low-frequency clutter in spectral
Doppler I/Q data prior to FFT processing. The I/Q data is
passed through a low-pass filter (26) which rejects the
flow frequency components above the clutter frequency
range. The total power of the low-pass filter output is
then computed (28). A system noise model (30)is used to
predict (32) the mean system noise power in the low-pass
filter output. The predicted mean noise power provides a
noise threshold to gage how much clutter power is present
in the current FFT packet. If no significant clutter is
present, then wall filter selection logic (36) will
automatically select the lowest wall filter cutoff
frequency stored in a filter coefficient LUT. If
significant clutter power is present in the FFT packet,
then the mean and variance of the clutter frequency over
the FFT packet are estimated (34) and then input into the
filter selection logic (36), which selects the most
suitable filter cutoff for the current clutter signal.

Abstract: A method for configuring computer-based information for display
includes assigning labels to pieces of information, or information units,
stored in a computer system. The labels may be used in establishing
display policy, or display criteria, for the information units. This
establishment of display criteria, preferably performed by a user of the
computer system, may result in priority sequences, grouping arrangements,
or other display preferences which can be accessed by a display controller
associated with the computer system. The display controller may take the
display criteria into account when sending information units to a display
device. A user accessing the computer system using the display device may
thereby set preferences for display of information units, including which
information units should be sent first to a display device. This ability
to set preferences may facilitate use of a display device having a
relatively small screen, such as a telephone, pager or personal digital
assistant. A method for processing configuration information for display
of computer-based information includes receiving input of labels including
display criteria information, and storing the received information in one
or more data structures or rules databases. A method for displaying
computer-based information includes detecting an instruction to display an
information unit, identifying display criteria associated with the
information unit, and forwarding the information units to a display device
according to the display criteria. Data structures or rules databases
containing display criteria information and/or program instructions
executable to carry out the methods may be transmitted over or stored upon
a carrier medium.
