Patent EP-1045373-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JUNQUA JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: G10L13/08
Filed: 2000-03-21
Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus is provided for processing
a spoken request from a user. A speech recognizer converts the spoken request
into a digital format. A frame data structure associates semantic components of the
digitized spoken request with predetermined slots. The slots are indicative of data
which are used to achieve a predetermined goal. A speech understanding module
which is connected to the speech recognizer and to the frame data structure
determines semantic components of the spoken request. The slots are populated
based upon the determined semantic components. A dialog manager which is
connected to the speech understanding module may determine at least one slot
which is unpopulated based upon the determined semantic components and in a
preferred embodiment may provide confirmation of the populated slots. A computer
generated-request is formulated in order for the user to provide data related to the
unpopulated slot. The method and apparatus are well-suited (but not limited) to use
in a hand-held speech translation device.

Abstract: An information recording medium (50) includes at least a recording
layer (5) formed on a substrate (1), the recording layer (5) including a phase
change layer (4) in which a reversible phase change is caused between a
crystalline state and an amorphous state by irradiation of a light beam (27),
and a crystallization-ability improving layer (3) for improving a crystallization
ability of the phase change layer. The crystallization-ability improving layer
(3) is formed before the phase change layer (4) is formed. Thus, crystal
nucleus generation and crystal growth are caused during formation of the
phase change layer (4), so that at least a portion of the phase change layer (4)
is in the crystalline phase after the formation. Thus, information signals can
be recorded/reproduced at a high density and a high linear velocity, and thus
the present invention provides a highly reliable optical information recording
medium. Further, the present invention provides an information recording
medium that allows a recording operation to be performed on the recording
layer in the as-depo amorphous state without the initialization process.

different from  1 ( L ) at physical positions  L  of interest, and determining a
difference image from the acquired data representative of the first scout-scanned
CT image and the acquired data representative of the second scout-scanned
CT image data. It is not necessary that  1 ( L ) and  2 ( L ) be constant
as a function of position  L .

Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate and a method for obtaining an electrophysiological measuring configuration in which a cell forms a high resistive seal (giga-seal) around a measuring electrode making it suitable for determining and monitoring a current flow through the cell membrane. The substrate is typically part of an apparatus for studying electrical events in cell membranes, such as an apparatus for carrying out patch clamp techniques utilised to study ion transfer channels in biological membranes. The substrate has a plurality or an array of measuring sites with integrated measuring and reference electrodes formed by wafer processing technology. The electrodes are adapted to conduct a current between them by delivery of ions by one electrode and receipt of ions by the other electrode and are typically silver/silver halide electrodes. This allows for effective and fast measuring of cells in configurations where there is a direct electrical connection between the measuring electrode and the cell interior, a whole-cell measuring configuration.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à l'industrie de la confiserie et s'utilise dans la préparation de produits mousseux, en particulier de guimauves. La technique de fabrication de guimauves consiste à préparer un gélifiant puis un sirop à base dudit gélifiant, à faire bouillir ledit sirop sous pression et à préparer un mélange selon une formule assurant une viscosité de 0,9-2,3 Pa•s, avec un gradient de 60-80sec-1 d'un agent de remplissage, d'un agent moussant et du sirop préparé. On fouette le mélange correspondant à cette formule jusqu'à ce qu'il atteigne la consistance d'une pâte de guimauve, on forme cette pâte de manière à obtenir des produits semi-finis, et l'on munit les produits semi-finis d'une structure, lesdits produits semi-finis étant ensuite séchés et mis en forme pour obtenir des produits isolés. Dans le cas d'espèce, on prend les composants du mélange correspondant à la formule dans les quantités suivantes (en % en poids): agent moussant (blanc d'oeuf) 0,5 1,4;sirop 50 96;y compris l'agent gélifiant 0,6 1,4;agent de remplissage le reste. On peut utiliser comme agent gélifiant les composés suivants: I - agar; II - pectine; III - agar ou un mélange d'agar et d'un agaroïde (carraghénane). Dans le premier cas, on utilise en tant qu'agent de remplissage un mélange de sauce à la pomme; dans les deux derniers cas, on utilise la mélasse. On peut éventuellement utiliser dans la production de guimauves un sel de séparation, un sirop inverti, des aromatisants et des colorants. Lors de la mise en forme des articles semi-finis, on injecte sous pression au milieu de la pâte de guimauve d'au moins un article semi-fini un agent de remplissage tel qu'une gelée de fruits et/ou le chocolat à tartiner et/ou la crème de lait. On peut appliquer à la surface du produit une matière de finition telle que le sucre glacé, des gaufrettes, des noix concassées, du chocolat ou du glaçage fondant ou gras. Les guimauves comprennent un ou au moins deux articles semi-finis liés, mis en forme et structurés, qui se présentent comme des figures géométriques avec une surface lisse ou en relief préparée selon une technique appliquée. Les guimauves peuvent comporter un agent de remplissage disposé dans la cavité d'au moins un article semi-fini à base de guimauve. Une cavité peut être faite dans l'espace clos d'un produit semi-fini; elle peut aussi présenter une ouverture de l'un des côtés. Les guimauves peuvent être recouvertes d'une couche de matériau de finition et/ou être multicolores.

Abstract: An image sensing device free from change in the angle of view between
taking moving picture and taking still picture, small in power consumption in
moving picture taking, and small in sensitivity drop if the size of the optical
system is the same. The image sensing means has exclusive image sensing
elements for red (R), green (G), and blue (B), and the three image sensing
elements are disposed by shifting the pixels obliquely. Luminance signal
generating means generates a first luminance signal of which number of
pixels in the horizontal direction is 2 times that of the image sensing device
for G, and generates a second luminance signal of which number of pixels in
the horizontal direction is 2 times that of the image sensing device for G.
Sampling frequency converting means decreases the sampling frequency at a
specific ratio, and generates as a third luminance signal. Second memory
means stores the first luminance signal and second luminance signal, and
issues them alternately in every line. This image sensing device utilizes the
output signal of the sampling frequency converting means as a moving picture
output, and the output of the second memory means as a still picture output.
