Title: System and method for segmentation and recognition of speech signals
Inventor: BI NING
IPC: G10L15/10
Filed: 1999-12-29
Abstract: A system and method for forming a segmented speech signal from an input speech signal having a plurality of frames. The input speech signal is converted from a time domain signal to a frequency domain signal having a plurality of speech frames, wherein each speech frame in the frequency domain signal is represented by at least one spectral value associated with the speech frame. A spectral difference value is then determined for each pair of adjacent frames in the frequency domain signal, wherein the spectral difference value for each pair of adjacent frames is representative of a difference between the at least one spectral value associated with each frame in the pair of adjacent frames. An initial cluster boundary is set between each pair of adjacent frames in the frequency domain signal, and a variance value is assigned to each cluster in the frequency domain signal, wherein the variance value for each cluster is equal to one of the determined spectral difference values. Next, a plurality of cluster merge parameters is calculated, wherein each of the cluster merge parameters is associated with a pair of adjacent clusters in the frequency domain signal. A minimum cluster merge parameter is selected from the plurality of cluster merge parameters. A merged cluster is then formed by canceling a cluster boundary between the clusters associated with the minimum merge parameter and assigning a merged variance value to the merged cluster, wherein the merged variance value is representative of the variance values assigned to the clusters associated with the minimum merge parameter. The process is repeated in order to form a plurality of merged clusters, and the segmented speech signal is formed in accordance with the plurality of merged clusters.

Inventor: FISCHER KLAUS
IPC: C05F11/02
Filed: 1999-12-17
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the production of an organic fertilizer of humic-like nature, by oxidising and ammoniating treatment of lignite, characterised by the fact that lignite is suspended in a aqueous ammoniacal medium of pH>9 to 12 and in this context is partially dissolved and is oxidised at a temperature of 20-100° C. at normal pressure; and the organic fertilizer being obtained as a dispersion in aqueous medium, by thickening, or by drying, with a C/N ratio from 9 to 15. An organic fertilizer as well as its use is described. The process enables the production of an organic fertilizer from lignite distinguished by a humus-like structure and slow-releasing fertilization effect, and its use as such or as an addition to yield-increasing and soil-ameliorating substrates.

Date Mar. 27, 1997A method of determining the location of an unknown source (10) transmitting an unknown signal to satellite relays (14 and 16) comprises receiving the signal from the relays at respective receivers (18). The receivers (18) receive reference signals via respective relays from a common source (22). The unknown signal and reference signal received by each receiver (18) are processed coherently to preserve their timing and phase information relative to one another independently of signals received elsewhere. The signals are frequency downconverted and digitised, and transferred to a common processing computer (150). The computer (150) performs cross ambiguity function processing of the reference signals to determine their relative Differential Time Offset (DTO) and Differential Frequency Offset (DFO). It performs the like for the received unknown signals to determine relative DTO and DFO, relative time and frequency shifts being introduced between the unknown signals by incorporation of the reference signal DTO and DFO in order to enable the unknown signal DFO to be determined relative to the reference signal DFO. The reference signals are also employed to counteract phase noise and frequency drift effects in the unknown signals. From the unknown signal DTO and DFO the position of the unknown source (10) is calculated.
