Abstract: In a method of extracting voice components free of noise components from voice signals input through a single microphone, a signal-decomposing unit extracts independent signal components from the voice signals input through a single microphone by using a plurality of filters that permit the passage of signal components of different frequency bands. A signal-synthesizing unit synthesizes the signal components according to a first rule to form a first synthesized signal, and synthesizes the signal components according to a second rule to form a second synthesized signal. The first and second rules are so determined that a difference becomes a maximum between the probability density function of the first synthesized signal and the probability density function of the second synthesized signal. An output selection unit selectively produces a synthesized signal having a large difference from the Gaussian distribution between the synthesized signals.

Abstract: A horizontal direction component pixel extractor extracts a pixel of interest and a horizontal direction component pixel thereof from an input video signal. A vertical direction component pixel extractor extracts the pixel of interest and a vertical direction component pixel thereof from the input video signal. A threshold setter sets a threshold value from the pixel of interest and the vertical processing direction component pixel thereof. A non-linear smoother non-linearly smoothes the pixel of interest using a horizontal processing direction component pixel in accordance with the set threshold value, thereby generating a video signal. A flat rate calculator calculates a flat rate in a vertical direction of the pixel of interest using a vertical processing direction component pixel. A mixer mixes the input video signal and the generated video signal using the flat rate, thereby outputting a horizontal direction smoothed video signal.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing more rapid takeover of a failed filer by a clustered takeover partner filer in the presence of a coredump procedure (e.g. a transfer of the failed filer's working memory) is provided. To save time, the coredump is allowed to occur contemporaneously with the takeover of the failed filer's regular, active file service disks by the partner so that the takeover need not await completion of the coredump to begin. This is accomplished, briefly stated, by the following techniques. The coredump is written to a single disk that is not involved in regular file service, so that takeover of regular file services can proceed without interference from coredump. A reliable means for both filers in a cluster to identify the coredump disk is provided, which removes takeover dependence upon unreliable communications mechanisms. A means is provided for identification during takeover of the coredump disk and SCSI-3 reservations are employed to coordinate write access to (ownership of) shared disks, so as to prevent takeover from interfering with coredump while simultaneously preventing the failed filer from continuing to write regular file system disks being taken over by its partner.
