Abstract: Speech likeliness or a degree of speech is determined with a simple configuration or with a small amount of processing, and speech parts are separated from an input sound signal. The input sound signal is subjected to a waveform slicing process in frame units. The increase and decrease rate of a half wavelength in the frame is computed. The rate of a zero cross in the frame is computed. The increase and decrease rate of a half wavelength is computed by determining the rate of the portion where the upward half-wavelength or the downward half-wavelength of the waveform of the input sound signal changes to increase and decrease alternately or to decrease and increase alternately. The degree of speech is determined using each rate. Speech processing for separating or accentuating/attenuating speech and background noise in accordance with the degree of speech is performed on the sound signal for each frame.

Abstract: A rotation sensor includes a rotation detector mounted on a holder which is in turn inserted in a casing through its opening. A cover is formed by molding a resin so as to cover the opening of the casing and the portion of the holder protruding from the opening of the casing. A pair of relay terminals extend through a base portion of the holder and a gap defined in the holder, are fixed to a support wall, and connected to respective lead pieces of the detector. A resin cover is formed by molding a resin. When forming the cover, pressure is applied to the holder, thereby causing the holder to bulge axially in the holder. This in turn pushes the relay terminals in the axial direction. But since the relay terminals are fixed to the support wall, the support wall will absorb such pushing force, thereby preventing such pushing from being transmitted to the detector. In order to more effectively absorb such pushing force, the relay terminals may be provided with bent portions in the gap.
