Abstract: A method for searching line data (7) to be transmitted to a terminal (6) which demands an output map. The line data (7) is obtained by selecting line segments within an output domain (2) from the entire line data (3) included in an object map (1) read from a graphic file (4). The selection of the line segments is performed by obtaining the coordinates of intersections (P i ') of lines specifying the output domain (2) and line segment specified by any two adjacent characteristic points (Pi) on a line associated with line data read out from the graphic file, and then by arranging the intersections (P i ') and the characteristic points (Pi) within the output domain (2) sequentially along the line. This makes it possible to shorten the response time between a demand from the terminal (6) and the actual output of the line data (7) within the output domain (2) to that terminal.

Abstract: A speech recognition apparatus and method estimates the next word context for each current candidate word in a speech hypothesis. An initial model of each speech hypothesis comprises a model of a partial hypothesis of zero or more words followed by a model of a candidate word. An initial hypothesis score for each speech hypothesis comprises an estimate of the closeness of a match between the initial model of the speech hypothesis and a sequence of coded representations of the utterance. The speech hypotheses having the best initial hypothesis scores form an initial subset. For each speech hypothesis in the initial subset, the word which is most likely to follow the speech hypothesis is estimated. A revised model of each speech hypothesis in the initial subset comprises a model of the partial hypothesis followed by a revised model of the candidate word. The revised candidate word model is dependent at least on the word which is estimated to be most likely to follow the speech hypothesis. A revised hypothesis score for each speech hypothesis in the initial subset comprises an estimate of the closeness of a match between the revised model of the speech hypothesis and the sequence of coded representations of the utterance. The speech hypotheses from the initial subset which have the best revised match scores are stored as a reduced subset. At least one word of one or more of the speech hypotheses in the reduced subset is output as a speech recognition result.

Abstract: Layout data indicate positions in a negatively curved layout space for nodes in a hierarchical branch of a node-link structure. The layout data indicate a parent position for parent nodes and, for children that share a parent node, child positions approximately along a circle in the layout space with the parent position approximately at the circle's center. Adjacent child positions are separated by approximately a base spacing. The radii of circles within the branch together approximate a function that increases slowly with number of child nodes such that the radii and spacings along circles are all approximately uniform within the branch. The layout data can be obtained (60) from data defining the node-link structure. The layout data can be used to perform mappings (64), each obtaining positions for a subset of the nodes. The layout data can be used to present (122; Fig.4) a first representation of the node-link structure on a display. In response to a user signal indicating (124; Fig. 4) a change from a first display position near a first feature to a second display position, a second representation can be presented (126; Fig 4) that is perceptible as a changed continuation of the first. The second representation includes, near the second display position, a second feature representing the same part of the node-link structure as the first feature. The second representation can be obtained by a transformation of the layout space, which can be a discrete approximation of a hyperbolic plane.

Abstract: A system for extending the life span of electronic components (10, 20) in a high temperature well. A thermal electric cooler (64, 66) is located in a position thermally communicating with the electronic component (10, 20) in the well. The thermal electric cooler lowers the temperature of the electronic component (10, 20) to a temperature that retards the deterioration of the electronic components (10, 20), and is particularly useful in well completion tools requiring an extended life. One or more thermal electrical coolers (64, 66) or other electrical equipment (70, 82) may be connected to a common electric wire (72), and a surface controller (74) may selectively adjust the power supplied to each thermal electric cooler to prevent the electric wire (72) from being overloaded. The power to each component can be controlled to produce the lowest attainable temperature for each thermal electric cooler, which reduces the deterioration of electronic components to the greatest extent possible.

Abstract: At least one reinforcing rubber layer is provided in the part of each of two side wall portions which is on the outer side of a carcass layer so as to improve the steering stability while maintaining the durability of belt layers at a level equal to that of conventional belt layers without causing an increase in the weight of the tire. The outer circumferential end portions of the reinforcing rubber layers extend to positions in which they are disposed between the end portions of the innermost belt layer and the corresponding portions of the carcass layer, while the inner circumferential end portions of these rubber layers extend inward in the radial direction of the tire so as to overlap the bead fillers in positions on the outer sides of the end portions of the carcass layer in the widthwise direction of the tire. A 100% modulus at 100°C of the rubber constituting the reinforcing rubber layers is not higher than that of the rubber of the belt layers, and a dynamic elastic modulus at 20°C of the former rubber in the range of 10-40 MPa. The thickness of the portions of the reinforcing rubber layers which are between the edges of the innermost belt layer and the outer circumferential ends of the bead fillers is set securely to not less than 1.00 mm, and the thickness of the parts of the side wall portions which are on the tire outer sides of the reinforcing rubber layers also not less than 1.00 mm.
