Abstract: A method for noise-robust speech processing with cochlea filters within a computer system is disclosed. This invention provides a method for producing feature vectors from a segment of speech, that is more robust to variations in the environment due to additive noise. A first output is produced by convolving (50) a speech signal input with spatially dependent impulse responses that resemble cochlea filters. The temporal transient and the spatial transient of the first output is then enhanced by taking a time derivative (52) and a spatial derivative (54), respectively, of the first output to produce a second output. Next, all the negative values of the second output are replaced (56) with zeros. A feature vector is then obtained (58) from each frame of the second output by a multiple resolution extraction. The parameters for the cochlea filters are finally optimized by minimizing the difference between a feature vector generated from a relatively noise-free speech signal input and a feature vector generated from a noisy speech signal input.

Ces processus comprennent l'implantation d'ions et la formation d'une couche (40, 42, 44) de support oxydé sous la masse étalon, le collage intégral des deux structures complémentaires que sont la masse étalon (62) et le substrat, puis l'élimination de la couche (40, 42, 44) de support oxydé pour ne laisser que la masse étalon (62) supportée par la charnière (67) à l'intérieur du corps en silicium (12). Dans un processus de collage suivi d'une attaque chimique, on traite la tranche (532), on la scie en deux puis on recolle ensemble les deux moitiés complémentaires pour obtenir l'accéléromètre achevé. Pendant la fabrication de la tranche composite (900), on monte cette dernière (900) dans une centrifugeuse (902) et on la fait tourner pour éliminer l'agent d'attaque chimique.

Un filtre généralement plan, qui est disposé à l'intérieur de la chambre d'échappement, est situé à distance de la paroi arrière de l'habitacle de façon à définir une chambre de répartition d'air. La paroi arrière de l'habitacle est incurvée de telle sorte que la chambre de répartition d'air soit conique et exerce une pression uniforme à la surface du filtre. Ce système est conçu pour reposer sur le sol ou pour être fixé, soit verticalement soit horizontalement, à une paroi. Ledit système comporte en outre un mécanisme de commande qui lui permet de fonctionner à vitesse maximale pendant une période de temps préétablie puis de revenir automatiquement à son régime précédent.
