Abstract: A method of operating a speech dialogue system ( 1 ) is described. For controlling the dialogue for selecting one of various services ( 9, 10 ) of the dialogue system ( 1 ) by the user, a database ( 6 ) is used which has a hierarchical data structure (DS) with a plurality of nodes (K) and a plurality of paths (P) for interconnection of the nodes (K) and for connecting the nodes (K) to service objects (D) which are arranged at a respective end of the path (P). The service objects (D) represent the services available ( 9, 10 ). The nodes (K) represent respective categories in which further categories and/or the services classified thereunder are arranged. At least to part of these service objects (D) and/or nodes (K) leads a plurality of paths (P). To each node (K) and each service object (D) is furthermore assigned at least one keyword (S). Search words are extracted from a spoken entry of the user and on the basis of the search words a number of candidate nodes (K) and/or candidate service objects (D) is sought, whose assigned keywords (S) match the search words in accordance with a predefined acceptance criterion. The search method is executed in various search steps until the number of candidate nodes (K) and/or candidate service objects (D) is situated above a predefined minimum number and below a predefined maximum number. Then a speech output menu is generated and the categories represented by the candidate nodes (K) and/or candidate service objects (D) found and/or services ( 9, 10 ) are announced. In addition, a respective speech dialogue system ( 1 ) is described.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing the separator
for a fuel cell that is suitable for mass production and that by separating
the compression-molding process of pressing a precursor powder comprising
carbon powder and thermosetting resin with a press from the resin-setting
process of setting the thermosetting resin by applying heat, is capable
of increasing the production rate of the expensive press, while at the same
time decreasing the production cost. 
     The fuel-cell separator is produced by a compression-molding process
in which a mixture of carbon powder and thermosetting resin is used as the
precursor powder, and in which a press is used to apply pressure to the
precursor powder that has been placed in a die and mold it into a molded
plate having a separator shape; and a resin-setting process in which the
molded plate formed in the compression-molding process is heated in a
heating apparatus such as an oven to set the thermosetting resin.
