Abstract: The present invention relates to a speaker recognition method and system which applies adaptive component weighting to each frame of speech for attenuating non-vocal tract components and normalizing speech components. A linear predictive all pole model is used to select frames for an adaptively weighted cepstrum. Frames with a predetermined number of resonances are selected for cepstrum analysis. An adaptively weighted cepstrum is determined from a new transfer function. A normalized cepstrum is determined having improved characteristics for speech components. From the improved speech components, improved speaker recognition over a channel is obtained.

Abstract: In a method of recycling iron and steel industry waste (1-1, 1-2) by processing the waste (1-1, 1-2) as an object substance by the use of a rotary kiln (7), the object substance is changed into a valuable material while the object substance travels within the rotary kiln (7) from an upstream side to a downstream side. The object substance is heated on the upstream side of the rotary kiln (7) within a reducing atmosphere to be reduced and molten into a reduced and molten product. The reduced and molten product is quickly sent to the downstream side without being adhered to an internal wall of the rotary kiln (7). The valuable material is extracted from the reduced and molten product which may be directly discharged out of the rotary kiln or which may be discharged after the reduced and molten product is once kept in a basin formed in the vicinity of the downstream side of the rotary kiln (7). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Electrosurgical energy is used in combination with a surgical tool to seal vessels and vascular tissue of a patient. One of the important advances of the present system is that it can effectively seal vessels of a patient without leaving any foreign material in the body of the patient. The present system is also capable of sealing vessels as large as ten millimeters in diameter. Another advantage of the present system is that the surgeon can visually inspect the integrity of the seal. The invention works with a combination of pressure and controlled application of electrosurgical energy to achieve the desired result. A surgical tool is used to grasp and apply an appropriate amount of closure force to the tissue of the patient. The tool is capable of conducting electrosurgical energy to the tissue concurrently with the application of the closure force. A method for sealing vessels and vascular tissue of a patient includes the steps of applying pressure to the vessels and other tissues of the patient; applying a first level of electrosurgical power to the vessels and other tissue sufficient to melt proteins in the tissue; applying a second level of electrosurgical power to the vessels and other tissue sufficient to cause desiccation without charring; reducing the electrosurgical power substantially to zero for a length of time sufficient to allow the vessels and other tissues to cool into a new compressed form; and relieving the pressure on the tissue.

Abstract: A methodology for ascertaining gene function entails selection of mutations in androgenetic haploids which are produced by fertilizing a maize plant carrying the indeterminate gametophyte gene (ig) with pollen obtained from a mutagenized plant. Genes that control quantitative characters can be identified, for example, by fertilizing a first inbred carrying the ig gene with pollen from a second inbred that has been mutagenized. Changes in the phenotype of the hybrid progeny then are identified and characterized. A method for direct selection of androgenetic haploids is provided.

Abstract: A thermoplastic solid backing film manufactured by the co-extrusion of three polymer compositions wherein die-lip build up is avoided by adjusting the amount of filler present in each polymer composition. The first and third polymer compositions are such that substantially no die-lip build up occurs when these compositions are extruded through a die however the second polymer composition is such that there would be substantial die-lip build up if it was extruded adjacent a die-lip. The presence of the first and third polymer compositions prevents the second polymer composition from contacting the die-lip during manufacture of the backing film. The thermoplastic solid backing film can be incorporated in a resilient floor covering and in floor tiles.

Abstract: The improved vehicle navigation system and method uses information from a Global Positioning System (GPS) to obtain velocity vectors, which include speed and heading components, for propagating or "dead reckoning" the vehicle position from a previous position to a current position. The improved vehicle navigation system has a GPS receiver which provides the GPS velocity information which is calculated from a full set of GPS delta range measurements. GPS position data alone is not accurate enough for certain applications, such as turn-by-turn route guidance in automobile applications, because its error may be 100 m and there is considerable position drift, even when stationary. GPS velocities are much more accurate than the position data, 1m/s or thereabouts, and can be used to propagate a known position forward and be more accurate over time than the GPS position solution. These velocities are instantaneous and not those computed from differing two positions. The current position is calculated by adding displacements obtained from the GPS velocities to the previous position.

Abstract: A procedure is claimed for disinfecting the hydraulic circuits of dialysis machines. An inlet (E) of a dialyser connects to the water supply. Lines (1, 2, 4a, 4b, 26) are reconfigured for machine operation, by connection to various consumables. During disinfection, the lines are shut off and interconnected as a closed network. The reservoir (40) connects near the inlet and contains concentrated disinfectant (I). Water and (I) are discharged into the circuit in set proportion, forming a bactericide (BC). The novelty is that when the circuit is full, influx is stopped; then the circuit is emptied. Intentionally, (I) remains in the reservoir, to which water is added, forming a second liquid, which with further water, is then admitted to the circuit as a bacteriostat (BT) which can remain there for at least 12 hours without causing corrosion. The circuit is left filled with BT.

Abstract: The invention is devices and techniques which use a negative (suction) pressure or vacuum, applied through a surgical instrument, to fix the position of a portion of the surface of a beating heart so that a surgical procedure can be more easily performed. The devices apply a negative pressure at several points on the outer surface of the heart such that a portion of the heart is fixed in place by the suction imposed through the surgical instrument. Because the instrument fixes the position of the tissue, and because the instruments remain at a constant distance from the particular portion of the heart where the surgery is being performed, the device may also serve as a support or platform so that other surgical instruments or devices can be advantageously used at the site. In certain preferred embodiments, the devices described herein have structures to facilitate the use of additional surgical instruments such that the placement of negative pressure device permit the surgeon to advantageously manipulate the other instruments during surgery. The negative pressure is preferably imposed through a plurality of ports which may be disposed in a substantially planar surface of the instrument which contacts the cardiac tissue. <IMAGE>
