Patent CA-2609247-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FISSORE LUCIANO
IPC: G10L17/14
Filed: 2005-05-24
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automatic dual-step, text~ independent, language-independent speaker voice-print creation and speaker recognition method, wherein a neural network-based technique is used in a first step and a Markov model-based technique is used in the second step. In particular, the first step uses a neural network-based technique for decoding the content of what is uttered by the speaker in terms of language~ independent acoustic-phonetic classes, wherein the second step uses the sequence of language-independent acoustic-phonetic classes from the first step and employs a Markov model-based technique for creating the speaker voice-print and for recognizing the speaker. The combination of the two steps enables improvement in the accuracy and efficiency of the speaker voice-print creation and of the speaker recognition, without setting any constraints on the lexical content of the speaker utterance and on the language thereof.

Title: Method of using a thermal plasma to produce a functionally graded composite surface layer on metals
Inventor: STORM ROGER S
IPC: B23K15/00
Filed: 2007-04-17
Abstract: A method of material treatment in which the surface of a metal substrate is converted to a composite structure of the metal and its nitride or carbide utilizing a high temperature chemically active thermal plasma stream, and the product obtained from that method. The complex thermal plasma contains controllable additions of active gas, liquid or solid substances. The surface layer obtained is functionally graded to the substrate resulting in an excellent bond that resists delamination and spalling, and provides a significant increase in hardness, wear and erosion resistance, and corrosion resistance, and a decrease in coefficient of friction.

Patent CA-2631040-A1 (CA)
Title: Website affiliation analysis method and system
Inventor: LANGSHUR ALEX
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2008-05-09
Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for determining an affiliation of visitors to a web-site under scrutiny is disclosed, having a log analyzer, a filter updater, and optionally, one or more affiliation lookup modules and a report creator. The log analyzer accepts and processes log data information relating to visitor traffic at the web-site under scrutiny, such as may be compiled by a conventional web data logger. The log analyzer subjects each log data entry to a series of cascading stakeholder filters, each of which may contain certain constituent filter criteria. If one of the criteria is satisfied by the log data entry, the entry is affiliated or associated with the corresponding stakeholder and stored in a database in association with such stakeholder. If the log data entry is not affiliated with any of the stakeholder filters, it is relegated to a remainder bin for processing by the filter updater. The filter updater attempts to generate filter criteria to trap the log data entry and stores such criteria in one of the stakeholder filters. The choice of stakeholder filter is governed by an affiliation identification exercise which may involve invocation of one or more of the affiliation lookup modules. Preferably, the affiliation identification exercise is facilitated by identification of a domain name corresponding to the IP address maintained in the log data entry. Preferably, the filter updating process operates in parallel with the processing of the log data entries. Further, advantageously, affiliation identification exercises in a first system may provide assistance in affiliation identification in a second system by cross-pollination.

A primary layer model, secondary and tertiary layer models are constructed based on portions of the wave model frequencies. An optimized wave model is constructed by combining the primary, secondary, and tertiary layer models. A wave surface point location is determined within the given area. A wave height value is computed for the wave surface point location using the optimized wave model. The wave height value that is associated with the surface point location is stored.
