Title: Networking smart toys
Inventor: DUREAU VINCENT
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: A system and method for reprogramming a device using programming data that is transmitted over a broadcast network. In one embodiment, a smart toy works cooperatively with an interactive television system to provide an easy-to-use means for reprogramming the toy. The interactive television system has a broadcast station that transmits a carousel of data modules over a unidirectional broadcast link to a group of receiving stations. A radio frequency (RF) transceiver in the receiving station and a corresponding transceiver in the toy provide a bidirectional communications link communicates over which the data modules are transmitted from the receiving station to the toy. The data modules (e.g., data files or application code) are used to reprogram the smart toy. Particular ones of the data modules are selected, either manually or by filtering them according to user preferences, and the toy is reprogrammed with the selected modules. The user preferences can be explicitly entered or they can be constructed by the system according to the use of the toy. The toy can serve as an input device for uploading user preferences or other data to the receiving station or broadcast station. The receiving station can transmit signals to the toy, which can then provide notifications or cues to a user.

Abstract: A method for detecting intrusion in a database,
managed by an access control system, comprising defining
at least one intrusion detection profile, each comprising
at least one item access rate and associating each user
with one of said profiles. Further, the method determines
whether a result of a query exceeds any one of the item
access rates defined in the profile associated with the
user, and, in that case, notifies the access control
system to alter the user authorization, thereby making
the received request an unauthorized request, before said
result is transmitted to the user. 
     The method allows for a real time prevention of
intrusion by letting the intrusion detection process
interact directly with the access control system, and
change the user authority dynamically as a result of the
detected intrusion.

Title: Method and system for enhancing speech in a noisy environment
Inventor: VETTER ROLF
IPC: G10L21/0208
Filed: 2001-04-27
Abstract: There is described a method and system for enhancing speech in a noisy
environment. The method operates on a frame-to-frame basis and preferably uses a
Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to transform time-domain components of an input
signal into frequency-domain components. The speech enhancement method is
essentially based on a subspace approach in the so-called Bark-domain and an
optimal subspace selection using a Minimum Description Length (MDL) criterion. 
     The MDL-based subspace selection leads to a partition of the multi -
dimensional space of noisy data into a noise subspace, a signal subspace and a
signal-plus-noise subspace. The enhanced signal is reconstructed by applying the
inverse transform to the components of the signal subspace and weighted
components of the signal-plus-noise subspace, the noise subspace being nulled
during this reconstruction. 
     The resulting enhancement method provides maximum noise reduction while
minimizing signal distortions such as the so-called musical residual noise encountered
with conventional subtractive-type enhancement methods.

belt. The rods (60) are then moved back into position for receiving more sheets to form
another bundle and the drop table (40) signals the sheet feeding machine (20) to send more
sheets to the collection box (45). The collection box may have a vibrating jogger (130) to align
the sheets into a squared bundle on one axis and a tamping foot (142) to align the sheets into
a squared bundle on a second axis. The drop table (40) can accumulate sheets in a squared
