Abstract: In a microcomputer, a programmable memory (10)
such as a flash EEPROM has a first memory region (block 1
to block 3) and a second memory region (block 0). In
this case, the first memory region stores an application
program, while the second memory region stores a boot
program for rewriting the application program. Under
this condition, a selecting circuit (17) selects only the
first memory region for erasure.
Patent EP-0788089-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GOPALAKRISHNAN PONANI
IPC: G10K11/178
Filed: 1997-01-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing the effect of background music or noise from speech input to a speech recognizer so as to improve recognition accuracy has been devised. Samples of pure music or noise related to the background music or noise that corrupts the speech input are utilized to reduce the effect of the background in speech recognition. The pure music and noise samples can be obtained in a variety of ways. The music or noise corrupted speech input is segmented in overlapping segments and is then processed in two phases: first, the best matching pure music or noise segment is aligned with each speech segment; then a linear filter is built for each segment to remove the effect of background music or noise from the speech input and the overlapping segments are averaged to improve the signal to noise ratio. The resulting acoustic output can then be fed to a speech recognizer.

Abstract: A video recording apparatus having a storage means
to store program reservation data and equipped with a
reserved recording function which utilizes program ID
superimposed on broadcast signal. This apparatus includes
a time difference table to store data of time differences
between the sites of broadcasting stations and a receiving
site, and when the program ID is to be stored as
reservation data, the program ID is corrected with
reference to the time difference table and then the
corrected data is stored. The program ID inputted as
reservation data represents the hour at the receiving site.
Therefore, even when PIL data are mutually different due to
the time difference between any selected broadcasting
station and the receiving site, reserved recording of a
desired program can be performed exactly on the basis of
PDC or VPS with mere setting of the relevant country by a
user, hence enhancing the operability and reliability of
the apparatus.

Abstract: A system and method for optimizing an inventory of rolls used
in a rolling mill, the rolling mill having a plurality of rolling
equipment each utilizing a predetermined combination of roll stands
and roll guides. Each of the roll stands and roll guides utilizes
at least one pair of rolls for respectively working and guiding an
entry product of a predetermined size into an output product of a
selected size. The method and system operates to compile and store
data corresponding to individual rolls in the inventory.
Operational parameters are defined for the rolling mill to produce
the output product. The data corresponding to the individual rolls
is iteratively correlated with the operational parameters to create
an array of possible roll combinations for each roll stand or roll
guide. Optimal family sets of rolls are determined from the array
of possible roll combinations for the rolling mill in accordance
with the operational parameters.

in conformance with the preferred embodiment, each polarization component
is converged by a particular microlens, is reflected by a mirror (16), and
converged a second time by passage through the same microlens.

Abstract: A one-way adapter such as a cable modem is
initialized to allow a personal computer to receive
data from a computer network such as the Internet
via a broadcast channel, while transmitting data
upstream to the computer network via a telephone
line. First, a two-way adapter such as a phone
modem is initialized by establishing a telephone
link with a terminal server of an Internet Service
Provider telephone network. The terminal server
obtains an IP address from a phone network address
server, and assigns the IP address to the phone
modem stack. Next, the cable modem stack sends out
a request for session initialization to a cable
modem driver. The request is processed by a packet
processing relay agent (PPRA), and the IP address of
the phone modem is inserted into the packet. The IP
packet destination address is set to that of a cable
network address server. A cable network address
server receives the packet via an upstream telephone
line and responds with IP address and configuration
information for the relay agent address. The phone
modem receives the response and passes it to the
cable modem stack via the PPRA. The cable modem is
thus initialized with IP address and configuration
information and is ready to receive Internet data
via a one-way RF channel.
