Abstract: ABSTRACT A continuous speech recognition system is described in which false recognition due to an unnatural matching path is reduced.  In the system a similarity measure and a path information are developed at each time point (i, j) in the order of monotonous increase of i and j based on the similarity measure and path information obtained up to the time point (i, j) by making use of Dynamic Programming, where i and j designate time points at the time axes of an input pattern and a continuous reference pattern, respectively. The input pattern is given in a time series of feature vectors for an input speech and the continuous reference pattern is given in a time series of fea-ture vectors for connected combinations of several reference word patterns. The similarity measure is given by an accumulated distance between the feature vectors of the input pattern and the reference word patterns.  The path infor-mation represents a start time point of a word unit of the continuous reference pattern.  Circuitry is provided for setting the minimum similarity measure obtained for a word unit as an initial value for a next subsequent word unit. Circuitry is provided for checking whether or not the path information at the time point (i, j) is within a predetermined window restriction.  Circuitry is provided for excluding a time point outside the window restriction from development of the similarity measure and path information.  Finally, circuitry is provided for deciding recognition results of the input speech on the basis of the matching path showing the minimum similarity measure at the end time point of the input pattern.

Abstract: "MULTITERMINATORS FOR RISER PIPES     ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention is an improvement over the simple terminator, which has been applied at the mudline, and at the platform level, to resist very large stresses in the riser pipes when the vertically moored platform (VMP) is subjected to wind, tide and current.  A second or short terminator is used with the terminator to form a multiter-minator which results in the length and weight of the ter-minator assembly for a given site being greatly reduced from that of the prior art terminator.  Thus, the cost of construction of the terminator assembly is drastically reduced with the use of our invention.  Also disclosed is a novel bearing arrangement between the VMP and the termi-nator assembly.

Abstract: ABSTRACT:         An electro-acoustic transducer has a diaphragm which comprises a layer of a polymethacrylimide foam having a modulus of elasticity between 15.106 and 120.106 N/m2 and a density between 10 and 80 kg/m3.  If the diaphragm is of a sandwich construction, the core layer is made of this polymethacrylimide foam and the skin layers are made of glass fibres, carbon fibres, cellulose fibres or polyaramide fibres.  This results in a transducer having a higher efficiency and a lower distortion.

Abstract: ABSTRACT           It is known to extrude edible products onto a conveyor for further processing.  In this invention, the products are extruded onto a conveyor having a line of successive travelling turntables.  The extruded length is cut into sections between successive turntables in a manner, for example obliquely, which allows separation of adjacent sections by rotation of the turntables. Each turntable is then rotated through a defined angle to present a cut end of the section lying on the turntable substantially transversely of the line.  The advantage of this arrangement is that it exposes the cut ends of each section to further processing, for example by insertion of a stick into a cut end.

Abstract: MEMBRANE COVERED CUSHION HAVING INDENTED    PATTERN AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME               Abstract of the Disclosure A cushion usable as a seat or back-rest in a seat for a vehicle or as an article of furniture has an indented design, which is ornamental or functional or both, formed in its outer exposed surface.  The cushion comprises a resilient compressible deformable body, such as a polyurethane foam block, which has the indented design formed in a surface thereof, and further comprises a flexible stretchable membrane, either of cloth or plastic, which covers the body surface, follows the contours of the indented design and is adhesively secured thereto.  The cushion is manufactured by providing a preformed body having the design indentations formed therein; providing a flexible stretchable membrane heated and having an adhesive on one side thereof; and providing a fixture having a die cavity generally conforming in size and shape to the body but including projections which correspond in shape to but are of greater height than the design indentations in the body. The membrane, which is heated to about 250° to 300° F, and then the body are inserted into the die cavity and the body is physically forced thereinto as by means of a weighted platten.          This causes the fixture projections and overlying membrane to penetrate deeply into the indented design in the body.          After several minutes, cooling occurs, the membrane takes a set and the adhesive cures to cause good adhesion, and the finished cushion is then removed from the die cavity.

Abstract: A B S T R A C T      The invention relates to a process for the production of thiuram  polysulfides substituted by aliphatic, araliphatic and/or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radicals.   In this process, correspondingly substituted secondary amines are reacted with carbon disulfide and sulfur in a solvent at 0 to 150°C in the presence of a tertiary amine, a metal-containing catalyst and oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas.    By virtue of its high purity, the product obtained by this process may be used directly, i.e. without preliminary purification, for its intended purpose, for example as a vulcanization accelerator or sulfur donor.    This process is distinguished from other known processes for the production of thiuram polysulfides in particular by the substantially quantitative yields and selectivities and by its high economy which derives above all from the fact that the reaction is carried out in a single stage without expensive auxiliaries and from the elimination of a purification step.
