Title: Leg restraint
Inventor: MEYER PAUL ARTHUR ROLAND
IPC: A61F5/01
Filed: 1987-03-04
Abstract: An orthopaedic device which is suitable for the treatment or prevention of subluxation or dislocation of the hip joint is described. The device comprises a waist band (11), two thigh bandes (16,17) and two leg bars (14,15). Each leg bar (14,15) is attached at one end to a thigh band (16,17) which is free to rotate about an axis which is perpendicular to the leg bar (14, 15). The other end of each leg bar (14,15) is rotatably held in a pivot (12, 13) attached to the waist band (11). Each pivot (12,13) is capable of being inclined downwards with respect to the plane of the waist band (11). The spacial relationship of the axis of the pivot (12, 13) and the distal end of the leg bar (14, 15) is such that the device operates by maintaining the legs of the wearer in abduction that is appropriate to the extent of hip flexion by altering the separation of the legs in a smooth and controlled way during hip flexion.

Title: System for speech recognition
IPC: G10L15/02
Filed: 1979-05-04
Granted: 1983-01-12
Abstract: A system and method for speech recognition provides a means of printing phonemes in response to received speech signals utilizing inexpensive components. The speech signals are inputted into an amplifier which provides negative feedback to normalize the amplitude of the speech signals. The normalized speech signals are delta modulated at a first sampling rate to produce a corresponding first sequence of digital pulses. The negative feedback signal of the amplifier is delta modulated at a second sampling rate to produce a second sequence of digital pulses corresponding to amplitude information of the speech signals. The speech signals are filtered and utilized to produce a digital pulse corresponding to high frequency components of the speech signals having magnitudes in excess of a threshold voltage. A microprocessor contains an algorithm for detecting major slope transitions of the analog speech signals in response to the first sequence of digital signals by detecting information corresponding to presence and absence of predetermined numbers of successive slope reversals in the delta modulator producing the first sequence of digital pulses. The algorithm computes cues from the high frequency digital pulse and the second sequence of pulses. The algorithm computes a plurality of speech waveform characteristic ratios of time intervals between various slope transitions and compares the speech waveform characteristic ratios with a plurality of stored phoneme ratios representing a set of phonemes to detect matching therebetween. The order of comparing is determined on the basis of the cues and a configuration of a phoneme decision tree contained in the algorithm. When a matching occurs, a signal corresponding to the matched phoneme is produced and utilized to cause the phoneme to be printed. In one embodiment of the invention, the speech signals are produced by the earphone of a standard telephone headset.

Title: Method of coding and decoding messages
IPC: H04L9/18
Filed: 1981-01-30
Granted: 1984-04-04
Abstract: Method of coding and decoding messages wherein a basic key and a random message key, which is transmitted prior to the message, are used. Using a plurality of basic keys entails the problem that the proper basic key must be set in the receiving station. In accordance with the present method, the sequence of a portion (II) of the message key and of a number of check characters derived therefrom are coded, prior to the actual message transmission, using the basic key and a different portion (I) of the message key. Decoding in the receiving station is done by using a basic key which is chosen from a group of basic keys, and the different portion (I) of the message key. A test circuit 21 examines whether the decoded check characters correspond to the check characters derived in the receiving station from the decoded portion (II) of the message key. A positive test result indicates that the desired basic key has been found.
