Patent EP-0818739-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MOU ALEX ZHI-JIAN
IPC: G10L19/26
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: Symmetry in a filter is used to reduce the complexity of an interpolator or a decimator and
to simplify derivation of resulting discrete samples. In particular, an inverse relationship between
weights applied to two samples is recognized and exploited. An inverse relationship is recognized
when a first weight is associated with a first of the samples and a second weight is associated with
a second of the samples and a weight which is equivalent to the first weight is associated with the
second sample and a weight which is equivalent to the second weight is associated with the first
sample. The inverse relationship is exploited by forming two composite weights of the first and
second weights and weighting composite sample signals with the composite weights. A first of
the composite weights has a value which is one-half of the sum of the values of the first and
second weights. A second of the composite weights has a value which is one-half of the
difference of the values of the first and second weights. The composite weights can be used
repeatedly for each subsequent interpolation or decimation and are therefore calculated only once
for processing many samples according to the same filter. The two composite samples have
values which are, respectively, (i) the sum of the values of the first and second samples, and (ii) the
difference of the values of the first and second samples. Symmetry in weights applied to a single
sample is recognized and exploited. For example, if two or more equivalent weights of a filter are
applied to the same sample, one of the equivalent weights is applied to the sample once and the
resulting weighted signal is used repeated rather than weighting the sample by each of the
equivalent weights. Symmetry of weights applied to samples in producing a single resulting
sample is recognized and exploited. For example, if equivalent weights are applied in two
samples and the weighted samples are combined in producing a resulting sample, one of the
equivalent weights is applied to the sum of the two samples. As a result, only one of the
equivalent weights is applied to reduce the multiplication complexity of the interpolator or
decimator.

Abstract: A method is provided for a telephone subscriber to distinguish between
callers. The method is accomplished by storing a pass code for a
subscriber's telephone within a memory of the telephone system. Callers who
have been informed of the pass code and who call the subscriber's telephone
and enter the pass code receive special treatment. For example, upon the
caller calling the subscriber's telephone, a normal ringing pattern is applied to
the subscriber's telephone while a ring back signal is returned to the caller.
Upon the caller entering the pass code, a special ringing pattern is applied to
the subscriber's telephone. The special ringing pattern is different than the
normal ringing pattern and thus indicates to a subscriber of the subscriber's
telephone, even before the telephone is answered, that the caller is one of a
select group of callers to whom the subscriber has shared the pass code.

Inventor: HOEGE HARALD DR
IPC: G10L15/14
Filed: 1997-08-11
Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zur Verbesserung der Zurückweisung von
Worten angegeben, die dem Spracherkenner unbekannt sind.
Hierzu werden bei der auf die Merkmalsextraktion folgenden
Abstandsberechnungen von den Hidden Markov Modelle zu den
vorgegebenen Bibliotheksmodellen normierte Scores gebildet,
welche um einen Anfangspause und einen Endpausezustand erweitert
werden. Der Übergangszeitpunkt in den Endpausezustand
kann bevorzugt mit Hilfe von Wortendedetektionsmechanismen
aus dem Stand der Technik erkannt werden. Zur Berechnung des
Rückweisungsscores wird lediglich derjenige Teil des Warppfades
benutzt, der zwischen dem Anfangspausezustand und dem
Endpausezustand liegt. Dieser Rückweisungsscore wird erfindungsgemäß
lediglich für dasjenige Wort gebildet, das sowieso
schon bei der Viterbisuche den geringsten Score aufweist. Für
den Rückweisungsscore werden wortindividuelle Schwellen angegeben.
Fall der Rückweisungsscore eine wortindividuelle
Schwelle übersteigt, so wird das Wort akzeptiert, anderenfalls
wird es zurückgewiesen.

Abstract: The invention provides a water-absorbing agent, which has high
absorption capacity and excellent absorption efficiency under increased
pressure and can display excellent water absorption properties when used
for sanitary materials even if the resin concentration of a water-absorbent
resin is high. The water-absorbing agent has an absorption capacity of 30
(g/g) or more and the below-defined absorption efficiency of 0.7 or more
under increased pressure. This agent can be obtained by heating in the
presence of a surface-crosslinking agent a water-absorbent resin having an
absorption capacity of 40 (g/g) or more and an amount of an eluting
component of 1 wt % or less relative to the water-absorbent resin, or by:
polymerizing a water-absorbent resin in the presence of a chain transfer
agent; treating the polymerized resin with a hydrophilic solution; and
heating the treated resin in the presence of a surface-crosslinking agent.
 absorption efficiency under increased pressure

Abstract: Methods of using an adiabatic Y-branch digital optical modulator provide a
substantially chirp-free modulator by changing the refractive index of only a first
output branch of the modulator in response to a modulating signal. A second
output branch of the modulator, where no refractive index change is induced, is
used as the modulator output. The frequency chirp in this Y-branch modulator is
negligible because the modulator output waveguide branch experiences little or
no refractive index change and, therefore, little or no phase shift in operation.
Substantially all of the phase shift occurs in the waveguide branch where the
refractive index change is induced. According to a further embodiment, one or
both of the output branches are comprised of one or more tapered waveguide
sections.

Abstract: The present invention strengthens authentication protocols by making it
more difficult for handset impersonators to gain system access using replay attacks. This
goal is accomplished using challenge codes as a parameter for determining authentication
codes, whereby different challenge codes cause different authentication codes to be
generated. In one embodiment, the challenge codes are functions of challenge types (e.g.,
global or unique challenges) and/or handset states (e.g., call origination, page response,
registration, idle, and SSD-A update). This embodiment prevents handset impersonators
from successfully utilizing replay attacks to impersonate a legitimate handset if the
legitimate handset is in a different state than the handset impersonator, or if the legitimate
handset is responding to a different challenge type than the handset impersonator.
