Title: Method and apparatus imparting vibrations to bone
Inventor: MERSKY BARRY L
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1994-08-25
Abstract: Vibrations for application to hard living tissue, such as bones, teeth, etc., are derived from a magnetorestrictive element (20) disposed in a varying electro-magnetic field to create dimensional variations in the magnetorestrictive element (20). In an audiodontic vibrator for the hearing impaired, a magnetorestrictive rod (20) is disposed in the hollow core of an electromagnetic coil (17) through which current flows in response to acoustic signals. The resulting electromagnetic field in the core passes through the magnetorestrictive rod (20), causing small dimensional variations in the and (20) corresponding to amplitude variations in the field. An actuator (31) in contact with the rod extends from the housing and transmits the dimensional changes as low amplitude vibrations to the hard tissue via a bracket (41) mounted on a tooth (40) by an adhesive resin-based cement. The bracket (41) has a receiving channel (43) contoured to slidably and removably receive the distal end (37) of the actuator (31) in close fitting frictional relation.

Patent CA-2192397-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAHIM MAZIN G
IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 1996-12-09
Abstract: Speech recognition processing is compensated for improving robustness of speech recognition in the presence of enhanced speech signals. The compensation overcomes the adverse effects that speech signal enhancement may have on speech recognition performance where speech signal enhancement causes acoustical mismatches between recognition models trained using unenhanced speech signals and feature data extracted from enhanced speech signals. Compensation is provided at the front end of an automatic speech recognition system by combining linear predictive coding and mel-based cepstral parameter analysis for computing cepstral features of transmitted speech signals used for speech recognition processing by selectively weighting mel- filter banks when processing frequency domain representations of the enhanced speech signals.

Abstract: A mobile communication information terminal apparatus comprises: a portable housing; a radio portion for transmitting and receiving radio signals via a radio channel; a control portion which is provided in the housing and connected to the radio portion for transmitting and receiving communication information; and an operating portion which is provided in the housing for supplying communication information to the control portion by means of an operation from outside the housing. A storage device is provided in the housing for storing the communication information and an antenna attachment portion is provided on a surface of the housing. A helical antenna is provided in the antenna attachment portion and electrically connected to the radio portion. A touch pen antenna, comprising an electrical conductor portion having a predetermined length, is attached to the antenna attachment portion and extends along with a central axis of the helical antenna. A tip of the touch pen antenna is tapered like a pencil, i.e. to a point. The electrical conductor is connected electrically to the radio portion when the touch pen antenna is attached to the antenna attachment portion. The operating portion can be accessed from outside. Switching means normally connects the helical antenna to the radio portion when the touch pen antenna is not attached but switches to connect to the radio portion when the former is attached. Upon operation of the switching means, the control portion reads out communication information from the storage device and effects communication via the touch pen antenna.
