Title: Method for forming the excitation signal for a glottal pulse model based parametric speech synthesis system
Inventor: DACHIRAJU RAJESH
IPC: G10L13/00
Filed: 2014-05-28
Granted: 2020-09-24
Abstract: A method is presented for forming the excitation signal for a glottal pulse model based parametric speech synthesis system. In one embodiment, fundamental frequency values are used to form the excitation signal. The excitation is modeled using a voice source pulse selected from a database of a given speaker. The voice source signal is segmented into glottal segments, which are used in vector representation to identify the glottal pulse used for formation of the excitation signal. Use of a novel distance metric and preserving the original signals extracted from the speakers voice samples helps capture low frequency information of the excitation signal. In addition, segment edge artifacts are removed by applying a unique segment joining method to improve the quality of synthetic speech while creating a true representation of the voice quality of a speaker.

Title: Bias and reversing mechanism for roller clutch ratchet
Inventor: ROSS DAVID
IPC: B25B13/46
Filed: 2015-01-23
Granted: 2017-01-12
Abstract: Abstract A roller clutch mechanism of a reversible ratchet tool is configured to include a biasing and reversing mechanism for biasing rollers in the roller clutch mechanism. A cage member of the roller clutch mechanism locates rollers in either a clockwise or counterclockwise position 5 based on a selective position of the reverser mechanism. The reverser mechanism applies a constant bias to the cage member so that the rollers are constantly biased and quickly engage between the ratchet body and the drive head. The constant bias applied to the cage member reduces the ratcheting angle for improved performance of the reversible ratchet tool. CcD C,44 co Cr) D
