Title: Variable disc drive cylinder recording system
Inventor: MALAKAPALLI KRISHNA RAMESHWARA
IPC: G11B19/02
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: A method to dynamically map known lower performing heads for disc drives in order to reduce the likelihood of expensive manufacturing rework being conducted on the entire drive. Using the head in a drive that is performing well or better than average, the method allows one to record more bits per density on that specific head. This is especially true where zone recording (300) is done, otherwise known as defining the recording density for a group of cylinders (310, 330, 350, 370). Frequency-adjusting of heads (lowering the recording frequency) within a cylinder allows for variable logical block addressing schemes that correspond to a user's preferred data accessing layout. Several tracks may be accessed, while others can be reserved for system data. The method described works particularly well in a headerless architecture environment. The performance of lower performing or "poor" heads can be improved.

Patent GB-2370401-A (GB)
Title: Speech recognition
Inventor: RIIS SOEREN
IPC: G10L15/08
Filed: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A speech recognition system uses a phoneme counter to determine the length of a word to be recognised. The result is used to split a lexicon into sublexicons containing only words which have the same or similar length to that of the word to be recognised, so restricting the search space significantly. In another aspect, a phoneme counter is used to estimate the number of phonemes in a word so that a transition bias can be calculated. This bias is applied to the transition probabilities between phoneme models in an HNN based recogniser to improve recognition performance for relatively short or long words.

Title: Noise-cancelling belt tension measuring device
Inventor: ODAI NOBUHIRO
IPC: G01L5/10
Filed: 2001-08-01
Abstract: A belt tension measuring device includes a sensor part 11 and a body part 12 electrically connected together. The sensor part 11 has two microphones 11b and 11c directed outward away from each other in diametrically opposite directions. A belt B stretched between two pulleys Pa and Pb is caused to vibrate. In this instance, the microphone 11b disposed close to and facing toward the belt B collects both the vibrating sound of the belt B and an ambient noise, while the microphone 11c disposed relatively far distant from and directed away from the belt B is insensitive to the vibrating sound of the belt B and collects the ambient noise only. An input from the microphone 11c is subtracted from an input from the microphone 11b to remove the ambient noise. A frequency of the vibrating sound is measured and displaced either directly or in the form of a belt tension calculated from the measured vibrating frequency. A belt-striking hammer (15, fig 2) is attached to the microphone assembly.
