Title: Reglage de l'intonation dans des systemes texte-parole
Inventor: NARAYAN SHANKAR
IPC: G10L13/00
Filed: 1994-01-18
Abstract: Système de logiciel en temps réel de synthèse texte-parole qui comporte une régulation de l'intonation n'introduisant pas de discontinuités dans le flux vocal de sortie. Le système de synthèse texte-parole comporte un module destiné à traduire un texte en une séquence de codes de segments de sons et de signaux de régulation de l'intonation. Un décodeur est couplé au traducteur pour produire des séries de trames numériques de données vocales qui représentent les sons correspondants aux codes respectifs de segments de sons de la séquence. Un système de régulation de l'intonation répond à des signaux de régulation de l'intonation afin de modifier un bloc d'une ou plusieurs trames des séries de trames de données vocales pour produire un bloc modifié. Le bloc modifié préserve la continuité des segments de début et de fin du bloc avec les trames adjacentes de la séquence. Par conséquent, lorsque le bloc modifié est intégré dans la séquence, aucune discontinuité n'est introduite et on obtient une régulation lisse de l'intonation. Ledit système de régulation de l'intonation fournit à la fois la régulation de la hauteur de son et de la durée.

Abstract: A reinforced metal box culvert is provided which has the standard crown, opposing sides and opposite curved haunches. The culvert is characterized in having continuous corrugated metal sheet reinforcement secured to at least the crown of the culvert and extends the length of the culvert which is effective in supporting the load. The corrugated reinforcement has a profile which abuts the crown corrugations with the troughs of the reinforcement being secured to the crests of the corrugated crown. The corrugated reinforcement sheet has a curvature complementary to the corrugated crown to facilitate securement. The continuous reinforcement, as secured to the culvert in an uninterrupted manner, provides an optimum load carrying capacity for selected extent of reinforcement provided by the reinforcement metal sheets.

Abstract: In einem hohlen rotierenden Zylinder wird die zu zerstäubende Flüssigkeit gleichmäßig auf die innere Zylinderoberfläche, z.B. mit Hilfe von Ein- oder Zweistoffdüsen aufgesprüht und damit auf die Bohrungen in der Zylinderwand verteilt. Die Flüssigkeit strömt infolge der Rotation des Zylinders durch die Bohrungen nach außen. Die Tropfen entstehen beim Austritt der Flüssigkeit aus den Bohrungen durch laminaren Strahlzerfall. Für den Durchsatz in jeder Bohrung gilt der Bereich ∫ 1,0 VB (a?3 ς5¿ / σ5)0,25 ∫ 16, damit die Tropfen nicht zu groß werden, sowie die Bedingung für eine ausreichende Laminarität der Strömung, bzw., daß der Wert der Reynoldszahl für die Flüssigkeitsgerinne in den Bohrungen den Wert von Re¿δ? = 400 nicht übersteigt. Dabei bedeuten VB - der Flüssigkeitsdurchsatz in jeder Bohrung, a - die Zentrifugalbeschleunigung an der äußeren Zylinderoberfläche, ς - die Dichte der Flüssigkeit und σ - die Oberflächenspannung der Flüssigkeit. Die große Anzahl N ⊃ 200 an Bohrungen mit dem Durchmesser DB in der Zylinderwand bewirkt einen vergleichsweise niedrigen Flüssigkeitsdurchsatz in jeder Bohrung, so daß sich auch bei niedrigen Viskositäten und technisch brauchbaren Gesamtdurchsätzen eine laminare Strömung in Form eines Gerinnes in jeder Bohrung einstellt. In der Zylinderwand befinden sich vorzugsweise zylindrische Bohrungen mit einer Mindestlänge die dem 3-fachen Bohrungsdurchmesser entsprichen und mit einer engen Teilung im Bereich 1,1 ∫ t / DB ∫ 5, damit eine möglichst große Zahl in der Zylinderwand untergebracht werden kann.

Abstract: An electrotransport delivery device utilizing reservoir buffering at a select pH ranges in order to reduce skin irritation and skin resistance is provided. Cathodic reservoirs are buffered to a pH of less than about 4, preferably to a pH in the range of about 2 to 4, while anodic reservoirs are buffered to a pH above about 4, preferably to a pH in the range of about 4 to 10. Another electrotransport delivery device utilizes a potassium sensor to monitor potassium efflux from the skin. Potassium efflux above a certain predetermined level has been found to be a precursor to skin irritation/erythema. Operation of the device is modified (eg, terminated) when the predetermined potassium efflux level is sensed.

Abstract: An enhanced reality maintenance system for operating in a hazardous or inaccessible environment employs an environment modeler which is supplied with spatial parameters of a given environment and creates a computer model of the environment. An environment renderer creates a plurality of images, each corresponding to a viewing location and orientation, 'viewpoint'. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) attached to a base unit by a tether cord or radio link navigates in the environment. The ROV has a spatial imaging device, such as a video camera, and actuators which propel it through the environment. Its position and orientation are determined by a position and attitude (P&A) sensing unit, and are passed to an ROV renderer which creates an image of a prestored model of the ROV having the same location and orientation as the ROV and viewed from a specified viewpoint. The viewpoints may be predetermined, provided to the system or may be interactively determined as an offset from the ROV position and orientation. Alternative embodiments include an image archive and comparison unit capable of storing images linked to information of the image acquisition, retrieving stored images with the image acquisition into and transforming one of the images to match the image acquisition information of the other image. Also, another embodiment employs an automated flight planner, which receives desired destinations from an operator, analyzes the environment and ROV models, and navigates the ROV through the desired trajectory without collision.
