Patent EP-1479070-A1 (EP)
Inventor: THELEN ERIC
IPC: G06F17/22
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the transcription of spoken and written utterances. To this end, the utterances undergo speech or text recognition, and the recognition result (ME) is combined with a manually created transcription (MT) of the utterances in order to obtain the transcription. The additional information rendered usable by the combination as a result of the recognition result (ME) enables the transcriber to work relatively roughly and therefore quickly on the manual transcription. When using a keyboard ( 25 ), he can, for example, restrict himself to hitting the keys of only one row and/or can omit some keystrokes completely. In addition, the manual transcribing can also be accelerated by the suggestion of continuations ( 31 ) to the text input so far ( 30 ), which continuations are anticipated by virtue of the recognition result (ME).

Abstract: L'invasion porte sur un procédé d'effacement d'une mémoire flash. Dans un dispositif à mémoire flash possédant plusieurs secteurs, une pluralité de secteurs sont sélectionnés pour être effacés (810). Un sous-ensemble de secteurs est sélectionné (815) et une impulsion d'effacement est appliquée simultanément sur tous les secteurs dudit sous-ensemble (820). Après application de cette impulsion d'effacement ayant une valeur de tension initiale, au moins un secteur du sous-ensemble est vérifié (825). S'il y au moins une cellule non effacée dans le secteur vérifié, la tension d'effacement est ajustée (830) et une autre impulsion d'effacement est appliquée sur le sous-ensemble de secteurs (820). L'ajustement de la tension d'effacement peut être fonction du nombre de fois qu'une impulsion d'effacement a été appliquée sur le sous-ensemble. Ce cycle est répété sur le sous-ensemble jusqu'à ce que l'effacement du secteur sélectionné ait été vérifié. Après vérification d'un secteur, le cycle effacement/vérification est appliqué sur un ou plusieurs des autres secteurs du sous-ensemble jusqu'à la vérification de l'effacement de chacun de ces secteurs. Après l'effacement de tous les secteurs du sous-ensemble, la tension d'effacement est remise à sa valeur initiale (840) et un autre sous-ensemble de secteurs est sélectionné pour être effacé/vérifié tel que précité (815). Le processus peut être répété jusqu'à ce que tous les secteurs de la mémoire du dispositif aient été effacés (850). Un dispositif à mémoire flash à logique intégrée peut être utilisé pour exécuter ce procédé.

Abstract: A method for sampling of streaming data (Figure 1) for distribution on a network (e.g., the Internet) includes receiving the streaming data (which includes periodically updated information items) from a streaming data source (120). The periodically updated information items of the streaming data are subsequently sampled using a sampling process based on a total update rate of the streaming data (Ua) and a capacity of the network (C), thereby creating a sampled data stream. Alternatively, the periodically updated information items of the streaming data can be sampled using a sampling process that is also based on the importance (Kqmin) of each of the periodically updated information items and the update rate (Uq) of each of the periodically updated information items to create the sampled data stream. The sampled data stream is then distributed on the network (e.g., the Internet or a private area network).

Abstract: A first scheduler 152 carries out scheduling deciding a
destination apparatus based on radio line quality prediction results
from a radio line quality prediction section 107. A second scheduler
153 carries out scheduling on a time slot to which a packet to be
retransmitted is assigned by the first scheduler 152, based on the
radio line quality prediction results from the radio line quality
prediction section 107 and the scheduling results of the first
scheduler 152. A transmission control section 155 controls a
transmission queue 156, an error correction encoding section 158 and
a modulation section 159, in accordance with the scheduling results
of the first scheduler 152 when a signal is an ACK signal, and in
accordance with the scheduling results of the second scheduler 153
when the signal is a NACK signal. In this way, even when a transmitted
packet is correctly demodulated, other packet can be transmitted in
the time slot to which a packet to be retransmitted is assigned, so
that decrease in the transmission rate can be prevented.

Abstract: A bulk silicon carbide single crystal of good crystalline quality which includes
a minimized number of structural defects and is free from micropipe defects can be
produced by crystal growth in a melt of an alloy comprising Si, C, and M (wherein M
is either Mn or Ti) and having an atomic ratio between Si and M in which the value
of x, when expressed as Si 1-x Mi x , is 0.1 ≤x≤0.7 in the case where M is Mn or
0.1 ≤x≤0.25 in the case where M is Ti at a temperature of the melt which is below
2000°C. The C component is preferably supplied into the melt by dissolution of a
graphite crucible which contains the melt such that the melt is free from undissolved
C. The crystal growth can be performed either by cooling the melt after a seed
substrate is immersed in the melt or by forming a temperature gradient in the melt and
immersing a seed substrate in a lower temperature region of the temperature gradient.

Abstract: Techniques for avoiding handoff to a channel impaired due to frequency dependent fading, while minimizing idle mode signaling are disclosed. In one aspect, an access terminal determines the assigned channel on an access point and caches the channel. In another aspect, the access terminal replaces a default channel associated with an access point in a cache with the assigned channel. In yet another aspect, the access terminal uses the cached channel associated with an access point when measuring channel quality of neighbor access points for use in handoff determination. In yet another aspect, the access terminal hands off to the cached channel of a neighbor access point during handoff. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of factoring in frequency dependent channel characteristics when making handoff decisions, thus avoiding handoff to an access point where the assigned channel may be impaired.

Abstract: Relief system of water-heater and hydraulic system, whereby the cold water inflow pipe (11) is placed above the water flow level of the water-heater (14) at which spot a multiple-­relief valve (17) is fitted which introduces atmospheric air in case of a pressure drop in the network below atmospheric pressure, thus maintain water fullness in the water-heater, while at the same time allowing the relief of overpressure in the water-heater when it exceeds certain limits. Then, the water supply is directed towards the bottom of the water-heater through the single-pipe connection. The multiple-relief valve is fitted at a spot on the water inflow network, located above the upper water level (14) in the water-heater. The membrane valve (29) opens when the pressure exceeds the pressure safety levels and relieves the system. The air inflow valve (37) opens when there is a drop in the network pressure, thus preventing water-heater depletion. The benefits of this invention regards the 100% protection offered against overpressure in the water-heater, due to the communicating vessels effect and the prevention of the water-heater depletion, that may have uncontrollable and disastrous consequences. Also there is no valve or spring neither in the inlet nor the outlet of water, thus excluding all possibility of salt-formation and obstruction of its operation.

The SIM (12) can be authenticated by the telephone network, in the same way as for authenticating SIMs of telephone handset users in the network, and can in this way authenticate the user of the PC (10) or the PC (10) itself. Such authentication can, for example, permit use of the PC (10) for a time-limited session in relation to a particular application which is released to the PC (10) after the authentication is satisfactorily completed. The application may be released to the PC (10) by a third party after and in response to the satisfactory completion of the authentication process. A charge for the session can be debited to the user by the telecommunications network and then passed on to the third party. The dongle (30) provides additional security for the authentication data stored on the SIM by requiring a PIN to be entered and/or by only being responsive to requests received from the PC (10) which are encrypted using a key, which requests are generated by a special PC interface driver (38). The PIN may be stored only temporarily. The dongle (30) has an electrical connector (34), and means may be provided for selectively rendering the connector (34) available for coupling to the PC (10).
