Title: Voice dialling server for branch exchange telephone systems
Inventor: MORIN PHILIPE R
IPC: H04Q3/62
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: The voice dialing server plugs into one or more unused extensions of a branch exchange system to provide each of the users on the system with voice dialing services. To use the system a user simply dials the extension to which the server is attached. The server then prompts the user to supply the name of a party to be called. The name is then looked up in a telephone number dictionary unique to that user. The system then places the telephone call by sending commands to the branch exchange system that simulate the operations a user would perform to connect to an outside line or inside extension and then place the call. The server incorporates a speech processing module having a multistage word recognizer that represents speech in terms of high phoneme similarity values. This representation is highly compact, allowing the word recognizer to perform the recognizer and fine match stages with far less processor overhead than frame-by-frame speech recognizers.

Patent GB-2333883-A (GB)
Title: Low cost countermeasures against compromising electromagnetic computer emanations
Inventor: KUHN MARKUS GUENTHER
IPC: G11B5/55
Filed: 1998-01-28
Abstract: A set of methods is specified whereby software reduces compromising electromagnetic emanations of computers that could otherwise allow eavesdroppers to reconstruct sensitive processed data using periodic averaging techniques. Drivers for hard disks and other mass-storage devices ensure that the read head is never parked over confidential data longer than necessary. Fonts for screen display of text are low-pass filtered to attenuate those spectral components that radiate most strongly, without significantly affecting the readability of the text. Keyboard-microcontroller scan loops are extended with random delays and variations that prevent successful periodic averaging of the signal emanated by a keyboard.

Patent GB-2337146-A (GB)
Title: Detecting motion across a surveillance area
Inventor: THIEL GEOFFREY LAWRENCE
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 1998-05-08
Abstract: A camera captures, in successive frames, images of an object moving across a surveillance area. Successive frames are correlated to identify moving regions within each frame and to evaluate motion vectors for each region. Each moving region is thus tracked across the surveillance area. If no moving region is found in a frame to correspond to a moving region in a previous frame, a check is made for a corresponding region in a background mask; the background mask is updated frame-by-frame. If no corresponding region is found in the background mask, the moving region is considered lost and a preliminary alarm state is set. A full alarm state is then set if either a moving region is tracked traversing the surveillance area in an illegal direction or a moving region is tracked entering the surveillance area, is lost, and then another moving region (which may, or is expected to, correspond to the same object) is tracked leaving or about to leave the surveillance area in an illegal direction while a preliminary alarm state is set.

Title: Control output circuit sensing load impedance
Inventor: TOWLER KELVIN PAUL
IPC: G05B24/02
Filed: 1999-03-10
Abstract: A circuit for outputting a control signal to an external device comprises sensing means for sensing a load impedance, R<SB>L</SB>, of the external device, current output means for outputting a current signal to the external device, and voltage output means for outputting a voltage signal to the external device.

Title: Freeing memory in a page printer during punt (print overrun) protection
Inventor: CAMPBELL RUSSELL
IPC: G06K15/00
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: An imaging device and method enable the freeing of memory during a punt (print overrun) avoidance operation and during a duplexing operation for enhanced page throughput. Specifically, if a first race condition threshold (110) is met, being indicative of an estimated need to pre-rasterize a band from a page of image data for punt avoidance, and if after pre-rasterization (120) it is determined pre-rasterization is not actually needed for punt avoidance (125), then the pre-rasterized band is evaluated relative to its display list for memory savings purposes (Fig.4, not shown) for improved page throughput performance. Similarly, if a duplex condition threshold (Fig.3, not shown) is met, being indicative of a band being part of a first side of a duplex page being processed and of an estimated need to save memory for processing of the second side of the duplex page, then the band is pre-rasterized (120) and evaluated relative to its display list for memory savings purposes (Fig.4, not shown) for improved duplex page throughput performance. If neither the race condition threshold nor duplex condition threshold is met, but an increased general memory savings condition threshold (Fig.3, not shown) is met for the band, then the band is pre-rasterized (120) for memory savings purpose (Fig.4, not shown).
