Title: Method of agile reduction of radar cross section using electromagnetic channelization
Inventor: MESSANO AL
IPC: H01Q17/00
Filed: 2005-11-15
Abstract: A method for reducing radar cross section of an object that has conductive portions and that is expected to be scanned by radar, which includes providing the object with a multiple layer radar cross section reducing structure that reduces or entraps or dissipates radar waves therein so that the size or configuration of the object cannot be correctly detected by radar scanning.  The invention also relates to the radar cross section reducing structure alone or associated with an object such as an aircraft, vessel, structure or vehicle that may enclose or transport personnel or equipment . The structure can be provided on an object that previously has no stealth capability or it can be applied to an object that already has stealth capability for the purpose of increasing capability or providing agility in order to prevent detection by threat or other radar systems. The incident radar waves are trapped and channelized towards an appropriate outlet, like an antenna.

Title: Recognition of speech in editable audio streams
Inventor: KOLL DETLEF
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 2007-11-23
Abstract: A speech processing system divides a spoken audio stream into partial audio streams ("snippets"). The system may divide a portion of the audio stream into two snippets at a position at which the speaker performed an editing operation, such as pausing and then resuming recording, or rewinding and then resuming recording. The snippets may be transmitted sequentially to a consumer, such as an automatic speech recognizer or a playback device, as the snippets are generated. The consumer may process (e.g., recognize or play back) the snippets as they are received. The consumer may modify its output in response to editing operations reflected in the snippets. The consumer may process the audio stream while it is being created and transmitted even if the audio stream includes editing operations that invalidate previously-transmitted partial audio streams, thereby enabling shorter turnaround time between dictation and consumption of the complete audio stream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for winding metal strips (13) onto a coiling mandrel (4) which is disposed in a coiler shaft (3) and to which the metal strip is fed by a driver (2) encompassing a bottom and a top drive roller (6, 7) in a driver frame (5). A bench (11) is provided below the metal strip (13) for guiding purposes while a strip switch (17) and a swiveling shaft flap (19) are arranged above the metal strip, the shaft flap (19) adjoining the strip switch (17) to the vicinity of the coiling mandrel. In order to regulate the driver (2) in such a way by measuring the strip tension that the strip run allows the metal strip (13) to be coiled into a straight-edged coil (14), the longitudinal tensile strength applied to the metal strip (13) by the driver (2) to control the strip run through the driver is determined by means of a strip tension measuring device (10) which is mounted on the driver frame (5), in a pivot located shortly behind the bottom drive roller (7), and can be swiveled into the metal strip (13) from below. Said strip tension measuring device (10) is composed of a first lever arm (10a) that is mounted in a pivot at the rear of the driver frame (5) as well as a second lever arm (10b) which is hingedly mounted at the front of the first lever arm (10a) and the forward end of which is provided with a roller (23). A force measuring means (24) is placed between the first lever arm (10a) and the second lever arm (10b).
