Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un ensemble convertisseur A/N qui sert à convertir un signal d'entrée analogique haute fréquence en une série de signaux numériques en ligne avec une vitesse d'échantillonnage élevée. Cet ensemble convertisseur comprend plusieurs canaux de calcul fournissant un signal numérique à partir d'une entrée analogique et comprenant chacun un échantillonneur-bloqueur, auquel est connecté le signal d'entrée analogique, un multiplexeur (3) ayant plusieurs entrées, dont chacune est connectée à une sortie de canal de calcul séparée, ainsi qu'un circuit de synchronisation (4) qui commande cycliquement, à la vitesse des signaux d'horloge et dans un ordre prescrit, un seul échantillonneur-bloqueur à la fois parmi la pluralité des échantillonneurs bloqueurs, afin de conserver la valeur analogique courante du signal d'entrée analogique et également afin de commander le multiplexeur (3) pour placer sur sa sortie une seule sortie numérique à la fois parmi les sorties numériques de la pluralité des canaux de calcul. Tous les canaux de calcul calculent la valeur numérique de la valeur analogique conservée dans son échantillonneur-bloqueur pendant une phase de numérisation de façon simultanée mais avec un décalage par rapport aux autres canaux de calcul. Chaque canal de calcul (1.1 à 1.k+n; CAN-AS) comporte un échantillonneur-bloqueur (5), auquel est connecté le signal d'entrée analogique, et au moins un convertisseur analogique/numérique à approximations successives (CAN-AS). On prévoit un générateur de tension de référence commun (2) ayant une sortie multiligne comportant une tension de référence différente sur chaque ligne de la sortie multiligne.

Abstract: A disc body (1) is placed so as to overlap an atomization region (A), which has a substantially circular cross section, of an ultrafine particle generating nozzle (10) adapted to atomize a film-forming agent, and the film-forming agent is applied as the disc body (1) is turned around the center thereof. Peripheral portions of the disc body (1) pass the inner part of the atomization region, where the density of atomized particles is higher, but the deposition rate of the particles per unit area is lower because those portions pass relatively fast. On the other hand, the inner portions of the disc body pass the outer part of the atomization region where the density of atomized particles is lower, but the deposition rate of the particles per unit area is higher because those portions pass relatively slow. Accordingly, the quantity of the fine particles deposited on the disc body (1) is rendered uniform in the radial direction thereof.

Abstract: An electrophotographic color printer exposes a photosensitive body (255,255B) to form an exposure pattern thereon. Toner material of two different colors is then applied to the exposure pattern by developers (273). The toner materials are subsequently transferred to a recording medium (300) and fixed thereon. The toner materials are applied to the photosensitive body so that each of the two colors of toner materials have regions of two different thicknesses so they will have different thicknesses when applied to the recording medium (300). When two of the thicker regions are adjacent, the fixing of the toner materials will cause the toner materials of the two regions to mix. Thus, if the two adjacent thicker regions are of different colors, a third color will be produced. Toner material of further colors may also be transferred to the recording medium (300), by applying further toner materials to the same or another photosensitive body (255B,265) using further developers (283,284).

Abstract: A method of making a speech recognition model database is disclosed. The database is formed based on a training string utterance signal and a plurality of sets of current speech recognition models. The sets of current speech recognition models may include acoustic models, language models, and other knowledge sources. In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the invention, a set of confusable string models is generated, each confusable string model comprising speech recognition models from two or more sets of speech recognition models (such as acoustic and language models). A first scoring signal is generated based on the training string utterance signal and a string model for that utterance, wherein the string model for the utterance comprises speech recognition models from two or more sets of speech recognition models. One or more second scoring signals are also generated, wherein a second scoring signal is based on the training string utterance signal and a confusable string model. A misrecognition signal is generated based on the first scoring signal and the one or more second scoring signals. Current speech recognition models are modified, based on the misrecognition signal to increase the probability that a correct string model will have a rank order higher than other confusable string models. The confusable string models comprise  N -best word string models. The first recognizer scoring signal reflects a measure of similarity between the training string utterance signal and the string model for that utterance. The second recognizer scoring signal reflects a measure of similarity between the training string utterance signal and a confusable string model. The misrecognition signal reflects a difference of the first scoring signal and a combination of one or more second scoring signals. The modification of current speech recognition models is accomplished by generating a recognition model modification signal according to a gradient of a function, which function reflects a recognizer score of a training string utterance based on a string model for that utterance and one or more recognizer scores of the training string utterance based on one or more confusable string models.

Abstract: An ink jet printhead cartridge (10) comprising an enclosed cartridge body (12) for storing a liquid ink supply, a thin film resistor structure (24) having a plurality of resistive heater elements thereon in contact with the fluid ink supply, and a flexible interconnect circuit (58) having orifices (154, 156) formed therein attached to the resistor structure by means of a layer of conductive adhesive. The layer of conductive adhesive (72) is made of a polymeric compound having dispersed particulates of a conductive material therein to form a electrical connection between the flexible interconnect and the resistor structure when the flexible interconnect is brought into contact with the resistor structure. The conductive adhesive is cured under controlled temperature and pressure to form a permanent conductive bond between the resistor structure and the flexible interconnect circuit. The orifices are formed in the flexible interconnect circuit by laser milling the flexible interconnect material to conically shaped orifices in the flexible interconnect circuit aligned with the resistive heater elements, thereby eliminating a separate orifice plate.
