Title: Method and system for diagnosing machines
Inventor: SPOTO THOMAS A
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 1993-09-23
Abstract: Abstract An expert system is provided in a computer system which uses generic rules and which acquires its rule information from a physically separate relational database (i.e. is data driven).  The expert system software architecture is thus modular which allows for different relational database files (i.e. new knowledge) to be utilized thus allowing the software to be quickly ported to new applications.  The expert system is particularly adapted for use as a machine, such as a stamping press, diagnostic - thus reducing press down time.  The reusability of the expert system, through new relational database files, quickly supports new diagnostic applications.

Abstract: An interactive computer system having a processor executing a target  computer program,  and having  a  speech  recognizer  for converting an utterance into a command signal for the target computer program.   The target computer program has a series of active program states occurring over a series of time periods.  At least a first active-state image is displayed for a first active state occurring during a first time period.  At least one object displayed in the first active-state image is identified, and a list of one or more first active-state commands identifying functions which can be performed in the first active state of the target computer program is generated from the identified object. A first active-state vocabulary of acoustic command models for the first active state comprises the acoustic command models from a system vocabulary representing the first active-state commands.  A speech recognizer measures the value of at least one feature of an utterance during each of a series of successive time intervals within the first time period to produce a  series of feature signals.  The measured feature signals are compared to each of the acoustic command models in the first active-state vocabulary to generate a match score for the utterance and each acoustic command model.     The  speech  recognizer  outputs  a  command  signal corresponding to the command model from the first active-state vocabulary having the best match score.

Title: Process and device for homogenizing the winding hardnesses of a roll profile of a film reel
Inventor: MICHEL HARTMUT
IPC: B65H23/028
Filed: 1994-05-16
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure Film edges 9,  9 of a film web 1 are sensed with sensor heads 4,4.  The sensor heads 4, 4 can be motor-adjusted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the film web 1.  By virtue of the displacement, signals are produced which are proportional to the displacement and which activates servo valves 8,  8.   These servo valves are connected to positioning cylinders 10,  10 which are in turn connected to chain-path deflector heads 6,  6.   The signals of the servo valves activate the adjustment cylinders, which then adjust the chain-path deflector heads and thus drive them in response to movement of the film edges.  By virtue of the adjustment of the chain-path deflector heads, the paths of the clip chains 14, 14 are also adjusted, resulting in a variation of the grasping depths of the film strip held firmly by the clips.  This brings about an oscillating movement of the film web after the feed-in  into the transverse stretching frame 16.

Title: Structured Quantizer for Sources with Memory
Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: G10L19/038
Filed: 1994-08-31
Abstract: An improved approximation of the desired codebook boundary is achieved, when quantizing data from a source with memory, by adding a dither sequence, the samples of which are contained within the Voronoi region of an unpartitioned lattice or the first level of lattice partitioning used to generate the trellis code. A sequence of data generated by the source with memory is quantized to a nearest sequence of a predetermined trellis code which is based on coset partitioning of a predetermined lattice into translates of a coset lattice. The trellis code sequence is then filtered with an inverse source filter. A dither sample is added to each sample of the sequence such that (1) a sum of the dither sample and the filtered trellis code sequence sample lies on a super-lattice of the coset lattice, and (2) the dither sample is inside the Voronoi region of the super-lattice.
