Patent CA-2380433-A1 (CA)
Title: Systeme et procede pour ameliorer la precision d'un programme de reconnaissance vocale
Inventor: FLYNN THOMAS P
IPC: G10L15/22
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé permettant d'améliorer rapidement la précision d'un programme de reconnaissance vocale. Ce système est basé sur un programme de reconnaissance vocale qui convertit automatiquement un fichier audio préenregistré en un texte écrit. Le système analyse le texte écrit par segments, chacun de ces segments étant corrigé par le système et sauvegardé en vue d'une récupération en relation avec l'ordinateur. Les fichiers vocaux standards sont sauvegardés en vue d'améliorer la précision de conversion voix-texte par le programme de reconnaissance vocale. Le système comprend également des moyens permettant d'établir une instance indépendante du texte écrit à partir du fichier audio préenregistré à l'aide du programme de reconnaissance vocale. L'instance indépendante peut être ensuite divisée en segments et chaque segment de cette instance est remplacé par un segment corrigé associé à ce segment. De cette manière, les instructions répétitives d'un programme de reconnaissance vocale sont facilitées. L'invention porte également sur un système et un procédé permettant de diriger des fichiers audio préenregistrés vers un programme de reconnaissance vocale qui n'accepte pas ces fichiers, ainsi que sur un système et un procédé qui sont nécessaires pour utiliser le système et le procédé visant à améliorer rapidement la précision d'un programme de reconnaissance vocale avec des programmes de reconnaissance vocale préexistants.

Title: Chemically active filter material
Inventor: WATERS MICHELLE
IPC: B01D71/36
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: The present invention is an improved active filter material for use in removing target species such as NOx from a fluid stream. The filter of the present invention employs chemically active particles attached to a porous substrate by means of a polymer adhesive. A microporous layer is attached to at least one side of, or within, the porous substrate. The resulting filter material removes contaminates, such as dust, from the filter stream before the dust can clog active catalytic sites, as well as remove undesirable species by means of catalysis or reaction.

Title: Distributed file system including multicast retrieval
Inventor: RHOADS EDWARD R
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2000-10-16
Abstract: A distributed file system intelligently allocates portions of a file system (22) from a server (10) to one or more clients (12) on a network (20). File system data used during power-on of a client (12) may be stored on the client (12). A retrieval of the file system (22) may subsequently be made to the extent the client (12) has capacity to store the file system (22). A multicast operation, performed as a background operation on the client, may be used to retrieve the file system (22). For portions of the file system (22) not allocated to the client (12), the client may still access the file system from the server (10). Network bandwidth may thus be reduced and client access to the file system may generally be more efficient.
