Title: System for raising the spatial resolution of radiation detectors
Inventor: PAWLIK HORST
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for raising the spatial resolution of radiation detectors. The aim of the system provided for in the invention is to make it possible to raise spatial resolution in variably predefinable manners and to do so with a low number of component groups. To this end a land (2) which is not transparent to the radiation to be detected is positioned in front of each radiation detecting element (1). The width (ba) of the land is fixed such that it is a fraction of the width of the radiation detector and the land (2) can be displaced across the entire width of the detector by means of an adjustment element (3). Discrete adjustment positions of the adjustment element (3) can be set by means of a control and data line (4) and in a control and evaluation unit (5) said discrete positions can be allocated to the corresponding intensity signals of the radiation detecting element (1) transmitted via a line (6). Following numerical transformation, the intensity curve of the radiation to be detected can be represented at greater resolution in accordance with the ratio detector width to land width.
Patent EP-1074010-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HELLER ALAN C
IPC: G06K19/00
Filed: 1999-04-09
Abstract: A method and system utilize both the radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) parts of the electromagnetic spectrum to locate subjects (i.e. objects and persons) within a tracking environment. The system includes a battery-operated, microprocessor-based badge for each subject to be located. Each badge automatically transmits digitized infrared light signals to provide a fine determination of its subject's location. Each badge transmits RF and IR signals upon actuation of a page request/alert push button switch on its badge. An RF signal is also generated at a timed interval as a "heartbeat" pulse. This pulse informs the host computer that the badge is both present and fully functional. The IR and RF signals are modulated or encoded with badge identification data, page request or alert notification data, and battery condition data. The system also includes ceiling or wall sensors in the form of IR and RF receivers. Each RF sensor converts the encoded RF signals into a first set of electrical signals. Each IR sensor converts encoded IR signals into a second set of electrical signals. In turn, the first and second sets of electrical signals are transmitted to a micro-processor-based collector of the system. The locating method and system are particularly useful in hospitals to determine and monitor the location of patients and/or critical equipment.

Title: Arrangement and method for computer recognition of a predefined vocabulary in spoken language
Inventor: BUB UDO
IPC: G10L11/00
Filed: 1999-05-03
Abstract: In speech recognition, phonemes of a language are modelled by a hidden Markov model, whereby each status of the hidden Markov model is described by a probability density function. For speech recognition of a modified vocabulary, the probability density function is split into a first and into a second probability density function. As a result thereof, it is possible to compensate variations in the speaking habits of a speaker or to add a new word to the vocabulary of the speech recognition unit and thereby assure that this new word is distinguished with adequate quality from the words already present in the speech recognition unit and is thus recognized.
