Title: Voice recognition rejection scheme
Inventor: BI NING
IPC: G06F3/16
Filed: 2000-02-04
Abstract: A voice recognition rejection scheme for capturing an utterance includes the steps accepting the utterance, applying an N-best algorithm to the utterance, or rejecting the utterance. The utterance is accepted if a first predefined relationship exists between one or more closest comparison results for the utterance with respect to a stored word and one or more differences between the one or more closest comparison results and one or more other comparison results between the utterance and one or more other stored words. An N-best algorithm is applied to the utterance if a second predefined relationship exists between the one or more closest comparison results and the one or more differences between the one or more closest comparison results and the one or more other comparison results. The utterance is rejected if a third predefined relationship exists between the one or more closest comparison results and the one or more differences between the one or more closest comparison results and the one or more other comparison results. One of the one or more other comparison results may advantageously be a next-closest comparison result for the utterance and another store word. The first, second, and third predefined relationships may advantageously be linear relationships.

Title: Treatment for improving the castability of aluminium killed continuously cast steel
Inventor: BERTRAND FLORENCE
IPC: C21C7/00
Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: According to this treatment, calcium is added to ultra low molten steel or low carbon which is aluminum killed (or in the course of being killed) in order to form non-metallic deoxidation inclusions that have a melting point which is below the casting temperature; the molten metal is maintained in the chain of treatment ranging from the ladle refining installation to the copper mold with a low minimum low magnesium content of approximately 2 ppm. The inventive method increases the scope of fusibility of the inclusionary population of steels, thereby improving the castability of high aluminum-killed ultra low carbon grades without the need for argon bubbling.
