Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure: For use in a mobile radio telephone network including radio telephone sets movable in an area divided into a predetermined number of zones, a communication control system includes a searching i arrangement (25, 33) for searching one (15') of radio communication devices of the network as a searched communication device that is assigned to a present one of the zones into which a specific one (11') of the radio telephone sets has moved from a previous one of the zones. For operation of the searching arrangement, a communicating arrangement (22, 25, 32) of the system sends a call signal to a specific one of the radio communication devices that is assigned to the previous zone to transmit the call signal to the specific telephone set and receives a response signal transmitted from the specific telephone set if the specific telephone set were in the previous zone. For the communicating arrangement, a selecting arrangement (21, 25, 31) selects the specific communication device with reference to a memory (27) for memorizing, in correspondence to the radio telephone sets, location information indicative of the radio communication devices assigned to the zones in which the radio telephone sets are present at a time. The searching arrangement preferably updates the memory to make the information indicate the searched communication device instead of the specific communication device.

Abstract: RAPIDLY TRAINING A SPEECH RECOGNIZER      TO A SUBSEQUENT SPEAKER GIVEN TRAINING DATA OF A REFERENCE SPEAKER               ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE          Apparatus and method for training the statistics of a Markov Model speech recognizer to a subsequent speaker who utters part of a training text after the recognizer has been trained for the statistics of a reference speaker who utters a full training  text.  Where  labels  generated  by  an  acoustic processor in response to uttered speech serve as outputs for Markov models,  the present apparatus and method determine label output probabilities at transitions in the Markov mod-els corresponding to the subsequent speaker where there is sparse training data. Specifically, label output probabili-ties for the subsequent speaker are re-parameterized based on confusion matrix entries having values indicative of the similarity between an ?th label output of the subsequent speaker and a kth label output for the reference speaker.          The label output probabilities based on re-parameterized data are combined with initialized label output probabilities to form  "smoothed"  label  output probabilities which  feature smoothed probability distributions.  Based on label outputs generated when the subsequent speaker utters the shortened training text,  "basic" label output probabilities computed by conventional methodology are linearly averaged against the smoothed label output probabilities to produce improved label output probabilities.

Abstract: Abstract A process and arrangement are provided for the efficient generation of energy from coal, while at the same time providing for a relatively inexpensive step in processing of iron or steel, and the extraction of valuable materials such as oils from coal.  An advantage to the process is that relatively low quality coals can be utilized, since the coal is pretreated before any burning operation.  Generally, the process involves three interacting stages.  In the First Stage, a coal liquefaction/pyrolysis procedure is utilized to drive off volatiles, and form a very low volatile char.  The volatiles can be collected and utilized as a valuable oil product, such as for diesel fuel or the like.  The char material is preferably pelletized and utilized as a reductant, in a Second Stage of iron reduction and melting. Preferably the iron reduction and melting operation is conducted in a pressurized cupola and the high pressure hot product gases are utilized directly and/or indirectly, to generate electricity in Stage Three, and to produce hot steam for use in driving certain portions of Stages One and Two.  High pressure product gases have a greater energy content than gases at atmospheric pressure and facilitate more efficient production of electricity in Stage Three.  Problems of handling molten iron from a pressurized cupola are solved using the pressure to drive the molten iron up a vertical tap mechanism.  The weight of the metal offsets the pressure as the metal rises so that the metal is driven up to a point at which the metal's pressure is decreased to atmospheric pressure.  Also, preferably steel is formed from the reduced iron product of Stage Two.  Preferred arrangements for generating steel are shown.
