Title: Speech processing system
Inventor: RAJAN JEBU JACOB
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: A speech processing system is provided which is operable to receive sets of signal values representative of a speech signal generated by a speech source. The system is operable to determine a measure of the quality of the speech signal by performing a statistical analysis, in unit 21, of the received sets of signal values. The system stores, in memory 47, data defining a predetermined function derived from a signal model which models the speech source and which defines a probability density function which gives, for a given set of model parameters, the probability that the signal model has those model parameters given that the signal model is assumed to have generated the received set of signal values. The system applies a current set of received signal values to the stored probability density function and then draws samples of parameters values from it, e.g. using a Gibbs sampler 41. The system then analyses the samples to determine a measure of the variance of some of the samples and then outputs a signal indicative of the quality of the received speech signal values in dependence upon the determined variance. The parameter(s) sampled may include auto-regressive coefficients, moving average filter coefficients and process noise. The system may be used in speech encoding, transmission or recognition. Application to annotating and retrieving data files is described.

Title: A method of aligning a mask to a specific crystal plane in a wafer
Inventor: ANTAKI ROBERT
IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 2000-12-08
Abstract: In order to align a mask to a specific crystal plane in a wafer, a first mask having at least one alignment structure e.g. of triplets (fig.1), forks (fig.2) and squares (fig.3) is deposited on the wafer surface. The alignment structure is coarsely aligned with the specific crystal plane and has an array of components that are offset relative to each other by known angles defining the degree of precision with which said mask can be finely aligned with said crystal plane. Next, an anisotropic etch is performed through the first mask to etch the alignment structure into the wafer surface. The components of the alignment structure produce different etch patterns in the wafer surface according to their relative orientation to the specific crystal plane. Finally, a second mask (fig.4) is formed on the wafer surface having a reference structure e.g. of crosses thereon. The reference structure on the second mask is aligned relative to an etch pattern identified as being finely aligned with the specific crystal plane.

Title: Removable collecting chamber in a bagless vacuum cleaner
Inventor: ORGAN STEPHEN PAUL
IPC: A47L9/10
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: In a bagless vacuum cleaner, eg of the cyclone type, the separating apparatus, which may comprise a series of cyclones 240, includes a dirt collecting chamber 205 which has a door 210 at its base which can be opened to empty the chamber by means of a remote trigger 222 and associated linkage 230 and latch 260. The chamber is also separable from the separating apparatus for thorough cleaning, and is released by means of catch 295 and detent 296 where is connects with the lower end of the cyclone assembly. The arrangement is characterised in that the chamber cannot be removed unless the door 210 is open, by virtue of the fact that the latch for the door is hooked and is attached to the cyclone assembly. Thus the chamber must be emptied before detachment, thus obviating inadvertent opening of the door after it has been removed and is being handled for cleaning.

Title: Navigation system where route and deviation limit is calculated remotely and may be revised upon route deviation
Inventor: CHEN STEPHEN
IPC: G08G1/0968
Filed: 2002-02-08
Abstract: A navigation system having a remote information centre A and a user navigation means B. Upon activation, the user navigation means B determines its position by GPS and sends its position to the remote information centre A along with the desired destination specified by the user. Suitable routes and deviation limits are calculated at the remote centre and transmitted back to the user and when the information is received, communication with the remote centre is terminated. The position of the user with respect to the downloaded route is used to determine if the deviation limits have been exceeded. When the limits are exceeded the user navigation means further communicates with the remote centre to recalculate the route and new deviation limits and when the new information is received, communication with the remote centre is again terminated.

Title: Tracks for wall descending toys
Inventor: WONG TAK KO
IPC: A63H18/08
Filed: 2002-06-18
Abstract: A track segment for a toy vehicle having a plurality of road wheels and a braking wheel (13 figure 9), eg. a wall walking car, comprises a road surface 2 having a groove 6 extending only partially the length of the track, dividing that part of the road surface into a pair of laterally spaced road surface strips 5, where each strip supports the road wheels (15 figure 9) of the toy vehicle. The braking wheel (14 figure 9) of the toy extends down into the groove but does not touch the groove and therefore does not slow the car. The track segments may be connected end to end with one end suspended from a high point, thus allowing the toy vehicles to descend freely until the groove terminates 8 and the braking wheel encounters the road surface which slows the vehicles. The track segments may be undulating 4, forked (figure 11), or "H" shaped (figure 10) with turntables to allow the vehicle to change direction, furthermore the track segments may have slidable inserts that fit into the grooves.
