Abstract: The tandem cell or photoelectrochemical system for the cleavage of water to hydrogen and oxygen by visible light consisting of two superimposed photocells, both cells being connected electrically. The photoactive material in the top cell is a semiconducting oxide placed in contact with an aqueous solution. This semiconducting oxide absorbs the blue and green part of the solar emission spectrum of a light source or light sources and generates with the energy collected oxygen and protons from water. The not absorbed yellow and red light transmits the top cell and enters a second photocell, the bottom cell, which is mounted, in the direction of the light behind, preferably directly behind the top cell. The bottom cell includes a dye sensitized mesoporous photovoltaic film. The bottom cell converts the yellow, red and near infrared portion of the sunlight to drive the reduction of the protons which are produced in the top cell during the photo catalytic water oxidation process, to hydrogen.

Abstract: An apparatus and method that provides a routing engine (702) for processing data packets based upon certain rules (704) that are compiled and applied real-time via a just-in-time (JIT) compiler, a runtime compiler, or the like (706). The routing engine parses (711) and analyzes an incoming IP flow (710). A set of rules (704) are developed and stored for use by the JIT. The rules (704) establish a set of patterns, and the incoming data is compared to those patterns. If certain patterns are detected, then the associated action established by the rule is applied to the processing (722) of the data packet. Packets are classified according to any rule, as applied to any packet, as early as possible in the process (i.e. first or second stage of process), with the route lookup and packet attribute processes performed in parallel. Data packets might be assigned or mapped to various traffic service levels. Traffic types and priorities, as well as service levels, can be mapped onto existing QoS/CoS definitions and assignments (1108). The data packets can be altered or modified as a result of the detected patterns. Data packets can also be discarded or dropped if the detected patterns and associated rule indicate such a desire. The apparatus and method might be implemented as a hardware and software configuration. A software configuration might also be loaded into existing router hardware.

Abstract: A real-time system incorporating speech recognition and linguistic processing for recognizing a spoken query by a user and distributed between client and server, is disclosed. The system accepts user's queries in the form of speech at the client where minimal processing extracts a sufficient number of acoustic speech vectors representing the utterance. These vectors are sent via a communications channel to the server where additional acoustic vectors are derived. Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), and appropriate grammars and dictionaries conditioned by the selections made by the user, the speech representing the user's query is fully decoded into text (or some other suitable form) at the server. This text corresponding to the user's query is then simultaneously sent to a natural language engine and a database processor where optimized SQL statements are constructed for a full-text search from a database for a recordset of several stored questions that best matches the user's query. Further processing in the natural language engine narrows the search to a single stored question. The answer corresponding to this single stored question is next retrieved from the file path and sent to the client in compressed form. At the client, the answer to the user's query is articulated to the user using a text-to-speech engine in his or her native natural language. The system requires no training and can operate in several natural languages.</PTEXT>

Abstract: An image processing apparatus, method and computer
program product, wherein an initializing process of a scanner
is performed in a short period of time when a return
operation from a shutdown state is performed. A carriage of
the scanner stays in a white level range when the main body
is put in the shutdown state. Thus, the scanner immediately
makes an automatic adjustment to its image reading level when
the return operation from the shutdown state is started. The
carriage detects an original position for a scanning
operation while it moves to a standby position after the
automatic adjustment is made. Thereby, the initializing
process of the scanner is performed eliminating an operation
of the carriage in which the carriage moves to the white
plate range to read the white plate.

Abstract: A process cartridge including a nonvolatile memory
is removably mounted to an image forming apparatus also
including a nonvolatile memory. Information
representative of the conditions of use of the cartridge,
which varies due to repeated operation, is written to both

the information is first read out of the memory of the
apparatus. Image forming conditions are set up in
accordance with the amount of remaining toner and the
cumulative number of prints output, which are included in
the information, so that operating conditions are
optimized in order to quicken image formation.
Subsequently, the information is read out of the memory
of the process cartridge and compared with the data stored
in the memory of the apparatus. If the two data do not
compare equal, then the data of the memory of the apparatus
is updated in order to set new operating conditions.

Abstract: The frequency conversion circuit 30 as an element of a
radio communication device, the frequency conversion circuit
for converting by using a local oscillator 32 the frequency of
a signal which is modulated with a reference oscillation signal
from a reference oscillator 31. The frequency conversion
circuit 30 is provided with a first mixer 36, a change-over
switch 35, and a second mixer 33. The first mixer 36 mixes the
reference oscillation signal from the reference oscillator 31
and a local oscillation signal from the local oscillator. The
change-over switch 35 selects one of a mixed signal from the
first mixer 36 and the local oscillation signal from the local
oscillator 32. The second mixer 33 mixes the signal modulated
with the reference oscillation signal with an output from the
change-over switch 35. The frequency conversion circuit 30,
thus configured, may widen a frequency range, without an
additional local oscillator, guaranteeing signal purity and
response time for shifting the oscillation frequency.
