Patent EP-0420825-A2 (EP)
Inventor: VITTORELLI VITTORE
IPC: G10L15/32
Filed: 1990-09-18
Abstract: The method includes the preliminary steps of: 
determining and storing, for each word in the vocabulary, at least one corresponding "phonetic model" constituted by a sequence of phonetic symbols corresponding to the phonemes of the word; and 
determining and storing, for a limited set of basic phonemes or "prototypes" spoken by the speaker, the associated values assumed by predetermined characteristic parameters indicative of the energy and spectral composition of that phoneme. 
     Each time it is carried out, the method then includes the steps of: 
generating an electrical sound signal corresponding to each isolated word spoken by the speaker; 
sampling the electrical sound signal and determining the values assumed by the characteristic parameters for each sample, 
for each sample, comparing the corresponding values of the characteristic parameters with the previously-stored values of the same parameters of the basic phonemes or "prototypes"; 
determining, on the basis of this comparison, a   sequence or "string" of phonetic symbols constituting an approximate representation of the phonemes contained in the isolated word spoken, and 
comparing the phonetic "string" with all the phonetic "models" of the vocabulary and selecting, by means of a dynamic programming algorithm, a small number of models ("candidate" models) whose characteristics best correspond to those of the "string".

Abstract: A container for containing a plurality of glass sheets in a stacked manner has at its bottom an opening through which rollers whose outer peripheries are polygonal and circular in section, respectively, are brought into contact with the undermost glass sheet. The container further has a glass sheet delivery slit with an opening height larger than the thickness of one glass sheet and smaller than the combined thickness of two glass sheets. The rotation of the two rollers causes the glass sheets being stacked to partially vertically vibrate to weaken the adsorptive force between the adjacent glass sheets being stacked. This results in a frictional force between the two rollers and the undermost glass sheet larger in magnitude than a frictional force between the adjacent glass sheets, which enables the undermost one of the glass sheets being stacked within the container to horizontally displace with the aid of the two rotating rollers. The displacement of the glass sheets other than the undermost glass sheet are restricted by the slit so as to permit only the undermost one to be smoothly transferred in sequence.
