Abstract: A transfer sheet for ceramics has a support, a
water-soluble layer formed thereon, and a resin film
layer with a thickness of 1 µm or more formed on the
water-soluble layer, the resin film layer bearing thereon
a toner image which is capable of producing a chromatic
color after sintered, and is prepared by an
electrophotographic process using a toner which contains
a coloring agent, a binder agent, and a fritted glaze. A
toner image is fire fixed to a heat-resistant solid
surface by forming the toner image on the above-mentioned
resin film layer of the transfer sheet by the
electrophotographic process using the toner, separating
the resin film layer and the toner image together from
the support to form a toner-image- bearing resin film
member, superimposing the toner-image-bearing resin film
member on the heat-resistant solid surface in such a
manner that a non-toner-image-bearing side of the resin
film member closely adheres to the heat-resistant solid
surface, and sintering the toner-image-bearing resin film
member at a sintering temperature of the resin film layer
or more.

Abstract: A method for searching for a query word in a database of
automatically recognized text generated, for example by an optical character
recognition (OCR) system or a speech recognition (SR) system finds entries that
most closely match the query word. The database is indexed into a trie data
structure, which represents all possible words in the database. The trie data
structure has a plurality of branch nodes, each representing a letter of at least one
word, and a plurality of leaf nodes, each representing a respective word. The trie
data structure is searched for each query word by selecting the first letter of the
query word and also selecting a root node in the trie data structure as the current
node. All possible child nodes of the current node are identified. Respective
estimated probability values for matching respective letters of the query word with
the letters associated with the nodes in the path taken through the trie data structure
are calculated for each identified child node. The identified child nodes are then
placed into a list of candidate nodes. The node, in the list of candidate nodes,
having the highest probability value is selected as the current node and is then
deleted from the list of candidate nodes. The process repeats with this current node
until a leaf node is reached. When a leaf node is reached, a determination is made
whether to store the word into a list of best matches based on the probability value
of the word compared to the probability values for all the words in the list of best
matches.

winding, and a rotor disposed with a rotational gap (5),
and having a plurality of permanent magnets (8) arranged
and fixed in a circumferential direction inside, and an
auxiliary salient pole (61) provided between the permanent

permanent magnet in the surface of the stator side with an

2, and m=1, 2 or 3). Thus, pulsation torque, cogging
torque or the waveform distortion of a no-load induced
voltage is selectively reduced as occasion demands.

Abstract: The method involves using a multi-layer self-organising neural network with feedback. A minima detection layer, a reaction layer, a diffusion layer and an integration layer define a filter function (F(f,T)) for noise filtering. The filter function is used to convert a spectrum B(f,T) free of noise, into a noise-free speech signal (y(t)) by inverse Fourier transformation. The signal delay caused by processing the signal is so short that the filter can operate in real-time for telecommunication. All neurons are supplied with an externally set parameter K, the size of which defines the degree of noise suppression of the whole filter. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for noise suppression during speech transmission.

Abstract: A method for operating a data processing system to generate a full color image from a
partially sampled version of the image. The full color image includes a first two-dimensional
array of vectors having components representing the intensity of a pixel in the full color
image in a corresponding spectral band at a location determined by the location of the vector
in the first two-dimensional array. The method generates the first two-dimensional array
from a two-dimensional array of scalars. Each scalar determines one of the first, second, or
third intensity values at a corresponding location in the two-dimensional array of vectors.
The method determines the remaining ones of the first, second, and third intensity values.
The method starts by assigning a value to each one of the components of the vectors in the
first two-dimensional array of vectors that is not determined by one of the scalars. A
luminance image and first and second chrominance images are then generated from the first
two-dimensional array of vectors. The chrominance images are filtered with an isotropic
low-pass spatial filter to generate filtered chrominance images. The two-dimensional array of
vectors is then regenerated from the luminance image and the first and second filtered
chrominance images. The scalars that are originally given by the sensors are reset in the
regenerated two-dimensional array of vectors. The decomposition, filtering, resetting, and
regenerating steps are iterated to provide the final full-color image. In the preferred
embodiment, the luminance image is also filtered. However, the filtering of the luminance
image utilizes a low-pass spatial filter having an anisotropy that varies with location in the
luminance image.
