Abstract: Apparatus (50) for generating an output signal (fdiv) whose frequency is lower than the frequency of an input signal (CK1, fvco). The apparatus (50) comprises a chain of frequency dividing cells (51-56), wherein each of the frequency dividing cells (51-56) has a definable division ratio (DR) and comprises:- a clock input (CKi) for receiving an input clock (CKin);- a divided clock output (CKi+1) for providing an output clock (CKout) to a subsequent frequency dividing cell;- a mode control input (MDi) for receiving a mode control input signal (MDin) from the subsequent frequency dividing cell; and- a mode control output for providing a mode control output signal (MDout) to a preceding frequency dividing cell. The apparatus (50) further comprises a logic network (58) having m inputs. Each of the m inputs is connected to a mode control input (MDi, MDi+1, MDi+2) of one of the m consecutive frequency dividing cells (51-54). The output signal (fdiv) is made available at an output (59) of the logic network (58), whereby the output signal (fdiv) has a pulse width (τ) that is wider than the widest pulse width of any of the mode control input signals (MDin) at the m inputs of the logic network (58).

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de reconnaissance vocale qui fait passer des messages-guides à un utilisateur afin d'en obtenir des informations.  Si l'utilisateur commence à parler, le message-guide devrait s'interrompre.  Cependant, le système peut recevoir des sons autres que des sons vocaux en provenance de l'utilisateur tandis qu'il envoie un message-guide, auquel cas le message-guide devrait se poursuivre.  Le système arrête temporairement un message-guide lorsqu'il détecte un son ou lorsqu'il détermine au préalable qu'un son détecté peut être un son voulu (par exemple, des mots prononcés par l'utilisateur).  Le système détermine alors si le son reçu est un son voulu ou un quelconque autre son (par exemple, un bruit de toux ou une porte qui claque).  Si le son reçu n'a pas été identifié comme un son voulu, le message-guide reprend.  Le message-guide peut reprendre à n'importe quel point approprié, par exemple au point où il a été interrompu, à une frontière syntagmatique précédente ou au début du message-guide.

Abstract: A new method and framework for scheduling receive-side processing of data
streams received from a remote requesting client by a multiprocessor system computer is
disclosed. The method receives data packets from the remote requesting client via a
network and, for each data packet, applies a mapping algorithm to portions of the
received data packet yielding a mapping value. The method further applies the map value
to a processor selection policy to identify a processor in the multiprocessor system as a
selected processor to perform receive-side processing of the data packet. The method
queues the received data packet for processing by the selected processor and invokes a
procedure call to initiate processing of the data packet.
