Abstract: There is hereinafter provided a reciprocating/ oscillating structure for use in a fishing
reel, wherein the guide carries a guide slot within it that is asymmetric in shape, and that
creates two separate spool movement velocity regimes as the spool is moved forward and
backward during recall of fishing line into the reel. The guide slot of the instant invention is
asymmetrically constructed to produce, in a two-cycle-type spool movement arrangement,
one spool velocity profile in the forward direction and a different spool velocity function in
the rearward direction. In the preferred embodiment, the two velocity profiles (asymmetries
of the guide) will be chosen to be complementary in the sense that imperfections in the
velocity function in one direction can be compensated for to some extent during movement in
the second cycle.

Abstract: A sense amplifier capable of performing high-speed
data sense operation with lower power consumption using a
minuscule signal from a memory cell even in a case where
a memory array voltage is reduced. A plurality of drive
switches for over-driving are distributively arranged in
a sense amplifier area, and a plurality of drive switches
for restore operation are concentratively disposed at one
end of a row of the sense amplifiers. A potential for
over-driving is supplied using a meshed power line circuit.
Through the use of the drive switches for over-driving,
initial sense operation can be performed on data line pairs
with a voltage having an amplitude larger than a data-line
amplitude, allowing implementation of high-speed sense
operation. The distributed arrangement of the drive
switched for over-driving makes it possible to dispersively
supply current in sense operation, thereby reducing a
difference in sense voltage with respect to far and near
positions of the sense amplifiers.

Abstract: Live virus vaccines comprise attenuated viruses, while other vaccines comprise killed viruses or parts thereof. It has now been found that the immune response induced by oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), which is a live vaccine, is cross-reactive with non-polio enteroviruses. OPV is therefore useful in the prevention of non-polio enterovirus diseases, especially Type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM). OPV is also useful in combination with killed/subunit non-polio enterovirus vaccines, whereby it prevents harmful side-effects of the killed/subunit vaccine by shifting the immune response from a harmful Th2- type response to a Th1 type response.

Abstract: A voicing probability determination method is provided for estimating a percentage of unvoiced and voiced energy for each harmonic within each of a plurality of bands of a speech signal spectrum. Initially, a synthetic speech spectrum is generated based on the assumption that speech is purely voiced. The original and synthetic speech spectra are then divided into plurality of bands. The synthetic and original speech spectra are compared harmonic by harmonic, and a voicing determination is made based on this comparison. In one embodiment, each harmonic of the original speech spectrum is assigned a voicing decision as either completely voiced or unvoiced by comparing the difference with an adaptive threshold. If the difference for each harmonic is less than the adaptive threshold, the corresponding harmonic is declared as voiced; otherwise the harmonic is declared as unvoiced. The voicing probability for each band is then computed based on the amount of energy in the voiced harmonics in that decision band. Alternatively, the voicing probability for each band is determined based on a signal to noise ratio for each of the bands which is determined based on the collective differences between the original and synthetic speech spectra within the band.
