Patent EP-1598013-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NISHIGAKI MORIO
IPC: G01S7/52
Filed: 2004-02-09
Abstract: There is provided a method for determining an aperture of an
ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that prevents a beam pattern from being
deteriorated and allows an image with excellent quality to be obtained. The
method includes: a beam formation simulation step (S102) of performing a
simulation of an ultrasonic beam pattern to be formed, based on a parameter
concerning a signal processing condition of a probe including a manner of
adding and thinning received signals from transducers; and an addition and
thinning pattern determination step (S103) of determining whether or not the
beam pattern obtained in the beam formation simulation step satisfies a
predetermined criterion including a maximum value of a sidelobe level, an
allowable amount of reduction in sensitivity in the case where no addition
and thinning is performed, and the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for replacing pipes that have been laid underground (1) along the course of a pipeline. According to said method, in a zone situated between a feed trench (2) and a target trench (3) a used pipe (4) consisting of an embrittled material is ruptured from within and pressed into the surrounding earth and a new pipe (5) is introduced in its place. This is achieved by a haulage device (6) that pulls both a crusher tool (7) equipped with an expansion head (8) and a following new pipe (5) from the feed trench to the target trench, a protective sleeve being simultaneously introduced with the new pipe to counteract mechanical influences emanating from the ground. A hose (11) constitutes the protective sleeve and during the haulage operation, the gap between the external wall of the new pipe and the internal wall of the hose is filled with a free-flowing, hardenable material. Preferably, one end of the hose is fixed in the feed trench and the other end of the hose is fixed behind the expansion head, so that during the haulage operation the hose can be withdrawn from a reserve located between the expansion head and the end of the new pipe that faces said head. This method eliminates the stresses at certain points that would otherwise be exerted on the new pipes and that could lead to a significant reduction in their service life, by means of the protective covering that surrounds the new pipe. In addition, the protective sleeve prevents the uncontrolled escape of the free-flowing, hardenable material into neighbouring external installations.

Title: Procede de synthese de la parole
Inventor: CHEN FANG
IPC: G10L13/07
Filed: 2004-09-17
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de synthèse de la parole qui consiste à comparer un segment de texte (120) avec un corpus de formes d'ondes d'énoncés (60) contenant de nombreux échantillons de parole (140). Le procédé de l'invention permet de déterminer s'il apparaît une concordance contextuelle optimale entre le segment de texte (120) et un échantillon de parole (140).  Si tel n'est pas le cas, le procédé permet de déterminer s'il apparaît une concordance contextuelle phonétique hybride entre le segment de texte (120) et un échantillon de parole (140).  Une concordance contextuelle phonétique hybride requiert une concordance de tous les traits prosodiques implicites (210) dans un groupe de traits prosodiques défini (220).  S'il n'apparaît toujours pas de concordance, on redéfinit le groupe de traits prosodiques (220) en effaçant l'un des traits prosodiques implicites (210) du groupe de traits prosodiques (220).  On redéfinit par étapes successives le groupe de traits prosodiques (220) en effaçant un trait prosodique implicite (210) du groupe (220) jusqu'à ce qu'une concordance apparaisse entre le segment de texte entré (120) et un échantillon de parole (140).  Lorsqu'une concordance apparaît, on utilise l'échantillon de parole concordant (140) pour générer une parole concaténative (110).
