Abstract: A speech recognition method of recognizing an input speech in
a noisy environment by using a plurality of clean speech models is
provided. Each of the clean speech models has a clean speech
feature parameter S representing a cepstrum parameter of a clean
speech thereof. The speech recognition method has the processes of:
detecting a noise feature parameter N representing a cepstrum
parameter of a noise in the noisy environment, immediately before the
input speech is input; detecting an input speech feature parameter X
representing a cepstrum parameter of the input speech in the noisy
environment; calculating a modified clean speech feature parameter Y
according to a following equation:
 Y = k · S + (1-k) · N (0 < k ≦ 1), 
where the "k" is a predetermined value corresponding to a signal-to-noise
ratio in the noise environment; comparing the input speech
feature parameter X with the modified clean speech feature parameter
Y; and recognizing the input speech by repeatedly carrying out the
calculating process and the comparing process with respect to the
plurality of clean speech models.

Abstract: A display of dot matrix type is used in a portable telephone. The display is
divided into a primary display area to show alphanumeric signs and the like, and
into an icon area to show predetermined icons. Both display areas show signs by
selectively marking a plurality of dots. The primary display area (the dot matrix
area) is a so-called graphic display, in which the dots are regular and may be
combined to form arbitrary signs. In the icon display area, the dots are shaped
according to the icons. The dots are hereby icon-specific, and their irregular
shape occurs in practice by slitting the icon concerned in the transverse
direction. The icon area will hereby electrically serve as one or more edge rows
in the dot matrix area.

Abstract: An infant incubator is disclosed having an infant compartment (36) that contains the
infant and which is set to a desired temperature above ambient by the user. The
incubator has at least one access door (38) that opens to allow the caregiver to perform
an intervention on the infant and which is actively heated when in the open position,
e.g. electrically or by a flow of heated air passing though a passage (50) within the

temperature with respect to the ambient and this means that less heating energy is
needed to return the infant compartment (36) back to the desired temperature.

Abstract: A SCSI bus extender apparatus coupling a primary SCSI bus to a secondary
SCSI bus includes a mechanism for detecting and resolving contention between
a substantially simultaneous SELECTION operation on the primary bus and a
RESELECTION operation on the secondary bus. The inventive method
contemplates the bus extender arbitrating for control of the primary bus after a
conflict is detected, and releasing control of the secondary bus if control of the
primary bus is obtained. A target device on the secondary bus can then
rearbitrate for control of the secondary bus. Once the target device controls the
secondary bus, it can direct a RESELECTION signal to the bus extender, which
responsively directs the signal to an initiator device on the primary bus. If the
bus extender is unable to gain control of the primary bus after a conflict is
detected, the SELECTION operation is allowed to proceed and the target
device reattempts to assert the RESELECTION operation thereafter.

Abstract: An approximately vertical stack (1) of flat sheets of paper stands on a lifting jack ready for removal from the top one sheet at a time by e.g. a suction device serving e.g. a print machine. The exact position of the stack side is ascertained by a sensor which consists of a touch-wheel (6) on an arm (7) linked to a switch (9) and held in position by a spring (14). As the stack is raised the sensor wheel defines the position of the stack edge to within a fine tolerance. The exact position of the stack can then be adjusted for precision pick-up of the top sheet of paper. The sensor is non-linear.

Abstract: In setting pre-emphasis at the transmitting end,
each optical signal outputted from a laser diode and
an amplified spontaneous emission noise outputted from
an ASE output unit are multiplexed at a coupler, and
the output power of the amplified spontaneous emission
noise, at that time, is changed by an attenuator. In
this case, the difference between a reference value,
which is the value of an OSNR corresponding to the
target lower limit of a Q-value at the receiving end,
and the value of a current OSNR is calculated as a
margin. Then, the attenuator is controlled so that
the margin of an OSNR becomes equal to the average of
the margins for all optical signals.
