Abstract: A method of forming a matrix assembly for use in forming creases or score lines in card-like material. The method comprises providing a steel strip, treating an upper surface of the steel strip with a resin adhesive, extruding one or more plastic material strips onto the metal strip to define a longitudinal channel and heating the assembly so formed to cure the resin adhesive and adhere the plastic material to the metal strip. The present method obviates the need to perforate the metal strip and therefore a thinner steel strip is obtained.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for speech reconstruction within a distributed speech recognition system is provided herein. Missing MFCCs are reconstructed (219) and utilized to generate speech (223) . Particularly, partial recovery of the missing MFCCs is achieved by exploiting the dependence of the missing MFCCs on the transmitted pitch period P (213) as well as on the transmitted MFCCs. Harmonic magnitudes are then obtained from the transmitted and reconstructed MFCCs, and the speech is reconstructed (223) utilizing these harmonic magnitudes.

Abstract: A method using two local clipboards in conjunction with the system clipboard to perform cut-and-paste and copy-and-paste operations during the creation and editing of markup language documents. A user editing a document has the option of cutting or copying an entire textbox or selected text from within a textbox. If an entire textbox is copied, two local clipboards are used in combination with the system clipboard to store related information in multiple locations. Upon receipt of a paste command from the user, if a text insertion cursor is present, the text to be pasted is inserted into an existing textbox. If no text insertion cursor is present, a new textbox is created and the text is inserted in the new textbox. The attributes of the text in a newly created textbox depend on how and from what source the text was cut or copied.

Abstract: An improved catalyst is disclosed for a process involving the preparation of benzylidene intermediates useful in the preparation of 1,4-dihydropyridine compounds and derivatives thereof useful as medicines such as for example felodipine. This is accomplished by the condensation of an aldehyde and an acetoacetate in the presence of a novel catalyst system that includes a pyridyl carboxylic acid and a secondary amine. It has been found that through the use of the present invention the purity and yield of the desired isomer of the benzylidene intermediate can be maximized, thus avoiding the requirement of additional purification steps. The use of these intermediates can then be further reacted to form the required dihydropyridines, again having a very high purity and yield compared with the prior art.
