Abstract: Speech enhancement is provided in dual microphone noise reduction systems by including spectral subtraction algorithms using linear convolution, causal filtering and/or spectrum dependent exponential averaging of the spectral subtraction gain function. According to exemplary embodiments, when a far-mouth microphone is used in conjunction with a near-mouth microphone, it is possible to handle non-stationary background noise as long as the noise spectrum can continuously be estimated from a single block of input samples. The far-mouth microphone, in addition to picking up the background noise, also picks up the speaker's voice, albeit at a lower level than the near-mouth microphone. To enhance the noise estimate, a spectral subtraction stage is used to suppress the speech in the far-mouth microphone signal. To be able to enhance the noise estimate, a rough speech estimate is formed with another spectral subtraction stage from the near-mouth signal. Finally, a third spectral subtraction function is used to enhance the near-mouth signal by suppressing the background noise using the enhanced background noise estimate.

Abstract: An address reading method with processing steps controlled by parameters, in which free parameters which cannot be adapted by learning samples are to be automatically optimized. These parameters are therefore assigned costs. The value of free parameters which are expensive and lie above selectable cost thresholds are maintained and the remaining free parameters are improved by repeatedly modifying their values on the basis of strategies known per se, taking already evaluated parameter settings into account, and training and evaluating the reading method only with these modified values.

Abstract: An X-ray examination apparatus includes an X-ray source, an X-ray detector and an exposure control system. The exposure control system is arranged to control the X-ray source so as to perform a test exposure at a low X-ray dose and to perform an X-ray exposure at a higher X-ray dose. The X-ray detector applies a control signal resulting from the test exposure to the exposure control system and the X-ray source is adjusted on the basis of this control signal. The X-ray exposure produces an X-ray image and the X-ray detector supplies an image signal representing this X-ray image. The exposure control system is arranged to adjust the X-ray detector to a low spatial resolution during the test exposure and to a high spatial resolution during the X-ray exposure. The X-ray detector preferably includes a sensor matrix having sensor elements arranged in columns and rows. The spatial resolution is adjusted by deriving the control signal and the image signal from large and small groups of sensor elements, respectively.

In another preferred form, when the leaf spring assembly (60) has front (66) and rear (68) cantilevers of substantially equal length, the leaf spring assembly (60) provides for a varying caster angle for its associated axle during deflection of the assembly due to jounce and rebound. In yet another preferred form, the axle seat portion (70) of the full leaf leaf spring (63A) is designed such that it biases the position of the axle associated with the leaf spring assembly (60) to a predetermined caster angle.
