Patent NO-996022-D0 (NO)
Inventor: CECCAROLI BRUNO
IPC: H01L31/18
Filed: 1999-12-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for purification of metallurgical grade silicon where a calcium containing compound is added to molten silicon prior to or after the silicon is tapped from the furnace. The silicon is cast and solidified at a relatively high cooling rate and the solidified silicon is crushed and subjected to a purification process consisting of two leaching steps. In the first leaching step the silicon is treated with an aqueous solution of FeCl3 or FeCl3 and HCl which causes disintegration of the silicon, and in the second leaching step the silicon is treated with an aqueous solution of HF or HF/HNO3. Calcium-containing compound is added to the molten silicon in an amount necessary to provide between 0.3 and 0.95% by weight of calcium in the molten silicon and the weight ratio between Al and Fe in the molten silicon is regulated to between 0.5 and 2.0 by addition of aluminum to the molten silicon.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB91/01681 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 5, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 5, 1993 PCT Filed Sep. 30, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/06468 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 16, 1992.Speaker verification is important in such applications as financial transactions which are to be carried out automatically by telephone. False acceptances of a speaker cause serious problems but so do frequent false rejections in view of the annoyance caused. Some of the problems of speaker verification are reduced in the invention by forming Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for each of a number of words using features of utterances of these words from a large number of speakers. These models are known as world models. In addition, for every person whose speech is to be recognized, one HMM is formed for each of the words as uttered by that person. These models are known as personal models. In verification, a person is prompted to repeat a string of isolated or connected words (15) and features from each of these words are extracted (16). Next, the probabilities that these features could have been generated by the world models for these words and by the personal model of that person are calculated, respectively (17 and 18) and these probabilities are compared (19) for each word. A decision (23) on verification is based on a poll (22) of these comparisons.

Title: A method of operating a communications system,a communications system and a secondary station for use in the system
IPC: H04M1/72516
Filed: 1990-12-14
Abstract: A communications system, such as DECT, comprises a plurality of geographically separate primary (or fixed) stations (PS) and a plurality of secondary (or portable) stations (SS) which are able to roam relative to the primary stations. Communication between the primary and secondary stations is by way of any one of a plurality of TDD radio channels. A primary station when idle transmits an idle beacon signal onto which an idle primary station can lock by scanning the radio channels. However a secondary station which has roamed out of coverage range of the primary stations can save battery power by progressively increasing to a maximum time value the time interval between successive scans. <IMAGE>

Such a turbine can be constructed to operate efficiently with a low head of water, and is additionally of simple construction and therefore inexpensive to produce.

Title: Method of and apparatus for interferometrically inspecting a surface of an object
IPC: G01N21/45
Filed: 1992-06-22
Abstract: This invention provides apparatus for and a method of interferometrically inspecting a surface of an object. The invention is particularly well suited for inspecting semiconductor devices in the sub-micron range. A two beam interference microscope (102) obtains an image of an object (100) which is mounted on a piezo controlled sample table (104) and illuminated using a broadband light source. A CCD camera (100) obtains an image and the image is processed by using information derived from the interference fringes. The advantage is that large step heights can be measured and that a priori knowledge of the surface is not required. The invention can be adapted so that it can be used to simultaneously inspect and analyse an object, the latter being achieved by utilising data derived from a characteristic phase and/or spectral variation occurring in reflected light. This data can be manipulated mathematically e.g. by a Fourier Transform.

Title: Casino table game
IPC: A63F3/00
Filed: 1997-08-26
Abstract: The present invention provides a dice game having a horse-racing theme which includes a number of horses in the race the number of which corresponds to the number of sides of a single die. In play, preferably 3 dice are used. When a number representing a horse is rolled by any of the dice used, that horse is moved a distance referred to as a "furlong." If the horse's number appears on more than one die in a single roll, then the horse is moved a comparable number of furlongs. For example, if 3 dice are used and the numbers 6-6-2 are rolled, the number 2 horse moves 1 furlong, while the number 6 horse moves 2 furlongs. Thus, each horse begins a race with equal odds of winning, and each horse must go the same distance in order to complete the race. The present invention provides for standard horse racing wagers on the eventual outcome of the race, such as win, place, and show. The present invention further provides for a series of wagers, referred to as "betting-in-running," which can be placed on the outcome of each roll of the dice.

Title: Multimedia multiplexing method
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: A multiplexing method for multimedia communication is provided, which is compatible with the H.223 protocol by changing a header of a multiplex protocol data unit (MUX-PDU). The multiplexing method includes the steps of encoding media data, and multiplexing the media data encoded in the step (a) in units of a predetermined frame, and inserting a second flag having a predetermined length with an auto-correlation into the frame after a first flag representing the opening and closing of the frame. Therefore, the probability of detecting the MUX-PDU by a receiver is increased by adding a flag having a high auto-correlation to the H. 223 MUX-PDU frame, thereby increasing error-resiliency.
