Abstract: Maintaining dynamic categories for speech rules in a speech recognition system which has a plurality of speech rules each comprising a language model and action. Each speech rule indicates whether the language model includes a flag identifying whether the words in the language model is dynamic according to changing data in the speech recognition system. At periodic intervals, such as system initialization or application program launch time, for each flag in each speech rule which indicates that words in the language model are dynamic, the words of each of the language model(s) are updated depending upon the state of the system. Concurrent with the determination of acoustic features during speech recognition, a current language model can be created based upon the language models from these speech rules. Also, speech rules are partitioned according to the context in which they are active. When speech is detected, concurrent with acoustic feature extraction, the current state of the computer system is used to determine which rules are active and how they are to be combined in order to generate a language model for word recognition. Also, partitioning speech recognition rules for generation of a current language model and interpretation in a speech recognition system is described. Rapid and efficient generation of a language model upon the detection of a current context at a second interval (e.g. upon the detection of speech in one embodiment) then may be performed.

Abstract: En utilisant un cryostat à l'hélium, la température d'une plaquette de substrat est réduite à 2,2 Kelvin pendant 24 heures. Un palier maintient la température de la plaquette de substrat à 2,2 Kelvin pendant 96 heures. A de telles températures, des alliages tels que GaAs, InP, et GaP forment des moments moléculaires dipolaires qui se réalignent le long de lignes de forces magnétiques internes alors que les liaisons moléculaires condensent. La température de la plaquette de substrat est augmentée progressivement jusqu'à la température ambiante sur une période de 24 heures. La température de la plaquette de substrat est augmentée progressivement afin de s'assurer que les gradients de température qui peuvent exister au sein de celle-ci sont maintenus à un bas niveau. En particulier, une montée de température de trempe se situe entre 300° F et 1100° F et dépend du matériau monocristallin utilisé pour construire la plaquette de substrat. La plaquette de substrat subit un palier de trempe, qui assure que la plaquette de substrat entière a bénéficié de la température de trempe.

Title: A method and system for automatically configuring an ipsec-based virtual private network
Inventor: KIELSTRA ALLEN HENRY
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2009-10-16
Abstract: A method and system for automatically configuring an IPsec-based Virtual Private Network. Each node in the Virtual Private Network is configured as an IPsec peer node and maintains a Security Policy Database (SPD) that includes information about the data flow between each pair of networks known to the node. An advertisement packet is distributed whenever a node detects a new network connected to the node, a change in its network configuration or in the list of trusted networks known to the node. If the advertisement concerns a new network, then the receiving node adds the new network to its SPD if it is not already in the SPD. The receiving node also updates its SPD with the network path between the new network and the sending node if the network path is shorter than what is currently in the database. If the advertisement concerns a new host in a trusted network connected to the sending node, then the new host name is added to the list of known host names maintained by the receiving node.
