Abstract: A digital speech synthesis process in which utterances in a language are recorded, and the recorded utterances are divided into speech segments which are stored so as to allow their allocation to specific phonemes. A text which is to be output as speech is converted to a phoneme chain and the stored segments are output in a sequence defined by the phoneme chain. An analysis of the text to be output as speech is carried out and thus provides information which completes the phoneme chain and modifies the timing sequence signal for the speech segments which are to be strung together for output as speech. The process uses microsegments consisting of: segments for vowel halves and semi-vowels and extending as far as the vowel middle, and a second vowel half from the vowel middle to just before the vowel end; segments for quasi-stationary vowel components cut from the middle of a vowel; consonant segments beginning shortly before the front phoneme boundary and ending shortly before the rear phoneme boundary; and segments for vowel-vowel sequences cut from the middle of a vowel-vowel transition.

Abstract: A device for curling hair has a handle to which is attached a hair heating member 6 and a pressure member 8 for clamping the hair against the heating member. A generally arcuate styling edge 10 is provided in the region of the heating and/or pressure member. Hair is drawn across the edge to cause stretching of one side of the hair which causes curling. The hair may subsequently pass over a cooling member (30, Fig 3) to facilitate setting of the curls. The device may take the general form of a curling tong (Figs 5-12) having an elongate heater of generally elliptical section and provided with hair guiding ribs, the styling edge being provided on the edge of an elongate clamp which can engage the heater and is pivoted to the handle.

Abstract: An atomizer (50) for atomizing a liquid coolant (40), is positioned inside a sealed housing (20). The atomized liquid coolant (40) is distributed as a thin film over the surface of the heat generating components (30) and the wall of the sealed housing (20). Heat is transferred from the surface of the heat generating components (30) by vaporization of at least a portion of the thin film liquid coolant (40). The coolant vapor condenses on the housing (20) and other cool surfaces and returns to the liquid state. The system heat is then removed from the outer surfaces of the housing (20) using conventional heat transfer mechanisms (22).

Abstract: The high pressure gas supply stored on the front unit is connected to the engine in the rear unit by a high pressure hose system through the roof void in both vehicles and over the top of the articulated bellows connection. A slider (15) on the overhead support frame (5) carries a rigid V-section pipe connection (11) which is linked to the two high pressure rigid pipe sections (9,10) by flexible hoses (12,13). The V-connection is normally held away from the centre point (14) of the bellow connections and has a set amount of sliding freedom on the overhead frame as the vehicle flexes around bends and over road irregularities. The small amount of flexing of the hoses does not cause undue fatigue.

Abstract: A system for decoding a bar code symbol having a plurality of elements receives a signal representative of the symbol. The system searches the signal along a first search step (1228) to characterize the width of one of the elements (1206). The system then selects a second search step (1230) by projecting from the first search step onto a reference line (1226), where the reference line is not parallel to either the first or second search steps. The system then searches the signal along the second search step to characterize the width of another of the elements. A system for decoding a bar code symbol (1802) having at least three elements (1806, 1808, ... 1838) receives a signal representative of the symbol. The system characterizes a first set of two or more elements by searching the signal along a first search step (1840). The system also characterizes a second set of two or more elements by searching the signal along a second search step (1842), where the first set and the second set have an element in common and where the first and second search steps are not collinear. The system characterizes the common element using the first and second characterizations. <IMAGE>
