Title: Speech recognition device and navigation system
Inventor: NARITA MASAYUKI
IPC: G10L15/06
Filed: 2003-04-08
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve recognizing performance by preventing a decrease in speech recognition rate which occurs when a formal name is a compound noun.  <P>SOLUTION: A dictionary part 15a stores correspondence relation between words and IDs, and a dictionary for informal names is prepared since a formal name including a general name and a proper name is possibly called an informal name in which position of at least one of the general name and proper name is changed. A facility name which is, for example, a formal name "ABC Hotel" is possibly called an informal name "Hotel ABC", so an ID "21a" is allocated to the formal name "ABC Hotel" and an ID "21b" is allocated to the informal name "Hotel ABC". Consequently, even when either the formal name or the informal name is vocally inputted, the facility name can properly be recognized to contribute to improvement of the recognition rate.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a servo motor drive control device for effectively adapting learning control even when speed is changed.  <P>SOLUTION: Learning control is performed when carrying out processing by repeating operational instructions in a pattern cycle. A time/position converting means 12 determines the positional deviation for a prescribed position with respect to a reference position from a positional deviation ε determined by sampling, and the reference position output in synchronization with the drive of the servo motor 7. Corresponding correction data stored in a memory means (15) is added to the positional deviation, and then, the result is subjected to filtering processing by means (14) to update the correction data corresponding to the position. A position/time converting means (16) then determines correction data for the current sampling time, on the basis of the correction data corresponding to the position as stored in the memory means 15, and the detected reference position. The correction data is processed to compensate for dynamic properties, thereby deriving a correctional quantity, which is added to the positional deviation. Correction is performed in response to the position, so that the positional deviation is reduced even when the speed is changed.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
