Patent EP-1385149-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CHARLET DELPHINE
IPC: G10L17/12
Filed: 2003-07-10
Abstract: A means (V6) is provided for updating at least one normalisation parameter as a function of a value preceding this parameter and of the verification score for each vocal segment test whenever the normalised score is at least equal to a second threshold value equal to or greater than the first threshold value.  A means (A1-A3) is provided for generating parameters associated with an acceptance vocal model relative to a vocal segment spoken by the authorised speaker and for generating parameters associated with a refusal vocal model during a training stage. A means (V1-V3) is provided for normalising a verification score for the speaker using normalisation parameters, depending on the degree of resemblance between a vocal segment to be tested and the acceptance and refusal models. A means (V4) is provided for comparing the normalised verification score with a first threshold value so that the speaker of the vocal segment to be tested is only granted access if the normalised score is equal to or greater than this threshold value.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for obtaining diverse antibodies as a
result of markedly enhancing the somatic homologous recombination at an antibody locus
in immunocytes. 
     By putting immunocytes in which DNA homologous recombination is occurring at an
antibody locus (for example, DT40 cells and the like) into contact and the like with histone
acetylase inhibitor and the like (for example, trichostatin A and the like), thereby relaxing
the chromatin structure at said antibody locus, somatic homologous recombination at an
antibody locus is enhanced, and the production of diverse antibody molecules is made
possible. 
     The production of antibodies that bind specifically to antigens from cell populations in
which the antibody molecules have been diversified by the enhancement of somatic
homologous recombination is made possible by using an appropriate selection method
(for example, beads coated with antigen and the like)

Abstract: In order to be able to use a smaller routing table (4) and, thus, to reduce the costs and power consumption and to improve the performance of an IP router, it is proposed to extract a destination address identifier (ADR) from a data packet to be forwarded by the IP router, compress the extracted destination address identifier (ADR) by using a lossless data compression algorithm, and compare the compressed destination address identifier with entries stored in the routing table (4) so as to find a correspondence between the destination address identifier and one of the entries of the routing table (4). Each entry of the routing table (4) corresponds to a possible or available forwarding address of the IP router, the forwarding addresses having been compressed with the same data compression algorithm as the destination address identifier. After having found a correspondence between the destination address identifier and one of the compressed forwarding addresses stored in the routing table (4), a switch (6) of the IP router switches the respective data packet to one of its output links (OUT) which is associated with the respective forwarding address matching the destination address identifier (ADR).

Abstract: A process for producing a brominated acetal (represented by the formula 3) includes (a) brominating a trifluoromethyl-substituted acetophenone by Br2 in the presence of an alkylene diol. It is optional to produce a trifluoromethyl-substituted 2-alkoxyacetophenone derivative (represented by the formula 9) by (b) reacting the brominated acetal with a metal alkoxide, thereby converting the brominated acetal into an ether; and (c) hydrolyzing the ether in the presence of an acid catalyst to remove an acetal group from the ether, thereby producing the 2-alkoxyacetophenone derivative. Alternatively, the 2-alkoxyacetophenone can be produced by (a) reacting a trifluoromethyl-substituted phenacyl halide with an acetalization agent, thereby converting the phenacyl halide into an acetal; (b) reacting the acetal with a metal alkoxide, thereby converting the acetal into an ether; and (c) hydrolyzing the ether in the presence of an acid catalyst to remove the acetal group from the ether.
