Title: Method of noise estimation using incremental bayes learning
Inventor: DROPPO JAMES G
IPC: G10L21/02
Filed: 2004-03-15
Abstract: A method and apparatus estimate additive noise in a noisy signal using incremental Bayes learning, where a time-varying noise prior distribution is assumed and hyperparameters (mean and variance) are updated recursively using an approximation for posterior computed at the preceding time step. The additive noise in time domain is represented in the log-spectrum or cepstrum domain before applying incremental Bayes learning. The results of both the mean and variance estimates for the noise for each of separate frames are used to perform speech feature enhancement in the same log- spectrum or cepstrum domain.

Abstract: A method of cleaning a potable or non potable water distribution piping system is described. A section of pipe to be cleaned of deposited sediments incrusted on an inner wall thereof is identified and isolated by closing valves leading to service conduits. Two fire hydrants are identified which are connected to the section of pipe to be cleaned and an air compressor is connected to a nozzle of one of these hydrants. A reservoir containing a sediment dislodging product is connected to another hydrant nozzle of that fire hydrant. One of the valves in the vicinity of the fire hydrant to which the air compressor is connected is open to create a minimal water flow. The nozzle of the other fire hydrant is opened and the compressor is operated to inject air under pressure inside the section of pipe to be cleaned. Simultaneously, the sediment dislodging product is injected into the pipe section to be cleaned through the fire hydrant. The water turbulating through the section of pipe to be cleaned is flushed by opening a nozzle of the other fire hydrant.
