Abstract: An absorbent product (1) has a first end portion (2) with
two side flaps (10, 11) extending laterally outwardly on
either side of a waist section (8). Each of the side
flaps (10, 11) includes an upper edge (12, 13) and a
lower edge (15, 25, 16, 26). Each of the side flaps (10,
11) further has an elastic section (33, 34) which is
distinct from elastic in the waist section (8). The
elastic section (33, 34) extends longitudinally over a
portion of the lateral extent of the side flap (10, 11),
over only part of the distance between the flap upper
edge (12, 13) and lower edge (15, 25, 16, 26). A non-elastic
section (29, 30) extends between a lower end (31,

Abstract: An engine lubrication system has an arrangement in
which the base of a crankcase (2) is used to form an oil
reservoir (30), and a part of an oil slinger (31) that
is driven by a crankshaft (1) via a transmission system
(33) is immersed in the oil within the oil reservoir. 
An oil pump (32) that is driven by the transmission
system is immersed in the oil within the oil reservoir,
and a discharge port (50) of the oil pump communicates
with a lubricating-oil passage (66) within the
crankshaft. It is thereby possible to provide an engine
lubrication system based on a splash-type lubrication
system while at the same time using a forced-type
lubrication system, thus reducing the capacity of the
oil pump and simplifying the drive system, and
effectively suppressing an increase in the overall cost.

IPC: G06F12/14

Abstract: The present invention relates to a data processing system and method having
improved hardware protection. Embodiments of the invention take advantage of the system
management mode of operation of Intel processors during which software outside of the
system management RAM cannot execute and cannot interrupt code that is executing within
the system management mode as a consequence of responding to a system management
interrupt. The system management mode code is invoked in response to an attempt by the
BIOS to access the Master Boot Record of an HDD. The data stored within the MBR is
encrypted. The system management code is arranged to use a software signature of the
BIOS, or other authorisation data, and data stored within the MBR in a hashing algorithm to
determine if the BIOS is authorised to access the MBR. Access to the MBR is granted or
denied according to the result of applying the hashing algorithm. Preferably, the result of
applying the hashing algorithm produces a decrypted version of the MBR that can be used by
the BIOS to locate and load a boot strap loader. Advantageously, the present invention
enables hardware to be tied to specific software, which, in turn, provides greater control over
the use of the hardware. This is particularly useful when the hardware has been licensed for
use in a restricted sense.

Abstract: Speech recognition involves searching for the most likely one of a number of sequences of words, given a speech signal. Each such sequence is a composite sequence, composed of consecutive sequences of states. Searching involves a number of searches, each in a respective search space containing a subset of the sequences of states. In each search only the more likely sequences of states in the relevant search space are considered. In a first embodiment different search spaces are made up of sequences of states that follow preceding sequences from a class of sequences of words. Different classes define different ones of the search spaces. Classes are distinguished on the basis of phonetic history rather than word history, as represented by the sequences of states in the composite sequence up to the sequence of states in the search space. Thus, the number of words or parts thereof whose identity is used to distinguish different classes is varied depending on a length of one or more last words represented by the composite sequence. In a second embodiment, a plurality different composite sequences are involved in a search through a joint sequence of states, for which representative likelihood information for the plurality is used to decide whether or not to discard it in the search. At the end of the search the likelihood for the different composite sequences is regenerated from the joint sequence if it survived the search, and further search is based on the regenerated likelihood. In a third embodiment, this technique is applied within searches at the subword level.
