Patent EP-1091347-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SCHROEDER ERNST F
IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 2000-09-02
Abstract: Voice control systems are used in diverse
technical fields. In this case, the spoken words are
detected by one or more microphones and then fed to a
speech recognition system. The known speech recognition
systems have the disadvantage that the user must first
activate speech recognition, for example by pressing a
button provided for this purpose on the remote control.
According to the invention, firstly a simple speech
recognition process is carried out and then one or a
plurality of more complicated speech recognition
processes are carried out. In this case, the simple
speech recognition process is largely independent of
dialect and speaker but has only a small vocabulary and
does not enable recognition of a word order, whereas at
least one of the more complicated speech recognition
processes is largely dependent on dialect and speaker but
has an extensive vocabulary and/or enables recognition of
a word order. The simple speech recognition process is
advantageously used for switching on one of the more
complicated speech recognition processes.

Abstract: A dual micro-electromechanical actuator for providing dual actuation to a
micromachine. The actuator includes a first substrate upon which a first actuating
electrode is formed. A second substrate located proximate to but spaced from the first
substrate supports a second actuating electrode. A micromachine device, such as a thin

of the actuating electrodes is selectively activated by applying a voltage thereto, an
electrostatic attraction force is produced which causes movement of the micromachine in
the direction of the activated actuating electrode.

Abstract: Hierarchical remediation on the unmet service needs associated with
work items queued in a work processing facility is used in order to maximize the
achievement of service level goals. A hierarchical remediator and corresponding
hierarchical remediation method may each be employed in a work distributor or an
automatic call distributor ("ACD"). The hierarchical remediator determines which
work item among pending work items of different types will be distributed to an
available server. The hierarchical remediator and its corresponding hierarchical
remediation method ensure that more important jeopardized service levels receive
greater remedial compensation than the less important ones. The hierarchy of
distinct service classes associated with jeopardized service levels may comprise one
input to the hierarchical remediator. The hierarchical remediator may also consider a
skill preference profile for the available server as another input. The hierarchical
remediator generates a composite preference value for each alternate work item from
among the work items queued in the work processing facility. The hierarchical
remediator selects which work item to assign to the available server by identifying
the work item having the highest composite preference value. The hierarchical
remediator and the corresponding hierarchical remediation method may be directed
to apply one of a variety of user-supplied functions in order so complete the
calculations associated with the composite preference values.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a game system
in which a player is allowed to repeat playing a predetermined
range of a game and an experience gained by a character as an
operation object is reflected on the game to be repeated so
that the player is kept from getting tired. In the game system
in which a plurality of characters are each respectively made
to act in dependence on a schedule prescribed in correspondence
to a time on a game, at a time point the game has progressed
to an end point of a loop range, if a predetermined progress
permission condition is met, there is permitted a progress of
the game ahead of the loop range. If the progress permission
condition is not met, the time on the game is made to retreat
to a start point of the loop range. At this time, exceptional
information as part including information associated with an
experience on the game by a character as an operation object
is maintained in a state when at the end point of the loop range,
having other information restored in a state corresponding to
the start point.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique that prevents a
shift of a driving waveform due to accumulation of errors in a
process of generating the driving waveform to drive driving
elements on a print head. The technique of the present invention
successively sums up a plurality of gradient data at a preset
calculation period to give a result of summation and carries out
digital-to-analog (D-A) conversion with regard to only specific
upper columns in the result of summation in synchronism with the
preset calculation period, so as to generate a driving waveform.
Each gradient data represents a local gradient of the driving
waveform and is stored in a memory. In the process of generating
the driving waveform, the technique of the present invention
corrects the result of summation to a preset value under a
predetermined condition. One preferable embodiment clears
specific lower bits in the result of summation in synchronism with
a floor signal. Another preferable embodiment forcibly corrects
the result of summation to an upper limit value or a lower limit
value of a preset range when the result of summation exceeds the
preset range. Such correction effectively cancels the potential
effects of cumulative error on the driving waveform.

Abstract: Derivatives of aryl and heterocyclic ureido and aryl and heterocyclic carboxamido phenoxy isobutyric acids have been found to inhibit the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins which often results in formation of advanced glycation endproducts and crosslinks. Many other phenoxyisobutyric acid derivatives as well as certain other compounds as set out in this disclosure also have been found to inhibit the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins. The nonenzymatic glycation and crosslinking of proteins is a part of the aging process with the glycation endproducts and crosslinking of long-lived proteins increasing with age. This process is increased at elevated concentrations of reducing sugars in the blood and in the intracellular environment such as occurs with diabetes. The structural and functional integrity of the affected molecules become perturbed by these modifications and can result in severe consequences. The compounds of the present invention can be used to inhibit this process of nonenzymatic glycation and therefore to inhibit some of the ill effects caused by diabetes or by aging. The compounds are also useful for preventing premature aging, spoilage of proteins in food and can prevent discoloration of teeth.
