Patent EP-0415675-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHOHAM YAIR
IPC: G10L25/93

Abstract: In CELP coding, stochastic (noise-like) excitation is used in exciting a cascade of long-term and short-term all-pole linear synthesis filters. This approach is based on the observation that the ideal excitation, obtained by inverse-filtering the speech signal, can be modeled for simplicity as Gaussian white noise. Although such stochastic excitation resembles the ideal excitation in its global statistical properties, it contains a noisy component that is irrelevant to the synthesis process. This component introduces some roughness and noisiness in the synthesized speech. The present invention reduces this effect by adaptively controlling the level of the stochastic excitation. The proposed control mechanism links the stochastic excitation to the long-term predictor in such a way that the excitation level is inversely related to the efficiency of the predictor. As a result, during voiced sounds, the excitation level is considerably attenuated and the synthesis is mainly accomplished by exciting the short-term filter with the periodic output of the long-­term filter. This reduces the noisiness, enhances the pitch structure of the synthesized speech and its perceptual quality.

Abstract: A method is described for regulating and limiting the power of a heating plate made of ceramic or similar material, in particular a glass-ceramic cooking plate. In a heating plate in which the individual heating zones are in each case heated by a plurality of heating elements which can be switched and controlled independently of one another, it is provided according to the invention that the individual heating elements are switched and regulated independently of one another, by means of a plurality of temperature sensors which are independent of one another and are arranged in the region of the heating zone such that all the points of the regions which are significant for one load case, particularly local hotspots, are detected, in such a manner that the power distribution in the heating zone region is largely matched to the locally different heat extraction. This has the advantage that the heating system can be used optimally, while the thermal stress of the heating plate material is, however, reduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to hybrid proteins consisting of partial sequences of the malaria antigens HRPII and SERP. The HRPII sequence has already proved to be protective in the monkey model (EP-A2-0 315 085), use being made in the present invention, just like in the previous attempt at protection - of a C-terminal region of 189 amino acids. SERP was identified with the aid of an antiserum against a protective protein band (EP-A1-0 283 882); the partial sequence used (amino acids (AA) 631-892 or 630-764) contains at least two T-cell epitopes (Roussilhon et al. (1990), Immunol. Letters 25, 149-154). In preferred embodiments, further regions, containing T-cell epitopes, of other P. falciparum proteins such as the merozoite surface antigen I (MSA I or else 195 kd antigen), amino acids from 100 to 300, are incorporated (Crisanti et al. (1988), Science 240, 324-326). A property common to all the hybrid components is that they represent highly conserved peptide sequences. Protection against a malaria infection is generated by inoculation with abovementioned hybrid proteins.
