Abstract: In one aspect, the invention divides an audio signal into auditory events, each of which tends to be perceived as separate and distinct, by calculating the spectral content of successive time blocks of the audio signal, calculating the difference in spectral content between successive time blocks of the audio signal, and identifying an auditory event boundary as the boundary between successive time blocks when the difference in the spectral content between such successive time blocks exceeds a threshold. In another aspect, the invention generates a reduced-information representation of an audio signal by dividing an audio signal into auditory events, each of which tends to be perceived as separate and distinct, and formatting and storing information relating to the auditory events. Optionally, the invention may also assign a characteristic to one or more of the auditory events. Auditory events may be determined according to the first aspect of the invention or by another method.

Abstract: A system and method for covertly managing passive network devices from a local or remote management center. A standard IP-based conversation established over a data network between two or more partner devices occurs in a first communication channel. Transparent passive network devices listen to the network traffic passing on the data network to which they are connected and extract their management information from this traffic. By generating protocol data units (PDU's) imitating those sent by the intended nodes, the reverse direction of the management traffic may be implemented.

Abstract: A system for controlling automatic, multi-step or continuously variable, transmission equipped with a motor vehicle utilizing fuzzy logic. In the system, fuzzy production rules have been prepared based upon an expert driver's judgments and operation made on a vehicle with a manually shifted transmission. Various operating conditions including opening degree of a throttle valve and road speed of the vehicle are detected and from the detected value, various predictions are made such as an appropriateness of vehicle response to a gearshift intended by the driver and engine output change that would occur should the transmission be shifted to a given gear. These measured or estimated value are put on a common scale named universe of discourse and membership values of the rules are successively calculated. Among the rules, one rule is finally selected and according to the gear indicated in the selected rule, the current gear is shifted up or down or is held at the present position, in case of the multi-step transmission. Similarly, the speed ratio in the continuously variable transmission is determined from the selected rule.

Abstract: Metallic or non-metallic wires or bristles are attached to a hollow, cylindrical core. The wires or fibers are quite fine in diameter. Space is provided in the core in the shape of perforations for the transfer of electrolyte, which is fed from the hollow inner portion of the cylinder, along the fibers, to the copper substrate on an imaged substrate. Electrical or non-electrical sources are employed. The wires may be electrically connected through the metal cylinder to the positive pole (anode) of the DC power source. The non-conductive fibers make direct contact with the metal to be etched. In the electrical device within the hollow cylinder but separated from the cylinder is positioned a perforated or mesh copper, which is connected electrically to the negative pole (cathode) of the DC power supply. A cell is now made between the copper laminate and the perforated copper inside the cylinder. Copper from the laminate (anode) is removed and deposited on the perforated copper (cathode). The same apparatus is used for electroforming applications. The wires can be connected to the negative pole of the rectifier, while an anodically insoluble conductive substrate can be used in place of the counter-electrode within the hollow cylinder. By contacting an activated or metallic substrate with negatively charged fibers one can deposit metal in the exposed areas.
